This achievement was achieved by the PGE innovation team through two outstanding projects focused on the efficiency and quality improvement of geothermal technology. The first innovation, titled "Enhancing the Efficiency of Real-Time Geothermal Well Production Test Data Processing through the Implementation of the Portable Real-Time Production Testing Tool (Geoflowtest)," won a Gold Medal from IENA and a Special Award from the Taiwan Creative Design Association (TCDA) in the Prominent Invention category.
The Geoflowtest team successfully developed a portable tool that processes geothermal well test data in real time, accelerating analysis and improving field efficiency. The team consisted of Tumpal Parulian Nainggolan, Awang Rahmawan Prakoso, Adhiguna Satya Nugraha, Gamal Hastriansyah Mulyono, Muhamad Bayu Saputra, Andi Joko Nugroho, Mohamad Husni Mubarak, Dhimas Wahyu Wibowo, Benedict Amandus Hananto, Pudyo Hastuti, and Dika Ukhti Rahmautami Amin.
The second innovation, titled "Advancing Quality Assurance of Geothermal Laboratory Testing through the Invention of Non-Condensable Gas Reference Materials: The GOVAST 2.0 Innovation," won a Silver Medal. This innovation also received the Thailand Award for Best International Invention & Innovation from the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT).
The GOVAST 2.0 team developed an innovation in Non-Condensable Gas Reference Materials that improves the accuracy of geothermal laboratory testing and strengthens PGE's geothermal operations quality assurance system. This team consists of Hendra Hadriansyah, Rivanie Pahlanie, Helmi Sofari, Muhammad Iqbal Alkindi, Henny Firdaus, Teza Permana, Ragil Farhandimas Rizki, and Losendra Primamas Yonando.
Julfi Hadi, President Director of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk, expressed his pride in the achievements of the PGE innovation team at the international event.
"Innovations such as Geoflowtest and GOVAST 2.0 demonstrate that operational efficiency and technological research are key to accelerating the energy transition. This achievement is clear evidence that the nation's youth are capable of producing world-class innovations from within Indonesia. PGE will continue to strengthen the geothermal innovation ecosystem so that Indonesia becomes not only a technology user, but also a creator of global solutions for clean energy. Congratulations to the PGE officers; this success is not only about technology, but also about the spirit of collaboration and the culture of innovation that we continue to cultivate at PGE," said Julfi Hadi.
PGE's participation in IENA 2025 demonstrates the company's commitment to fostering a culture of innovation and strengthening Indonesia's position as a major player in the global green energy sector.
