PHE denies ONWJ gas supply stoppage to PLN

Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) denied on Thursday having stopped gas supply from ONWJ block to the Muara Karang power plant in Jakarta owned by state owned electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN).

?It?s not true! PHE ONWJ gas supply to PLN is running normally at the rate of 90-105 MMCFD,? spokesperson Ali Mundakir told reporters.

PLN Director Bambang Praptomo said earlier that PLN has to stop the operation of Muara Karang after PHE ONWJ stopped gas supply in the last one week.

PLN?s Corporate Communication Manager Ario Subijoko later retracted Bambang?s statement, saying that his statement was not correct and gas supply from ONWJ to PLN is running normally. (godang)
