Indonesia - Abadi LNG

[Administrator]

Approval of revised development plan and participation of new partners



The INPEX-operated Abadi LNG Project is one of the largest projects in Asia. Once started up, this project will enable a stable supply of energy over the long term in Asia. By liquefying natural gas from the Abadi Gas Field at an onshore LNG facility, the project is expected to produce approximately 9.5 million tons of LNG per year, up to 35,000 barrels of condensate per day and approximately 150 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.



An initial development plan was approved by the Indonesian government in 2019. However, aspiring to make the project cleaner ensuring long-term competitiveness and improving sustainability, we decided to introduce CCS and submitted a revised development plan to the Indonesian government in April 2023, which was approved in December 2023. Additionally, Indonesia's Pertamina and Malaysia's PETRONAS joined the project as new partners in October 2023. Both partners are companies with extensive experience in oil and gas development in Indonesia and LNG projects globally.

Responding to natural gas demand in Asia


In close coordination and cooperation with our partners, Pertamina and Petronas, we commenced front-end engineering design (FEED) work in August 2025. We are also steadily proceeding with the necessary development preparation work for the final investment decision (FID), such as obtaining environmental and social impact assessments and related approvals, securing land for the project, marketing activities for LNG sales, and financing discussions.

Achievement of both cleaner energy and cost competitiveness

Realizing a net zero carbon society is an urgent challenge. In this project, we plan to neutralize the CO2 emitted from natural gas production at the Abadi Gas Field through the introduction of CCS. This project is expected to be the first LNG project where CCS, commencing at the same time as production, will be eligible for cost recovery based on the production sharing contract (PSC) framework governing upstream oil and natural gas projects in Indonesia.
