Still a few investors are interested in investing in the refinery project in Indonesia
Hope the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) can menggeber oil refinery project in the country is still not running smoothly. In fact, the government is hoping the arrival of the King of Saudi Arabia, Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud triggered more investment in oil refineries.
In fact, oil and gas (oil) Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Aramco does not disburse too large in Indonesia. For example in refinery development project or development refinefy mas ter plan (RDMP). Of the four projects Pertamina to offer, Saudi Aramco only interested in Cilacap refinery worth US $ 6 billion.
In fact, Pertamina and the government hopes, Saudi Arabian company is also interested in Dumai and Balongan refinery. Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Wiratmaja Puja IGN mentions, although Saudi Aramco already committed investment in Cilacap refinery, he claimed another project already began to be realized.
For example the construction of depots and an oil refinery in Batam by Sinopec Group from China, especially for the construction. depot. tor privately interested in working on the refinery project. Especially seteiah No Regulation (Candy) EMR Number 35 Year 2016 concerning the Development of Domestic Oil Refinery by privately owned companies. "There are some private sector to build the refinery," he said.
Actually, Chinese companies will build depots and refineries there with a total value of Rp 77.7 trillion. "If the refinery yet, we are still the data," he said.
Yet another refinery project still has been no progress. As the construction of the refinery Situbondo by Kreasindo Resources Indonesia, in partnership with the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIOC). According Wiratmaja, the refinery project is still in process. Pity he did not elaborate laniut stages of the process in question.
Please know, many private investors are interested in working on the refinery project. Especially after Minister Regulation No. 35 of 2016 on the Development of Domestic Oil Refinery By Private Enterprises. "There are some private sector to build the refinery," he said.
Fuel exporters dream
Understandably, Indonesia is again in need of a new field currently produces fuel oil (BBM) of approximately 800,000 barrels per day. In fact, the fuel needs of Indonesia reached 1.6 million barrels per day. In fact, in 2022-2023, the need to swell to 2.2 million barrels per day.
According Wiratmaja, yet many private investors who are interested in the refinery because the company needs more time to prepare everything as investors refinery. As a result, until now, the government has not issued a permit for the construction of new refineries. "No one has asked for permission (new refineries)," he said.
The government has issued 24 permits to build a refinery. But until now the only refinery in Bojonegoro Tri Wahana Universal owned by Tommy Suharto.
Seeing this situation, the government is not doing nothing. According to him, the government will continue to improve regulation and licensing in the refinery project. For example, the provision of incentives in the form of commercial license (trade) Fuel for investors who want to build a refinery in Indonesia. He hopes that these incentives could stimulate investor.
Through this incentive, he projected, later in the year 2023, Indonesia could become self-sufficient in fuel and oil exporting countries. "If we become an exporter of oil and petrochemicals," definitely cool, "
According to the Chief Coordinator Gas Indonesia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Ahmad Wijaya, the refinery investment, the most important is the availability of crude oil (crude).
Therefore, the government should really pay attention to the upstream industry (upstream) in order that the industry (midstream) and downstream (downstream) runs. "The government has not seen an important upstream industry. If the upstream industry is not serious, between and downstream industry is not growing," said Ahmad.

Swasta Masih Menghitung Investasi di Kilang Minyak
Masih sedikit investor yang tertarik berinvestasi di proyek kilang di Indonesia
Harapan Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) bisa menggeber proyek kilang minyak di tanah air masih belum berjalan mulus. Padahal, pemerintah sangat berharap kedatangan Raja Arab Saudi, Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud memicu investasi lebih banyak di kilang minyak.
Kenyataannya, perusahaan minyak dan gas (migas) Arab Saudi, yakni Saudi Aramco tidak menggelontorkan dana terlalu besar di Indonesia. Misalnya di proyek pengembangan kilang atau refinefy development master plan (RDMP). Dari empat proyek yang Pertamina tawarkan, Saudi Aramco hanya tertarik di kilang Cilacap senilai US$ 6 miliar.
