LNG Receiving Terminals

Two state-owned companies, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGAS) Tbk and Pertamina, decided not to join forces in the construction of two LNG receiving terminals, Detik.com reported. 

Pertamina CEO Karen Agustiawan said Pertamina will build the West Java LNG Terminal, while PGN will build the North Sumatra terminal. Initially, both companies agreed, based on the heads of agreement signed in April 17, 2009, to establish a consortium to build the LNG terminals. In fact, state-owned electricity company PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) also wanted to participate in the consortium.

Agustiawan said the West Java terminal will have installed capacity of 200-400 MMSCFD (equals to up to 3 million tons per year), while in North Sumatra with 100-150 MMSCFD. The West Java Terminal is designed to support two combined cycle power plants (Tanjung Priok and Muara Karang).

In East Java, PT Indogas Kriya Dwiguna, a subsidiary of PT Prime Petroservices, has also launched a plan to build LNG receiving terminals in Pesanggaran and Gilimanuk.
