Energy Services
Indika Energy’s two core
businesses in the energy services sector are Tripatra and the newly
acquired Petrosea. Tripatra is Indonesia’s leading provider
of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services,
operations and maintenance (O&M), and logistics activities.
World-class customers with long-term contracts such as ExxonMobil,
BP, Chevron, Pertamina, ConocoPhillips, and Hess, among many
others, attest to Tripatra’s 37-year track record and
capabilities across the energy services sector.
Significant projects oil and gas included the completion of the
Ujung Pangkah Field Development in East Java and its extension work
for BUT HESS in 2009. This ran parallel to the Jambi Merang Field
Development projects, a joint-venture between BUT HESS and JOB
Pertamina in Jambi, Sumatra and the Flexible Joint Management
Project for Chevron in Riau, Sumatera. Blanket Engineering Services
for BP is expected to run through 2010.
In extending its logistics support and transportation services,
Tripatra’s investment, PT Sea Bridge Shipping which provides
coal transhipment and barging services began operations in January
2009, with an impressive 5.9 million tonnes handled by year end. In
2008, Tripatra increased its ownership in PT Kuala Pelabuhan
Indonesia from 49.99% to 100% by direct acquisition of 95% and
indirect acquisition of 5% through Tripatra (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.
PT Kuala Pelabuhan Indonesia (KPI) operates Freeport
Indonesia’s port and logistics facilities in Papua.
As a result, Tripatra completed 2009 with strong revenues totalling
Rp. 1.2 trillion (US$ 130.4 million) and a Net Profit of Rp. 29.9
billion (US$ 3.2 million).
Petrosea, which was acquired by Indika Energy in 2009, is a
multidisciplinary company with a track record in engineering,
construction and contract mining with total
“pit-to-port” capability in Indonesia since 1972.
Petrosea’s expertise in conducting feasibility studies,
engineering and construction, and contract mining completed the
energy value-chain for Indika Energy which had strengths in
identification, acquisition and excavation of a mine, and the
loading terminal operations and shipment to power plant and
end-user.
In addition, Petrosea’s 50% interest in the Santan Batubara
mine has reserves of 50.3 million tonnes and an annual production
of 2.5 million tonnes, and it will serve as the venture’s EPC
and mining contractor. Petrosea joined Indika Energy with a strong
list of work at hand by end 2009 projects worth US$ 672.2 million,
including the PT Adimitra Baratama Nusantara coal mining project
worth US$ 183.2 million, PT Santan Batubara coal mining project
valued at US$ 221.6 million, Gunungbayan Pratamacoal coal mining
project worth US$ 243.8 million, POSB worth US$ 12.2 million, Tirta
Kencana Cahaya Mandiri project worth US$ 7 million and the Orica
Ammonia Nitrate project management support contract worth US$ 4.4
million. In the second half of 2009, after the acquisition of
Petrosea, PT Adimitra Baratama Nusantara mining project valued at
US$ 190.8 million was added to the list.
The Petrosea Offshore Supply Base (POSB) facilities for Total
Indonesie, ENI Bukat, Chevron, Halliburton, MISwaco and ExxonMobil
was worth US$ 56.9 million and slated for completion in 2010. The
POSB fully-occupied facilities today includes an inner and outer
quay, shore and crawler cranes, comprehensive storage (undercover
and open totalling 93,500 square metres) for oil and diesel (4,000
and 3,000 cubic metres respectively), barite silos and cement
silos, drill and fresh water, cargo and chemical drum areas,
fullserviced offices with machine and workshop facilities.
Another indirect benefit to Indika Energy the acquisition of
Petrosea brings is the reduction of the Group’s exposure to
the business cyclicality. Like Tripatra, most of these
companies’ revenues are contractual and linked to the
Indonesian coal mining, and oil and gas sectors.
At the start of 2009, Indika Energy began to integrate all its
Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) operations to
synergise the benefits for the Group. The approach focused on
securing corporate data, integrating business solutions, and
leverage on existing investments to expand the support for the
Company’s business processes and objectives. This resulted in
all the ICT staff being integrated as a single unit to provide
common service to all operations, as well as the data centres to
improve economies of scale and enhanced security. The existing
infrastructure was reviewed to build in capacities for future
growth, including extending service levels to remote sites,
increase operational transparency, reduce cycle times in delivering
business solutions, widening the user base while enabling effective
collaboration among different user groups, and increase efficiency
in responding to solving problems. In aiming to become a
world-class operator, Indika Energy’s ICT capability will
include an enterprisewide end-to-end virtualisation environment
which will allow for “cloud” computing within the
corporation and deliver cost saving benefits.
The Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) was setup to enhance
the integration of business and information management across the
Group. The ERP consisted of several stages: beginning with
financial control and standardised account charts across the
Company to favour automated systems, to other areas such as
procurement, fixed asset management, corporate planning and budget,
human capital systems and treasury cash management. This will
enhance Indika Energy’s administrative operations and improve
the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of executive decision
making process.
