Oil Companies in the Timor SeaMany international oil companies are active in the Timor Sea, and OilWeb includes information about some of the most important. In some cases, you will need to be connected to the internet to follow all the links and get all the graphics from the company websites. In 1999, the East Timor Action Network (ETAN) arranged for the Data Center, a U.S.-based research NGO, to do a search of the industry media for information about companies involved in the Timor Gap. Click here for a compilation of their findings. Contents of this file
