Since the mid-1990s, Indonesia's crude oil production has been experiencing a significant decline, forcing the country to leave the OPEC. Problematically, regulatory and legal uncertainty have been undermining the attractiveness of the investment environment, meaning that Indonesia has become - to a significant extent - dependent on the aging oil fields that are unable to meet all domestic oil demand.
While the Philippines declared an energy crisis two weeks ago, it seems that matters in Indonesia remain under control. So far, there haven't been long queues at gas stations (to hoard fuels), while government officials repeatedly ensure that there is enough fuel available for society, although people are encouraged to cut back on fuel consumption (for example, by working-from-home once a week).
Energy is crucial for Indonesia's social and economic development. And despite Indonesia's renewable energy ambitions (targeting to become carbon-neutral by 2060), crude oil (a fossil fuel) remains an important part of the country's energy policy. In fact, Indonesia has a long-term target to achieve a crude oil production of 1 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2030.
The latest research report of Indonesia Investments focuses on the energy sector of Indonesia. The energy sector is a crucial sector because without energy it is impossible to pursue economic and social development.
Indonesia's national crude oil output remains dominated by a select group of companies. The five biggest oil producers in Indonesia - who together account for 73.34 percent of the nation's total oil production - are Chevron Pacific Indonesia, ExxonMobil, Pertamina EP, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC).
SKK Migas, the government's special taskforce for upstream oil and gas business activities in Indonesia, said direct investment in the country's upstream oil and gas sector reached USD $1.8 billion by the end of February 2018 (equivalent to around 13.84 percent of SKK Migas' full-year 2018 investment target in the country's oil and gas sector).
Net profit of Indonesia's fully state-owned oil & gas company Pertamina is estimated to have declined to around IDR 27 trillion (approx. USD $2.0 billion) in full-year 2017, down about 35 percent (y/y) from USD $3.1 billion in the preceding year. The decline is attributed to rising crude oil prices and the government's refusal to adjust subsidized fuel prices.
Indonesia's Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry will revise Energy Regulation No. 8/2017 on the gross split scheme. It was decided to revise this relatively new regulation after an evaluation was conducted that included input from oil and gas contractors. Deputy Energy Minister Arcandra Tahar announced the revision earlier this week.
Indonesian Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Ignatius Jonan hopes to see oil production at the Banyu Urip Field, part of the Cepu Block in East Java, rise to 300,000 barrels per day (bpd), a development that would also trigger the multiplier effect for the region, he added. The Banyu Urip Field is the key oil field in Indonesia as it accounts for about 25 percent of Indonesia's total crude oil output.
The upstream oil and gas industry of Indonesia is plagued by companies' lack of interest in exploration amid low crude oil prices, their eagerness to focus on efficiency strategies, and Indonesia's difficult investment climate. At the 41st Indonesian Petroleum Association Convention and Exhibition in the Jakarta Convention Center on Wednesday (17/05) Christina Verchere, President Director of the Indonesia Petroleum Association (IPA), said low oil prices have been the main reason for reduced investment in oil and gas exploration since 2014.

Crude oil is a fossil fuel that is derived from the remains of plants and organisms that lived on Earth millions of years ago (coal and natural gas also formed under similar conditions). Crude oil is found in huge underground reservoirs – either below land or the ocean floor – where ancient seas once existed.
Few should be unaware that the world (particularly Western powers) are pushing for renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. It is difficult to find a newspaper or TV station that does not report on this issue on a daily basis.
Just like essentially all other currencies around the globe, the Indonesian rupiah has been under pressure from tightening monetary policy in the United States (US). This has serious consequences for the energy market since Indonesia is a net oil importer.
Besides the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, another big news story in March 2020 was the massive decline of global crude oil prices. Not only is the price of oil under pressure because of the enormous slowdown in economic activity as various governments have imposed restrictions (such as travel bans) in an attempt to curb the further spread of the coronavirus, but there also emerged big tensions between some of the world’s biggest oil producers that led to tumbling oil prices.
In the coming 2-5 years, Indonesia is moving forward ambitiously with many energy projects planned from upstream to mid and downstream. Billions of dollars will be invested into upstream oil & gas, coal-gasification, refinery, storage facilities and petrochemical/chemical plants.
The 5th ASEAN Refining and Petrochemical Forum is set to gather global and regional leadership speakers and brightest minds from the refining and petrochemical industry to discuss and address those issues and challenges facing the whole industry. It is a perfect platform and stage for regional and Indonesian policy makers and regulators, refiners and petrochemical producers, project financing and investors and technology licensors and suppliers to network for business relation.
The severe oil spill in the Balikpapan Bay (East Kalimantan) could lead to sanctions for Indonesia's state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina. Arcandra Tahar, Deputy Minister of Indonesia's Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, said his ministry is joining forces with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to investigate the oil spill case. Five fishermen were killed by toxic smoke, while it is feared that severe damage has been done to marine live and the ecosystem in the area.
Despite sliding net profit in full-year 2017, Indonesian upstream oil and gas company Elnusa saw its shares surge 42.47 percent to IDR 530 per share so far in 2018. The company's net profit fell 25.80 percent year-on-year (y/y) to IDR 246.14 billion (approx. USD $18.1 million) in 2017, while its revenue actually rose 37.56 percent (y/y) to IDR 4.98 trillion (approx. USD $366.2 million).
Foreign exchange earnings are important assets for a national economy. Therefore, many nations have recently been taking a much more protectionist approach vis-à-vis trade in an effort to strengthen their trade positions, generate trade surpluses, hence see the inflow of more foreign exchange earnings. Foreign exchange assets support a stable local currency as well as economy.
Again, oil and gas contractors in Indonesia urge the government to clean up bureaucracy (red tape) in this sector in order to make the investment climate more attractive, and hence trigger more (much-needed) investment in Indonesia's oil and gas industry.
