The government has established a special team to implement tighter control over and abolish dirty syndicate practices in the oil and gas sector. This measure is being applauded by many commentators, who also hope the team can open up disclosure of information on the oil and gas sector and raise public control over the sector.
Rumadi Ahmad, Commissioner of the Central Public Information Commission (Komisi Informasi Pusat/KIP), said that such disclosure on the oil and gas sector will be an entry point to unveil alleged conspiracies in the sector.
“The oil and gas sector is still a hot bed for dirty conspirators both domestic and foreign, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), executives and even legislators. These practices have led to hundreds of trillion of rupiah in losses to the State,” stated Mr. Ahmad.
The public’s limited access to information on the oil and gas sector has led to a lack of oversight over the sector. On this specific issue, Mr. Ahmad said that Law No. 22 of 2011on Oil and Gas emphasizes mechanisms for responsible and transparent supervision over all activities in the sector, including exploration, exploitation, processing, transporting, and trading.
In particular, Mr. Ahmad highlighted the importance of implementing more transparency in relation to disclosure of important information on oil and gas businesses. For instance, cost recovery, the sale and purchase of oil, bids for work areas (wilayah kerja), contract extensions, allocation of sales of natural gas, and determination of sub-contractors for support services.
“These areas are very attractive areas for corruption and dirty syndicates to take place,” added Mr. Ahmad.
Demanding Transparency from Pertamina
A lack of transparency has become one of the main issues to be addressed by the special team led by Faisal Basri. Several weeks ago, the team condemned Pertamina’s unwillingness to disclose information on procurement of oil fuel, especially related purchases by Pertamina Energy Trading Limited (Petral).
The reform team discovered that instead of buying oil fuel directly from foreign national oil companies, Petral chooses to use a trader as an intermediary to import oil fuel, which has resulted in additional costs. In response, Pertamina claims that the Pertal bought the oil fuel directly from the national oil company.
