Staring Down the Barrel.
Indonesia has a long history in the oil and gas industry with a diversity of geological basins which continue to offer sizeable oil and gas potential.However, Indonesia’s crude oil production has declined over the lastdecade due to the natural maturing of producing oil elds, a slower reservereplacement rate and decreased exploration/investment. The Governmentof Indonesia (“GoI”) continues to put some effort into increasingIndonesia’s oil production and attracting investment from new and existingplayers, but in practice this has proven to be challenging.
This is the fth edition of our survey of the Indonesian oil and gas industry,and where applicable we have analyzed trends in survey participants’responses from prior reports. The survey responses come from 32 differentcompanies currently operating in the Indonesia oil and gas sector andtherefore can be used to draw credible conclusions about the issuespreventing the industry from reaching its full potential. The survey showsthat there have been improvements in some areas, but also indicates thatcontract sanctity, uncertainty over cost recovery and interference fromother government agencies continue to stie investment.
We trust that this report will prove informative and would like to thank all the individuals who took the time and efforts to participate in thisimportant undertaking.

Executive Summary
Supply and demand for oil and
gas
Not surprisingly, survey participantsbelieve that the demand for oil andgas will continue to grow, bothglobally and in Indonesia. Similar toour 2008 and 2010 survey results,the demand for gas is expected toincrease at a greater rate than thedemand for oil. Most respondents(64% for oil and 91 % for gas) seemto be of the opinion that there are
still signicant oil and gas reserves tobe discovered in Indonesia, especially in Eastern Indonesia (Papua, Maluku,etc). The majority of the survey respondents indicated that the priceof crude oil would remain in theUS$101 - 120 per barrel range for2012 but either increase to US$ 120-135, or decrease to US$ 81 – US$ 100per barrel in 2013.
Employment
In line with the continued increasein global demand for oil, the demandfor employees working in the oil andgas industry in Indonesia is likely to increase over the coming years,although compared to previoussurvey results, there has been ashift towards “remaining the same”,especially for the expatriates. A largepercentage of survey participantsindicated that they expect to increase
their hiring of local staff, together with a decrease in expatriateemployees. Similar to the 2010 survey results, a large portion of the survey participants expect difculties inattracting sufcient (skilled) humanresources.
One of the reasons behind this isthe fact that a signicant proportionof skilled local employees seek employment abroad (mostly in the
Middle East) in search of highercompensation.

Capital Expenditure
The participants’ general view seems to be that capitalspending will decline or atbest stay the same over thecoming 5 years. This is asignicant change in sentimentcompared to the 2008 survey results where over 90% of thesurvey participants thoughtcapital expenditures wouldincrease or even signicantly increase. This pessimistic view
is a worrying development,as the GoI is keen to see anincrease in investment inthe Indonesian oil and gasindustry. For the rst time,some survey participantsindicated that they will notspend money in Indonesiagoing forward as no budget hasbeen allocated to Indonesia,but they will spend their fundselsewhere.
Challenges facing theindustry There are a number of scal,legal and bureaucraticchallenges which havehindered the achievement of Indonesia’s full investmentpotential in the upstreamoil and gas industry. Withgeological resources havingbeen extensively exploitedfor more than four decadesit is understandable that thecurrent prospects are not ascompelling as they were in thepast (due to declining nd sizesor the need to move into moredifcult environments such asoffshore deepwater or moreremote areas). It is thereforeof the utmost importance forthe GoI to seriously address
these challenges (which arenot geological in nature) toattract higher investment in theupstream oil and gas industry.
From this survey, the ve most criticalchallenges facing the industry are asfollows:
1. Interference from othergovernment agencies, such asthe tax authorities
2. Uncertainty over cost recovery and BP Migas / BPKP auditndings
3. Contract sanctity 4. Corruption, Collusion and
Nepotism (“KKN”)
5. Confusion over Law No. 22/implementing regulations
The challenges highlighted in boldabove were also included in the topve challenges in our 2008 and 2010surveys.
We noted that survey participants were slightly optimistic on theanticipated developments on anumber of challenges over the
longer term as they expect someimprovements within the comingve years. However, despite this, thesurvey participants also indicatedthat they don’t expect any signicantimprovement for the remainingchallenges (such as interference fromother government agencies, suchas the tax authorities, uncertainty over cost recovery and BP Migas /BPKP audit ndings and contractsanctity). The main reason behind
this somewhat pessimistic viewmay be that many of the challengesconfronting Indonesia, such as KKNand judicial reform, require structuralchanges and it will take a long time toimplement such changes.
Competitiveness
From this survey, the ve mostcompetitive features of theIndonesian oil and gas industry are as follows:
1. Geological opportunities(including access to acreage)2. Political stability 3. Trained workforce4. Ease of foreign ownership5. Risk premium
As in the 2010 survey, industry participants indicated thatgeological prospectivity remainsIndonesia’s most attractivefeature, followed by politicalstability. This is a positive sign andshould enhance levels of foreigninvestment, however, this needsto be tempered with the survey participants’ negative views onGoI coordination. Access to atrained workforce has re-surfaced
in the top ve most competitivefeatures. The oil and gas industry has a long history in Indonesia
which has resulted in a large, welleducated workforce, especially forthe technical professions such asengineers and geologists.
Other challengesIndonesia usually ranks high incorruption listings. The majority (60%) of the survey participantsindicated that recent high prolearrests in relation to corruptionare having a positive impact onthe perception of Indonesia’scommitment to ghtingcorruption. Survey participantsindicated that Indonesia is on theright path, but that it will takeconsiderable efforts from the GoIto maintain this.

