Yohanes Widjanarko will remain as the Deputy Chairman, supported by five deputies, including two new ones, namely Aussie Gautama as Deputy of Planning Control (a former employee of Total EP Indonesie) and Gerhard M. Rumeser Deputy of Business Support Control (previously Deputy of General Affairs).

The other three are Muliawan as Deputy of Operation Control (previously the Head of Production Operation Division), Widhyawan Prawiraatmadja Deputy of Commercial Control (previously Deputy of Planning Control) and Akhmad Syakhroza Deputy of Financial Control.
