JGC Indonesia Wins EPC Contract in Indonesia

JGC Corporation announced that its group company, JGC Indonesia, jointly with PT. ENCONA INTI INDUSTRI, has been awarded the EPC contract for the construction of a gas processing plant in Aceh Province, Sumatra planned by PT MEDCO E&P MALAKA.

The lump-sum turnkey contract has a value of approximately 27 billion Japanese Yen and calls for Project completion in the 1st quarter, 2018.

The project contract calls for the construction of a plant to process 90 mmscfd natural gas for the production of sales gas, condensate, and solid sulfur from natural gas produced by Block A developed by MEDCO and its partners in Aceh, Indonesia, which is rich in natural resources such as oil and gas. Planning is for the produced sales gas to be used principally by a gas-fired power plant of Indonesia’s state-owned electric power company in Aceh and by a state-owned fertilizer company.

In the 1970s, JGC was the first company of its type to set up an EPC-capable subsidiary in Indonesia when it established the former PT. PERTAFENIKKI Engineering (renamed JGC Indonesia in 2007). Through to the present, the subsidiary has been steadily accumulating project experience while responding to local needs. This is the largest-scale project in the history of JGC Indonesia, and JGC understands that the contract has been awarded to JGC Indonesia on the basis of its experience in Indonesia and the high evaluation accorded to its project execution capabilities, in addtion to its cost-competitive proposal.

JGC is now promoting the strengthening and expansion of its overseas EPC subsidiaries, and intends to further enhance JGC Indonesia’s project execution capabilities through the successful execution of this very important project.

Moving Abroad Checklist

Initial Considerations

Will your partner be travelling with you?

If so, what will they be giving up in your present home and will they be able to continue with their career in your new home? You will need to check whether a separate visa is required for your partner to work or if your visa gives that right. If they are unable to work you will need to decide on the effect on your finances and what alternatives are available to give a fulfilling life (home business, training, voluntary work).

Are you taking family with you?

Moving with family raises many exciting opportunities, but also can create challenges. The HSBC Expat Explorer survey indicates that expat kids can take six months to settle in to their new country (see article). Getting young or even older children to prepare to move and leave their friends and family behind can be a challenge and should be thought through.

The options for education is another area that needs to be thought through.

Moving your child to a new country with a different education system can be a great opportunity to broaden their experience, but if they are close to key exams the timing can make this inadvisable. If you do take your family with you, it is important to decide between joining the local school system or choosing an international school.

Where will you be living?

Whether you will be living in a house or apartment, furnished or unfurnished, these decisions will affect what you need to take with you. The time you are planning to live overseas will also affect whether you should leave your property at home empty, rent it out or sell it. See the article Sell, Store or Ship.
