Media Monitoring Online Pertamina Projects Stall Amid Policy Media Monitoring Online Pertamina Projects Stall Amid Policy Flip-flops, Refinery Blaze Tanggal : Rabu , 31 Maret 2021 Media : The Jakarta Post Halaman : 2 Wartawan : Vincent Lingga Muatan Berita : Netral Narasumber : None () Rubrik : Headlines Topik : Kilang Minyak Nilai Iklan : Rp. 78.000.000 This is really bad news for energy, an extremely vital component of the economy. While Pertamina’s four refinery upgrade projects and two greenfield refinery projects launched in 2014 have been delayed by several years or even canceled, an inferno fire gutted the state-owned oil and gas giant’s newest refinery at Balongan, West Java, early Monday morning. Even though Pertamina has made assurances that the incident would not disrupt fuel supply and distribution, we cannot help but be concerned about the damage incurred on the downstream oil industry. Already Southeast Asia’s largest net importer of crude oil, gasoline and gasoil at an annual volume of almost 1 million barrels per day (bpd), Indonesia may have to import more refined fuel until the Balongan refinery resumes production at its 125,000 bpd full capacity. Pertamina’s six old refineries, which have a combined capacity of 1 million bpd, are able to produce only 850,000 bpd of refined fuel, barely half of national demand. Importing more fuel means stronger pressures on the balance of payments and larger drain on the foreign exchange reserves. The Balongan refinery, which came on stream in 1994, was the last plant Pertamina built. Many new greenfield and expansion projects that have been planned since then have suffered cancellations or prolonged delays due to the country’s notorious policy flip-flops and bureaucratic barriers. After Joko “Jokowi― Widodo became president in late 2014, he enacted a 2015 decree designating four refinery upgrades and two greenfield refineries as national strategic projects. Scheduled for completion by 2025, these six projects worth US$45 billion in total investment would double Pertamina’s refining capacity to 2.1 million bpd. Since then, the main parameter for assessing the performance of Pertamina’s board of directors has been progress on these six projects. This makes sense, given oil’s vital role in the national energy mix of the world’s largest archipelagic country and the highly volatile global oil prices. But most of these refinery projects have stalled, prompting the rapid succession of five Pertamina CEOs between 2014 and 2018. But what the government seems unable to grasp or has simply ignored is that graft-tainted Pertamina, one of Indonesia’s largest state-owned enterprises, has always been vulnerable to political pressure from interest groups in government and the House of Representatives. We believe that undue government intervention and pressure from politicians with vested interest are to blame for the regulatory uncertainties and bureaucratic headwinds that have forced investors to cancel their commitments or quit memorandums of understanding (MoUs) they had signed with Pertamina. Bureaucratic and regulatory barriers are especially inimical to downstream oil investments because the refining margin is very narrow. Crude oil already accounts for up to 85 percent of value-added hydrocarbons, while the investments are longterm and range from $8 billion to $9 billion per unit. Investors therefore usually ask for an internal rate of return of at least 15 percent to secure their return on capital. Besides, building a refinery takes at least five years. On paper, Indonesia should be commercially viable for investing in refineries, with its vast unexplored sedimentary basins that have large hydrocarbon potential, as well as its market of 270 million people and growing. But the country has been one of the least attractive to oil investors since the 2000s due to bureaucratic and regulatory barriers and policy uncertainty. The climate of investing in Indonesia’s oil refineries has been on the decline since Indonesia became a net oil importer in 2004, and has only worsened due to government control of refined oil product prices. Page 1/2 It is no wonder that not a single refinery has been built since 1995, despite the long string of MoUs and other preliminary agreements with Middle Eastern companies, even during the current administration. Pertamina in 2016 signed an MoU with Saudi Aramco to upgrade its $5.5 billion Cilacap refinery in Central Java to an annual capacity of 400,000 bpd. Aramco was also reportedly interested in the $10 billion Dumai and Balongan refinery upgrade projects, but no meaningful progress has been made. Likewise, no progress has been forthcoming as regards Pertamina’s cooperation with China’s Sinopec, Japan’s JX Nippon Oil & Energy and Oman’s Overseas Oil & Gas on the Bontang greenfield refinery project, or its cooperation with a South Korean consortium on a refinery expansion project in Dumai, Riau. The only notable progress to gain public attention is the $15 billion integrated refinery and petrochemical complex project in Tuban, East Java, managed by PRPP, a joint venture between Pertamina and Russia’s Rosneft Oil Company. The 300,000 bpd capacity greenfield refinery will also produce 1 million tons of ethylene and 1.3 million tons of aromatic hydrocarbon. PRPP made headlines over the sudden emergence of hundreds of millionaires in Tuban in early February, when the joint venture paid the rupiah equivalent of millions of dollars to local villagers to acquire over 700 hectares of land for developing the integrated complex. If President Jokowi is really serious about completing the badly needed refineries, he should personally protect the projects from the undue influence of interest groups and politically connected “entrepreneurs― who are trying to maintain their fuel-importing cash cows.

