The additional gas supplies would originate from the APNE/F field, Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) block located in the western part of the Java Sea, Novitri Lilaksari, spokesperson of the state oil and gas firm PT Pertamina`s subsidiary, said here on Thursday.
She said the additional gas supplies would secure gas supplies to Pupuk Kujang 1A to 57 billion british thermal unit per day (BBTUD).
