The Bontang LNG plant on the eastern coast of the island of Borneo celebrates its 30th year of operation and is currently the second largest in the world after Qatar, having begun operating with 2 trains in 1977.
The plant, operated by PT Badak NGL, now has 8 operating trains and produces a capacity of 22.3 million tpy of LNG and received a visit from a number of Brunei government officials, organised by Total E&P Borneo and Total E&P Indonesie.
Since the plant was built it has shipped almost 6,700 cargos of LNG to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan and has 4 pipelines that bring gas to the plant, provided by Total E&P Indonesie (80%), Vico Indonesia (around 15%) and Chevron (5%).
