The gas will be channeled through a 30-km pipe network which will be built by JOB Tomori, to the LNG plants.
DSLNG is a company set up by a subsidiary firm whose stake is fully owned by PT Medco LNG Indonesia (Medco LNG), together with Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) and Pertamina Energy Services Pte Ltd (Pertamina).
The ownership composition of DSLNG state is 51 percent owned by MC, 29 percent by Pertamina and 20 percent Medco LNG.
DSLNG was established to build and operate LNG refinery plants in Banggai district, Central Sulawesi province.

The LNG plants are estimated to have a capacity of two million tons per annum, and will process gas from the Senoro gas field of the Matindok Block operated by Pertamina.
