East Timor puts a number on potential LNG import volumes

East Timor, which is considering converting its oil-fired power plants to gas in an effort to slash energy supply costs, estimates it will need about 0.37 million tonnes per year (t/y) of imported liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Last week, the Southeast Asian nation’s national oil company (NOC) TimorGAP announced it had launched a feasibility study exploring the development of a small-scale LNG import terminal.
