The completion of this project will strengthen our regional portfolio of major gas projects and enhance our position as a leading supplier of natural gas and LNG in the Asia-Pacific region," said George Kirkland, vice chairman, Chevron.

"Chevron has been a key part of the energy sector in Indonesia for more than 80 years and we are committed to assisting the country in developing its resources, and meeting the growing demand for natural gas in Indonesia and the region." Chevron currently has an 80 percent interest in the project and is seeking regulatory approval for a partial farm-down of the holding.