An overview of the oil
and gas industry in Indonesia
Introduction
The oil and gas industry, bothin Indonesia and globally, hasexperienced dramatic swings inrecent years. The industry had beenexperiencing a signicant resurgencein investment coinciding with the runup in crude oil prices which peaked atapproximately US$145 per barrel inmid 2008.
This was then tempered with theonset of the global nancial crisis
and ensuing global recession whichgained momentum in the latterhalf of 2008. From its peak in mid-2008, the oil price collapsed by more than 70% and ended 2008 atapproximately US$40 per barrel.
With market condence returningcrude prices recovered somewhat in2009 at approximately US$75 perbarrel, steadily increased in 2010 atapproximately US$90 per barrel and
approximately USD$100 per barrel atthe end of 2011.
Despite the recent industry volatility,investment in the oil and gas industry
and oil and gas revenue has gradually being rising. For instance, investmentin the oil and gas industry in Indonesiareached US$ 12.8 billion in 2011 andcontributed US$ 34.4 billion to StateRevenue. Further, in 2011 more than 30new oil and gas contracts were enteredinto.
Global Context
Indonesia has been active in the oil and
gas sector for more than 125 years afterits rst oil discovery in North Sumatra in1885, and continues to be a signicantplayer in the international oil and gasindustry.

Signicant events in the history of Indonesia’s Oil and Gas Sector
Indonesia holds proven oil reserves of 4.0 billion barrels and ranks twentieth
among world oil producers accountingfor approximately 1.2% of world oilproduction. Declining oil productionand increased consumption resulted inIndonesia becoming a net oil importerin late 2004. This factor, along withhigh oil prices in 2004-2008, led theGovernment to substantially scale back the domestic fuel subsidy in 2008 andto decide to temporarily withdraw from
the Organisation of PetroleumExporting Countries (“OPEC”)
– an organization representingapproximately 45% of world oilproduction. As the only Asianmember of OPEC since 1962, theGovernment has indicated it willconsider rejoining OPEC if thecountry’s oil production can beincreased and it can become a netexporter again.

the country is facing a decliningglobal LNG market share toemerging LNG producers in Qatar,
Australia, Algeria and Malaysia. After announcing its 2006 policy to re-orient natural gas productionto serve domestic needs, Indonesiadropped from its status as world’slargest exporter of LNG in 2005 tothe world’s second largest exporter of
LNG in 2010. It currently exports LNGto Japan, South Korea and Taiwanrepresenting approximately 11% of the world’s LNG exports. Indonesia’sthree existing LNG facilities arebased in Arun in Aceh, Bontang in
East Kalimantan and Tangguh inPapua. The Tangguh Project, whichcommenced rst production mid2009, broadens Indonesia’s LNGcustomer base to China and the westcoast of the United States.

