INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) Tbk (PGN) showed a positive performance while still generating profits for the company, amid a slowdown in the global and regional economies that have an impact on the decline of domestic natural gas demand.
Throughout the first half of 2017, PGN posted net revenues of US $ 1.41 billion. PGN also posted a gross profit of US $ 378 million. The revenue of the PGAS-coded issuer is mainly derived from the contribution of natural gas distribution revenues of US $ 1.16 billion and oil and gas sales of US $ 212 million.
Meanwhile, PGN's operating profit in Semester I-2017 amounted to US $ 176 million while net income of US $ 50 million or Rp 670.3 billion (average rate of 6 months in 2017 amounting to Rp 13,329 / US $). The EBITDA until Semester I-2017 amounted to US $ 423 million.
"This year is a challenging year for PGN, mainly due to the impact of the still slowing global economy and the adjustment of gas prices to the industrial sector as a form of PGN's support to the growth and competitiveness of national industries," PGN Corporate Secretary Rachmat Hutama said in a release received by the editors, Sunday (2/9).
During the period from January to June 2017, PGN manages natural gas of 1,470 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

Despite slowing economic conditions, PGN continues to develop its natural gas infrastructure to expand the utilization of natural gas for the community.
PGN will remain aggressive in building a national natural gas infrastructure to increase utilization of national gas production. In the first half of 2017 PGN's gas pipeline infrastructure grew by more than 59 kilometers (km) and currently reaches more than 7,337 km or equivalent to 80% of national downstream natural gas pipelines.
A number of projects have been completed by PGN on time, such as gas distribution project to Paya Pasir gas power plant in Medan, gas supply in Semare Pasuruan, gas distribution to PT Indonesia Power Tanjung Priok and Mother Love’s program for gas distribution to Household.
