PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ), a subsidiary of the state-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina, said that the Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) project at the GG gas field in the ONWJ bloc, offshore West Java, is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
"We signed the EPCI contract on 22 August with EPCI contractor Meindo-Swibber to start works on the GG field development project," Executive Vice President/General Manager of PHE ONWJ told Petromindo on Tuesday.
The GG field is located 30 km off the northern coast of Cirebon.
The scope of the EPCI project includes the development of the GGA offshore platform and one Onshore Processing Facility (OPF) in Balongan area. Both facilities are connected by a 35-km subsea pipeline. PHE ONW, the operator of the OWNJ block, had earlier said.
The GG field project includes the drilling of three wells, which combined will produce 33 mmscfd of gas. Based on the Plan of Development (PoD), a total of US$152 million will be invested for the drilling and the construction of gas transmission facilities. After being processed at the Balongan OPF, the gas will be processed by Pertamina into LPG to meet the needs of the public and strategic industries around Indramayu regency in West Java.
