Indonesia started the year by approving development plans for two new offshore projects, as the authorities continue their efforts to raise domestic oil and gas production. UK-listed independent Harbour Energy secured approval for its planned development of the Tuna gas field in Indonesia, near the maritime border with Vietnam.

Harbour submitted the POD in October and plans to carry out a Feed study this year, with a target of reaching FID by the end of 2023
