Located offshore Jakarta, the FSRU terminal regasifies LNG for power plant consumption while managing increasing operational complexities, including fluctuating demand, multiple LNG suppliers, and co-mingled cargoes. Structured operational excellence programs have been implemented, including robust frameworks for process safety, reliability engineering, and performance monitoring to ensure uninterrupted gas delivery.
This abstract outlines the strategic approach and innovative practices applied to maintain operational reliability. It explores key challenges and the corresponding solutions, including the adoption of digital transformation, workforce upskilling, and adherence to evolving regulatory requirements. The use of digital tools—such as real-time analytics, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring—has strengthened operational agility and enhanced resilience against disruptions stemming from geopolitical events, extreme weather, or market volatility.
Aligned with Indonesia’s roadmap toward Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the FSRU infrastructure supports clean energy access (SDG 7), resilient infrastructure (SDG 9), and climate action (SDG 13). By maintaining high operational standards and fostering collaboration across stakeholders, this model offers a scalable approach to LNG midstream operations that supports both national development and global sustainability objectives.
This case provides practical insights into how operational excellence in LNG infrastructure can enable a reliable and resilient transitional pathway in the evolving global energy landscape.
