PT Pertamina (Persero) chose Kuala Tanjung in North Sumatra or Arun in Aceh as the location for the construction of a new Grass Root Refinery / GRR refinery replacing the Bontang refinery in East Kalimantan.
Pertamina's Investment Planning and Risk Management Director Heru Setiawan explained that one of the plans to relocate the project was due to consideration of the replacement of the new refinery development partner.
Overseas Oil and Gas (OOG) Llc
At present the partners who have signed a partnership in the Bontang GRR development project are an oil and gas company from Oman, Overseas Oil and Gas (OOG) Llc.
It is planned that Pertamina will move the GRR development project from Bontang in East Kalimantan to Kuala Tanjung or Arun in Aceh by cooperating with prospective new partners.
According to him, the two regions were chosen because they have aspects of land availability. In addition to the location of Kuala Tanjung and Arun, the company is considered closer to the international market.

Meanwhile, Pertamina's GRR project has so far not yet reached the construction stage. Previously, Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati acknowledged the option to replace partners in the construction of the Bontang refinery.

Nicke Widyawati said that his party was still looking for other partnership options considering that there were several things that prevented the previous option. Nicke said initial work was still being carried out while Pertamina re-elected partners.

Meanwhile Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan gave a signal that the development of the Bontang refinery project will involve investors from the United Arab Emirates.
"Partners in the East Kalimantan Bontang Refinery are very changeable. So later investors from Abu Dhabi can enter. "