Indonesia has a diversity of geologicalbasins which continue to offersizeable oil and gas potential. Of the estimated 128 oil basins, only 38 have been extensively explored.Most oil production and exploration
is currently carried out in the basinsof Western Indonesia (the bulk of Indonesia’s oil reserves being locatedonshore and offshore of centralSumatra and East Kalimantan).

As Indonesia’s oil productionhas decreased the country hasattempted to shift towards naturalgas (and to a lesser extent,geothermal) especially for power
generation. This can be seen by therelative increase in the number of gas wells drilled for the years 2003 to2009 as displayed in the table below.

Indonesia’s total geothermal energy potential is equivalent to 29,177MW of electricity – the largestgeothermal energy capacity in the
world. Of these reserves total 12,756MW is conrmed as probable, 823MW as possible and 2,288 MW asproven. The remaining 13,296 MWis still speculative and hypotheticalresources. However, progress in thissector has been slow and presentinstalled capacity is only 4.2 percentof its potential or around 1,226 MW
which compares to a target of 9,500MW set for 2025. Geothermal energy is a special focus of Indonesia’s
US$400 million Clean Technology Fund co-nanced by the World Bank and Asian Development Bank for
which a signicant scale-up of large-scale geothermal power developmenthas been identied as a priority.
Indonesia’s coal bed methane(“CBM”) reserves are estimatedto be 453 Tcf which is largerthan Indonesia’s estimatedconventional natural gas resourceand ranks the sixth in the world.
But utilization is still low. Therst CBM contract was signed in2008 and by the end of April 2012there were fty CBM cooperationcontracts. Recently, CBM wasused to produce electricity,although this only accounted foronly a small amount of capacity.The government has set daily production targets of 500 mmcf by 2015 rising to 1,000 mmcf by the
year 2020 and 1,500 by the year
2025.
In addition, Indonesia is workingat developing unconventionalgas such as shale gas. Indonesianshale gas potential is estimatedaround 574 Tcf, bigger than CBM.In order to support the potentialof this energy the governmentplans to start completing theregulations concerning shale gasby 2012.

Survey background
This is the fth edition of theIndonesian oil and gas survey. Thepurpose of the survey is to helpinform the public and private sectorsin Indonesia and abroad aboutIndonesia’s upstream petroleumindustry and to highlight some of the challenges attracting optimalinvestment and achieving its fullpotential. Where possible, we havecompared current results with theresults from prior surveys to highlight
trends and to assess whetherconditions are deteriorating orimproving.
Survey coverage
The 2012 report is based onthe results of a condentialcomprehensive survey circulated by PwC Indonesia to senior management(Country Managers, CFO’s, COO’s,Finance Managers, etc) of a wide
range of companies operating inthe Indonesian oil and gas industry
(E&P, drilling, oil eld services andseismic analysis companies). Refer
to charts 4.1 and 4.2 for backgroundon the survey participants. Thesurvey questionnaire included bothquantiable and qualitative datasections. Because of the incompletenature of certain quantiable dataresponses we have been unable toutilise this data in its entirety in ourreport.
The survey questionnaire wassent to individuals working for 76
different companies active in theIndonesian oil and gas industry. Wereceived 39 responses (representing36 different companies currently active in the Indonesia oil and gassector); Responses from severalcompanies were aggregated andtherefore represent the combined
views of several executives.Completed surveys came fromcompanies representing almost 75%of Indonesia’s petroleum productionin 2011 and several recent entrants tothe Indonesia oil and gas sector that

As expected, almost all survey respondents are of the opinion
that the demand for oil and gas will continue to (signicantly)increase in the next ve years (seecharts 5.1 and 5.2). Although oilprices have come down from thehistorical highs reached in 2008,the current commodity prices stillallow difcult-to-reach areas andreservoirs to be economically viable.
As was also the case in our 2010survey, none of the participantsexpect the global demand for oil or
gas to decrease. As can be seen onchart 5.2, the survey participants

indicated that the demand for gas,both globally and in Indonesia, would
signicantly increase in the nextve years. This may be an indicationof a shift towards cleaner energy.It is interesting to note that survey participants expected the globaldemand for oil to increase more thanthe demand for oil in Indonesia. Thismay be due to the continuing increasein demand for oil in countries likeIndia and China.

