JAKARTA - Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto is optimistic that Indonesia can achieve the target of 12 billion cubic feet of gas per day by 2030.

He said he was optimistic because during the pandemic, KKKS found many giant gas fields. This is different from oil production which continues to experience declines from year to year.

"But our gas is optimistic because after the pandemic exploration time we find large gas reserves and become a project that Alhamdulillah KKKS good ENI, Mubadala both have the determination to accelerate the onstream gas production," said Dwi at the Leaders Forum event, Wednesday, September 11.

Dwi said, for several years his party has managed to contain the rate of decreasing gas lines, even recording an increase or incline of 2 percent. He also said that the decline rate would not occur if production infrastructure development could be carried out more quickly.

"We are very confident that the incline prod gas will be very good going forward with big projects like the North Gang, Abadi Masela and later in Andaman we are sure for the achievement of 2030-2031 12 BCF," he continued.

With so many large projects, he believes Indonesia will experience excess gas in 2035.

Furthermore, Dwi said that currently Indonesia's gas production has increased by 20 percent and needs to be supported by gas transportation infrastructure.

Moreover, he said, currently the East Java region is currently experiencing an excess gas supply of up to 150 million cubic feet per day but cannot flow because Cirebon-Semarang is still under construction.

"One more thing, we also have excess gas, there are 100 million cubic feet per day that can be distributed. There are small pieces of pipes that are not connected yet, this is what we are after," he concluded.
