East West

The Kitan oil field is located in the northern Bonaparte Basin in the Joint Petroleum Development Area, an area jointly administered by Timor-Leste and Australia. The Kitan structure is a Jurassic east-west trending tilted fault block. The Kitan–1 exploration well was drilled and successfully tested in early 2008. Kitan–2 appraisal well was drilled immediately after Kitan–1 and intersected the reservoir up-dip from Kitan–1 and confirmed the extension of the oil accumulation. The main oil-bearing section is in the shallow marine sandstone of the Middle Jurassic Laminaria Formation. It is divided into two reservoir zones: a blocky channelised sandstone (Unit–2) overlain by a dominantly finer-grained succession composed of coarsening-upwards para-sequences (Unit–1). Kitan oil field was declared a commercial discovery in April 2008 and a field development plan was submitted in May 2009 and approved in April 2010. Four development wells were drilled of which three were completed as producers, each employing an intelligent completion design to enable independent control and monitoring of the two reservoirunits. The three wells were tied back subsea via flexible flowlines and risers to the Glas Dowr FPSO. Oil production from the Kitan started in October 2011, about 3.5 years after the discovery of the field. The fast-track development of Kitan was achieved due to accelerated appraisal, prompt completion of studies, early commitment to long lead items, and excellent support from joint-venture partners and government.

Border Crossers

ABSTRACTThe urgency to set up the Border Between Indonesia and Timor-Leste and the border crossers is based on much more complex historical reasons than the arrangement of Indonesia's borders with other countries. Border governance policies between Indonesia and Timor-Leste are characterized by: border governance policies indicate a desire to adopt an integrated approach, governance practices tend to be fragmented where two very dominant approaches are the security approach and the socio-economic welfare approach. A border governance policy that ignores cultural identity variables leads to a reverse response, namely the use of cultural identity to challenge the country's dominant conception and policy in border governance. The phenomenon of "rat road" and other cross-border interaction networks called illegal by the state can be read as a form of local community resistance to the claim of state sovereignty over the border. In an integrated border governance policy, a cultural approach should be one of the main components that characterize other approaches. Jailly puts the four dimensions of the policy parallel, the cultural approach in border governance policy to the principles that fuel security policy, local politics and economic policy in border governance. The practical consequence of this study is the policy that border governance must move beyond the dominance of the economic security approach to an integrated approach. This study proposes the concept of trans-border social and cultural space as an important element in integrated border governance.Key Words: Border governance, Indonesia – Timor-Leste, Cultural crosser borders.

Effective Use

Over the past 10 years, the Southland District Council has developed a proactive integrated approach to economic development. The approach has developed in response to identified needs and opportunities. The strategy recognises the importance of quality recreational opportunities, local services, amenities and infrastructure in the retention of population and attraction of new residents. These are seen as being complementary to initiatives targeted at producing increased employment opportunities. Regional initiatives are undertaken with other authorities or organisations where appropriate, and include: • Tourism Southland • Regional Identity - Branding • Crops for Southland • Topoclimate • Enterprise Connections. A close working relationship and accountability to local communities is maintained through elected members. These include the Mayor, Councillors and 12 Community Boards and 16 Community Development Area Committees. Concept development plans, prepared in conjunction with local communities, provide the basis for identifying local aspirations and priorities and linking these, where appropriate, to regional initiatives to ensure an integrated approach is achieved. A project-based approach and working with groups or organisations with a clear focus and expertise relevant to the project or issue, ensures effective use of resources and the achievement of positive outcomes.

Development Area

Automobile industry practice has shown that it is not sufficient merely to apply familiar quality control methods such as FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) or QFD (quality function deployment), to introduce development process (DP) systems or to adopt project management procedures when an improvement in product quality is required. More than this has to be done: the product development procedure must be better arranged and made capable of achieving preventive quality assurance. This paper presents an all-areas quality assurance concept as drawn up in the body development area of the BMW AG company and implemented successfully in the course of several pilot projects prior to general introduction. It is intended to provide stimuli and encouragement for similar measures to be taken in other areas, for example in the machinery construction industry.

Further Development

Since the de-annexation of East Timor from Indonesia, the status of the production sharing contracts issued under the Timor Gap Treaty between Australia and Indonesia has been uncertain. The Zone of Co-operation has been administered pursuant to interim arrangements agreed between Australia and UNTAET, the United Nations authority responsible for the administration of East Timor. With the exception of the development activities being carried on in connection with the Bayu-Undan Field, work by the contractors under their PSC’s has basically halted. The contractors have in effect been in a state of force majeure.On 20 May 2002, Australia and East Timor signed a Treaty for the further development of the region, now known as the joint petroleum development Area. A number of significant changes have been made. At the time of preparing this abstract the Treaty has not been ratified and the exact form of the production sharing contracts to be offered to the existing contractors is not known. The arrangements under the Timor Sea Treaty are interim only and can be changed upon permanent delimitation of the seabed boundaries. Australia and East Timor have indicated that they intend to proceed to negotiate those boundaries.This paper will analyse the history of the negotiations and their outcome, the international unitisation agreement, the positions of the existing holders of production sharing contracts and how their rights are to be transitioned through to the new regime. The paper will report on the new issues and risks that arise for contractors who have existing titles and those who are seeking to invest in the JPDA and on any changes to commercial terms.
