Pertamina CEO Dwi Soetjipt, talking to reporters at a Monday press conference, anticipated that the refinery would reduce Indonesia’s spending on fuel imports by around $10 million per day, which represents about a seventh of the country’s import fuel spending.
The refinery was shut down earlier this year on graft allegations in a case that cost the state an estimated $156 million.
Indonesia also announced its intent to rejoin <a href=’https://theenergyyear.com/companies-institutions/opec/’>OPEC after breaking from the organization in 2009, prompted by slowing production in maturing fields with a growth in energy demands which saw domestic crude oil imports surpass exports. Re-opening the refinery is seen as a step towards making the country less dependent on foreign imports.
