The news comes days after BP decided to to stop exploration work in the Great Australian Bight (GAB), off South Australia. The UK major will acquire 80% equity and be operator of WA-409-P and will fund 100% of the work programme required under the permit for the first three years of the licence renewal, Cue Energy said October 13. Thus costs in Cue's remaining 20% stake will be carried by BP.BP also has an option through May 2017 to acquire 42.5% equity in WA-359-P. If BP exercises this option, 50% of the cost of drilling a well in WA-359-P will be funded.

Indonesia is home to large gas reserves, and produces twice as much as it consumes and yet there is a shortage of gas for industry and other consumers. While the government has great plans to use natural gas as one of the main sources of energy, progress in this sector has been slow, owing to the lack of exploration investment and infrastructure development. Indonesia will need at least $32.42bn to finance the development of its national gas pipeline project, which will connect gas fields and gas stations in the country’s major cities. Out of the total amount, some $420mn will be needed for liquefied petroleum gas processing and distribution facilities, $13bn for construction of gas stations, $8.5bn for pipeline development, $8bn for liquefaction and re-gasification projects, and $2.5bn to establish city gas networks.

UK major BP has taken the decision to stop exploration work in the Great Australian Bight (GAB), offshore South Australia, as it is no longer competitive with other projects in its portfolio, it said October 11. Following a review of its upstream strategy this year it decided to focus exploration on opportunities likely to create value in the near to medium term. BP has determined that the GAB project will not be able to compete for capital investment with other upstream opportunities in its global portfolio in the foreseeable future," and had nothing to do with the prospectivity of the region or with the regulatory process. It has not received environmental permits for drilling, a year after submitting its first application to Nopsema, the regulator. It will now enter talks with the government on how to meet its drilling commitments.
