Jakarta Post: Pertamina plans more gas infrastructure

State-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina is planning to develop more infrastructure to support gas deliveries to domestic buyers.

Pertamina senior vice president for gas and power Salis Aprilian said the firm was now working on plans to develop infrastructure in Cilamaya, West Java and Bojanegara, Banten.

“The Cilamaya floating storage unit is in the final investment decision [FID] stage. In our feasibility studies, we have assessed various matters related to the planned Cilamaya Port,” Salis said.

He was referring to a plan to develop a port in Cilamaya, which is part of a program under the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Development (MP3EI). The planned development of Cilamaya Port has recently jittered PHE ONWJ, Pertamina’s unit serving as a contractor for an oil block called the Offshore North West Java.

Meanwhile, Salis said, a feasibility study was being conducted for the development of gas infrastructure in Bojanegara. MORE
