SYDNEY, Aug 1 Asia Pulse - Phillips Petroleum Pty Ltd and its joint venture partners have indefinitely deferred plans to build a $A1.5 billion ($US755.55 million) gas pipeline to Darwin.

The pipeline underpins $A13 billion ($US6.55 billion) in developments including a methanol plant and Timor Sea gas piped to Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

"The deferral reflects the need to resolve certain critical legal, fiscal and taxation issues arising from the Timor Sea Arrangement entered into between the governments of Australia and East Timor," the US-based parent company Phillips Petroleum Co said in a statement.

"This decision may prevent commercialisation of certain Timor Sea gas resources."

Under the new Timor Gap agreement between Australia and East Timor signed in Dili this month, the cost of exploiting gas resources in the Timor Sea increased because of the loss of investment incentives.
