Towards the end of the first quarter of 2020, PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) and PT Rekayasa Industri (REKIND) reaffirmed their commitment to maintain the positive performance of the Jambaran - Tiung Biru Gas Field Development Project (JTB) for on-stream targets in July 2021.

Accelerating efforts work has been done to encourage the progress of the GPF-JTB EPC Project which as of March 18 2020 recorded 54.94% progress from the 55.35% plan, resulting in a variance of minus 0.41%.

This decline occurred because of challenges that have hampered construction work, one of which is high rainfall. In 2019, the actual progress is always ahead of 0.5% and plan. At present, another challenge faced is the Covid-19 pandemic which has caused lock-down conditions in several countries where the fabrication of equipment and materials such as Italy, Korea, and China.
"This has the potential to have an impact on the project equipment and material procurement process," explained REKIND President Director, Yanuar Budinorman.
Anticipating this, PEPC and REKIND jointly coordinated intensively with relevant vendors in an effort to maintain the delivery of equipment and materials not to affect the on-stream gas target in July 2021, including using resident inspectors abroad to supervise fabrication.
In his direction on the March 7, 2020 field visit, SKK Migas Head Dwi Soetjipto stressed that the JTB Field was the only hope for supplying the largest gas in East Java so the JTB Project had to be onstream in July 2021. For this reason, it was hoped that PEPC and the EPC contractor, the Consortium REKIND-JGC-JGI Indonesia and SKK Migas work hand in hand in executing this JTB Project.

"Implementation of the construction of the JTB Project as a National Strategic Project is a mandate that is not easy, however, since the inaugural Design of the EPC GPF JTB on January 4, 2019, REKIND is committed to always showing the best professionalism and performance. With solid collaboration with PEPC, REKIND is optimistic that the onstream Iuli 2021 target will be achieved, "he stressed.
PEPC and REKIND continue to prioritize work safety and work on strategies to accelerate work both in terms of the adequacy and competence of human resources, reliable management, and project supervision. This strategy is implemented, among others, by placing under one roof the entire Project team, both from PEPC and REKIND, so that coordination, review processes, and approvals can be carried out quickly and effectively.
