JAKARTA - With the support from the government, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) has again received additional supplies to meet domestic natural gas needs. PGN agreed on two strategic agreements, namely Domestic Swap Agreement and Gas Sales Agreement with West Natuna Group.
These two agreements regulate a number of gas volumes that were previously flowed to Singapore from the West Natuna Group, which PGN will transfer and utilize to meet domestic needs. PGN President Director Arief S. Handoko represented PGN to sign the agreement to coincide with the IPA Convex 2025 event, Wednesday, May 21.
The government's support for the fulfillment of domestic natural gas continues to be sustainable. After the signing of the swap agreement gas, PGN means that it will get a new gas supply with a volume of more than 71.83 BBTUD which has been secured through the signing of 6 cooperation yesterday.
The signing of the swap agreement gas also shows the spirit of implementing the direction given by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto.
"Let's work together on collaboration, domestic private parties, foreign private sector, BUMN, government of all levels. Let's work together to achieve the goals that must be achieved. If we depend on the imports, the resources we spend are very large," Prabowo said in his remarks during the Signal Ceremony of New Production Sharing Contracts and Commercial Agreements at IPA Convex 2025.
According to the Head of SKK Migas Djoko Siswanto, the transfer or domestic gas swap was carried out at the same time, as a concrete step to overcome the potential challenges of domestic supply deficits. So far, imports can still be avoided, so the government has prepared an agreement gas swap mechanism with gas suppliers from the Natuna region.
