PGE targets Flow2Max® technology installation in Philippines for June 2026

PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGEO) or PGE has visited the world’s largest wet steam field operated by Energy Development Corporation (EDC) in Leyte, Philippines.

The visit was conducted to discuss the potential for the inaugural implementation of PGE’s Flow2Max® technology at EDC’s geothermal field, with the first installation targeted for June 2026.

“We are proud to introduce PGE’s innovative superheated steam management technology to one of the world’s largest and most reputable geothermal companies. Particularly, the Philippines currently ranks third in global geothermal capacity after the United States and Indonesia,” said Mohamad Husni Mubarok, Manager of Production & Optimization Excellence at PGE, in an official statement from Jakarta on Wednesday.

Husni hopes that the application of Flow2Max® technology will support operational optimisation, improve production efficiency, and strengthen EDC’s sustainable reservoir management.

During the visit, PGE was accompanied by PT Sigma Cipta Utama (SCU), a subsidiary of PT Elnusa Tbk (ELSA), which is part of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE).

Manager of Operations, Asset Management & Optimization at PGE, Jati Permana Kurniawan, assured that the company is committed to strengthening collaboration going forward, not only through technology implementation but also through knowledge sharing and technical capability enhancement to advance the global geothermal sector.

“This step also aligns with PGE’s vision to become a world-leading geothermal producer and geothermal centre of excellence,” said Jati.

EDC expressed interest in the Flow2Max® technology because it is suited to the field’s profile and EDC’s requirements for supporting geothermal well performance optimisation.

Flow2Max® is a two-phase flow meter technology that enables real-time fluid flow monitoring, allowing operators to evaluate well performance and predict production well productivity more accurately.

The use of Flow2Max® also strengthens reservoir management and optimisation at each geothermal field, including helping to detect potential technical issues in wells at an early stage.
