Against the backdrop of accelerated transformation of the global energy structure and sustained promotion of energy security and clean energy development in Southeast Asia, international energy cooperation is unfolding with unprecedented depth and breadth. As a major energy consumer in the region, Indonesia is committed to optimizing its energy supply system to balance economic growth and low-carbon development goals. In this process, liquefied natural gas has become an important bridge connecting traditional energy with future transformation due to its clean and efficient advantages. At this juncture, the strategic cooperation between Chinese and Indonesian enterprises in the field of energy infrastructure not only responds to the practical needs of regional development, but also provides practical examples for technological cooperation and industrial upgrading in countries in the global South.

Recently, CAMCE and Indonesia's Otis International Company officially signed an EPC general contracting business contract for the East Java liquefied natural gas project in Indonesia through online means.

This signing not only marks the implementation phase of a major energy infrastructure project, but also represents CAMCE's strategic breakthrough in Indonesia's oil and gas energy sector. Previously, this Chinese company, which has been deeply involved in international engineering contracting for many years, has successfully implemented landmark projects such as the Jenalata Dam in Indonesia. Now, it has officially entered the field of oil and gas energy engineering in Indonesia, injecting new impetus into the diversified development of its business and energy cooperation between China and Indonesia.

New market track

This signing has clear strategic transformation significance for CAMCE. Yan Hailu, the Vice General Manager of the company, clearly stated at the signing ceremony that "this is a key measure for CAMCE to expand into the new oil and gas market in Indonesia. ”

In recent years, CAMCE has continued to optimize its business layout and gradually shifted its focus towards high value-added areas such as industrialization and energy. The East Java LNG project is the concrete implementation of this strategy in the Southeast Asian market, marking the company's important extension from traditional infrastructure construction to the field of energy engineering.

It is worth noting that CAMCE has a solid foundation in the field of oil and gas engineering. The nine zone oil and gas central processing facility project previously undertaken in Iraq set a record for the shortest construction period of similar projects in the country and received high recognition from the Iraqi government. This provides valuable technical and management experience for the company to implement similar projects in Indonesia, and also gives it confidence to achieve excellent engineering performance again in the East Java project.

Technological advantages and mutual benefit

At the signing ceremony, Tilta, Chairman of Indonesia's Otis International, emphasized the importance of the project for the local energy transition. He stated that the energy resources in East Java are superior, and the liquefied natural gas project meets the local energy transformation needs. He looks forward to CAMCE utilizing advanced technology and high-end equipment to promote the upgrading of the energy industry in East Java and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

This expectation is not just empty talk. As a national team in the field of international engineering contracting, CAMCE has decades of rich experience in implementing turnkey projects in over 70 countries and regions worldwide. The company not only has core competitiveness in engineering design and construction management, but also has the unique ability to provide diversified financing solutions for owners.

It is worth mentioning that the company has accumulated a good reputation through successful cases in the Indonesian market. The smooth implementation of the Jenalata Dam project demonstrates CAMCE's professional capabilities in complex engineering environments. These successful experiences will become important guarantees for the smooth progress of the East Java LNG project.

The construction of the East Java LNG project has multiple implications for ensuring Indonesia's energy security and promoting regional economic development. Vice General Manager Yan Hailu stated that the company will contribute to Indonesia's energy security and inject new momentum into energy cooperation between China and Indonesia.

From the perspective of regional energy structure, liquefied natural gas, as a clean and efficient form of energy, is crucial for Indonesia to optimize its energy consumption structure and achieve its energy transformation goals. Especially in the context of global efforts to address climate change, the development of low-carbon energy sources such as natural gas has become a consensus among countries.

As an important industrial and economic center in Indonesia, East Java has an urgent need for stable and clean energy supply. The implementation of this liquefied natural gas project will directly enhance the reliability and safety of regional energy supply, providing a solid foundation for local industrial development and improvement of people's livelihoods.

As the EPC general contractor, CAMCE will be fully responsible for all aspects of the project, including design, procurement, and construction. The company stated that it will fully leverage its comprehensive advantages in project performance, specialized management, and financing to ensure efficient project implementation.

In terms of project management, CAMCE will adopt internationally advanced project management models, combined with localized resource integration, to ensure project quality and progress. At the same time, the company will adhere to the concept of sustainable development, pay attention to environmental protection and community harmony during project implementation, and achieve the unity of economic benefits, social benefits, and environmental benefits.

After completion, the project will not only improve the energy supply situation in East Java, but may also become a demonstration project for Indonesia's energy infrastructure, providing a reference model for similar projects in the future. From a broader perspective, this is also another concrete result of the docking of China's the Belt and Road Initiative and Indonesia's global maritime pivot strategy, which will promote in-depth cooperation between the two countries in the energy field.Editor/Cheng Liting
