Indonesia Energy Security


Existence of foreign companies threaten the sovereignty of Indonesia.

State makes a big mistake while processing resources into a strategic overhaul by type of business.

Strategic mineral resources exploitation as a commodity increasingly out of control with the implementation of regional autonomy.

From British Petroleum Statistic data found that Indonesia only has coal reserve 4.3 billion ton or 0.5% from coal world reserve. Compare to China has 114.5 billion ton or 13.9% from coal world reserve.

Indonesia average coal production is 340million per year and 240million to export (a part to China) so coal reserve only enough for 20years.

If this is left, Indonesia threatened to be an importer of oil and coal

About oil and gas...

Of the total 225 blocks are managed without cooperation contracts Pertamina, foreign companies working 120 blocks.

Oil and gas sector to foreign domination and endanger the sovereignty of the state mining.

If there are small fluctuations in homeland security, they might send an aircraft carrier in the name of keeping the assets and citizens.

Without sovereign control of resources as possible to a sovereign state.

This is different from China and Singapore which power can controlled so that the above decision can be executed.
