Indonesia’s Natural Gas: Production, Reserves, and Challenges

Scientific Contributions Oil and Gas

Recent years has witnessed decline in national oil production at an alarming rates of higher than 10% annually. On the other hand, national gas reserves and production situation is much better even though problems such as unanticipated production shortfall of existing fields and commerciality of new reserves have still to be faced. Analysis on history of production and reserves and comparison between oil and gas discoveries in recent years may lead into a conclusion natural gas may serve as an alternative source for energy and national income in years ahead. However, challenges such as technology, infra-structures, law enforcement, social unrests, tight regulations, and incentives are still day-to-day reality. These challenges need to be addressed appropriately if sustainable gas, and also oil, productions are to be achieved.

The Development of Non-Conventional Oil and Gas in Indonesia

Journal of Earth Energy Engineering

Oil and gas fuel from unconventional types of reservoirs was the development of alternative sources in addition to oil and gas fuels from conventional type reservoirs that can be obtained to meet domestic needs. The development of unconventional oil and gas reservoirs has developed rapidly outside Indonesia, such as in North America and Canada. One type of unconventional oil and gas reservoir was obtained from shale rock reservoirs. Hydrocarbon shale produced from shale formations, both source from rock and reservoir. This unconventional hydrocarbon has a big potential to be utilized. In this study, an analysis of the development of unconventional oil and gas from Shale Hydrocarbons carried out in Indonesia. This research included the distribution of shale reservoir basins, the number of unconventional shale reservoir resources, factors affecting the development of unconventional oil and gas in shale reservoirs in Indonesia, efforts made by the government to promote exploration acti...

Oil Rent and Economic Growth in Indonesia

Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development, 2013

This study aimed to analyze the effect of direct and indirect oil rents for Indonesia's economic growth through trade openness, human capital, quality of institutions and genuine savings. This study uses secondary data for the period 1980 to 2010, sourced from several institutions such as the BPS, World Bank, BP Migas, and the PRS Group. The method of analysis used in this research is the analysis of the path (path analysis), which assisted with the package SPSS version 16.00. In this study found that the oil rent has no direct negative effect on economic growth in Indonesia, and has an indirect negative effect on economic growth in Indonesia through the quality of institutions. From the research each oil rents increased by 1 point will cause a decrease in the quality of institutions in Indonesia by 0.6 points. And any increase or decrease in the quality of institutions by 1 point, would cause an increase or decrease in Indonesia's economic growth by 0.5 points. So the results of this study indicate that the quality of the institution serves as a transmission mechanism of the resource curse in Indonesia. This research also found that the oil rent significant positive effect of trade openness and trade openness significant negative effect on economic growth. So we can conclude that trade openness is not a transmission mechanism negative relationship between oil rents and economic growth in Indonesia. The results of this study support empirical research Rosser (2007) that Indonesia can avoid the resource curse in Indonesia and one way is to prevent the Dutch disease. The results of this study showed no evidence of a negative indirect effect of oil rents on economic growth through human capital and a genuine saving.

Status and outlook of natural gas industry development in Indonesia

Indonesia has been facing dramatic changes in natural gas industry development, which contributes to economic prosperity and reduces reliance on petroleum fuels. This paper reviews the current state of the natural gas industry in Indonesia, including reserves, supply and demand, infrastructure, pricing and regulation; discusses the outlook and path forward for the country's gas sector; and identifies the barriers to and regulatory remedies for further development. The government has struggled to balance domestic demand with exports with respect to the country's natural resource management and to respond to sensitive issues involving changes in oil and gas law that aim to prioritize gas for domestic usage. Meanwhile, the speed of gas infrastructure development has been slow and gas production is declining due to aging gas fields without significant new gas production. The projection results show that the domestic gas demand will increase significantly, with gas demand in 2025 being approximately double to triple that in 2013. To fulfill that demand, Indonesia needs to attract substantive investment for future gas infrastructure and upstream gas exploration and exploitation of new gas fields. Systematic support and clear policy guidelines, legal clarity and certainty, good bureaucratic performance, and effective domestic gas pricing mechanisms are necessary to assure the successful expansion of gas utilization in the country, achieve a cleaner energy mix portfolio and assist in moving away from oil subsidies.