E. What will be the focus of your company’s Indonesian
exploration activities for the next three years?
Given the expectations of survey participants that there are still signicantundiscovered oil and gas reserves in Indonesia, it is not surprising that themajority of the participants indicated that they will focus on a combinationof oil and gas exploration for the next three years. This is generally consistent with prior surveys. Participants also indicated that there willbe more focus on gas exploration in the coming years (26% in 2012 versus18% in 2010). This is a trend that started in 2010.

A. Compared to 2010, will the level of employment in the oil andgas industry in Indonesia increase or decrease?
The belief that signicant undiscovered oil and gas reserves exist in Indonesia,undoubtedly gives rise to the high percentage of survey participants who think that employment in the Indonesian oil and gas industry will increase over thecoming years. More than 50% of the participants believe that the employment
will increase however, the percentage (2012: 55%) is roughly the same as the2010 survey (52 %). The remaining half of the participants indicated that they think employment will remain stable (40%) or decrease (5%).

B. Compared to 2010, will the number of employees in yourcompany increase or decrease?
Chart 6.2Employee numbers
Not surprisingly, survey participantssee the number of employees
working in the oil and gas industry in Indonesia increasing over thecoming years, although compared
to previous survey results, there hasbeen a shift towards “remaining thesame”, or even “decrease”, especially for the expatriates. A number of survey participants commented thatthe decrease in expatriate numbersis a worry as they have a wealthof experience. One of the reasonsfor this decrease could be the agelimit imposed by BPMigas. A largepercentage of survey participantsindicated that they expect to increase
their hiring of local staff. However,a recurring theme in the commentsmade by survey participants was that
they consider attracting qualiedand talented staff to be one of themost signicant challenges facingthe industry in Indonesia andacross the globe, both now and
in the future. Consistent with our2010 survey, several respondentscommented on the trend forskilled (national) employees toleave Indonesia to work in otherlocations (mostly the MiddleEast). One possible reason behindthis “brain drain” is the somewhatrestrictive salary guidelines fromthe regulator which result inskilled local employees seekingmore attractive employment
packages outside Indonesia.

D. Does the Indonesian oil and gas industry have a sufcient numberof skilled staff to perform these activities?
Given that a majority of survey participants indicated that they
expect to encounter difcultiesretaining employees in 2012, it is worrying that they also consistently indicated that the Indonesian oil andgas industry currently does not have asufcient number of skilled staff. Ona more positive note, the percentageof survey participants who believethat Indonesia does not have
sufcient skilled Indonesian staff has come down from 67% in 2010
to 59% in 2012 (see Chart 6.4)!However, the fact that two-thirdsof survey participants still believethat the Indonesian oil and gassector lacks a sufcient numberof skilled staff, combined withthe fact that over half also expectdifculties in hiring and retainingemployees is not a good sign forthe industry.

As can be seen in the chart below,48% of the participants’ general
view still seems to be that the capitalspending will decline or stay thesame over the coming 5 years. Thisis a worrying trend especially since,in our 2008 survey, over 90% of survey participants thought capitalexpenditure would increase orsignicantly increase. Approximately 33% of survey participants indicatedthat they “don’t know” what capitalexpenditure will do over the next ve
years which we are interpreting as a
negative trend given the long-term
nature of the industry and needto plan far in advance beforeinvestments reap measurablereturns. This pessimistic view isa worrying development as theGoI is keen to see an increase ininvestment in the Indonesian oiland gas industry. For the rsttime, some survey participantsindicated that they will notspend any money in Indonesiagoing forward, as no budget hasbeen allocated to Indonesia andtheir companies had decided to
spend their investment fundselsewhere.Chart 7.1

B. What will be the primary source of capital forthe Indonesian oil and gas industry over the nextve years?
As can be seen in Chart 7.2, the primary anticipatedsource of capital seems to be related party debt/
parent company funding, which is consistent with prior year surveys and not surprising as theindustry is dominated by a few large internationalplayers. The use of third party debt seems to haveremained the same as in our 2010 survey. Given thelow interest rates, we would have expected the useof third party debt to play a more substantial role.However, since the global nancial crisis, companiesmay be more careful in taking on additional debt. Itis interesting to see that the use of public equity hasdecreased from 15% in 2010 to only 5% in 2012.

