PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) is optimistic that the Jambaran-Tiung Biru unitization project can be completed on time and operational in mid-2021. Although the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) sees no indication of delays in the execution of this project.

PEPC Managing Director Jamsaton said, his party understood SKK Migas' concerns regarding the potential pullback of the JTB Project. The reason is SKK Migas could have estimated the assumption of the worst scenario considering the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the work of national oil and gas projects.
He admitted, there were several obstacles in the work of the JTB Project which indeed had the potential to cause delays. But it is trying to innovate to minimize the potential for these delays.

"Namely by adjusting construction schedules and materials on site but by maintaining the onstream target in July 2021," Jamsaton said.
Jamsaton explained the obstacle faced was the limited workforce of experts who were willing to work in the field due to fears of contracting the Covid-19 Virus. Then, there are limitations to the mobilization of workers due to the enactment of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) as prevention of the spread of the virus. The quarantine period imposed by the Bojonegoro Regency Government also reduced the effective working days.
"These three things cause the workforce needs in the field are not optimal so they cannot do construction speed-ups," he said.
Not only that, the process of manufacturing goods in several countries stalled due to lockdowns imposed in those countries. In a country that does not run a lockdown, the manufacturing process is slow due to restrictions on working hours and transportation of materials including manufacturing in Indonesia.
