Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant, Train II, in West Papua province, has stopped its operation for several weeks due to a small fire that broke out on its cooling unit, an official said.
Deputy for operation of the Oil Gas Regulating Agency (BP Migas) Gde Pradnyana said here on Sunday that the small fire took place on the cooling unit of Tangguh's Train II last Tuesday 11.30 local time.
"Based on procedures, the operation of Train II should for the time being be terminated as soon as possible," he said.
He said the stoppage of the operations would last for a relatively long time because its equipment needed repair or replacement.
"It will possibly take several weeks before it could return to its normal operations," he said. The fire which was believed to have taken place due to overheating at its cooling unit has been extinguished.(*/DWA)