C. Compared to 2010, how will the Indonesian oiland gas industry’s need for capital change overthe next ve years?
Not surprisingly a majority of the industry participants believe that the need for capital willcontinue to increase over the next ve years. Theanticipated increase in capital spending is likely to bea result of the increased focus on mature elds andmore remote (ie difcult) exploration/deepwateractivities which are more costly to run/operate. Thefact that industry participants expect the need for
capital to (signicantly) increase, but at the sametime expects less desire to allocate additional fundsmay be an early warning sign of problems goingforward.

“Because of the PSC structure project
nancing can be difcult in the Indonesianenvironment.“ Survey participant comment
The majority of the survey respondents indicated that they expected price of crude oil wouldremain in the US$101 – 120 perbarrel range for 2012 but eitherincrease to US$ 120 – 135, or
decrease to US$ 81 – 100 perbarrel in 2013 (the survey wasundertaken in early 2012 whenoil prices ranged between US$101and US$120 per barrel). Notsurprisingly, the further into thefuture the projection is carried, the
wider the range of responses from
participants. Although it shouldbe noted however that none of the participants thought that theprice of oil would go below US$81 – 100 per barrel. 6% of theparticipants indicated that they
though the price of oil wouldexceed US$ 135 per barrel in2014.

The 2012 survey results are probably not surprising given the recently issued regulations related to cost recovery and taxation. The 2012 survey participants are clearly more aligned in terms of the areas which aresignicantly important to the industry, namely 1). Contract sanctity, 2).Taxation, 3). Interference from other government agencies, such as the taxauthorities 4). Uncertainty over cost recovery and BP Migas / BPKP audit

“History will record that the past decade has seen a big increase in political interferencein the oil and gas industry and it is no
surprise that oil and gas production has beenadversely affected. Ours is an industry thatrequires long-term investment, longer thanthe government political cycles and only with contract sanctity and stability in theregulatory regime can that investment be
sustained. Our industry provides the bulk of the GDP for Indonesia yet has been hijackedby the Ministry of Finance as a result of
their incessant greed for a greater share of revenues. This has clearly stied investment,
particularly in the Exploration sector -comparative data shows that Indonesiacan no longer compete with its regionalneighbors.” Survey participant comment
As can be seen in chart 8.1, survey participants were generally neutral
or pessimistic on the development of these challenges over the next 12months. We noted that survey participants were slightly optimistic onthe anticipated developments on a number of challenges over the longerterm as they expect some improvements within the coming ve years.However, despite this, the survey participants also indicated that they don’t expect any signicant improvement for the remaining challengessuch as interference from other government agencies (including the taxauthorities), uncertainty over cost recovery and BP Migas / BPKP auditndings and contract sanctity. The main reason behind this somewhatpessimistic view may be that many of the challenges confronting Indonesia,such as KKN and judicial reform, require structural changes, which willtake time to implement.

Indonesia’s petroleum industry has for decades been viewed by internationalpetroleum investors as an attractive destination for investment however in
recent years there has been some concern that the country’s competitiveness isslipping.

It is interesting tonote that environmental regulations and ease of foreign ownership areregarded as signicant competitive features, especially since environmentalregulations had been classied as one of Indonesia’s least competitivefeatures in our 2010 survey. The fact that the political stability hasremained a competitive feature may be the result of increased governmentfocus on stability throughout the archipelago.

The fact that the views on theregulatory framework have remainedthe same is somewhat surprisingas there has been a lot of push back from the industry on the newly issued regulations on cost recovery
(e.g GR 79) and taxation.Thishighlights once more that survey participants value contract sanctity and do not appreciate any changesto existing contracts. This is probably also the reason why risk premiumscored lower compared to our 2010survey. It is interesting to note thatenvironmental regulations havenow become one of Indonesia’s mostcompetitive features, as they werelisted as one of Indonesia’s least
competitive features in 2010.
In addition, we asked survey participants their views on thedevelopments they expected in thecompetitiveness of these features. Asshown in charts 9.1 and 9.2, survey participants indicate that they believethat Indonesia’s most competitivefeatures will improve over the coming12 months and Indonesia’s lesscompetitive features will remain hesame, except for the scal framework
which they believe will get worseover the next 12 months. Should this
view persist it will not help to attractinvestors.
However it should be notedthat, similar to our 2010 survey,participants remain optimisticregarding the development of allfeatures over the coming 5 years.
In 2010, 2008 and 2005 PwCundertook similar surveys andincluded many of the competitivefeatures listed on the previouspage. Although not true in allrespects, we noted that Indonesiaseems to have continuously lostcompetitiveness in several areascompared with the results fromprevious surveys, or at best isstaying the same.

