1. Project Background
The Tangguh LNG facility, located in Teluk Bintuni Regency in Indonesia's Papua Barat Province, is operated by BP Berau Ltd on behalf of the Tangguh production sharing contract partners as contractor to SKK Migas. The Tangguh LNG Train 3 expansion was the largest single addition to Indonesian LNG capacity in the past decade.
According to public reporting, BP shipped its first cargo from Tangguh's expanded LNG facility in October 2023 after the new third liquefaction train was loaded out and dispatched to Indonesia's state-owned power utility PT PLN (Persero). The expansion added 3.8 million tonnes per annum of LNG production capacity to the existing two-train facility, bringing total Tangguh plant capacity to 11.4 mtpa. The project's reported total cost was approximately USD 8 billion.
For international procurement engineers, the Indonesia Tangguh Train 3 LNG expansion is a recent, well-documented reference for how a single LNG operator manages a brownfield third-train addition with significant offshore platform and pipeline scope.
