UOP LLC was recently selected by PT Pertamina to develop a master plan to improve operational flexibility and augment the production of petrochemicals. Pertamina is Indonesian state-owned oil and natural gas corporation based in Jakarta. UOP will prepare a “bankable feasible study” to recommend modernization plans for five largest refineries of Pertamina. These include refineries in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan; Cilacap, Central Java; Dumai, Riau; Plaju, South Sumatra; and Balongan, West Java. The feasibility study, partially funded by a US$1.07 million grant from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, will focus on viable methods for upgrading the refineries for processing heavier lower-quality crude oil. At the same time, UOP will also evaluate the viability of a centralized terminal for crude imports.
