The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) ensures that it will gradually reduce the export contract for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargo from the Tangguh Train-3 project.
This condition will increase the volume of LNG that has not been contracted. For this reason, SKK Migas will focus on finding vacancies in the LNG contract in the domestic market.
Head of SKK Migas, Dwi Soetjipto, said that one of the consumers who will buy the Tangguh Train-3 LNG is PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). In 2022, PLN is projected to purchase 60 cargoes of LNG.
"We hope that PLN can buy what has been allocated, said Dwi Soetjipto.
For information, the Tangguh Train-3 project is projected to be onstream in the fourth quarter of 2021. That means retreating from the target in the second quarter of 2021. The gas sales for the Tangguh Train-3 project owned by BP Berau Ltd will reach 595 million cubic feet per day (mmscfd).
"Production started in the first year of about 40 cargoes and an increase of 60 cargoes in the following years," he said.
Apart from being purchased by PLN, Kansai Electric is the LNG consumer of Train-3.
SKK Migas Acting Head of Program and Communication Susana Kurniasih stated that SKK Migas and BP Berau Ltd are committed to providing the volume according to the contract.
She said the domestic market was a priority for Tangguh LNG purchases. When the domestic market has bought optimally, the excess LNG will be exported.
