Yogyakarta- PT Pertamina Hulu Indonesia (PHI) and its affiliate, part of Zona 10, JOB Simenggaris, won the Platinum award at the CIP Presentation Forum Upstream Improvement & Innovation Awards (UIIA) 2024. The event was held in Yogyakarta from December 11 to 13, 2024. PC Prove "Kereta Kencana Bangun Perkasa” (PC Prove KKBP) achieved the award.

The UIIA, an annual initiative by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), aims to encourage and honor innovative efforts by upstream oil and gas companies within Pertamina's ecosystem. This year marked the 12th implementation, themed "Driving Impactful Change through Innovation & Replication for Sustainable Business."

PC Prove KKBP introduced groundbreaking innovations in commercializing Simenggaris condensate by blending it with Bunyu Crude, utilizing Indonesia's first upstream condensate barging system. The initiative involved modifying condensate transport vessels with nitrogen (N2) blanketing technology, adjusting pipelines, and developing dedicated jetty terminals.

In summary, PC Prove KKBP modified the condensate export pipeline, renovated the jetty, converted the SPOB Jober from diesel transport to condensate, and implemented N2 Blanketing as a disaster prevention system. These measures maximized condensate sales revenue for PHE Simenggaris compared to previous sales schemes.

General Manager of Zona 10, Pertamina Subholding Upstream, Yoseph Agung Prihartono, expressed his gratitude for the accomplishment. "We are truly honored by this recognition received by PHI and JOB Simenggaris. This is the result of excellent collaboration and the hard work of the team who continuously innovate and are committed to delivering the best," said Yoseph.

The UIIA awards were judged based on several criteria, including measurable impacts, cost efficiency, contributions to productivity, and workplace safety.

This award further solidifies PHI and JOB Simenggaris as leaders in innovation within the upstream oil and gas industry. The achievement is expected to foster stronger collaboration between companies and enhance contributions to Indonesia's energy industry's sustainability.
