KEBIJAKAN EKSPOR LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) PT BADAK NGL OLEH PERTAMINA KE JEPANG TAHUN 2011 - 2020
Abstract: In February 2009,
Indonesian Government represented by Pertamina with Total E&P Indonesie and
Inpex Corporation signed an extension contract of LNG Badak exports with buyers
from Western Japan and will be applicable on 2011 to 2020. This decision led to
disagreement from several parties in the country due to the crisis which have
been suffered by the domestic industries so it can not operate properly as the
result of lack of gas supply to meet their needs. There are two factors that
influence the extend of the export contracts of LNG Badak to Japan which are
external factors and internal factors. External factors is because the
Indonesian Government indebted to the buyers of the Western Japan through Badak
refinery which amounts to 90 cargoes of liquefied natural gas or the value
equivalent to 19 trillion rupiah. This deficiency is an accumulation of the
previous export contract in 2006 until 2009. If Badak refinery can not fulfill
the shortage, the Indonesian Government should pay a compensation fee to the buyers
of Western Japan. Other external factors are the traditional factors which
Japan through ODA program has provided varieties of assistance to Indonesia in
order to contribute peace and development of the international community,
especially Indonesia. Internal factors based on Indonesia’s national interests
which includes domestic security, economic welfare and welfare of the people to
preserve and maintain the survival of the state. In order to achieve its
national interests, Indonesia held a bilateral cooperation with Japan through
oil and gas trade.
