Gundih project has yet to produce at full capacity

By Bernard Loebs

The Gundih field gas project owned by PT Pertamina EP in Sumber village, Kradenan district, Blora regency, Central Java has yet to come to full capacity production.

The project is now producing at 70 percent of its capacity because some production instruments have not yet performed maximally, PEP?s President Director Adriansyah said on Wednesday, without providing details.

PEP started supplying gas from Gundih to PLTGU Tambak Lorok power plant owned by public utility PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) in the province?s capital of Semarang in the middle of last year. At present, the field produces 38 mmscfd, compared to the initial plan of 50 mmscfd.

?We are working to bring all instruments into optimum performance,? Adriansyah said.
