"The development of Masela Block, with the addition of a floating LNG facility of 2.5 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) capacity, would run parallel with the development of phase one. With this, the overall capacity will be increased," he said after receiving Shell representatives here on Thursday.
Hatta expressed hope with the development of the Masela Block, LNG production would be enough to meet national gas needs until 2018.
"We have to produce large amount of LNG to meet domestic needs," he said.
Hatta stated Shell was likely to invest around US$10 billion in the project.(IGT)
