KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. The government has set a target for Japan-based Inpex and Dutch Shell to conduct a preliminary front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) for the development of the gas-rich Masela block in the Arafura Sea in January and to complete it by April at the latest. The pre-FEED is crucial to determine the location of the onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant that will be built by Inpex and Shell, which currently hold 65 and 35 percent stakes in Masela, respectively. “The pre-FEED should start this month [January] and it is expected to be completed within three months,” Deputy Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Arcandra Tahar said on Thursday in Jakarta.
