The amended plan covers plans to neutralise all CO₂  emissions from the Abadi gas field, through CCS.

The revised POD follows the Japanese company’s long-term strategy Inpex Vision @2022, which was announced in 2022, to achieve a net zero carbon society by 2050.

In a press statement, Inpex said: “As part of this initiative, the company has been in dialogue with the authorities to ensure the Project’s competitiveness and sustainability from a long-term perspective for the duration of the energy transition, and to render the Project clean and capable of responding to changes in the external environment.”

Indonesia upstream oil and gas regulator SKK Migas chairman Dwi Soetjipto was cited by Reuters as saying in a text message that the regulator is assessing the revised development plan for the Abadi LNG project.
