JAKARTA - The Special Working Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) has provided the latest information regarding the groundbreaking of the Abadi Gas Field project in the Masela Block.
Head of SKK Migas Djoko Siswanto said that currently the operator of Masela, Inpex Masela Ltd. is paying compensation for people affected by the Abadi Gas Field project in the Masela Block.
"It's still compensation for planting and growing," he told the media, Friday, March 6.
For information, the groundbreaking for this project was previously targeted to be carried out in March before Eid al-Fitr 2026.
Djoko also said that to facilitate this project, an integrated team would be formed to calculate the amount of compensation funds that must be paid to the affected community.
"Not compensation but compensation. From there, how much we decide, we will only pay before groundbreaking," said Djoko.
Djoko admitted that he was reluctant to do groundbreaking before the compensation payment was completed.
He is also optimistic that the groundbreaking process will still be carried out this month.
"Yes, God willing," said Djoko.
