Case Study: Supplying Steel for Indonesia’s Expanding Oil and Gas Infrastructure

No Header

Project Context

 

With Indonesia’s Q1 2025 oil lifting reaching 96% of the national target and gas production surpassing expectations, the government and private sector have accelerated infrastructure development across oil and gas regions. This includes storage terminals, refinery upgrades, and supporting logistics facilities in Kalimantan and Sumatra.

The rapid rise of Indonesia oil and gas infrastructure has created a surge in demand for steel products that meet safety standards, arrive on time, and support large-scale structural builds.

 

SBU Steel’s Role

 

Client Type: EPC Contractor (Energy Sector)
Project Type: Fuel Storage and Processing Facility
Location: South Kalimantan
Duration: July–September 2025

Challenge

The client required a fast-track steel supply for a 15,000 m² fuel storage project. The structure needed high-strength H-beams, hollow sections, and steel plates—all with national certifications. The timeline was tight, with penalties tied to late deliveries.

Solution

SBU Steel stepped in as a key materials partner, offering:

  • Fast response to inquiries and detailed technical support

  • Steel with complete SNI compliance documentation

  • Logistics coordination to deliver in phases, aligned with the client’s build schedule

  • Custom-cutting services to reduce on-site preparation

By staying flexible and proactive, we ensured that each steel shipment arrived exactly when needed—keeping the project on track and allowing the contractor to focus on execution, not supply chain issues.

Results

  • On-Time Delivery Rate: 100%

  • Material Rejections: 0%

  • Client Satisfaction Score: 9.5/10

  • Repeat Order: Secured Phase 2 supply contract

This case reinforces how SBU Steel helps drive the success of Indonesia oil and gas infrastructure projects—not only by supplying high-quality steel, but by understanding the high stakes involved in energy-sector timelines.

Conclusion

As national energy goals push for faster and more robust infrastructure, contractors need steel suppliers that do more than just deliver—they need reliable partners. SBU Steel continues to support energy clients across Indonesia with dependable service and certified materials.
