Indonesia cuts pipeline gas exports to Singapore by 31 BBTUD
The reductions affect supplies from Natuna and Sumatra as the government prepares to review gas allocations for domestic industry.
Indonesia’s upstream oil and gas regulator, SKK Migas, has reduced pipeline gas supplies to Singapore by 31 BBTUD, according to its head, Djoko Siswanto. The cut comprises 15 BBTUD from Natuna and 16 BBTUD from Sumatra.
Djoko said the Sumatra reduction affects gas from the Jambi Merang working area. He said the pipeline export cuts apply only to Singapore because the pipelines connect directly to that country.
Separately, Bahlil Lahadalia, coordinating minister for downstreaming and energy transition and energy and mineral resources minister, said the government would reassess export allocations to increase gas availability at home. The planned review is intended to support feedstock supplies for Indonesia’s downstream petrochemical industry.
Bahlil said Indonesia exports about 30 per cent of its gas production, while 70 per cent goes to domestic consumption, including feedstock for downstream industries. On 21 October 2026, he said the government was considering stopping gas exports to neighbouring countries, citing national energy security and domestic supply needs amid geopolitical tensions.
