The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (ESDM) has finally completed drafting its Gas Infrastructure Roadmap, which acts as a guideline for the development of the Indonesian gas sector until 2030. The Roadmap paves the way for the development of infrastructure for oil-to-gas conversion for commercial industries and the household sector.
The conversion will be implemented by establishing new gas infrastructure, covering refinery stations for liquefied natural gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG), pipeline networks, LPG regasification terminals, gas fueling stations, and gas distribution networks for households.
One of the most ambitious projects under the Roadmap is the government’s plan to install a gas network for 5 million households by 2030. This long-term plan will be divided into several short-term plans. This staged approache provides for 1 million houses to be on the gas network by 2019, and another 3 million houses by 2025.
“The are four pilot projects for installing gas for households is Cilegon, Pekanbaru, Kutai Kertanegara, Musi Banyuasin, Batam, Muara Enim, Tuban, and Bojonegoro.The gas network will be installed for 4,000 houses in each area,” said Sudirman Said, Minister of ESDM, in Jakarta on Thursday.
In regard to CNG fueling stations, the government will establish 1,000 new stations by 2030. For the first phasein 2015, the government will initiate the establishment of 6 on-line stations, 6 mother stations, 5 daughter stations, 2 mobile refueling units (MRU), 2 eco stations, 8 gas transport modules, and 4 distribution pipelines.
Mr. Said explained that the new facilities under the roadmap will support the existing stations that were established last year by the government (2 stations and 7 MRU), PT Pertamina (2 stations), and PT Gas Negara (5 stations and 5 MRU).
“At the end of last year, we had 43 stations and 12 MRUs in total,” said Mr. Said.
Another large scale projectunder the roadmap is to broaden the distribution of gas through pipelines. By 2030 the government will establish13,000 km of open access and dedicated pipelines for the upstream gas upstream, and 4,000 km of dedicated pipelines for the downstream gas sector.
To realize the Roadmap’s objective for 2015, I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmadja, Acting Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministery of ESDM, said that the government is proposing a budget of IDR 3.5 trillion. This budget, however, is not intended to be used solely for facility establishment, as the Roadmap also requires the government to distribute 2 million 3-kg LPG canisters and 50.000 oil-to-gas converter kits to fishermen.
To accelerate the realization of the Roadmap, Mr. Wiratmadja indicated that the government will encourage PT Pertamina and PT Gas Negara to jointly contribute to the project, especially for the establishment of installed gas networks for households.
“This is because establishing CNG stations is not enough to realize the oil-to-gas conversion plan,” added Mr. Wiratmadja.
