REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- State owned oil and gas company, PT Pertamina inagurated a gas project in Cepu, East Java and also three other projects in Blora, Central Java. President Director of Pertamina, Karen Agustiawan said that Cepu project was part of Gundih project from Kedungtuban structure, Randublatung and Kedunglusi in Blora.

Gundih gas block is currently producing 50 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd). It will be distributed as fuel in Tambak Lorok power plant.

"There is a potential saving worth 21.4 trillion IDR with the use of gas as fuel for power plant," Agustiawan said on Friday.

This project also opens a large employer for 1,700 people with 65 percent of local residents. This project also provides its own value through the presence of 'Satu Central Processing Plant Gundih,' which is a green plant as it is designed with the use of gas and reduce emissions. This is consistent with Pertamina's concern to continue to improve the environment in every aspect of management of company's operations.

Pertamina also reflagged a Petronas gas station in Kalimalang, East Jakarta into COCO gas station. Previously, the company has also been succesful in acquiring foreign gas stations in Sumatra and Java. This is to support the achievement of 557 COCO & CODO gas stations in 2016, as well as to strengthen Pertamina's position in supply of domestic fuel that continues to maintain its position as the host in this country.
