The Abadi LNG project in Indonesia, operated by INPEX Masela, has started front-end engineering and design (FEED) work at its onshore liquefied natural gas plant. The project covers 2,500km² and is expected to produce 10.5 million tonnes per annum of natural gas.

The FEED work involves a “dual FEED” approach with two separate contractor consortiums competing. The project aims to enhance energy security for Indonesia, Japan, and other Asian nations by offering a stable supply of low-carbon energy. It aligns with INPEX’s Vision 2035 plan to expand its natural gas and LNG business.

The project includes provisions for carbon capture and storage, with an aim to produce 9.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG, equivalent to over 10% of Japan’s yearly LNG imports. INPEX remains committed to strengthening its Indonesian operations and contributing to the regional economy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

INPEX Masela awarded a marine survey contract to Fugro in March 2024. The project is expected to impact the economic development of eastern Indonesia and support the country’s goal of achieving net-zero CO₂ emissions by 2060. The FEED work is an essential step in detailing the OLNG specifications.
