Finder secures key environmental approval for oil development in Timor-Leste
What happened
Finder Energy secured the principal environmental approval for its Kuda Tasi and Jahal (KTJ) oil development in Timor-Leste. Timor-Leste's Autoridade Nacional do Petróleo (ANP) approved the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), establishing the operational framework for the project. This approval follows the previously approved Field Development Plan (FDP). Finder is now progressing joint venture processes, project agreements, and debt financing ahead of a potential final investment decision.

Why it matters
The EIS approval clears a major regulatory hurdle for the KTJ project, which covers development, construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning. The successful navigation of this regulatory process is key to the project moving forward toward FID and potential production.