Indonesia’s competitiveness compared to other oil & gasproducing countries
Although no signicant changes compared to the 2010 survey results, itseems that survey participants are slightly more optimistic and expect someimprovement on certain challenges in the one to ve year window, albeitthis is a less overwhelming perspective than in our 2010 survey. This may be because the majority of these challenges are regarded as structural andrequire a long time to achieve real improvement.
Survey participants were asked to rate the relative competitiveness of different countries in comparison with Indonesia on four different features,namely geological prospects (including access to acreage), infrastructure,political stability and regulatory framework.

As can be seen in chart 9.3 onthe previous page, geologicalprospectivity remains one of Indonesia’s most competitivefeatures. Of the countries includedin the survey, only Norway, Angola,
the USA and the UAE are seen to havebetter geological prospects. DespiteIndonesia’s young democracy, thecountry was also rated favorably on political stability with only Norway, China and the USA being
viewed more favorably. Surprisingly,Indonesia was rated positively oninfrastructure, with only the UAE,the USA, and China rated more
favorably. This can may be able tobe partly explained by the resultsof an aggressive program that theGoI has put in place to increaseinvestment in infrastructureprojects. Survey participants
rated the regulatory framework in Indonesia as above the middlerelative to its peers, with somecountries scoring higher and somescoring lower than Indonesia.

As can be seen in chart 10.1, themajority (58%, 2010: 60%) of thesurvey participants indicated thatthe recent high prole arrests inrelation to corruption are having apositive impact on the perception of
Indonesia’s commitment to ghtingcorruption. In addition, it should benoted that still 42% is of the opinionthat the GoI’s approach has a positiveimpact on perception of commitmentto ghting corruption. This may bean indication that survey participantsare remaining skeptical about theeffectiveness of the GoI’s approach toghting KKN.
The GoI issued its revised Energy Mix in 2012 calling for greaterdiversication of the country’senergy mix. As part of this debatethe country‘s policymakers havebeen discussing the development
of nuclear energy to fuel aportion of Indonesia’s futureenergy needs. We asked survey participants if they believed thecountry was ready for nuclearenergy and if it possessed therequisite knowledge and expertiseto operate a nuclear power plant.

Readiness for nuclear energy
As shown in charts 10.2 and 10.3, survey participants believe that Indonesia is not yet ready for nuclearenergy. The main reasons behind this reluctance may be the lack of knowledge and the risks associated with
volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and terrorism. However, as Indonesia will eventually run out of oil, it isdenitely something that could be considered in due course.

More incentives for the development of geothermal energy needed?
Indonesia holds 40 percent of the world’s potential geothermal energy reserves, but ranks third for energy output after the United States andthe Philippines. At a geothermalconference in Bali, President SusiloBambang Yudhoyono indicated thathe intends for Indonesia to becomethe biggest user of geothermal energy in the world.
“Geothermal isthe best renewableenergy.” Survey participant comment
Survey participants clearly seethat CBM and geothermal are
viable alternatives for oil and gas.In order to stimulate the use of
these alternative energy sources,they indicated that the GoIshould provide more incentives.The fact that 87% of the survey participants indicated that they believe that more incentivesshould be given, supports this
view, especially since it hasincreased from 64% in 2010.

