SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): The reduction in the gas supply from Indonesia will make up less than 2% of Singapore’s total daily gas demand, said the Energy Market Authority (EMA) in the evening of Oct 24.
EMA was responding to queries from The Straits Times following announcements from an Indonesian official that it will be cutting gas exports to Singapore via two pipelines directly linked to the city-state.
The chief of Indonesia’s upstream oil and gas regulator SKK Migas Djoko Siswanto had been quoted in Indonesian media outlets on Oct 23 saying that the country will be cutting natural gas exports to Singapore by 31 billion British thermal units per day (BBTUD) from Oct 24.
The EMA spokesperson said that based on the information from Singapore’s natural gas importers, the total reduction amounts to 17BBTUD over a period of 18 days.
