INDONESIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Indonesia, a vast polyglot nation, grew more than 6% annually in 2010-12. The government made economic advances under the first administration of President YUDHOYONO (2004-09), introducing significant reforms in the financial sector, including tax and customs reforms, the use of Treasury bills, and capital market development and supervision. During the global financial crisis, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbors and joined China and India as the only G20 members posting growth in 2009. The government has promoted fiscally conservative policies, resulting in a debt-to-GDP ratio of less than 25%, a fiscal deficit below 3%, and historically low rates of inflation. Fitch and Moody''s upgraded Indonesia''s credit rating to investment grade in December 2011. Indonesia still struggles with poverty and unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, corruption, a complex regulatory environment, and unequal resource distribution among regions. The government in 2013 faces the ongoing challenge of improving Indonesia''s insufficient infrastructure to remove impediments to economic growth, labor unrest over wages, and reducing its fuel subsidy program in the face of high oil prices.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

 

The correct name of the Subject is P.T. ARUN NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION COMPANY not P.T. ARUN NGL as stated in your order ref. no. 224560 dated 5 June 2013. 

 

P.T. ARUN NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION COMPANY abbreviated to P.T. ARUN NGL was established in Jakarta on 16 March 1974 with the authorized capital of Rp. 2,075,000,000 of which Rp. 830,000,000 was issued and fully paid up. The founding shareholders of the company are P.T. PERTAMINA (Persero) a state oil company, MOBIL LNG INDONESIA INC of the USA and JAPAN INDONESIA LNG CO.LTD of Japan. The articles of association of the company have frequently been revised. In October 1997, the issued and paid up capital was raised to Rp. 2,075,000,000. Then according to the revision of notary deed in October 2008 the company authorized capital was reduced to Rp. 332,000,000 issued capital of Rp. 83,000,000 of which paid up. With this time the composition of its shareholders has been changed to become P.T. PERTAMINA (55%), MOBIL LNG INDONESIA INC., (30%) and JAPAN INDONESIA LNG COMPANY (15%). Then according to the latest revision of notary documents of Mrs. Siti Safarijah, SH., No. 10 dated 8 March 2013 the company board of director and the board of commissioner had been changed (see profile of this report). The deed of amendments was approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in its decision letter No. AHU-AH.01.10-11312 dated March 28, 2013.

 

P.T. ARUN NGL obtained Foreign Capital Investment (PMA) facility issued by the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) to deal with liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). P.T. ARUN LNG plant is located at Lhokseumawe the northern coast of Sumatra 275 km from Banda Aceh capital of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Province, Indonesia. P.T. Arun LNG plant processes natural gas from ExxonMobil Gas Fields, The ExxonMobil fields consists of 2 major fields On-shore and Off-shore fields. The Onshore fields is called Arun field located at Lhoksukon about 30 Km away from LNG Plant. This field was discovered in late 1971 by Mobil Oil Ind. Inc. The Offshore fields named NSO (North Sumatra Offshore) Plat-form discovered in late 1990's located approximately 100 KM from LNG Plant.

 

P.T. Arun NGL operates Arun LNG plant, which includes the Condensate and LNG facilities. The LNG facilities include separation, treating, fractionation and storage and loading. Instead of uses some processes to produce stabilized condensate and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), there are also two facilities that used to produce LPG's but no longer in operation. Natural gas and un-stabilized condensate feed to Arun LNG plant deliver via separate pipelines. The 42 inches natural gas pipeline that carries feed gas from the Arun field and 24 inches treated gas from NSO onshore facilities goes to Inlet separation drum referred as "First Stage Flash Drums" to separate any hydrocarbon liquid from feed gas. Hydrocarbon liquid in the bottom of separators is sent to condensate recovery unit for further treatment, while the overhead vapor flows to gas Treating Units.

 

The 10 inches pipeline that carries un-stabilized feed condensate from Arun field and the 3 inches pipeline carriers small amount of condensate feed from NSO onshore facilities combined with hydrocarbon liquid from bottom of First Stage Flash drum goes to Condensate Recovery/Stabilization Unit referred as "Second Stage Flash Drums" for RVP (Raid Vapor Pressure) stabilization by heating and cooling. The overhead gas from the second stage separator then sent to low-pressure fuel gas system while the stabilized condensate product is cooled and sent to product storage.

 

 

The overhead vapor from First Stage Flash Drums will flow to LNG processing Units that referred as "Train" consists of Gas treating Unit ( Unit-30 ) where the impurities such as mercury (Hg), carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are removed from the feed gas and then the sweet gas outlet Unit-30 goes to Liquefaction Unit ( Unit-40 ) where it is dehydrated to remove water content, cooled by using propane refrigerant and fractionated in scrub tower to remove heavy hydrocarbon from the feed gas. The lighter ends such as methane, ethane, propane and some butane are sent through the Ethane Extraction Unit ex LPG plant to recover ethane and propane plus to be prepared for MCR refrigerant components.

