Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao and President Dr.Ramos Horta in the recent joint news conference in Dili, Timor Leste. They are pretty sure the gas pipeline from Greater Sunrise should go to Timor Leste.
We are happy about it, they have been aggressively engaging a lot of negotiation and we wish the negotiation will bring us something that can benefit for our sovereign country. As they said in the technical point of view it is feasible the pipeline go to Timor Leste. Which seems the main drive for this negotiation, but we should aware that with the current technologies and more to come, make possible the pipeline can go through our ocean and eventually end up in one of our coastal area in Timor Leste.
But, the question is, Do the companies in charge agree with it? because it is not just about the technical issue but there are many issues that need to be settle before it can realize.
As an engineer there is no doubt about technical wise for the pipeline to go to Timor Leste's territory, the issue is about the companies that want to invest, is it safe to go there?, Is enough local manpower to handle majority of the work? and the most crucial is that about the marketing opportunities.
To answer all of these doubts and unanswered questions there are many things that need to be seen by the government both present and in future.
