he first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo from the Jangkrik field within the Muara Bakau block has been delivered to the Tanjung Benoa regasification terminal in Bali from the LNG Bontang refinery in East Kalimantan. 

The delivery was part of a long-term contract with state-owned oil and gas giant Pertamina. The Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKKMigas) deputy chairman, Sukandar, said that a majority of the gas produced from the Muara Bakau field would be prioritized for fertilizer factories and other domestic industries where it was needed. 

“The fulfilment of demand is also proof that the upstream oil and gas industry completely supports the government’s program to maintain food and energy security in Indonesia,” he said, according to a press release. 

In addition to fertilizer plants, the LNG will also be used to help support the power sector to ensure that those in eastern Indonesia have access to electricity. 

Up until Thursday, gas produced by the Jangkrik field has been processed into LNG at a rate of 2,400 million cubic square feet per day (mmscfd). The current production rate is around 200 mmscfd, which will eventually reach a peak of 450 mmscfd. (dmr)
