Indonesia: West Java FSRU to Reach Full Capacity by Early 2017

Nusantara Regas of Indonesia expects its FSRU project in the Jakarta bay, West Java to operate at full volumes (3 million mt/year ) by end 2016 or early 2017, Platts reported, citing the company’s president director Hendra Jaya.

“We estimate that about 80,000-100,000 Mcf/day of gas will come from imports and the rest from domestic sources as many gas projects will come on stream in the coming years,” he said.

The West Java FSRU started operations in May this year.

PT Nusantara Regas, a joint venture company between Indonesia’s Pertamina and PGN, signed a Time Charter Party for the FSRU with Golar LNG Energy Limited in 2011.

The FSRU will be hired for 11 years and is the first FSRU in South East Asia.
