The PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) group is committed to providing the best support for the Oil and Gas Holding of PT Pertamina (Persero) so that the transition process for the management of the Rokan Block runs smoothly and can increase the achievement of financing efficiency. This was done through the implementation of the Rokan Oil Pipe National Strategic Project (PSN).
In the construction of the Rokan Oil Transmission Pipe, PGN is targeting to have a positive impact on regional development. This is because the development of this national strategic project involves more than 60% of the scope of construction and local manpower.
"With the development that involves local resources, it is hoped that the multiplier effect will be able to contribute significantly to increasing human resource capacity and transfer of knowledge in the regions," said PGN President Director Suko Hartono.
According to Suko, empowering local entrepreneurs and workers also supports the economic empowerment of local communities during times of crisis. Then the knowledge transfer that is expected to occur can provide benefits in human resource management, especially in the aspects of technological and commercial understanding in the construction of the Rokan Oil Pipe.
"The construction of the Rokan Oil Pipeline Project is a strategic project that is full of risks and costs a lot, so it requires increased mastery of technology and a good understanding of the commercial aspects. These two aspects are the main benchmarks so that the results can be optimal and provide broad benefits, "added Suko.
Through PT Pertagas as the executor of the construction, cooperation has been made in the procurement of steel pipe material for the Rokan Oil Pipe with PT Krakatau Steel. From this collaboration, it is targeted to reduce the cost of material procurement by 16% and provide added value to the domestic steel industry because it is an effort to increase the use of domestic products (P3DN).
"In principle, the construction of the Rokan Oil Pipe is an effort to boost efficiency in the energy budget in Indonesia, in line with the government's efforts to reduce oil imports. "With a Capex value (capital expenditure) of US $ 300 million, the efficiency optimization obtained is the US $ 150 million or around Rp 2.1 trillion, because the initial Capex allocation value was the US $ 450 million," said Suko.
This project was built to maintain the resilience of energy production after transferring the management of the Rokan Hulu Block from PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) in 2021.
"The PGN group as Pertamina's Subholding Gas is committed to being part of the solution for national energy fulfillment. With our competence in developing oil and gas infrastructure and distributing energy both natural gas to all sectors, we strive to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of all energy supply chains. In addition, the implementation of investment operations is always aimed at moving the wheels of the regional and national economy, especially in a very challenging period during the current pandemic economic recovery, "said Suko.
