*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest gas producer, and has reaped economic benefits from its large gas exports for decades. But Indonesia's long-term gas supply outlook is uncertain and its growing economy is driving higher domestic demand for energy. LNG imports are planned to balance the market. However, the penetration of domestic LNG has been slow, and new upstream gas projects continue to target exports as the preferred means of monetisation. Will the country be able to develop supply projects to catch up with the growing demand and maintain its status as a gas exporter? We take a look at key areas of supply uncertainty and the risks mean for Indonesia's supply-demand balance.
