JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo has inaugurated the Pryek Tangguh Train 3 in Teluk Bintuni Regency, West Papua Province.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif said the next phase of the Tough Project was the Ubadari CCUS (UCC) Project.

This project is the most advanced CCS project and will be the first CCS Hub in Indonesia, with a potential CO2 storage capacity of up to 1.8 GT.

"In addition to producing additional gas production, this project will inject around 30 million tons of CO2 until 2035 to existing reservoirs," Arifin said in a statement to the media, Saturday, November 25.

The next project that will also be built is the Downstream Natural Gas into low carbon ammonia with a planned production of 875,000 tonnes per year Blue busyia, which will be used for co-firing at power plants and also at steel factories.

Another important project is the Smoke Gas Field, Kido, Merah. This project will produce gas reserves (Gross) of 2,244.45 BSCF and condensate production of 5.4 MMSTB. The total investment value of this project is 3.37 billion US dollars.

"These downstream projects represent the resilience or resilience of Indonesia's upstream oil and gas industry in carrying out its duties in the midst of dynamics and challenges both globally and nationally," said Arifin.

Meanwhile, Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said that his full operation of Tangguh Train 3 will increase national gas production and strengthen the role of the upstream oil and gas industry in the energy transition era to support sustainable development.

"It is hoped that Train 3 will be able to operate full capacity in early December so that it will further strengthen the national gas balance and support domestic needs", he said.

Furthermore, Dwi said, Tangguh Train 3 can be said to be the work of the nation's children, built and operated by domestic human resources, which pays great attention to local workers.
