Background

In September 2023, an indirect unit of Genting Oil & Gas, PT Layar Nusantara Gas (PTLNG), entered a deal with China’s Wison (Nantong) Heavy Industry to secure long lead items for a floating LNG (FLNG) terminal in West Papua, Indonesia. The facility will have a capacity of 1.2 mtpa and be located in Genting's Kasuri block. An onshore gas processing plant and gas pipeline will be built as well.

As of September 2023, Wison O&M was conducting a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study that it planned to complete by November 2023. The facility was estimated to come online in the second quarter of 2026.

In June 2024, LNG Prime reported that Wison had won a US$1 billion contract to build the FLNG facility. The FLNG is expected to leave the shipyard in Q2 2026 and head toward its final destination at Teluk Bintuni, West Papua.
