Indonesia asks LNG, crude oil producers to prioritize domestic market
4/6/2026
Indonesia is securing its oil and gas supply by asking energy companies to give priority to selling their output to the domestic market, said Djoko Siswanto, chairman of the country's upstream oil and gas regulator SKK Migas, on Monday.
Here are the details:
- The government will not issue export recommendations for liquefied natural gas (LNG) this year except for cargoes that have already been contracted.
- The government has also asked some companies to renegotiate their LNG cargo deliveries to later dates.
- Djoko said nine LNG cargoes from bp's Tangguh plant will be diverted to domestic buyers this year and sales to foreign buyers have been delayed to next year.
- The government also expects additional LNG cargoes later this year from the Bontang LNG plant, supported by gas output from fields operated by Italy's Eni.
- Around 98% of Indonesia's crude oil output is processed by domestic refineries, Djoko added, saying that the proportion has increased from last year.
