Keppel O&M to explore LNG developments in Indonesia

It plans to distribute LNG using specialised carriers.

Keppel Offshore & Marine Limited (Keppel O&M) will look at developing small-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) distribution in Indonesia.

According to a press release, it entered a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Pavilion Energy and Indonesian-owned Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to collaborate on the small-scale LNG value chain.

The HOA will combine the companies' capacities to distribute LNG economically to remote areas in West Indonesia.

According to Keppel, LNG can be delivered to both floating and onshore LNG terminals using special carriers. These are regasified and used to generate electricity at PLN's power plants.

Keppel O&M chief executive officer Chris Ong said, "With a comprehensive suite of solutions for every stage of the gas value chain, including the world's first Floating Liquefaction Vessel (FLNGV) conversion and the world's first Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) conversion, we are able to provide cost effective, end-to-end solutions for our customers."

Keppel O&M does not expect the HOA to affect company performance for the year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
