Gas for Duri steamflood

DENVER (Dow Jones): Gulf Indonesia Resources Ltd. (GRL), Talisman (Corridor) Ltd. and Pertamina (Indonesia) said gas deliveries have begun at the Corridor Gas Project to the Duri steamflood project in central Sumatra.

In a news release, Gulf Indonesia said natural gas is being delivered through a 544-kilometer, or about 340-mile, pipeline constructed and operated by PT Perusahaan Gas Negara, the Indonesian state gas distribution/transmission company.

The Duri project is operated by PT Caltex Pacific Indonesia.

Gulf Indonesia said that by the end of the year, the Corridor Gas Project should produce about 300 million cubic feet a day of sales gas, displacing about 48,000 barrels a day of crude oil currently being used to generate steam at Duri, the largest steamflood project in the world.
