Oil and Gas in Indonesia: Investment, Taxation and Regulatory Guide - 13th Edition

In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid transformation in the macroeconomic landscape, with sustainability taking centre-stage. However, this shift in focus presents a challenge, as many countries still heavily rely on fossil fuels for their energy needs and daily necessities, including petrochemical products. Recognising the need to balance sustainability with energy and petrochemical product demand, the investment climate for oil and gas has become even more crucial. In response, the Indonesian government has implemented alternative solutions, such as the establishment of a carbon credit market to promote emission offsetting. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on carbon capture & storage (CCS) as a prominent solution, given Indonesia’s immense potential in this area. These initiatives align with the government’s broader focus on energy transition, aiming to strike a balance between energy demand and economic growth, and the country’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060. 

This edition of the guide focuses on updating readers on the latest tax, regulatory and commercial changes since our previous edition, with a deep dive into the energy transition in Indonesia.

Oil and Gas in Indonesia: Investment and Taxation Guide 2023 - 12th Edition

Over the past three years, the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical instability from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, energy supply disruption and price volatility resulted in an unpredictable macroeconomic situation. The uncertainty has highlighted the "energy trilemma", with the competing interests of energy supply, affordability and environmental sustainability causing energy companies and governments across the world to re-think their net zero strategies. This edition of the guide focuses on updating readers on the latest tax, regulatory and commercial changes since our previous edition, with a brief update on the energy transition in Indonesia.

Oil and Gas in Indonesia: Investment and Taxation Guide 2020 - 11th Edition

As we write, the world still finds itself in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and so we have decided not to do a full update of our Guide, but rather to focus only on the latest tax and regulatory changes that have occurred from when we issued our last Guide in the last quarter of 2019 up to the end of the third quarter of 2020. The updates have been provided in the form of a summary of changes presented at the beginning of each section. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and uncertainty in the macroeconomic situation are the biggest concerns for stakeholders in the oil and gas industry in Indonesia similar to their counterparts around the world. We have attempted to summarise the changes in key regulations the Government of Indonesia has issued as a response in these uncertain times.

2020 Digital Operation Study for Energy - Oil and Gas

Even before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy industry had been undergoing profound technological disruption. The “fracking revolution”, the rise of renewable energy, improvements in battery storage, a strong push for a hydrogen economy and the electrification of transport represent opportunities for transformation as well as a fundamental competitive threat. These new technologies – combined with digitization – can bring new skill sets and cost efficiencies to the energy, utilities and resources (EU&R) sector, even before they open the door to new competitors. Seen in this context, COVID-19 represents one more challenge in the complex set of issues the EU&R sector has already been grappling with.

Drilling for Data - a Pragmatic Perspective on Demystifying Digitization in Oil and Gas

 

The oil and gas sector is making significant strides in digitization. After a few years of carrying out small-scale pilots, a number of oil companies are now leading the way. They have recruited chief digital officers, have designed digital strategies and established business units to promote them, have partnered with technology firms, and are striving to create a culture that nurtures new ways of working. We are witnessing a proliferation of technologies being deployed in the field, whether it’s the use of so-called digital twins to optimize production or drones carrying out offshore inspections.

Oil and Gas in Indonesia: Investment and Taxation Guide 2018 - 9th Edition

This 9th edition of the PwC Indonesia "Oil and Gas in Indonesia - Investment and Taxation Guide" released in May 2018 captures the latest tax and regulatory updates that have occurred in the oil and gas industry over the past year, including our early views on the new "Gross Split" PSCs.

The development of the oil and gas industry in Indonesia has been successful in many areas, including the pioneering of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) model and the commercialisation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). However, oil production has waned over recent years, with Indonesia's production and opportunity profile moving steadily away from oil and towards gas - a trend which is likely to continue.

Investment and Taxation Guide ─ 8th edition

The eighth edition of PwC Indonesia Oil and Gas in Indonesia ─ Investment and Taxation Guide 2017 captures the latest tax and regulatory changes that have occurred in the oil and gas industry during the past two years. Oil and gas production has a long and relatively successful history in Indonesia, with the sector historically characterized by its relatively stable and well-understood regulatory framework. In many years, including the development of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) model and the commercialization of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Indonesia has been an international pioneer.

Oil and Gas in Indonesia

Investment and Taxation Guide – 7th edition

The 7th edition captures the latest tax and regulatory changes that have occurred in the oil and gas industry during the past two years.

The industry is arguably now in a transitional phase, with a growing domestic need for gas (both for consumers and industrial use), the commencement of LNG imports and the construction of further LNG regasification units - all amid chronically low crude oil prices. Indonesia’s production and opportunity profile has also moved steadily away from oil and towards gas - a trend which may ultimately represent a permanent shift. In short, the age of relative stability in this sector has probably passed. The pace of change is likely only to accelerate. It is hoped that this guide will provide readers with the information necessary to better understand these dynamics.

Forging the Power and Water Markets of the Future

Power and water market design varies significantly across the Middle East (ME), Africa and Asia. But policy-makers everywhere face the common challenge of ensuring outcomes are consistent with their policy targets and investment requirements. In many locations, water resources are stretched. And as power systems become more decentralised, the need to balance energy resilience with flexibility is adding a new tension to the central trilemma of reliability, affordability and sustainability.

The Narrowing Window for Energy Transformation

PwC has released the findings of its 15th Global Power and Utilities Survey in November 2018. Between September and October 2018, we gathered the views of 118 power and utility company executives from over 100 companies and 56 different countries or territories in Europe, the Americas, Asia–Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The Europe region includes Russia. 

Global energy transformation is gathering pace, driven by the twin forces of changing customer expectations and rapid technological evolution. In response, companies must undertake a strategic shift to prepare for new energy markets. Yet 82 percent of utility executives in our latest Global Power & Utilities Survey say their company is not yet ready for the transformation. In the meantime, new players from outside the sector are sizing up opportunities in energy markets around the world.

This Guide has been written as a general investment and taxation guide for all stakeholders and those interested in the power sector in Indonesia.

This edition of the Guide has been updated to reflect the regulations issued in late 2017 to mid 2018 (which are notably fewer and less substantial than last year). However, in this edition we have placed a greater focus on the tracking of actual transactions and project implementation, particularly in light of the wave of Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) signed last year.

We hope readers find our comments on these developments helpful but reinforce the interpretational uncertainty that exists around the regulatory environment in Indonesia.

Chemicals Trends 2018-2019: A tipping point of profitability

Prodded by accelerating technology advances, which are shaping customer purchases and needs, some chemicals companies have begun to rethink their growth strategies, finally moving away from cost-cutting and retrenchment, toward more nimble, coherent, and aggressive business models. Timidity and contraction are giving way to new ways of navigating and benefitting from mergers and acquisitions, digital products and services, and even political forces affecting global trade. Although this trend is nascent, it is nonetheless significant and could place the chemicals industry on a path to improved performance in the short-term and offer better prospects for long-term growth.
