Indonesia reduces gas exports to Singapore in order to 'safeguard reliability' of domestic supplies

Indonesia reduced natural gas exports to Singapore on Saturday, diverting 31 million standard cubic feet per day from its Natuna and Sumatra fields. The decision was implemented to prioritize domestic demand and ensure the reliability of gas supplies for electricity generation within Indonesia.

According to the country's upstream oil and gas regulator, the move is intended to safeguard domestic energy security. The reduction in exports has reportedly created friction between the two neighboring nations.
