Background
Sunrise FLNG Terminal is a proposed LNG terminal in East Timor and Australia.[4] As of 2017, Australia was the second largest LNG exporter after Qatar. The country exports almost 44 million tons a year. [5]
The Sunrise LNG Terminal would be located at the Sunrise and Troubadour fields. The fields are located approximately 93 miles south-east of East Timor and 280 miles north-west of Darwin. They hold 5.13 trillion cubic feet of gas and 225.9 million barrels of condensate.[6] The terminal had a proposed capacity of 3.6 mtpa.[2]
Forbes reported in 2016 Greater Sunrise’s gas reserves are potentially worth more than $8 billion to East Timor.[7]
In February of 2016, Rigzone reported that the Sunrise development had stalled on the account that the Australia and East Timor governments had yet to agree on their maritime borders.[6]
In October 2018 ConocoPhillips sold its 30% share in the Sunrise gas project to the government of Timor-Leste for $350 million, and in November 2018 Shell Australia sold its 26.56% share in the gas project to the government of Timor-Leste for $300 million.[8]
There have been no development updates since 2016 and the project is presumed to be cancelled.
As of July 2023, the Sunrise Joint Venture, Woodside, Timor Gap, and Osaka Gas, are in the midst of the concept selection for LNG production.[3]
