<![CDATA[One of subsidiaries of Pertamina is Pertamina Gas which manage special task in operating crudeoil transportation ±15,000 barrel oil per day (BOPD). In the operation still occur illegal tapping aetivities and riskof pipeline produet theft is a major concern to industry. In 2012, oil thieves drills 748 illegal taps or an average2 times every day. Losses from transportation approximately 40% per day and loss revenue more than $20million a year. The aetivities of illegal tapping by cutting into pipelines can cause pipeline ruptures and explosions,leading to human casualties, destruetion of property, and damage to the environment. Pertamina Gas reported thatillegal taps rise to 400% from 2010 until 2013 and effort was taken to minimize illegal tapping frequency anddevelops integrated system that includes supervision and security of assets along the pipeline called “Security andOil Losses Management with Integrated Detection System (SOLIDS)”. This system includes liquid managementsystem (LMS), pipeline leak detection system (PLDS), security team patrol, emergeney response team (ERT),radio communication-CCTV and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The implementation of SOLIDS is aneffective oil loss detection technologies and pipeline security that detect produet thefts quickly and accuratelylocate illegal tapping points. SOLIDS investment costs are still smaller than the company’s losses due oil lossesand cnvironmental impaet. Pertamina Gas has bccn succccded in reducing losses from illegal taps. In 2012 thenumber of illegal tapping cascs 748 points and dccrcased significantly in 2018 as many as zero casc. Consistentimplementation of this system will provide solution in reducing losses and illegal tapping under all operationalconditions.]]>
