Project Profile

Value: US$500 million, US$1.2 billion financing from Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC)
Location: Bintuni Bay, Papua Province
Start-up year: 2020
LNG capacity: 3.8 million tonnes per year  
Total plant capacity: 11.4 million tonnes per year

The project will see the expansion of the current 2-train Tangguh LNG project. The third train will have a capacity of 3.8 million tonnes per year. The Project involves the tapping of six fields to extract combined proven reserves of around 14.4 trillion cubic feet of gas. Two normally unmanned offshore production platforms located in Bintuni Bay will collect gas from the reservoir, then send it through sub-sea pipelines to an LNG processing facility on the south shore. The completion of the third train is expected before 2020. The project also includes two offshore platforms, 13 new production wells, an expanded LNG loading facility, and supporting infrastructure.