 

Residue gas outlet this unit (mostly ethane and lighter component) is boosted by the Residue Gas booster compressor and flow to the Main Cryogenic Exchanger in Unit-40 for liquefaction. The Scrub Tower bottom containing some mostly ethane, propane, butane and heavier hydrocarbon components become the feed to Fractionation/Refrigerant Preparation Unit. Once the gas is liquefied in Main Cryogenic Exchanger (spiral wound exchanger type) using mixed refrigerant system that referred as "Mixed Component Refrigerant (MCR)", then pumped to storage tank and subsequent marine loading. MCR system receives a make up stream from Refrigerant Preparation Unit and Ethane Extraction Unit; the mixed-component refrigerant is pre-cooled by propane refrigerant system before circulated in the Main Heat Exchanger to liquefy the feed gas.

 

The company manages 6 units of trains with LNG capacity of 12 million cubic meters, 1.6 million cubic meters of LPG and 120,000 barrels of condensates per month. Some 85% of the company products is exported to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan while the rest is locally marketed. The operation of P.T. ARUN NGL has been declining in the last several years in line with the drastic decline in gas from gas wells owned by EXXONMOBIL OIL INDONESIA INC., in Nangroe Aceh Darusalam. P.T. ARUN NGL gas production in 1994 is not as capable of producing approximately 224 (16.5 million tons) gas cargo per year. However the gas production in 2010 amounted to 39 cargoes decreased to 24 cargoes in 2011 and 20 cargo in 2012.

 

However, in 2013 P.T. ARUN LNG gas production only 16 cargoes per year. With this condition, the possibility of P.T. ARUN LNG gas production ceased operations in 2014, where there is no more basic materials that can be processed into gas. If this happens, gas supply from P.T. ARUN LGL for two state owned enterprises P.T. PUPUK ISKANDAR MUDA (PIM) and P.T. KERTAS KRAF ACEH certainly stalled. Mr. Iqbal Hasan Saleh, President Director of P.T. ARUN LNG further explained, with such conditions, it must turn the brain to not waste a machine of plant into scrap metal refineries later of not operating. According to him, refineries P.T. ARUN NGL gas plant will be used for the gas receiving terminal region of Sumatra. According to the Government’s plan Arun LNG plant will be convert LNG into the oil and gas refinery and large magnificent and a refinery LPG (Liquefaction Petroleum Gas) and LNG gas receiving terminal.

 

Generally, demand for oil and gas equipment, piping systems, fittings, flanges, actuators, valves and other technical equipments had kept increasing by 8% to 10% per annum in the last five years in line with the growth of industrial sectors including oil and natural gas, chemical and petrochemical industry, LNG plant, oil refinery and other sectors requiring these equipments. It is projected that the demand will keep going up in five years to come. The competition is very tight on account of many similar companies operating in the country. Besides that the growing crude oil price started as from the middle of 1999 and constantly rising within 2007 has blown fresh air to Indonesian government and oil companies.

 

In the effort of stabilizing the world's crude oil price above US$ 90 per barrel in 2008 and sharply dropped to US$ 40 to US$ 100 per barrel in early 2011. Despite crude oil price problem, Indonesia has kept on attempting to increase its crude oil and natural gas production including natural gas. The business position of P.T. ARUN NGL is not good because the gas production had been declining in the several years. Details on production growth of Indonesian crude oil and natural gas as from 2000 to 2012 are pictured bellows.

Until this time P.T. ARUN NGL has not been registered with Indonesian Stock Exchange, so that they had not obliged to announce their financial statement. The management of the company is very reclusive towards outsiders and rejected to disclose its financial condition. We observed that total sales turnover of the company in 2010 amounted to US$ 2,028 million decrease to 1,248 million in 2011 dropt to US$ 1,040 million in 2012 and projected will be dropt in 2013 due the declined of the gas to be processed. So far, we did not heard that the company having been black listed by the Central Bank (Bank Indonesia). The company usually pays its debts punctually to suppliers.  

 

The management of P.T. ARUN NGL is led by Mr. Ir. Iqbal Hasan Saleh, M.Sc., (55) a professional manager with experience in natural gas liquefaction processing. He graduate from University of Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta majoring in civil engineering and previously he is a professional of P.T. Pertamina (Persero). The company's management is handled by professional staff in the above business. They have wide relations with private businessmen within and outside the country. So far, we did not hear that the management of the company being filed to the district court for detrimental cases or involved in any business malpractices. The company’s litigation record is clean and it has not registered with the black list of Bank of Indonesia. Considering the production of gas of P.T. ARUN NGL had been dropt in the last several years we recommend to treat prudently in extending a loan to the company.
