Abstract

After being separated from Indonesia’s sovereign territory, Timor Leste has the most obvious energy issues because its oil wealth is located on the disputed maritime border with Australia. This energy wealth is Timor Leste’s advantage and bargaining chip, but it is also its weakness because this country is too dependent on natural oil resources for its economic growth. This research will study two main ideas: identifying Timor Leste energy security problems in the maritime border region with Australia and how it impacted to the environmental damage. To analyze this, this research will apply the concept of energy security to identify the biggest problem of Timor Leste, namely energy dependence, and environmental damage due to oil spills in the maritime border of the two countries. This study formulates several impacts related to aspects of political-economic impact, environmental impact. There are economic issues with Timor Leste’s oil reserves, which are predicted to run out soon because Timor Leste’s oil revenues have declined dramatically.
