The government plans to hold tender for small-scale oil refinery projects in three clusters this year.
This was said by Oil and Gas Downstream Development Director at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Tri Utami in a statement on Wednesday. ?We have set a target for three clusters, hopefully can be more,? she said, but did not disclose the location of planned mini refineries.
The government plans to develop mini refineries in eight clusters including Cluster I-North Sumatra (Rantau and Pangkalan Susu), Cluster II-Selat Panjang Malaka (EMP Malacca Strait and Petroselat), Cluster III-Riau (Tonga, Siak, Pendalian, Langgak, West Area, Kisaran), Cluster IV-Jambi (Palmerah, Mengoepeh, Lemang and Karang Agung), Cluster V-Sumatera Selatan (Merangin II and Ariodamar), Cluster VI-Kalimantan Selatan (Tanjung), Cluster VII-North Kalimantan (Bunyu, Sembakung, Mamburungan and Pamusian Juwata), and Cluster VIII-Maluku (Oseil and Bula).
In December of last year, the government held tender for mini refinery project in Cluster VIII, or Maluku region.
