1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas) plans to build new pipelines to support the plan of
distribution of gas for fertilizer, where the pipeline will deliver gas sourced from Grissik
Processing Plant heading to PUSRI Plant at Palembang.
A pig launcher will install in ConocoPhillips area and power source will provide via solar-
cell. This pig launcher will design for intelligent pig. Liquid drain from pig launcher will be
collected using dedicated portable drum. Nitrogen system will provided to operate SDV
and fusible plug for fire detection. Venting will be directed to Jambi-Merang facilities,
which will be EPCI scope of work. Drains will be disposed periodically by vacuum truck.
The project location is the construction site of the new gas pipeline. Pictures of these
locations can be seen on the following map. Pipeline planned through 3 (three) route, i.e.
Right of Way (ROW) ConocoPhillips, ROW PERTAGAS and ROW Jalan Raya
Palembang-Jambi. About 70 MMSCFD gas will transfered 171 km via 20” pipeline and
LBCV will be installed along this pipeline. Nitrogen from bottle also used for SDV and
fusible plug at this area. Pipeline will protected from corrosion with cathodic protection.
Outside the fence of Pusri area there will constructed receiving facilities that consist of
Pig Receiever, Slug Catcher and Gas Metering (ultrasonic type) and Instrument Air
System. Drain from the receiving facility will be disposed periodically by vacuum truck.
Venting from this facility will be routed to safe area. The required of electrical power will
be supplied from PT PUSRI fertilizer plant.

7.2. Analysis and Recommendation

The pipeline buoyancy and stability calculation using MathCAD inhouse software for
empty/installation and operating cases for Pertagas Grissik-Pusri Project has been
performed.
The minimum required concrete thickness for 20” onshore gas pipeline from Grissik to
Pusri has been analyzed for possibility of floatation in submerged areas.
From the table above, whether the pipe is in installation condition (empty) or in operation
condition (gas filled), it requires concrete weight coating to overcome buoyancy and keep
the pipeline sinking. The selected concrete thickness is 40mm to satisfy all condition and
common concrete manufacturing practice.
The majority of the area that potentially need concrete coating area are swampy area
and rice paddy field where these two area tend to be floody when rain is pouring down.
