Construction of Duri-Dumai Started November

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. will begin construction of the Duri-Dumai transmission pipeline in Riau Province in November 2017. The 67 km gas pipeline project is jointly developed by PGN and PT Pertamina Gas, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina. Construction of Duri-Dumai transmission pipeline has been assigned through Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 4975 K / 12 / MEM / 2016.

That is, on October 1, 2018 Surely, the gas pipeline has been built in accordance with the contract of gas distribution from the Block Corridor (ConocoPhillips Grissik Limited) and Block Bentu (Energi Mega Persada).

"In early November PGN commenced construction of a natural gas transmission pipeline project from Duri to Dumai for 67 years. Physical development, can start because there is no more land acquisition problem. The reason is that there is a segment that will use the land of the toll road (right of way) of Pekanbaru-Dumai segment which is done by PT Hutama Karya. Thus, land acquisition becomes more minimal.

According to him, PGN has completed the licensing starting from the principle permit to the environmental permit so that the physical construction can be started.

 "We have obtained the principle permit from the regional government and environmental permit," he said.

PGN and Pertaagas will cost US $ 76 million or equivalent to Rp 1.02 trillion (Rp 13,500 per US $). Development fund of pipes is sourced and internal cash of each company.

PGN and Pertagas will form a joint venture. PGN holds 40% ownership, while Pertagas is 60%. The total gas supply that will flow into the transmission pipeline is about 200 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd).

The gas will be channeled to meet the needs of industries in Riau, port requirements, petrochemical industry, and operational needs of Pertamina's Dumai Plant.

"In principle on the PGN side is ready, just waiting for the readiness of the partners," he said.

Not only in Dumai, PGN is currently developing West Natuna Transmissi on System (WNTS) natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure to Pemping Island, Riau Islands Province which is a government assignment project.

PGN also develops natural gas pipeline in Muara Karang-Muara Bekasi along 42 km. In addition, the company builds a natural gas distribution pipeline network in Pasuruan, Mojokerto, East Java.

Previously, PGN Jobi President Director Triananda Hasjim said that the formation of a joint venture will be conducted simultaneously with the pipeline installation process. The joint venture will be a gas carrier in the pipeline.

"Maybe the JV [joint venture] will be parallel with the installation of the pipe," said Jobi.
