Cilamaya LPG plant opens with 160 metric tonnes of daily capacity
The project in Karawang, West Java, has an investment value of US$36 million, or Rp644.5 billion, and is owned by PT Energi Nusantara Perkasa.
Indonesia’s Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia inaugurated the Cilamaya liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plant in Karawang, West Java, on 15 October 2026. The facility has production capacity of 160 metric tonnes a day, equivalent to 52,800 tonnes a year.
PT Energi Nusantara Perkasa owns the plant and worked with PT Euroasiatic Jaya on the project. Energi Nusantara Perkasa president director Sarjono put the investment at US$36 million, comprising US$24 million in asset value and US$12 million for relocation.
Bahlil said the facility could supply 10 per cent of LPG consumption in West Java and Jakarta, where daily demand is approximately 1,000–1,500 tonnes. He said Indonesia still imports 7 million–8 million tonnes of LPG annually to meet its needs.
Sarjono said the facility was designed with installed capacity of 40 MMSCF and a 10 per cent design allowance, taking its maximum capacity to about 44 MMSCF. Condensate output was given as 320 BBL, equivalent to 105,600 barrels a year.
The plant combines mechanical refrigeration and turbo-expander technology, Sarjono said. He said the combination was intended to increase the recovery yield from LPG extraction.
