Background

The “Autoridade Nacional do Petroleo” (ANP) is Timor-Leste’s public institution responsible for managing and regulating petroleum activities in Timor-Leste’s exclusive jurisdictional areas and in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA). The ANP undertakes its role pursuant to the Decree Law on the establishment of the ANP, the Petroleum Activities Law, and the Timor Sea Treaty.

The ANP aims at ensuring compliance with the rules and regulations covering the exploration, development, production, transportation, and distribution of petroleum and natural gas resources in its jurisdictional areas. Through regular supervision and monitoring of all petroleum activities, the ANP seeks to provide maximum benefit to Timor-Leste and Australia (in the case of the JPDA) whilst upholding the best practices for Health, Safety and the Environment.
