Pertamina appoints ABL to Cilacap refinery unit RU IV
Pt. Kilang Pertamina Internasional has appointed ABL's asset integrity management unit to further enhance asset management at the Indonesian national energy company's Cilacap Refinery Unit IV, located in Central Java, Indonesia.
The Cilacap Refinery Unit IV (RU IV) is one of the largest oil refineries in Indonesia. It plays a critical role in meeting domestic fuel and petrochemical needs. RU IV processes crude oil into various petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). In addition to fuel products, RU IV produces asphalt, petrochemicals, and other byproducts essential for industrial applications.
As part of its modernisation of RU IV, Pertamina has embarked on a programme to improve the management of the refinery unit's 85,000+ assets, and implement a maintenance master data improvement project as the initial step. The project's primary objective is to ensure that all maintainable items are correctly identified and accurately classified, with maintenance and assurance activities fully defined and ratified for the update of Pertamina's computerised maintenance management system (CMMS).
ABL's scope of work for the project involves conducting a physical asset verification of the facility and updating its entire asset register. ABL will also conduct an equipment criticality assessment and SCE (safety critical elements) identification, define and assign maintenance strategies and optimise maintenance plans for all maintainable items and packages.
"Securing our first project with Pertamina's RU IV maintenance master data improvement initiative is a significant milestone for us. We are proud to support one of Indonesia's most vital refineries by leveraging our expertise. Using our proprietary Effio and ePAV software, ABL will assist Pertamina on its journey to enhance asset management practices, drive efficiency and ensure reliability across its RU IV facility,"
says David Heavey, ABL's Asia Pacific regional director of asset integrity management.
ABL's operations in Indonesia and Australia will lead the project, with support from ABL's asset integrity management and software specialists in Aberdeen.
The project is expected to be completed in September 2025.
"This project is highly significant for us at PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional Refinery Unit IV Cilacap as we are currently focused on strengthening our Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS). With the expertise and support from the ABL team, we look forward to adopting a more advanced and differentiated approach to asset management. This initiative is expected to enhance the reliability of our refinery and support the achievement of our operational targets."
