BP's Tangguh communications unit manager, Jacob Kastanja said the company will maximise the two planned LNG trains and would consider expansion in the future.
"We [will] carefully consider any plan to build an additional facility. But at the moment we are sticking to our plan of building two LNG trains," said Kastanja.
The larger than expected demand came on the back of a 20-year preliminary contract that BP Indonesia signed with Sempra Energy for 3.7 million tonnes of LNG per annum starting 2007. The other contracts it has are with China's Fujian Province (2.6 million tonnes per annum) and with South Korea's SK and Posco (1.1 million tonnes per annum).
