The Arun LNG plant is owned by PERTAMINA (The Oil And Gas State Enterprise Of The Republic Of Indonesia) and is located at Blang Lancang, North Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. It is about 15 km west of the port of Lhokseumawe, or about 300 km north-west of the city of Medan. The plant is operated by PT Arun NGL Co. The Arun LNG plant receives gas and unstabilized hydrocarbon condensate from the Arun Field gas reservoir which is developed and operated by MOBIL OIL INDONESIA under Production Sharing Contract with PERTAMINA and is located about 30 km south-east of the plant. The gas and condensate are transported by pipeline to the plant. Operation of the condensate recovery unit began in April 1977 and the three LNG trains began producing LNG in August 1978, September 1978 and February 1979 respectively. The original three-train plant now produces 34000 m/sup 3//day of LNG and 85000 bbl/day of condensate. An additional two LNG trains have been constructed and recently began production.
