OilWeb CD-ROM
November 2008

A comprehensive and extensive collection of information and documents relating to Timor-Leste Petroleum activities and related issues has been published on the OilWeb CD-ROM by La’o Hamutuk. This invaluable reference includes more than 700 web pages, 900 document files, and 700 images. The November 2008 edition has been archived to our website -- we did not continue to update it after that.

OilWeb includes material on Timor-Leste's petroleum resources, the history of exploration and development, the Australia-Timor-Leste maritime boundary dispute, the "resource curse", ecological effects, bidding and licensing rounds, transparency and accountability, petroleum and budgetary economics, oil and gas fields, and oil companies operating in Timor-Leste.

OilWeb also contains complete information and commentary on the enactment and implementation of Timor-Leste's petroleum regime and Petroleum Fund.

OilWeb focuses on Timor-Leste-specific issues, but also contains background papers and analysis on global issues or other countries.  Most of the material is in English and accessible to the non-expert reader. Some is in Bahasa Indonesia or Tetum, and some articles are written for people knowledgeable in legal or technical issues.

OilWeb is available from our office in Dili and a few international distributors: US$2 for campaigners, $50 for institutions. Click on the picture to order.
