Quality Assurance and Integrity Engineer BP Indonesia Jobs and Career December 2012

BP Indonesia is one of the largest foreign investors in this country, with investment of around US$5 billion to date. Every BP mainstream business is represented here, from upstream (Tangguh LNG and VICO) to downstream (Castrol) and petrochemicals (PT AMI).

With the BP-operated Tangguh LNG project underway, Indonesia is set to maintain its position as one of the world’s most important sources of liquefied natural gas.

Two important events led to BP's current position in Indonesia. The first was the acquisition of ARCO in 2000. The second was the go-ahead by the Indonesian Government on 6 March 2005 for the Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in Bintuni Bay of Papua Barat.

The first cargo of LNG from Tangguh, on board the Tangguh Foja, was sent on July 6, 2009, to POSCO’s LNG regasification terminal in Gwangyang in South Korea.

The Tangguh project has long term contracts in place to supply 2.6 million tonnes of LNG a year to the Fujian terminal in China, 1.15 million tonnes a year to K-Power and POSCO in South Korea, and a flexible contract to supply up to 3.7 million tonnes a year to Sempra's LNG regas terminal in Baja California, Mexico.

Tangguh LNG is the first fully-vertically integrated LNG operation in Indonesia, producing gas from Papua Barat offshore and delivering LNG to customers. Tangguh is operating at design capacity; with work now ongoing to expand the plant through addition of a 3rd LNG train.
