Badak LNG is one of the big contributors to GDP for both Bontang and Indonesia in petroleum and gas sector.

The Badak LNG project began when Huffco (now Virginia Indonesia Company - VICO), an oil and gas contracting company with PSC at Pertamina, managed to find a giant natural gas reserve in the Muara Badak complex field (Samberah, Nilam and Mutiara fields),[1] East Kalimantan in February 1972, after the discovery of similar giant natural gas reserves in the Arun field, Aceh by Exxon Mobil.

If it operates at full capacity, the Badak LNG refinery can produce an average of 140,000 tons of natural gas per day.

The decline in production caused PT Badak to no longer be able to fulfill its commitment to the buyer's contract.

LPG production was forced to be stopped temporarily seeing the reduction in gas supply to PT Badak, starting from 2006.
