Total SA will develop two gas fields in Indonesia next year to boost supply to the world’s largest liquefied natural gas plant, an Indonesian government official said. Total’s Sisi and Nubi offshore fields are in the Mahakam area in East Kalimantan province, said Zanial Achmad, deputy of planning at state oil regulator BPMigas. Total has said it plans to spend USD 1 billion this year in Mahakam, after investing USD 1.1 billion last year. âWe’re going to approve the development proposal,â? Zanial said in Jakarta. âTotal is committed to putting more investment in Indonesia to develop the fields.â?
Indonesia’s government is seeking more natural gas to supply the Bontang plant, which produces LNG for exports. The government earlier this year asked Total, Unocal Corp. and a unit belonging to both BP Plc and Eni SpA to supply more gas to the plant after a drop in gas supply from Total and the BP unit disrupted production of LNG.
