Timor-Leste and Woodside are planning direct talks in an attempt to unlock the stalled Sunrise LNG project in the Timor Sea. The project owners want to deploy a floating LNG production vessel while the Timor-Leste government wants a subsea pipeline and onshore LNG plant on its south coast. There has been little progress since the July elections in Timor-Leste but a meeting late last month of the inter-governmental Sunrise Commission, which includes Australia, resulted in some movement.