  • Structuring Petroleum-Sector Institutions
    Briefing October 2014 Considerations for Indonesia’s Universitas New Government: Structuring Gadjah Mada Petroleum-Sector Institutions Patrick Heller and Poppy Ismalina As Indonesia’s new government seeks to maximize the country’s benefits from the petroleum sector, one of its most important tasks will be to resolve the longstanding uncertainty surrounding the roles and responsibilities of the public institutions responsible for managing the sector. This briefing offers a perspective based on global experience in oil and gas as well as Indonesia’s own history. WHY PETROLEUM-SECTOR INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE MATTERS Effectively allocating roles and responsibilities among ministries, Pertamina, and other government agencies is crucial if Indonesia is to tackle the challenge of reinvigorating its petroleum sector. Indonesia faces declining petroleum reserves and production, rising consumption, costly fuel subsidies and a desire to boost the performance of Pertamina. The country therefore requires an institutional structure that will enable it to execute a coherent strategy and that empowers the assigned entities to manage exploration, production, relationships with contractors, tax collection and the enforcement of Indonesia’s laws and contracts. Most importantly, the government must decide whether to house regulatory (i.e., monitoring and oversight) responsibilities within Pertamina or in another body. The new government has an opportunity to reconcile the Constitutional Court’s decision on BP Migas and build a coherent, effective, forward-looking structure. In the aftermath of the 2012 Constitutional Court decision—which invalidated the role of independent regulator BP Migas as established in 2001 on the grounds that it did not meet the state’s responsibilities under Article 33 of the constitution—there has been confusion about the present and the future of government responsibility for the petroleum sector.

  • Process Technologies and Projects for Biolpg
    energies Review Process Technologies and Projects for BioLPG Eric Johnson Atlantic Consulting, 8136 Gattikon, Switzerland; [email protected]; Tel.: +41-44-772-1079 Received: 8 December 2018; Accepted: 9 January 2019; Published: 15 January 2019 Abstract: Liquified petroleum gas (LPG)—currently consumed at some 300 million tonnes per year—consists of propane, butane, or a mixture of the two. Most of the world’s LPG is fossil, but recently, BioLPG has been commercialized as well. This paper reviews all possible synthesis routes to BioLPG: conventional chemical processes, biological processes, advanced chemical processes, and other. Processes are described, and projects are documented as of early 2018. The paper was compiled through an extensive literature review and a series of interviews with participants and stakeholders. Only one process is already commercial: hydrotreatment of bio-oils. Another, fermentation of sugars, has reached demonstration scale. The process with the largest potential for volume is gaseous conversion and synthesis of two feedstocks, cellulosics or organic wastes. In most cases, BioLPG is produced as a byproduct, i.e., a minor output of a multi-product process. BioLPG’s proportion of output varies according to detailed process design: for example, the advanced chemical processes can produce BioLPG at anywhere from 0–10% of output. All these processes and projects will be of interest to researchers, developers and LPG producers/marketers. Keywords: Liquified petroleum gas (LPG); BioLPG; biofuels; process technologies; alternative fuels 1. Introduction Liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is a major fuel for heating and transport, with a current global market of around 300 million tonnes per year.

  • Indonesia's Pertamina to Sign Agreement with Petronas 19:04, August 06, 2007
    Indonesia's Pertamina to sign agreement with Petronas 19:04, August 06, 2007 Indonesia's state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina will likely sign a joint venture agreement with its Malaysian and Vietnamese counterparts later this month to jointly explore and develop hydrocarbon resources, local press said Monday. Pertamina and Malaysia's Petronas and PetroVietnam recently have finalized negotiations on joint exploration in Randu Gunting block in East Java, which is estimated to contain 600 million barrels of oil and 1.7 trillion cubic feet of gas, reported English daily The Jakarta Post. The three parties will establish a joint venture company, called the PCPP Joint Operating Company, to operate the block, it said. Pertamina will have a 40 percent interest in the joint venture firm, while Petronas and PetroVietnam hold a 30 percent stake each, it said, quoting Pertamina president director Ari Sumarno. In early 2002, Pertamina, Petronas and PetroVietnam signed a Tripartite Cooperation Arrangement to jointly explore oil and gas in their respective countries as part of an economic cooperation under the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations. As part of the tripartite deals, the three companies had agreed to jointly develop oil blocks in Malaysia and Vietnam. An agreement signed in 2002 set up the development of Block 10 and 11.1 in offshore Vietnam and in June 2003, they signed another agreement to develop hydrocarbon resources in Block SK305 in offshore Sarawak, Malaysia and the Randu block in Indonesia. The negotiation to carry out a joint exploration in Indonesia had been stalled because of the Malaysian and Vietnamese companies ' opposition to the production sharing scheme (PSC) applied by Indonesia.
