SUBJECT: INDONESIA OIL AND GAS HIGHLIGHTS - NOVEMBER 2008 
 
1. Summary. Indonesian crude oil production has increased in 2008 
relative to 2007, although it is below government target of 1 
million barrels per day.  U.S. companies won 4 of 31 new oil and gas 
exploration contracts.  The Indonesian government is trying several 
methods to boost its balance of payments from the oil and gas 
sector, including reducing foreign oil purchases and requiring 
contractors to keep operating funds in local banks.  Indonesia 
reduced its subsidized fuel prices due to falling oil prices, and 
domestic natural gas consumption continues to increase with an 
expanded pipeline network.  End Summary. 
 
-------------------------- 
Production and Exploration 
-------------------------- 
 
2. According to oil and gas upstream regulator BP Migas, average oil 
production as of October 2008 was 977,200 barrels per day (bpd), 
which is only a slight increase compared with last year's production 
of 954,400 bpd. It is still below the Indonesian government target 
of 1 million bpd for 2008. According to the Ministry of Energy 
Office and Mineral Resources, Indonesia had proven and potential oil 
reserves of 8.4 billion barrels and produced about 348 million 
barrels in 2007. In the natural gas sector, Indonesia had proven and 
potential reserves of around 165 trillion standard cubic feet 
(TSCF), with production of around 2.7 TSCF in 2007. 
 
3. On October 17, the Directorate General of Oil and Gas (MIGAS) 
announced 22 winners of oil and gas direct tenders from a total of 
25 blocks offered in May 2008. Total investment for the first three 
years of exploration of these blocks will be about $375.5 million. 
Two U.S companies participated in the tender, ConocoPhillips on 
Arafua Sea and Chevron Indonesia in West Papua. On the same day, 
MIGAS also offered 31 new oil and gas blocks, with 16 blocks being 
offered through a regular tender while the rest will be offered 
directly as a result of joint studies. On October 31, MIGAS 
announced 9 winners from 21 blocks offered in January 2008. The 
companies are committed to do the exploration for three years with 
total investments amounting to $465.1 million. Two of these winners 
were U.S. companies - ExxonMobil in East Java, and Hess in West 
Papua. 
 
------------------- 
Balance of Payments 
------------------- 
 
4. In order to boost the balance of payments surplus, on October 28 
the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources announced a plan to 
minimize fuel imports, increase commodity exports and support 
foreign investment in the energy and minerals sector. Indonesia has 
already reduced purchases of crude oil for refining, beginning in 
November.  Plans to expand commodity exports have so far not been 
announced. 
 
5. On November 19, upstream regulator BP Migas announced a plan to 
strengthen Indonesia's forex reserves by requiring local and foreign 
oil and gas production sharing contractors (PSCs) and subcontractors 
to use local banks for all transactions to be claimed as cost 
recovery.  PSC contractors already keep most of their funds for 
local operations in local banks, although international 
subcontractors often do not.  The Ministry of Energy and Mineral 
Resources has not yet put out regulations on this policy, but 
expects to do so in December. 
 
------- 
Subsidy 
------- 
 
6. On November 18, the Director of Program Supervision in the 
Directorate General of Oil and Gas, Heri Purnomo, said that there is 
a strategy to substitute subsidized kerosene with liquid petroleum 
gas (LPG). During 2008 households consumed 7,838,337 KL of 
subsidized kerosene, accounting for 79.6% of household fuel 
consumption, compared with only 2,013,475 KL of LPG. In 2009 Heri 
Purnomo expects the proportions to be switched, with kerosene 
consumption at 3,087,144 KL (31.3%) and LPG equal to 6,764,668 KL 
(68.66%). The Indonesian government retains a subsidy on all LPG, 
after a plan to remove subsidies on 12 kg and 50 kg canisters of LPG 
(but keep them for 3 kg canisters) was scrapped in September. 
 
7. Due to falling crude oil prices, the government has announced 
 
JAKARTA 00002211  002 OF 002 
 
 
plans to cut the price of subsidized gasoline from Rp 6,000 ($0.50) 
per liter to Rp 5,500.  The subsidized prices of diesel fuel and 
kerosene remain unchanged at Rp 5,500 and Rp 2,500 respectively per 
liter, although the government has indicated that it may reduce the 
price of subsidized diesel in December.

8. As of June 2008, state-owned downstream natural gas company PT 
Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) transported 743 million standard cubic 
feet per day (MMSCFD) of natural gas through its transmission 
pipeline for 2008 to Chevron in Singapore. It was a slight increase 
compared with 720 MMSCFD delivered for the same period in 2007. 
Moreover, PGN has increased the volume of gas sold to domestic 
customers through its distribution network by 42% to 551 MMSCFD, 
compared with 389 MMSCFD sold in the previous year. The increase was 
due to gas distribution through the South Sumatra West Java (SSWJ) 
pipeline that started in August 2007.
