  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Thanks to a plunge $170 billion in oil prices, at one point to below $30 a barrel, NOCs are earning about $170 billion less than How much less NOCs are earning they did a decade ago, even as their sponsor governments are being asked to spend more on than a decade ago defense, social programs, and infrastructure. The result: Many parent governments are confronting daunting budget deficits for the first time.

  • 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.
