SER focuses on providing reliable and affordable electricity and LPG through unconventional fuel sources such as flare gas, CBM, marginal and stranded natural gas reserves. These resources are untapped and abundant in Indonesia. Integrated to this mission is our knowledge of the whereabouts of these resources and our ability to tap appropriate power technology to commercialize and generate electricity for the local community.
Power generation and LPG Separation
Our power is generated and LPG is separated through:
1. CoalBed Methane (CBM)
2. Flare Gas
3. Stranded Gas
CBM Coal is the most abundant energy source in the world, and it is a major source of hydrocarbons, particularly gas. The coalification process, whereby plant material is progressively converted to coal, generates large quantities of methane-rich gas which are stored within the coal. The presence of this gas has been long-recognized due to explosions and outbursts associated with underground coal mining. Only recently has coal been recognized as a reservoir rock as well as a source rock, thus representing an enormous undeveloped "unconventional" energy resource. But production of coalbed methane is accompanied by significant environmental challenges, including prevention of unintended loss of methane to the atmosphere during underground mining, and disposal of large quantities of water, sometimes saline, that are unavoidably produced with the gas.
Flare Gas
A gas flare or flare stack is an elevated vertical stack or chimney found on oil, well, or oil rigs, and in refineries, chemical plants and landfills used for burning off unwanted gas or flammable gas and liquids released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment.
Natural Gas that is found within oil wells is conventionally regarded as associated gas and has historically been flared. It is also now sometimes recirculated back into oil wells in order to maintain extraction pressure or converted into electricity using gas powered engines.
Stranded Gas
A stranded gas reserve is a natural gas field that has been discovered, but remains unusable for either physical or economic reasons, or just being negleted due to the quantity of its reserves ie., less than 20 bcf.
It is estimated one third of all NG in the world is stranded that is it cannot be economically to the market. There are recorded over 6,000 NG fields that are < 0.01 TCF, and more than ever fields that are below below 10 bcf or 20 bcf is unrecorded. SER has knowledge in where these mirco stranded fields location, and its proximity to the load center. SER plan to use an appropriate genset solution and sell power to the grid or industrial customer
