The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) does not deny that there is a potential delay of the Tangguh Train 3 project by BP Berau Ltd due to the corona pandemic. For this reason, SKK Migas is ready to oversee the sustainability of this 3.8 million ton per year (MTPA) project.
SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno said that in fact the project is still ongoing, especially in vital works. Nevertheless, the number of manpower and equipment logistics support is said to be an obstacle.
"Activities that enter the critical construction stage are still ongoing when there are limited personnel and supporting equipment because there are restrictions on the number of workers and physical distancing," explained Julius.

At present, the Tangguh Train 3 project is entering the peak of the construction phase. The procurement of equipment is considered not so constrained. Because most of the tools needed have been brought to the project site. To be sure, the reduction in the number of workers has a major effect on the progress of completing construction
"The total workforce reached 13,000 last week, down to 10,000 and will continue to drop to 3,000 for core jobs, Julius said.
Nevertheless, he ensured that intensive coordination continued between the Cooperation Contract Contractor (KKKS) and SKK Migas. In the face of existing limitations, SKK Migas seeks to ensure that this project can remain on-line as targeted in the third quarter of 2021.
"Of course there will be negative impacts and there is the potential to be somewhat backward. While we anticipate and pay close attention, coordination has been very intensive," said Julius.
