        "summary": "Pertamina EP has introduced QORD TECH, a diagnostic technology for gas metering systems, which reduces measurement errors from 0.8-0.9% to 0.1%, generating Rp25.2 billion in added value through increased revenue and cost savings. The innovation, part of the company\u2019s digitalisation drive, has earned internal recognition and a Platinum Award at the Upstream Improvement & Innovation Award 2025.",
        "content": "<p>PT Pertamina EP is developing the QORD TECH (Quadrant Orifice Meter\nDiagnostic Technology) innovation to enhance operational reliability in\nupstream oil and gas, particularly in gas metering systems. The\ntechnology is a diagnostic analysis system designed to detect internal\nconditions of gas metering components without requiring equipment\ndisassembly. At the Oil &amp; Gas Transportation (OGT) Field, Pertamina\nEP Zone 7 distributes gas to 43 consumer points with a daily product\nvalue of US$926.79. Through a sensor-based analysis and system modelling\napproach, the technology assists operators and technicians in detecting\ninternal component conditions that are not directly visible. QORD TECH\nwas developed to support the company\u2019s digitalisation and innovation in\noperations, while also enhancing gas measurement reliability in line\nwith oil and gas industry standards. In implementation, the technology\nsuccessfully reduced orifice gas metering error rates from 0.8% to 0.9%\nto near-normal levels of 0.1%. In addition to improving measurement\naccuracy, the innovation generated added value through a company revenue\nincrease of Rp23.8 billion and cost savings of Rp1.4 billion. This\nbrings the total added value to Rp25.2 billion. The development of QORD\nTECH involved multiple stages, including gas metering system analysis\nand modelling, sensor and supporting component assembly, and calibration\nof each sensor to ensure system reliability and optimal performance.\n\u2018QORD TECH was developed to assist in gas metering diagnostics, enabling\nfaster, more accurate processes without equipment disassembly. This\ninnovation not only enhances metering system reliability but also adds\nvalue through improved operational efficiency and company performance\noptimisation,\u2019 said Kuwat in a statement on Tuesday, 26 May 2026. QORD\nTECH has also received internal recognition through the Technical\nGuideline for the Use of Portable QORD TECH \u2013 Quadrant Orifice Meter\nDiagnostic Technology, with reference number TKPA\nNo.\u00a0D04-014\/PEP80000\/2025-S9. Furthermore, the innovation won a Platinum\nAward in the Best Project Collaboration category at the Upstream\nImprovement &amp; Innovation Award 2025.<\/p>",
