Indonesia's First FSRU to Start Supplying Gas This Month

Indonesia’s first floating storage and re-gasification unit (FSRU) will likely start supplying gas to PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara’s (PLN) Muara Karang power plant on May 15.

The Jakarta Post reported that the first gas delivery is predicted to reach 140 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd), as stipulated in the sales agreement, later to be increased to 200 mmscfd for the sake of testing capabilities. After that, delivery will slow back to 140 mmscfd.

The FSRU is being operated by PT Nusantara Regas, a company owned by state oil and gas firm PT Pertamina and state gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN).

Nusantara Regas has secured a contract for LNG supply from the Bontang LNG plant that reaches 11.75 million tons per annum with the contract duration of 11 years.
