Article Abstract:
The Indonesian government and US Exxon Oil Co's agreement for development of the Natuna Sea gas field will help Indonesia maintain its position as the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG).

US$17 billion will be required to develop the field which is likely to increase the country's export earnings despite a decrease in Indonesia's oil production.
