Pertamina - Facilities

Facilities

Pertamina has not built any new refineries since the Balongan refinery was opened in West Java in the mid-1990s.

PTT Public Company Limited and Pertamina signed into partnership to build a new petrochemical complex in Indonesia for an estimated cost of US $4 to 5 billion.

Currently (early 2013) Pertamina owns six oil refineries which have a total combined capacity of around 1 million bpd:

(Note. By world standards, none of Indonesia's refineries are large. The world's largest refinery, at Jamnagar in India, has a production capacity of over 1,200,000 barrels per day. As a rule of thumb, refineries need to produce at least 200,000 barrels per day in order to reach reasonable international standards of efficiency.)

There are three other small refineries in Indonesia which Pertamina is responsible for operating.

In addition to the refineries which Pertamina owns, Pertamina has two operating companies which manage output from LNG plants.

• PT Arun LNG operates a plant in Arun near Lhokseumawe, Aceh, with 6 trains having a total capacity of 12.5 million tons per annum.
• PT Badak LNG operates a plant in Bontang, East Kalimantan, with 8 trains having a total capacity of 22.5 million tons per annum.

There are plans to build two more large fuel refineries, each with a capacity of around 300,000 bpd, perhaps in Balongon, West Java (or, alternatively, in Bontang, East Kalimantan) and in Tuban, East Java. The first facility is planned to be build by Pertamina in partnership with Kuwait Petroleum, while the second second will be built by Pertamina in cooperation with Saudi Aramco. Total investment is expected to be around $20 billion. As of early 2013 plans to build the two new plants were still under consideration in Jakarta.

Pertamina also has two gas reserves and a petrochemical company. Pertamina's products include a great variety of fuels, chemicals, additives, and retail products.
