In the pursuit of energy security and industrial growth, PetroChina Jabung is playing a crucial role in ensuring Indonesia’s energy future is powered by reliable and sustainable resources. A key player in this effort is the Betara Gas Plant (BGP), located in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, which stands at the forefront of Indonesia’s efforts to meet ambitious energy targets, including the government’s goal of achieving 1 million barrels of oil and 12 BSCFD (billion standard cubic feet per day) of gas.
A Robust Processing Capacity for a Sustainable Future
The Betara Gas Plant (BGP), with its impressive processing capacity of 241 MMSCFD (Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day) of raw gas, is a cornerstone in PetroChina Jabung’s ability to contribute to Indonesia’s energy supply. The plant processes 100 MMSCFD of sales gas, delivering clean and reliable gas for domestic use, and produces 26,700 barrels per day (BLPD) of natural gas liquids (NGL), an essential component for the local energy market. The plant is a vital asset, ensuring that energy needs are met efficiently and sustainably across Indonesia.
Innovative Technology and Methods for Enhanced Efficiency
PetroChina Jabung continues to innovate to improve operational efficiency and safety. The company has implemented advanced technologies such as new well drilling and seismic surveys, both of which are critical in improving exploration accuracy and gas production. Furthermore, PetroChina Jabung has adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) in its operations, particularly in drilling processes. The use of AI allows for faster, safer, and more efficient drilling, optimizing well performance and reducing risks associated with drilling operations. This technological advancement is a testament to PetroChina Jabung’s commitment to not only improving operational output but also ensuring that the process is conducted with the utmost safety and minimal environmental impact.
Reducing Carbon Footprint with Advanced CO₂ Removal Technology
One of the standout features of the BGP is its CO₂ Removal Facility, a state-of-the-art technology designed to reduce CO₂ emissions significantly. By utilizing this facility, BGP successfully lowers the CO₂ content of the gas from approximately 40% to below 5%, helping to mitigate the environmental impact of gas production. This aligns with Indonesia’s climate goals and demonstrates PetroChina Jabung’s commitment to sustainable operations and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector.
Supporting Domestic Gas Distribution for National Energy Resilience
PetroChina Jabung remains steadfast in its commitment to prioritize domestic gas distribution, ensuring that the energy requirements of Indonesia’s industries and communities are met first. This dedication to supporting domestic gas supply plays a vital role in the energy resilience of the nation. PetroChina Jabung is focused on making significant contributions to the development of the country’s energy infrastructure and economic growth by ensuring that gas resources are utilized to meet domestic demand. By doing so, PetroChina Jabung is helping Indonesia achieve its energy security goals while also supporting industrial expansion, especially in energy-intensive sectors such as manufacturing and petrochemicals.
Partnerships through Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements (GSPA)
To further strengthen its contribution to Indonesia's energy sector, PetroChina Jabung is actively engaged in Gas Sales and Purchase Agreements (GSPA). These agreements play a pivotal role in securing the distribution of gas for Indonesia's domestic market. Key GSPA agreements for mid-2024 include partnerships with PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan, PT Gemilang Jabung Energi, and PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN). These collaborations enhance the stability and sustainability of gas supplies for domestic industries, supporting Indonesia’s energy security and long-term growth.
As Indonesia continues to develop its energy sector to meet national targets, PetroChina Jabung’s Betara Gas Plant (BGP) stands as a key pillar in achieving energy security and economic growth, while remaining committed to reducing environmental impact and advancing sustainable energy practices.
