Background

Tangguh LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in West Papua, Indonesia.[13] Train 1 of 3.8 mtpa was completed in 2009, and train 2 of an additional 3.8 mtpa in 2010. An additional train of 3.8 mtpa is under construction and planned for 2022.[14][15]

In August 2021, Indonesian oil and gas regulator SKK Migas approved the plan for the development of a carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) project at the Tangguh LNG export complex.[16]

In August 2023, the third train was reportedly nearing operation.[17]

CNOOC announced that Train 3 began operation in October, 2023.[18]

In November 2024, BP announced that it and its partners had taken a positive final investment decision on the Tangguh UCC project, consisting of the Ubadari gas field development, enhanced gas recovery through carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and onshore compression. The project will expand and utilize existing infrastructure at Tangguh LNG Terminal. The CCUS project will aim to sequester around 15 million tonnes of CO2 in its first phase.[19]

Delay due to COVID-19

In March 2020 Indonesia's upstream regulator the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) announced that construction of the terminal's third train would be delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Physical distancing has been established among workers at the site, leading to a decline from 13,000 workers to 10,000 workers in the third week of March, with plans to reduce on-site workers further to a core group of 3,000.[20] The 3.8-mtpa expansion to the 7.6-mtpa terminal was originally scheduled to be commissioned in Q3 2020 but was delayed to Q3 2021 because of two tsunamis in 2018.[20]

Financing

A US$3.74 billion debt finance package was agreed for Train 3 in August 2016. The Japan Bank for International Cooperation and the multilateral Asian Development Bank provided loans of US$1.2 billion and US$400 million respectively.[21][22]

The remaining US$2.14 billion financing was provided by the following Indonesian and international lenders, primarily commercial banks: Bank Mandiri, Bank Negara Indonesia, Indonesia Infrastructure Finance, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, Mizuho, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Mitsubishi UFJ, SMBC, DBS, United Overseas Bank, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, Korea Development Bank, Shinsei Bank, and KFW IPEX.[23]
