GOVT TO BUILD FLOATING LNG TERMINALS IN N SUMATRA, JAKARTA
Jakarta, Marh 30 (ANTARA) - The government has decided to build floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals in North Sumatra and in the sea north of Jakarta, a cabinet minister said.
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said here on Monday the construction of a floating LNG terminal was the most possible option in an effort to overcome gas stock deficit in the two regions for the coming 2010-2014 term.
"After 2014, a relatively big gas stock will begin to come from East Kalimantan and the Masela Block," the minister said.
The terminal in North Sumatra will be built by publicly listed PT PGN while that in Jakarta by state-owned oil and gas company PT Petamina and state-run power firm PT PLN.
The gas supplies from the two terminals will be used to meet the need for gas of power plants and industries.
PT PGN director Hendi P Santoso said that the floating LNG terminal in North Sumatra would be built with a capacity of 150 million cubic feet per day (MCFPD).
In the meantime, the LNG terminal in Jakarta will be built with a capacity of 1.5 million tons per annum.
In the meantime, Purnomo Yusgiantoro said that the need for gas of thermal power plants (PLTGU) in Belawan, North Sumatra, could not be met by gas fields in the area, namely the Glagah Kambuna and JOB Costa.
Besides with natural gas, the government is also trying to do its best to meet the need for gas in Java with gas produced from coal methane in South Sumatra, East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan, the minister said.
PLN President Director Fahmi Mochtar said the need of PLTU for gas in Belawan, Medan, reached 130 million MCFPD, but only 20 MMSCFD had been made available.
In the meantime, the for gas of power plants in Jakarta and its surroundings, he said, reached 875 MMSCFD but gas already made available was only 550 MMSCFD.***
