Feel Blessed to be Part of Organization to Support Indonesia Development

Energy demand will continue to increase in correlation with population and economic growth.

Despite full awareness on energy transition for lower emission/renewable energy (wind and solar power), fossil fuel will remain play significant portion through 2050.

Oil and gas provide better energy supply than coal, improve access to cleaner energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emission.

Pertamina, as one of the leading energy company in Indonesia have important role to fill this energy demand. Company’s main and subsequent activities will eventually help to reduce poverty, improve public health-education, and foster economic growth.

Indonesia’s government income resulted from upstream oil and gas sector reach US$17.2 billion or 145% from APBN-P 2018 target (US$11.9 billion).

Pertamina’s oil production in 2018 achieve 393 MBOPD, 15% exceeding previous year production, with gas production reach 3,059 MMSCFD, 50% exceeding previous year volume.

4 Pertamina’s subsidiary are at top 10 biggest oil-condensate producer during 3^rd quarter 2019: Pertamina EP, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, PHE OSES, and Pertamina Hulu Kalimantan Timur. In addition, 3 Pertamina’s subsidiary are at top 10 biggest gas producer on the same time interval: Pertamina EP, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, and JOB Pertamina Medco Tomori Sulawesi.

Oil and gas industry can also support Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which adopted by 193 United Nations member states.

SDG’s are the world’s plan for social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and economic development. The oil and gas industry has the potential to contribute to all 17 SDG. Below are the mapping of initiatives that can be provide by oil companies to support SDG.

Since 2017, thru Pertamina’s 8 Priorities of a World Class effort to accelerate the achievement of 2025 Vision -to become a World-Class National Energy Company-, there was mentioned step to develop new and renewable energy aspect.

Currently, thru its subsidiary, Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE), Pertamina had provide US$ 2.68 billion or Rp. 38.05 trillion investment to add additional 440 MW geothermal power plant capacity on 2026 from current production 700 MW.

In hand, plan to produce non-carbon energy: developing hydrogen and nuclear power are also being developed.

Hydrogen which being trialed is hydrogen use at refinery, to produce methanol, and for mobility. Nuclear power will be use as hydrogen mover to provide affordable energy source.

 

Having said all, I feel blessed to be part of this organization. Giving all I can do to support this nation, thru my actualization in the world-class national energy company.