Padahal, Pertamina dan pemerintah berharap, perusahaan Arab Saudi ini juga tertarik di kilang Dumai dan Balongan. Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM IGN Wiratmaja Puja menyebutkan, meski Saudi Aramco sudah menyatakan komitmen investasi di kilang Cilacap, ia mengklaim proyek lain sudah ada yang mulai terealisasi.
Misalnya proyek pembangunan depo dan kilang minyak di Batam oleh Sinopec Group asal China, terutama untuk pembangunan. depo. tor swasta yang berminat menggarap proyek kilang. Terutama seteiah ada Peraturan Menteri (Permen) ESDM Nomor 35 Tahun 2016 tentang Pelaksanaan Pembangunan Kilang Minyak di Dalam Negeri oleh Badan Usaha Swasta. "Ada beberapa pihak swasta yang ingin membangun kilang," katanya.
Sebenarnya, perusahaan China ini akan membangun depo dan kilang minyak di sana dengan total nilai Rp 77,7 triliun. "Kalau yang kilang belum, masih kami data," katanya.
Namun proyek kilang lain masih belum ada perkembangan. Seperti pembangunan kilang Situbondo oleh Kreasindo Resources Indonesia, yang bermitra dengan National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIOC). Menurut Wiratmaja, proyek kilang tersebut masih dalam proses. Sayang ia tidak merinci lebih laniut tahapan proses yang dimaksud.
Perlu di ketahui, banyak investor swasta yang berminat menggarap proyek kilang. Terutama setelah ada Peraturan Menteri ESDM Nomor 35 Tahun 2016 tentang Pelaksanaan Pembangunan Kilang Minyak di Dalam Negeri Oleh Badan Usaha Swasta. "Ada beberapa pihak swasta yang ingin membangun kilang," katanya.
Mimpi eksportir BBM
Maklum, Indonesia memang lagi membutuhkan kilang yang saat ini baru menghasilkan bahan bakar minyak (BBM) sekitar 800.000 barel per hari. Padahal, kebutuhan BBM Indonesia mencapai 1,6 juta barel per hari. Malah pada tahun 2022-2023, kebutuhannya membengkak menjadi 2,2 juta barel per hari.
Menurut Wiratmaja, masih belum banyaknya investor swasta yang tertarik di kilang minyak karena perusahaan tersebut masih perlu waktu mempersiapkan segala sesuatu sebagai investor kilang minyak. Alhasil, hingga kini, pemerintah belum menerbitkan izin pembangunan kilang baru. "Belum ada yang minta izin (kilang baru)," tegasnya.
Pemerintah sudah mengeluarkan 24 izin pembangunan kilang. Namun hingga saat ini hanya kilang milik Tri Wahana Universal di Bojonegoro Milik Tommy Soeharto.
Melihat kondisi ini, pemerintah tidak berpangku tangan. Menurutnya, pemerintah akan terus memperbaiki aturan dan perizinan di proyek kilang. Misalnya pemberian insentif berupa izin niaga (perdagangan) BBM bagi investor yang mau membangun kilang di Indonesia. Ia berharap insentif ini bisa merangsang investor.
Lewat insentif ini, ia proyeksikan, di tahun 2023 nanti, Indonesia bisa swasembada BBM dan menjadi negara eksportir BBM. "Kalau kita menjadi eksportir BBM dan petrokimia, "pasti keren,"
Menurut Ketua Koordinator Gas Kamar Dagang dan Industri Indonesia (Kadin) Ahmad Wijaya, dalam investasi kilang, yang paling penting adalah ketersediaan minyak mentah (crude). Untuk itu, pemerintah harus benar-benar memperhatikan industri hulu (upstream) agar industri antara (midstream) dan hilir (downstream ) berjalan. "Pemerintah belum melihat industri hulu penting. Kalau industri hulu tidak serius, industri antara dan hilir tidak tumbuh," kata Ahmad.
