Two consortiums have passed the first phase of tender for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract to build the Gas Processing Facility (GPF) of Jambaran-Tiung Biru (JTB) project in East Java province, according to a source.
The two consortiums are the consortium of PT Rekayasa Industri (Rekind)?PT Japan Gas Corporation (JGC)?PT JGC Indonesia and the consortium of PT Wijaya Karya (Wika) ?Chiyoda Corporation?PT Chiyoda International Indonesia.
On July 18-22, 2016, a team from PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) carried out the second phase of the tender, aimed to evaluating the commercial aspect of the bids submitted by both consortiums.
Once the commercial evaluation has been completed, the tender result will be submitted to SKK Migas for approval. The tender process is expected to be completed at the end of August.
The JTB project is expected to come onstream in the first quarter of 2019 with a production rate of 227 mmscfd of gas and a peak production of 315 mmscfd in 2019. The production will be sourced from six wells.
The Tiung Biru Jambaran field initially consisted of two fields: Tiung Biru and Jambaran. The government later decided to unitize the fields given the fact that they are located close to each other. The Tiung Biru field is located within Pertamina EP?s Cepu operations area which is adjacent to the giant Cepu oil and gas block jointly operated by ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL), a unit of ExxonMobil Indonesia, and PEPC. The Jambaran gas field is located within the Cepu block, which is operated by EMCL. EMCL and PEP agreed in September 2012 to unitize both fields with PEPC appointed as operator
