AMBENO (TOP) - Timor-Leste's long-promised gas pipeline to the south coast is taking physical shape. The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MPRM) has awarded three offshore survey contracts for the Greater Sunrise and Pipeline Highway projects. Together with the geophysical contract awarded in July 2026, they cover the seabed data needed to route gas from Greater Sunrise and Bayu-Undan to Natarbora. Offshore work begins in January 2027, and Front-End Engineering Design is expected to follow later that year.
