3) BP Gets Green Light for $12b Papua LNG Plan, but Tender Questions LingerTito Summa Siahaan | November 03, 2012
British oil and gas giant BP has secured Indonesian government approval for its $12 billion expansion plan for its Tangguh liquefied natural gas project in Papua.
The expansion was approved by oil and gas regulator BPMigas, after a meeting between British Prime Minister David Cameron, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and BP executives.
“Approval of the plan is an important step in preparation for the final investment decision for this expansion, which is expected to be taken in 2014. This would potentially enable commissioning operations for the new train to begin in late 2018,” BP said in a statement on Friday.
Cameron hailed the approval, saying that it would be “a huge boost to UK’s growing trade and investment in Indonesia’s emerging market.”
According to the project proposal, BP will build at the site a third train — a facility that turns natural gas into LNG — with a capacity of 3.8 million tons a year. This will bring the total combined capacity to 11.4 million tons of gas.
BP owns a 37.2 percent share and operates the project, which is linked to the exploitation of six gas fields with estimated reserves standing at around 14.4 trillion cubic feet.
“The expansion of Tangguh will be a significant step towards realizing the full potential of this major strategic asset,” said BP chief executive Bob Dudley, who dubbed the project as “a demonstration of our long-term commitment to Indonesia.”
While the project was hailed, some oil and gas industry analysts voiced concern over the cost of the project.
Kurtubi, an oil and gas analyst and a professor at Trisakti University in Jakarta, said the development cost for the project was very high.
“It is because the tender was not open to other participants. If other companies like state-controlled gas distributor Perusahaan Gas Negara and state-owned energy firm Pertamina participated in the project, then the development cost would be reduced,” he said.
Because of the high cost of development, cost recovery will be expensive too, Kurtubi said. “It will then reduce the amount of state revenue.”
Cost recovery is the reimbursement the government pays to oil and gas contractors after the project comes on stream. In theory, cost recovery is necessary to encourage investment in the oil and gas sector. But in practice it cuts the government’s share of oil and gas production.
Previously, BPMigas and BP were unable to reach an agreement over the project’s development cost.
Widhyawan Prawiraatmadja, the deputy for planning at BPMigas, said last month that the contractor requested some of the development costs of the third train — which is considered part of the cost recovery — should come directly from the government’s shares in the other units. The proposal was rejected by the government.
Based on the original contract, Sempra — an American energy firm— will receive as much as 3.7 million tons of LNG annually from the existing two trains in Tangguh, with the government having an option to sell 50 percent of its quota to another buyer. However, it managed to increase the quota to 90 percent.
“We rejected the contractor’s request, as the success of the renegotiation [required much] effort and the output from trains [one and two] is not related [to] the development of the [third train],” Widhyawan noted.
BP and partners in the Tangguh project will soon begin tendering the front-end engineering and design services for the project.
In addition to the third train construction, BP will also help develop the Bintuni Bay project by allocating some 15 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas to generate power.
About 40 percent of the third train output will be sold to state electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara for domestic consumption.
Tangguh is one of three LNG plants in Indonesia. The other two include the Bontang plant in East Kalimantan and Arun plant in Aceh.
LNG from Tangguh is delivered to China’s Fujian LNG project, South Korea’s K-Power and Posco, and Mexico’s Sempra Energy.
The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry expects to produce an average of 5,118 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas annually, from this year until 2020, drawing from 17 gas fields that are now or will soon be placed in operation.
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Jero Wacik and several of top officials from his ministry were among Yudhoyono’s entourage during his three-day visit to Britain. The visit aimed to boost ties between the two countries.
In addition to the Tangguh development, a $700 million investment commitment from London-listed Premier was also secured during Yudhoyono’s Britain visit.
The president is scheduled to go to Laos for the Ninth Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) on the weekend.
