Joint jurisdiction and development in Southeast Asian Seas: Factors and candidate areas

Energy, 1985, vol. 10, issue 3, 573-579

Abstract: Potential hydrocarbon-bearing areas in Southeast Asian seas with unresolved boundaries include the eastern Gulf of Thailand, the Natuna area, offshore Brunei, the Gulf of Tonkin, the Dangerous Ground, and the Timor Sea. Factors influencing consideration of joint jurisdiction and development include the character of basic relations between the claimants; the need for oil; presence or absence of islands; validity of claims in international law; the degree of knowledge of the deposits; preoccupation of states elsewhere; stability of sovereignty in the area; and East-West security concerns. According to these factors, joint jurisdiction and development may presently be feasible between Vietnam and Kampuchea in the eastern Gulf of Thailand, Indonesia and Australia in the Timor Sea, and Malaysia and the Philippines in the Spratly area.
