Keep The Reliability Of Earth Gas Supply, PGN With PIS Synergized Utilization Of LNG Transportation Modes

PT PGN Tbk as Subholding Gas and PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) collaborated in cooperation with Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) transportation using the LNG cargo ship from the Bontang LNG Terminal to maintain the reliability of natural gas supply. LNG from Bontang was transported by ship with a charged quantity of about 138 thousand m3 to the LNG of the Lampung FSRT Terminal.

PGN Director of Sales and Operations Faris Aziz revealed that in the near future, LNG from Bontang will be distributed to support the supply of gas for PHR due to the turn Around (TAR) of PHE Jambi Merang for 10 days. PGN helps provide gas sourced by 40,000 m3.

"With this LNG supply from Bontang, PGN's natural gas supply reliability to customers is increasingly maintained. This collaboration is also proof of the successful transformation of Oil and Gas Holding through the collaboration of PGN subholding gas and PIS as Subholding Integrated Marine Logistics to maintain Pertamina Hulu Rokan's production, so that the solution for providing domestic energy within the Pertamina Group is increasingly reliable," said Faris, Thursday, October 20.

Furthermore, Faris explained that the provision of LNG Cargo ships provided by PIS is an important activity in meeting gas needs to Pertamina Hulu Rokan and a manifestation of efforts to fulfill energy with a virtual pipeline scheme.

PIS will serve PGN as best as possible so that PGN's natural gas services can run well. In addition, PIS also serves the Nusantara Regas with competitive services both in terms of service and price," said PIS' Director of Human Resources and Business Supporting, Surya Tri Harto.

PGN has also carried out a mandate from Pertamina's Oil and Gas Holding to manage Pertamina's final to end LNG utilization. Thus, the purchase of LNG directly from PGN for PHR grows important milestones in the LNG Gas Subholding business.

"PGN and PIS synergies in this activity are expected to provide benefits for each and provide natural gas to customers, as well as make a positive contribution to Pertamina Group's development in providing energy for the country," concluded Faris.
