Expanding Internationally, PGE Explores Geothermal Technology in the Philippines
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE) has begun a series of global roadshows by exploring the application of Flow2Max technology at the geothermal field owned by Energy Development Corporation (EDC) in the Philippines. This is aimed at opening up new sources of revenue through the commercialisation of innovation.
PGE visited EDC’s wet steam field, the largest in the world, in Leyte, Philippines, to discuss the implementation of the Flow2Max technology innovation. This is also an effort by the company to strengthen the global geothermal development services ecosystem.
PGE’s Manager of Production & Optimization Excellence, Mohamad Husni Mubarok, explained that the visit aimed to expand international collaboration and the implementation of PGE’s technology. He appreciated the positive response from EDC, which he said has a great reputation in the global geothermal industry.
“We are proud to introduce PGE’s superheated steam management technology innovation to one of the largest and most reputable geothermal companies in the world. Moreover, the Philippines is currently ranked third in the world in terms of geothermal capacity after the United States and Indonesia,” said Mohamad Husni in the company’s information disclosure, Wednesday (25/2/2026).
During the meeting, both parties discussed technical aspects and price negotiations before entering the manufacturing stage.
The Flow2Max technology is a two-phase flow meter that monitors fluid flow in real-time to predict well productivity more accurately. The initial installation of this technology at EDC’s field is targeted for completion in June 2026.
“We hope that the implementation of Flow2Max technology can support operational optimisation, increase production efficiency, and strengthen EDC’s sustainable reservoir management,” added Mohamad Husni.
PGE has partnered with PT Sigma Cipta Utama (SCU), a subsidiary of PT Elnusa Tbk, in this business visit.
On the other hand, EDC’s Head of Geothermal Technology and Innovation, Erlindo Angcoy Jr., expressed his interest because the technology is considered suitable for optimising the performance of geothermal wells in their fields.
Meanwhile, PGE’s Manager of Operations, Asset Management & Optimisation, Jati Permana Kurniawan, reaffirmed the company’s long-term commitment to continue driving progress in this sector. This collaboration is expected to include not only the implementation of the technology but also the exchange of technical knowledge.
“In the future, we are committed to strengthening this collaboration, not only through the implementation of technology but also through the exchange of knowledge and the strengthening of technical capabilities to drive progress in the geothermal sector at the global level,” concluded Jati.
