Project Description
Indonesia is estimated to have 104-trillion standard cubic feet (tscf) in proven gas reserves and 48 tscf in potential gas reserves, making it the thirteenth-largest owner of proven natural gas reserves in the world and the second-largest in Asia Pacific after China.
The IDD project involves four production-sharing contracts (PSCs) for Ganal, Rapak, the Makassar Strait and Muara Bakau, with five gasfields: Bangka, Gehem, Gendalo, Maha and Gandang, in the Makassar Strait, in East Kalimantan.

The project is estimated at $12-billion.

The Bangka field was initially scheduled to begin production in 2016, followed by the Gehem and Gendalo fields in 2018.
The project is now expected to begin one year later than previously planned.
