Indonesia remained a Dutch colony until 1942. Indonesia's oil
industry is one of the oldest in the world. Oil in commercial quantities
was discovered in northern Sumatra in 1883 BY( Royal Dutch
Company for Exploration of Petroleum sources in the Netherlands
Indies)
Petroleum having been produced and exported from the island
nation for more than 75year.

the history of indonesian oil ,however, has been acheckered

one .from an important early contributor to the world's crud
production under peaceful dutch

1890 Telaga Said production field sold to a company that later

merged to form Royal Dutch Shell. First production was in1892.

1912 Standard Oil of New Jersey through its Dutch subsidiary

received permission to explore for oil in South Sumatra.

1921 The Talang Akar field is discovered, which proved to be the

biggest find before WWII

1942 japanese take over most oil fields during WWII and slow
production

1978 First LNG plant enters production 

Oil Reserve:
Indonesia currently holds proven oil reserves of 4.7 billion barrels,
down 13% since 1994. Much of Indonesia's proven oil reserve base is
located onshore. Central Sumatra is the country's largest oil
producing province and the location of the large Duri and Minas oil
fields. Other significant oil field development and production is located
in accessible areas such as offshore northwestern Java, East
Kalimantan, and the Natuna Sea. Indonesian crude oil varies widely
in quality, with most streams having gravities in the 22o to 37 o API
range. Indonesia's two main export crudes are Sumatra Light, or
Minas, with a 35 o API gravity, and the heavier, 22o API Duri crude.

Astudy released in August 2002 by Indonesia's Directorate General of

Oil and Gas shows that oil reserves in the Cepu block alone, located in
Central/East Java, are close to 600 million barrels, about half of which
is considered recoverable.

NaturalGas:
Indonesia has proven natural gas reserves of90.3 trillion cubic feet
(Tcf)(1/1/2004). Most of the country's natural gas reserves are located
near the Arun field in Aceh, around the Badak field in East
Kalimantan, in smaller fields offshore Java, the Kangean Block
offshore East Java, a number of blocks in Irian Jaya, and the Natuna
D-Alpha field, the largest in Southeast Asia. Despite its significant
natural gas reserves and its position as the world's largest exporter of
liquefied natural gas (LNG), Indonesia still

relies on oil to supply about half of its own energy needs. About 70%
of Indonesia's LNG exports go to Japan, 20% to South Korea, and the
remainder to Taiwan.

Indonesia still relies on oil to supply about half of its own energy
needs.

Revenues from gas exports are substantial -- $5.6 billion in 2002, or

about 10 percent of Indonesia’s total export revenues.

:Major Producing Oil Fields

 The majority of Indonesia's producing oil fields are located in the
central and western sections of the country like

Duri, Minas, Belida, Ardjuna, Arun, KG/KRA, Widuri, Nilam, Attak,

bekasap

Major Gas Fields:

Sumatra: Arun, Alur Siwah, Kuala Langsa, Musi, South Lho Sukon,
Wampu

East Kalimantan: Attaka, Badak, Bekapai, Handil, Mutiara, Nilam,

Semberah, Tunu

Java: Pagerungan, Terang/Sirasun

Irian Jaya: Tangguh

PRODUCTION HISTORY:

Indonesia is the third oldest oil producer in the world after the United
States and Russia, with production having commenced more than a
century ago. In 2000, Indonesia ranked 17th in the list of the worldd's
largest oil producers. Currently, Indonesia is the second largest oil
producer, after China, in the Asia Pacific region with over 27% of the
the region's oil production.

Sumatra has traditionally been the principal oil-production region in

Indonesia followed by java and Kalimantan.caltex is largest producer with
an out put in 2000 of 750,000 b/d from its Mins,Duri,and bekasap fields In
central Sumatra.shell's production (as of1january 1966 taken over by the
government .)

Caltex is the largest single independent Indonesian oil producer with over
700,000 barrels per day.
 Indonesia's oil production was formally governed by a quota
allocation from OPEC. At the March 1991 OPEC ministerial meeting,
Indonesia's quota was set at 1.445 million barrels per day, below the
country's estimated production capacity of 1.7 million barrels per day.
Indonesia's quota represented about 6 percent of total OPEC
production.

About 70 percent of Indonesia's annual oil production was exported

on average during the late1980s, but domestic consumption was
increasing steadily and reached half of annual oil production by 1990.

Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian member of OPEC and its

Production Quota (since 4/01/04): 1.218 million bbl/d (as of
7/01/04):1.32millionbbl/d , well above its production capacity. Since
becoming a net oil importer in 2004, Indonesia has reportedly been
considering eventually leaving OPEC, but no final decision to do so
has been made.

Indonesia produced an average of 1.251 million barrels of oil per day

(BOPD) in 2002, down 6.9 percent from the previous year's average of
1.340 million BOPD

In the first eight months of 2005, Indonesian crude oil production

averaged 944,000 barrels per day (bbl/d), down from the 2004
average of 967,000 bbl/d and continuing the decline of the past
several years. The decline is due mainly to the natural fall off of aging
oil fields, a lack of new investment in exploration and development,
partially due to regulatory hurdles.

Most of Indonesia's major oil producers reported declines (see table1).

Caltex Pacific Indonesia's (CPI) production dropped 10.2 percent, in large
part due to the loss of its CPP block to the Siak regional government in
August 2002.

CPI now accounts for 44 percent of the country's crude oil production.
Pertamina's production dropped 8.3 percent, due to steady declines in its
matured and depleted fields in South Sumatra and Kalimantan. In
contrast, national oil company Exspan reported a 3.6 percent increase in
production, due to strong performance from its Rimau oil block in South
Sumatra,.China's increased presence is another significant change to the
oil production picture.
