Although we differ with the government on its proposed development plan for Sunrise, we recognize the importance of the field to the nation of Timor-Leste, and the sale of our interest to the government gives them a working interest in this important development.”  The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent being satisfied, including funding approval from the government of Timor-Leste, regulatory approvals and partner pre-emption rights.
