PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) and PT Rekayasa Industries believe the US $ 1.53 billion Jambaran-Tiung Biru (JTB) project could be streamed in July 2021 despite being delayed. The JBT project, a national strategic project, has a gas production capacity of 192 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd), which will supply gas to consumers using the Gresik-Semarang gas pipeline. Later, gas supply from the JTb project is expected to overcome the gas supply deficit in 19 industrial sectors in Central and East Java.

He revealed that the 0.4% delay was due to weather factors which had become an obstacle in the project. However, a number of strategies have been prepared, one of which is by bringing in automatic welding machines that can be used indoors so that the project can be carried out.
In addition, it has mobilized a number of workers to work at night shifts. Meanwhile, in the next 2 months, about 500-1,000 workers will be added. It will also use a number of water pumps to suck up rainwater so as not to cause flooding on the project site.
"The addition of workers was in accordance with the initial schedule plan, so it was not due to minus 0.4. That's normal in the project category, indeed the plan will increase. "
Meanwhile, when the corona outbreak broke out, Jamsaton made sure it would not affect the amount of material and equipment needed for the project. According to him, most of the company's orders have been made before the outbreak of the virus.
"In several other countries, there are also corona issues, we have taken steps, that our inspectors use inspectors worldwide. So, in general, there are no more issues watching in these countries, "he explained.
On the other hand, Managing Director of Industrial Engineering Yanuar Budinorman said that the coordination in the work of the JTB project with Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) at this time was very good. In addition, all workers who were empowered in the project were all Indonesian citizens so that they were not affected by the issue of the spread of the coronavirus.