2012 survey
Despite the problems and issuesnoted in the earlier sections of the survey, investors are notcurrently considering leavingIndonesia, mainly due to the good
geological prospects. Althoughit should be noted that 27% of the participants indicated thatthey were considering leavingIndonesia, and that this was only 15% in 2010, so there is clearly achange in sentiment. However,53% (2010: 30%) of the survey participants indicated that they are satised with the returns they are getting on their investmentin Indonesia and 59% are
pessimistic about improvementsover the next ve to ten years.The fact that investors are not

with high commodity prices.
In addition, in 2010 27 % of the participants indicatedthey anticipated signicantimprovements in return from oiland gas industry in Indonesia,in 2012 this percentage hasincreased to 41%. In addition, theparticipants who indicated “don’tknow” have remained the same asin 2010. These developments may be an indication that althoughIndonesia is still regarded as
attractive for investors, the“shine” is wearing off.

Conclusion
0
As this is the fth edition of theoil and gas survey, we have been
able to identify trends in survey participant’s perception of variouschallenges facing the industry andthe competitive features of theIndonesian oil and gas industry.Overall, survey participants indicatedthat Indonesia is still regarded asattractive; however the “shine”seems to be wearing off. Thegeneral downwards shift in survey participants’ sentiment which wealready reported in our 2010 survey
seems to have continued, which is notgood for investment.
Geological prospectivity has alwaysbeen Indonesia’s most competitivefeature, followed by the presenceof a trained workforce and politicalstability. The survey participantsindicated that they expect globaland Indonesian demand for oil andgas to increase over the coming
years. Survey participants indicatedthat they expect that there is stillsignicant oil and gas reserves to be
g
discovered in Indonesia. Similar toprevious survey results, they expect
that there are likely to be more gasreserves to be discovered than oilreserves. According to the survey participants, these new oil and gasreserves are likely to be found inEastern Indonesia (Papua, Maluku,etc).
Although this is a positive for theindustry, the majority of the survey participants indicated that they expect their capital spending to
decrease or stay the same over thenext 5 years. Only 38% indicated thatthey expect their capital spending to(signicantly) increase. This outlook is not a positive signal given thelong-term nature of the industry andneed to plan far in advance beforeinvestments reap measurable returns.This pessimistic view is a worryingdevelopment as the GoI is keen tosee an increase in investment in theIndonesian oil and gas industry.

Staring Down the BarrelConclusion
Similar to our 2010 survey, themajority of the survey participantsexpect to encounter difculties inattracting sufcient skilled humanresources. Although 59% of thesurvey participants indicated thatIndonesia does not have sufcientskilled staff to perform the requiredactivities, the trained work force
remains a competitive aspect of the industry in Indonesia. Theoil and gas industry has a longhistory in this country, which hasresulted in a large, well educated
workforce, especially of geologistsand engineers. The experience andexposure gained by the workforcethrough employment by internationaloil and gas companies has enhancedtheir competence and expertise inthese companies’ operations.
We noted that the top 5 issues haveremained more or less the samefor a number of years. The majorchallenges facing the industry thatremained in the top ve of the leastcompetitive aspects of the Indonesianoil and gas industry are:
• Contract sanctity
• Taxation
• Interference from other
government agencies, such as thetax authorities
The troubling fact is that, similarto the 2010 survey, the survey participants do not expect signicantchange (i.e. improvement) within thenext 5 years for the above mentionedissues. They indicated that they expect the situation for these issuesto improve slightly.
On a positive note, survey participantsexpect slightly more improvementin relation to corruption, collusionand nepotism. This is a positive,
as it conrms that the GoI is onthe right path and its signicantefforts in ghting KKN are beingrecognised.
Overall one can conclude that,in order to remain competitive,it is critical that the investmentclimate in Indonesia continues
to improve. In order to attractmore investment Indonesia needsregulatory clarity, consistency,certainty and competitiveness.
However, it would not be fairto only look at the areas whichneed improvement. Indonesiahas become more attractive forinvestors in some respects. This ispartly due to the new initiativesof the Indonesian Government,
for example the opening up of CBM acreage. The Government of Indonesia needs to stay focusedon the issues highlighted in thissurvey and ensure that properaction is taken.
We believe that the Presidentand the relevant ministriesand government ofcials areaware of the need to develop anenvironment conducive to doingbusiness, in addition to providingscal incentives. However, therecent Presidential InstructionNo.2/2012 in regard to oilproduction testies to this. Basedon the responses of the survey participants, it is clear that theindustry is keen and supportsthe current government to takethe necessary action to achieve abetter business environment.
