PGN and Oil and Gas Directorate General Strengthen Synergy on Gas Infrastructure Safety

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) is enhancing its oil and gas safety implementation to ensure the reliability of Indonesia's national gas infrastructure. This effort involves strengthening synergy with the Directorate General of Oil and Gas (Ditjen Migas) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, driven by the increasing demand for secure and sustainable energy supplies.

Joko Hadi Wibowo, Director of Technical and Oil and Gas Safety at Ditjen Migas, highlighted that safety is a primary pillar supporting national energy resilience. He stressed that implementing the Oil and Gas Safety Management System (SMKM), fostering a safety culture, achieving zero unplanned shutdowns, and improving installation reliability are crucial for maintaining energy supply continuity. "Safety is the main foundation in carrying out oil and gas business activities. Consistent implementation of the Oil and Gas Safety Management System (SMKM) and strengthening the safety culture are key to protecting workers, the community, and the environment, while also ensuring installation reliability and the sustainability of the national energy supply. Synergy between regulators and business entities needs to be continuously strengthened so that a safety culture becomes an integral part of every operational activity," Joko stated.
