By Febry Silaban

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources expects BP Indonesia, the operator of Tangguh LNG plant in West Papua, to secure main buyers for its Train III project by the end of March.

Director General of Oil and Gas IGN Wiratmaja said there are potential companies overseas who are interested in the project, but stopped short of naming the companies.

?Buying commitment of main buyers is expected to be secured at the end of March. BP can make a Final Investment Decision (FID) thereafter,? Wiratmaja said recently.
