Inpex Corp. has released a statement claiming that it has received a notification from the Indonesian government instructing it to propose a new development plan for the Abadi LNG project.

This follows the recent news that the Indonesian government had decided not to proceed with a floating LNG (FLNG) project, instead opting for an onshore LNG plant.

Joko Widodo, the President of Indonesia, reportedly said in March 2016: “This is a long-term project that concerns hundreds of trillions of rupiah. From these calculations, we have decided to build it onshore.”
