Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia, who also\nserves as Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming and Energy Transition,\nsaid the government would continue to safeguard gas sales and purchase\nagreements between producers and buyers, including contracted gas\nexports.<\/p>\n
Bahlil made the remarks to upstream oil and gas companies, or\nProduction Sharing Contractors (KKKS), at the 2026 Upstream Oil and Gas\nEconomic, Financial and Commercial Forum (FOREK Hulu Migas 2026) in\nJakarta on Wednesday (28 October 2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding our contractual commitments, I have checked with Mr Doko,\nthe head of SKK Migas. Our gas contracts for this year are clear, and so\nare the LNG contracts\u2014including those for exports,\u201d Bahlil said at the\nforum\u2019s opening.<\/p>\n
\u201cI must apologise for 2025, when domestic demand exceeded\nexpectations by 60 cargoes. As a result, some of them had to be\nrescheduled. But in 2026, we are carrying everything out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 2027, I have instructed SKK Migas to make the necessary\narrangements to protect the off-takers and markets covered by agreements\nsigned with overseas parties, so that everything can proceed,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod willing, everything will go ahead, so there is no problem and no\nneed for concern. If there is an issue, we will discuss it properly. We\nshould not make inappropriate statements outside. We will resolve\nmatters in accordance with customary practice and the rules,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bahlil-says-gas-export-contracts-will-be-maintained-in-2027-1793191843", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