NEW NORMAL FOR OIL AND GAS AND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN INDONESIA: PRELIMINARY STUDY

The pandemic of Covid 19 has bring huge global impacts for almost all industries including oil and gas. Lockdowns from countries around the world is decreasing energy demand and create oversupply of oil and gas products. The oversupply condition has forced oil and gas companies to either slow down or even stop their production which has impacted both the production in both upstream and downstream operation. The objective of this paper is to share a prediction of new normal post Covid 19 for oil and gas industry in Indonesia. The price crash of oil and gas products during the global pandemic also push oil and gas companies to change their line of business from traditional hydrocarbon-based company into integrated energy company. The government from countries around the world including Indonesia is attentively focused on managing the COVID-19 pandemic and reducing its impact thus temporarily leave behind the subject of energy transition. Nonetheless, the climate and environment debate is unlikely to go away. Innovations that have lowered wind, solar and battery costs will continue and decarbonization will remain a necessity for the industry. The research methodology in this paper using literatur review and the sector that being analyze such as power generation, industry, transport and building sector. As result of study, it is predicted that energy transitions and decarbonization can even be accelerated by the current crisis.

The analysis of oil, gas, and coal coal activities affecting socio-economic welfare: case of Indonesia

2019

Indonesia is a country that is rich in natural resources, such as oil, gas, and coal. The three sectors of that mining are also highly demanded in this country. It is the reason why there are many companies want to do mining activities. Law of The Republic of Indonesia No.4/2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining has stipulated that natural resource wealth must be optimized for the greatest benefit of the people's prosperity, in line with the substance of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. Related to this, Islam also regulates everything aspects of human life, one of which is how our ethics towards the environment such as maintaining resources to remain sustainable by utilizing effectively and efficiently and not causing damage on this earth. Although the government has the right to regulate the company to do Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the control is not strict enough for the mining companies to do the activities. Therefo...

Oil price and Indonesian economic growth

Problems and Perspectives in Management

Oil prices and economic growth are important indicators to see the success of Indonesia’s development performance. The use of oil as the world’s main energy source in general and Indonesia in particular is driven by industrialization. The more industries, the greater the energy resources needed. In the same context, economic growth will also increase oil demand. The purpose of this study is to examine and create empirical evidence of the relationship between world oil prices and economic growth towards domestic oil prices. Furthermore, to test and create empirical evidence on the relationship of domestic oil prices, agriculture, trade, investment, inflation, interest rates, industry, labor, exchange rates and balance of payments to economic growth. The expected output of this research will be to provide information on the policy of the transmission mechanism of oil prices and economic growth in Indonesia. The method used is descriptive and econometric approach to the analysis of sim...

The Impact of Population, Export, and Capital Formation to The Oil Consumption and Economic Growth in Indonesia

CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research - Zenodo, 2022

The paper aims to investigate the relationship between oil consumption and economic growth by including several variables namely capital, population and export in Indonesia using annual data for the period 1965-2021. Granger causality employed to determine the direction of causal relationship between the variables where the result can illustrate the ability of the country in reducing the energy consumption and the impact on economic growth. The study note the variable are stationer at first difference and two cointegration exists between the variables. In the short-run, capital has positive influence oil consumption for one and two lag. GDP and export negatively influence to oil consumption with maximum 2 lag period. In the long-run, capital and export oppositely influence oil consumption. The result of Granger causality supports the presence of conservation hypothesis between GDP and oil, GDP and export as well as GDP and capital. Feedback hypothesis confirms between oil consumption and export and oil consumption and population. The neutrality hypothesis exists between capital and oil consumption. Therefore, it can be concluded that the economic growth of Indonesia does not depend on the level of oil consumption. It implies that Indonesia government may impose energy conservation policy particularly oil without fear of negatively affecting economic growth.

The Utilization Of Resources And Regulation Along With Company's Strategies In Managing Oil And Natural Gas Industry In Indonesia

International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research, 2016

Oil and gas production in Indonesia has been declined since 1995 up to now, the effort to increase the production has been done but it does not result yet. In contrast, day by day the investment is getting increased and huge; on the other hands, it becomes a problem and a challenge for Indonesia to meet oil needs as raw material for refined fuel oil either for transportation or industries. Day by day the needs of refined fuel oil is getting increased and huge as it is correlated to the increasing of the number of motorcycles either two-wheeled or four-wheeled as well as the increasing of oil and gas or non-oil and gas industries. Oil and natural industry (Resource Base) has specific characteristics those are internal factor that uses resource such as high technology, huge investment/ cost, as well as competent human resources. Besides, the external factor those are good regulations either in the central and regional levels as well as the sector which is very important toward the pro...
