Indonesia’s Jambaran-Tiung Biru gas project has begun production and is expected to reach an output of 172 mcf/day (1.8 bcm/year) by the end of October 2022. The project, managed by state-company Pertamina and located in East Java to the west of the city of Subaraya, was initially expected to go onstream in late 2020 or early 2021, but faced delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The project is designed to have output capacity of 2 bcm/year, but only 1.8 bcm/year have been contracted for buyers so far, including 1 bcm/year purchased by the state-owned utility PT PLN.
Indonesia is aiming to reach a lifting target of 1 million bpd and a gas production of 12 bcf/day (124 bcm/year) in 2030.
