Typical propaganda Perusahaan asing besar utk mendapat porsi lebih besar dalam bagi hasil..hehehe
cadangan terbukti kita masih besar, hanya saja, belum dikembangkan..., Laporan MIGAS menunjukkan di seantoro Nusantara masih ada 170an TCF gas alam yang bisa dikembangkan, if the price is right... memang cadangan gas di kalimantanm timur menipis, itu kan hukum lam yang telah diantisipasi,...karena penemuan baru yang "ekonomis" tidak terjadi Chevron sleama ini juga bukan gas player di Indonesia, kehadiran di KalTim hanya karena akuisisi Unocal tahun 2005. Kontribusi Unocal di Kaltim juga tidak sampai 30% dari total producers yang ada.. Soal harga, memang Indonesian domestic gas adalah over subsidied, dimana harga dunia sekitar $7/MMBTU, market oriented dan domestik sekitar $2-3.5/MMBTU flat long term contract.. Emang insentif investasi lokal tidak begitu tinggi sih, kecuali cadangan yang sangat besar. re. hmm supply limited, gas price might surge. but kalo gas abis, > perusahaan yg berhubungan dgn gas bakalan apa yg mau di dagangin lagi?? > > --- In [email protected], "jsx_consultant" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Indonesia's LNG Supremacy Wanes as Chevron's Fields Run Short >> Aug. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia may lose its dominance of the world's >> liquefied natural gas market because fields operated by producers >> such as Chevron Corp. are running out of gas faster than expected. >> >> San Ramon, California-based Chevron, which supplies gas to the >> world's largest liquefaction plant on the Indonesian part of Borneo >> Island, told Indonesia's government on July 17 there isn't enough gas >> to meet commitments to customers in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. >> Indonesia's LNG sales will fall 19 percent this year, according to >> government shipment plans. >> >> Indonesia, the world's top LNG supplier for three decades, is failing >> to find new supplies of gas just as prices and demand for the cleaner- >> burning fuel have surged to records.
