Upstream Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Syamsu Alam estimate new Matindok be operational in 2017.

According to the plan, the project will produce 65 MMSCFD of gas and 500 bpd of oil was constrained due to delays in the planning phase of construction (construction phase plan / CPP) by a consortium of contractors.

Deputy Special Operations Control Unit The Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas), Muliawan, said of the 13 projects, the remaining two projects that have not been able to operate in 2016. As for the project as Wasambo, South Sulawesi (Energy Equity Epic Sengkang) and Matindok, Central Sulawesi (PT Pertamina EP) has not been able to produce oil and gas in 2016.

He called Wasambo targeted projects operating in the third quarter / 2016 was pushed back because of the readiness of production facilities.

As a result, Wasambo which will supply gas to South Sumatra, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG SS) pending and should receive a replacement supply. SS LNG, he said, get a supply from Bontang during Wasambo not produce gas.

Wasambo itself which is projected to produce gas by 80 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) became operational in the first quarter / 2017. Thus, today, need to adjust prices again due to the delay time of operation of the project.
