KOMPAS.com – Mrapen Eternal Flame in Manggarmas Village, Godong District, Regency Grobogan, Central Java, went out, Friday (25/9/2020).
Provisional allegations, the fire was extinguished due to the drilling of a spring that is 200 meters from the location. Drilling has resulted in a gas leak.
The Provisional Officer (Acting) of the Regent of Grobogan, Haerudin, said there would be efforts to accelerate so that the eternal flame would return to life.

However, the option requires in-depth study.
“Earlier I was there to review the location. The most logical thing is to look for a new gas source which will then be distributed to the location of the Mrapen Abadi Api. But it is very technical, it needs careful study and calculation,” said Haerudin, quoted from Tribunjateng.com, Friday (2/10/2020).

The Head of Energy and Mineral Resources Section for the Kendeng Selatan Region, Sinung Sugeng Arianto, delivered a similar solution.
He said one of the options to restore the eternal flame source was to find new gas sources that were nearby.
However, that option requires a mature technical study.
