PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN), as Pertamina\u2019s Gas\nSubholding, together with its subsidiary PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas), is\nstrengthening the foundation of national energy business and\ninfrastructure through the commissioning of the Cirebon\u2013Semarang II\n(CISEM II) gas transmission pipeline metering system. This milestone\nsignifies the full operational readiness of the National Strategic\nProject (PSN) in connecting the natural gas network from East Java to\nWest Java.<\/p>\n
Together with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM),\nPGN and Pertagas conducted the ceremonial commissioning of the KHT\nMetering and CISEM II Gas Transmission System integration with the West\nJava transmission system at Kandang Haur Timur (KHT) on Saturday\n(6\/6).<\/p>\n
This commissioning marks an important milestone in strengthening\nnational gas network connectivity, particularly to support the\nintegration of the transmission system from East Java to West Java. The\nCISEM II pipeline is considered strategic for improving the reliability\nof gas distribution, strengthening national energy security, and\nsupporting sustainable industrial and economic growth.<\/p>\n
The event was attended by the Director General of Oil and Gas Laode\nSulaeman, Head of the Finance Bureau of the Ministry of ESDM Ari Gemini,\nInspector IV of the Ministry of ESDM Bambang Utoro, Director of Oil and\nGas Infrastructure Planning and Development Agung Kuswardono, PGN\nCommercial Director Aldiansyah Idham, Pertagas President Director Indra\nP. Sembiring, Head of the Oil and Gas Testing Centre (LEMIGAS), and\nrepresentatives from the KSO Timas\u2013Pratiwi as the contractor for the\nCISEM II construction.<\/p>\n
The 242-kilometre CISEM II pipeline connects to the CISEM I pipeline,\nwhich has been operating from Semarang to Batang. The main commissioning\nphase of CISEM II at Kandang Haur was successfully carried out on Friday\n(5\/6). All facility testing stages and flow tests were conducted to\nensure good system performance as part of verifying full operational\nreadiness of CISEM II until it connects with Pertagas\u2019s existing\noperating facilities.<\/p>\n
Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of ESDM, Laode\nSulaeman, stated that the commissioning of CISEM II is a significant\nachievement in national energy infrastructure development. \u201cFollowing\nthe success of CISEM I, today we witness the commissioning of CISEM II,\nwhich completes the gas pipeline connectivity on Java Island. This\ninfrastructure strengthens national energy security and enhances the\nsystem\u2019s capability to distribute gas to various regions and user\nsectors. We appreciate all parties who have collaborated so that this\nstrategic project can be completed and operated properly,\u201d said\nLaode.<\/p>\n
In this project, Pertagas was officially designated by the Ministry\nof ESDM as the operator of CISEM II through a partner selection process\nconducted by LEMIGAS in April 2026, continuing a similar role as the\noperator of the CISEM I Pipeline since 2023. PGN Group fully supports\nthe commissioning process along with the technical operations, including\nline checks, valve opening, pressure monitoring, dynamic test stream\nmetering, and verifying system readiness at the KHT Metering\nStation.<\/p>\n
PGN Commercial Director Aldiansyah Idham said that the successful\ncommissioning of CISEM II demonstrates PGN Group\u2019s commitment to\nmaintaining the sustainability of the national gas business through\ninfrastructure strengthening and optimisation of domestic energy\nutilisation. This success is the result of synergy among all\nstakeholders in supporting the optimisation of domestic gas use. \u201cThe\nMetering System commissioning at Kandang Haur Timur is an important part\ntowards fully optimising the utilisation of CISEM II infrastructure,\nthereby providing better flexibility and reliability for the national\ngas transmission system,\u201d said Aldiansyah.<\/p>\n
Pertamina Gas President Director, Indra P. Sembiring, confirmed the\nfull operational readiness of the CISEM II system. \u201cWith the completion\nof commissioning at Kandang Haur Timur, the CISEM II system is ready to\noperate and becomes an important part of the national gas transmission\nnetwork, now connected from East Java to West Java. Pertagas has\nprepared facilities, infrastructure, and personnel spread from East Java\nto West Java to ensure the operation of this infrastructure runs safely,\nreliably, and optimally,\u201d said Indra.<\/p>\n
Collaboration between PGN, Pertagas, the Directorate General of Oil\nand Gas, LEMIGAS, and all stakeholders was key to successfully resolving\nvarious technical and operational challenges during the commissioning\nprocess.<\/p>\n
The successful development of gas transmission infrastructure such as\nCISEM II demonstrates PGN Group\u2019s ability to strengthen its long-term\nbusiness fundamentals through the development of strategic assets that\nsupport growing domestic gas demand. Strengthening the national energy\ninfrastructure also serves as a positive indicator of PGN Group\u2019s\nbusiness sustainability amid global energy dynamics.<\/p>\n
With increasingly reliable and integrated infrastructure support, PGN\nis optimistic about maintaining operational performance growth and\ncreating sustainable added value for shareholders and investors.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/cisem-ii-officially-operational-pgn-group-strengthens-national-gas-infrastructure-connectivity-1780991483", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
