Jakarta – PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina’s Gas Subholding, recorded solid operational performance throughout 2025 with growth across all major business lines. Performance improvements were reflected in the gas transportation, oil transportation, regasification, and LPG transportation segments, each recording increased distribution volumes compared to the previous year.

This achievement was driven by the company’s consistency in strengthening pipeline network connectivity with major gas supply sources, developing integrated energy distribution infrastructure along the entire business chain, and improving service quality for customers across various industrial and commercial sectors in Indonesia.

Throughout 2025, the gas transportation business line recorded distribution volumes exceeding 1,500 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), an increase of approximately 4% compared to 2024 realisation. Meanwhile, oil transportation recorded distribution volumes exceeding 174,000 barrels per day (BOPD), representing approximately 8% growth, following increased upstream oil and gas activities and additional supplies from various production areas.

In the regasification segment, volumes reached approximately 155 billion British thermal units per day (BBTUD), an increase of approximately 6%, whilst LPG production recorded approximately 5% growth with distribution volumes exceeding 450 tonnes per day throughout 2025. Growth across all business lines affirms Pertagas’s role as an increasingly strategic midstream energy infrastructure operator supporting efficient and reliable national energy distribution.

Pertagas Chief Executive Officer Indra Sembiring stated that the company’s positive performance was also supported by expansion of the customer base across various sectors, ranging from strategic industries to household and small and medium enterprise (MSME) segments. Currently, Pertagas services reach over 60 strategic industrial customers in the electricity, fertiliser, petrochemical, oleochemical, steel, ceramics, and glass sectors, as well as over 250,000 household and MSME connections across various regions of Indonesia.

“As a midstream infrastructure company, Pertagas is committed to ensuring reliable energy supply from production sources to various strategic national sectors, ranging from power plants and industry to household energy needs,” said Indra.

He added that efficient and sustainable energy distribution is an important factor in supporting industrial operations whilst strengthening national economic competitiveness.

Currently, Pertagas operates a natural gas pipeline network spanning approximately 2,930 kilometres and crude oil transmission pipelines spanning 605 kilometres. This infrastructure serves as the backbone of energy distribution for various strategic national sectors.

The company continues to ensure operational reliability of these networks through operational system strengthening, continuous maintenance programmes, and asset management optimisation to maintain energy supply stability.

From a financial performance perspective, throughout 2025 Pertagas recorded consolidated revenue of US$861.51 million, with primary contributions from natural gas transportation and trading operations as well as crude oil transportation.

EBITDA reached US$427.46 million, representing a 15.90% increase, and net profit recorded a 21.43% increase compared to the same period last year. This reflects solid company fundamentals and efficient operations whilst prioritising operational reliability and safety.

Entering 2026, Pertagas targets improved operational performance across major business lines, with gas transportation volume reaching approximately 1,600 MMSCFD and oil transportation achieving 175,000 BOPD.

To achieve these targets, Pertagas will implement various initiatives supporting volume and customer growth. As efforts to support sustainable growth, this year’s capital expenditure is planned at approximately US$75 million for energy infrastructure development and network reliability improvements across several operational regions.

One major project under development is the construction of the 96-kilometre Cikampek-Plumpang fuel oil pipeline, expected to strengthen the national energy logistics system, reduce distribution costs, and decrease emissions from land transport in the Jakarta and West Java regions. Additionally, following completion of the LNG Arun F-6004 tank revitalisation in Aceh, Pertagas will optimise the facility’s utilisation to strengthen gas supplies to the industrial and electricity sectors whilst enhancing Indonesia’s role in regional energy networks.

“The company’s strategic initiatives in 2026 are focused on strengthening energy infrastructure, improving operational reliability, and optimising the utilisation of cleaner and more efficient energy sources. Through these measures, Pertagas seeks to create sustainable value for stakeholders whilst supporting national energy security,” said Indra.

Going forward, Pertagas is also promoting new business opportunities through increased utilisation of gas and LNG infrastructure, strengthening supply chain operational efficiency, and developing future energy sources such as hydrogen and biomethane. These initiatives are expected to strengthen the company’s energy business portfolio whilst supporting the transition towards a more sustainable energy system.

As an integrated energy infrastructure company, Pertagas is optimistic about maintaining growth momentum whilst expanding its contribution to supporting national energy security and Indonesia’s economic growth across various sectors aligned with the Government’s Asta Cita priorities.
