By Godang Sitompul

Petrogas (Basin) Ltd, the operator of Kepala Burung PSC in West Papua province, has been assigned by the government to channel gas to state owned gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN) for city gas network in Sorong regency.

The gas supplied in a volume of 0.2 mmscfd is distributed to 3,898 houses in several districts of Sorong regency, namely Malawii, Malawele, Mariat Pantai, Klabinain and Aimas

?The utilization of gas by households is part of the government?s program of encouraging the public from kerosene to gas. The gas distribution is expected to create significant multiplier effects for the development of eastern Indonesia, particularly Sorong,? Petrogas (Basin) Ltd?s General Manager Syafri Syafr told Petromindo.com

He said the gas supply proves Petrogas? commitment to supporting the government?s city gas program.
