Abstract
The high demand for natural gas in East Java, around 328 million cubic feet per day, and the growth in gas consumption, particularly for industries in Surabaya, Gresik, Sidoarjo, Mojokerto, Pasuruan, and Probolinggo, represent a promising business opportunity. It is no surprise that many players have entered the natural gas business. These players include PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk, PT Surya Citra Internusa, PT Sadikun Niaga Mas Raya, PT Bayu Buana Gemilang, PT Java Gas Indonesia, and PT Walinusa Energi. These competitive conditions make distribution very important. PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk SBU Distribution Region II (PGN SBU DW II) must manage natural gas distribution effectively, including implementing cost efficiency and increasing productivity to become a component of competitive advantage and to compete effectively. According to Biederman et al (2007, 9), researchers from the American Gas Foundation (AGF) stated that the management priorities for natural gas distribution and transmission include safety and environmental stewardship, reliability, system integrity, and cost control & productivity enhancement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the management priorities in natural gas distribution at PT PGN (Persero) Tbk SBU Distribution Region II. This study evaluated the management of four gas distribution management priorities by PGN SBU DW II, which include: Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), Reliability, System Integrity, and Cost Control & Productivity Enhancement. The results of the evaluation indicate weaknesses in its implementation. These criteria are in the field of HSE, HSE management system audits that have not been carried out, management of change that has not been consistently implemented, the absence of HSE competency mapping and questionnaires for all workers. In the reliability criterion, the measurement is only limited to the duration of unplanned breakdowns. In the integrity criterion, risk mitigation and integrity assessment have not been integrated with network inspection activities and there has been no evaluation of the effectiveness of the Integrity Management program. Regarding the Cost Control & Productivity Enhancement criteria, PGN SBU DW II has not yet conducted productivity measurements. PGN SBU DW II must improve these weak criteria to improve the management of these four distribution management priorities.
