Indonesia’s pride Pertamina is on its debt-bed
Share on FacebookShare on X

Indonesia, once a booming economy fueled by a thriving energy industry, is now facing a bleak future. The state-owned oil company, Pertamina, is struggling to keep the lights on and meet the country’s energy demands. The recent news of acquisition of Pertamina of Royal Dutch Shell’s stake in the Masela gas block has been met with apprehension, as it requires an additional $6.5 billion in working capital over the next five years.

Oil and gas output of Pertamina has been declining at an alarming rate, dropping from 1.6 million barrels per day in 1995 to a mere 647,000 BOPD today. This decrease in output is a significant blow to the country’s energy industry, as it is heavily dependent on oil and gas production. Moreover, foreign investment in the industry is at an all-time low, indicating a lack of confidence in Indonesia’s energy future.

Indonesia has been grappling with several issues, including corruption and regulatory hurdles, that have hindered the growth of its energy industry. The government’s reluctance to provide adequate funding and infrastructure has also contributed to the industry’s decline. In recent years, the government has been trying to lure foreign investors by offering incentives and streamlining regulations, but it has failed to make a significant impact.

To make matters worse, Indonesia’s renewable energy sector is still in its infancy. Although the country has vast geothermal, hydro, and solar resources, their potential has not been fully realized. The government has set ambitious targets to increase the share of renewable energy in the country’s energy mix, but progress has been slow.

In conclusion, Indonesia’s energy dreams are dying faster than a houseplant in a drought. The country’s energy industry is facing numerous challenges, including declining oil and gas output, lack of foreign investment, and underdeveloped renewable energy sector. It’s high time for the government to take decisive action to turn things around and secure the country’s energy future.
