Indonesia Inaugurates Mini LNG Plant in Tuban

Indonesia's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, inaugurated a Mini LNG Plant in Tuban, East Java, owned by PT Sumber Aneka Gas (SAG). The facility is set to bolster the nation's energy security and self-sufficiency, aligning with President Prabowo Subianto's "Asta Cita" goals.

Minister Lahadalia highlighted the plant's concrete contribution to increasing the value of domestic natural gas and decreasing reliance on imported LPG. "I see this as a real work by a company to meet our domestic needs. Moreover, it produces LNG, LPG, condensate, and also CNG," he stated.

The Mini LNG Plant processes gas from the Sumber Field, managed by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Tuban East Java, with a daily allocation of 15 million cubic feet until 2035. The plant has a maximum LNG production capacity equivalent to 55,300 tons per year and can produce up to 9,800 tons of LPG annually, along with condensate and liquid CO2.

All products will be absorbed by industrial, retail, and power generation sectors across Java, Bali, and Sulawesi. The plant's infrastructure supports land-based LNG supply chains. Minister Lahadalia urged Pertamina to ensure a continuous gas supply until the contract ends in 2035, emphasizing the importance of supply certainty for investor confidence.
