PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk (MedcoEnergi) has strengthened its efforts to reduce emissions by implementing nitrogen gas blanketing on storage tanks at its oil and gas facility in Suban, Corridor Block, South Sumatra (03/02).

This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to more efficient and responsible operations aligned with global climate goals.

Estimated 1,100 tCO₂e Reduction Highlights Operational Efficiency

The nitrogen gas blanketing system is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 1,100 tCO₂e per year, mostly from methane.

The results show that emissions reduction and operational efficiency can be achieved simultaneously.

Alignment with OGMP 2.0 Strengthens Global ESG Commitment

The initiative is part of MedcoEnergi’s participation in the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0, a global standard that promotes transparency and accuracy in measuring and reporting methane emissions.

Through this participation, MedcoEnergi aligns itself with other global energy companies that prioritize data accountability and strong emissions governance.

Leadership Perspective: Responsible and Sustainable Operations

“Our commitment does not stop at emissions reduction, but also at how emissions are measured, managed, and reported credibly,” said Ronald Gunawan, Director & Chief Operating Officer of MedcoEnergi.

He added, “Reducing methane emissions is not just about compliance or technology, but about how we operate more responsibly and sustainably. This shows that field initiatives can have a real impact on the environment while strengthening energy resilience.”

MedcoEnergi’s Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions

MedcoEnergi has surpassed its 2025 emissions reduction targets and remains on track to meet its 2030 interim targets.

The company will continue to expand the application of energy efficiency and low-emission technologies as part of its aspiration to achieve Net Zero Emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2050 and Scope 3 by 2060.
