Following reports that Indonesian government has decided against the floating LNG solution for the development of the Inpex-operated Abadi gas field, the Japanese company is still awaiting the official confirmation.

Responding to media reports, in a statement on Thursday, Inpex, developing the gas field in cooperation with Shell, said it “is currently in the process of confirming the facts, and will give due consideration to the implementation of the Abadi LNG Project upon receiving official notification on the subject from Indonesian authorities… Going forward, INPEX will openly disclose in a timely manner any developments on this subject as appropriate.”
