• Hence, pipeline capacity of the country is expected to grow slightly in the forecast period due to an increase in oil consumption in the country and increase in investments in the sector.

Increase in Investments to Drive the Market

• Indonesia has a total oil storage capacity of 4.8 million kilolitres. Pertamina owns around 87% of the capacity. While over 40% of the capacity is in the Island of Java, which has the most significant demand, the Riau Islands close to Singapore have significant capacity growth. Largest of gas storage is the UPMS-III site, owned by Pertamina which provides for around 1,235,850 kiloliters billion cubic meters of space.
• Pertamina is expected to strengthen the midstream infrastructure to distribute fuel and LPG. The Maumere BBM Terminal is expected to increase the fuel storage tank capacity from 20,000 Kiloliters (KL) to more than 85,000 KL and served as the primary point supply in the East Nusa Tenggara region
• Production of oil increased, by, consumption of natural gas increased in the country, by 3.1%, year on year, from 73.8 million tons of oil equivalent (mtoe), in 2015 to 83.4 mtoe, in 2018. The oil production in the country decreased to 39.5 million tons, in 2018 from 41 million tons, in 2017. An increase in consumption is expected to boost growth in the market.
• Hence, Indonesia oil and gas midstream is expected to witness growth in the forecast period due to an increase in investment in the region.
