Abstract

Natural gas pipeline tariff regulation in Indonesia has historically been designed for investor-financed infrastructure, where tariffs must recover capital costs at a commercially determined weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The Semarang-Batang Transmission Pipeline (Cisem Phase I)—the first open-access transmission pipeline in Indonesia constructed under State Budget (APBN) financing—demands a fundamentally different tariff framework. This study develops and evaluates two alternative tariff formulation models tailored to government-funded infrastructure: (i) the State Capital Participation (PMN) scheme, which recovers capital at the government's retail sukuk coupon rate (IRR = 3.97%), and (ii) the State Property (BMN) scheme, which waives capital recovery entirely and charges only a management fee (CAPEX = 0). Results show that the BMN scheme delivers the lowest tariff of USD 0.279/MSCF, representing 55.7% below the conventional WACC-based tariff (USD 0.630/MSCF) and 25.0% below the PMN scheme (USD 0.372/MSCF). Sensitivity analysis confirms the BMN scheme's structural advantage: it eliminates IRR-driven tariff volatility and maximizes affordability for industrial end-users. These findings provide a replicable techno-economic framework and a practical policy basis for BPH Migas in determining transportation tariffs for APBN-financed pipeline infrastructure across Indonesia.

Abstract

Drilling mud is an essential tool in supporting the success of productive and economical oil and gas well drilling activities. Some chemical additives used to enhance the physical and rheological properties of mud tend to be toxic, non-biodegradable, and have negative environmental impacts. The use of household waste materials such as corn cobs, which can be reused as a natural polymer in drilling mud, presents a promising alternative. The separation of these materials serves the purpose of identifying a new type of polymer candidate, as they contain 41.27% cellulose, 46% hemicellulose, and 7.40% lignin, making them suitable for use as a polymer. The research involves analyzing the mud rheology, including plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength, filtration loss, and mud cake, using three samples of water-based mud containing 1.5 grams, 3 grams, and 4.5 grams of finely ground corn cobs. The samples are then tested at two different temperatures, 80ºF and 200ºF, to observe the behavior of corn cobs when circulated into the well and entering formations with higher temperatures. Changes in rheological values and filtration loss with each additive addition will serve as indicators of the feasibility of corn cobs as a biodegradable alternative additive containing cellulose in drilling mud.

Abstract

The increasing concentration  of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is significantly contributing to the critical exploration of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. Although deep saline aquifers offer substantial storage potential for CO2, their effective capacity is often constrained by rapid formation pressure buildup near injector wells and poses safety risks. Therefore, this study aims to propose an integrated strategy to optimize CO₂ storage capacity using pressure redistribution method in a thick carbonate saline aquifer located in Natuna D-Alpha Field, Indonesia. A dynamic numerical simulation is developed by integrating 2D seismic, well logs, core analysis (RCAL/SCAL), and geomechanical parameters derived from log data. The effectiveness of lateral and vertical pressure redistribution is evaluated through brine production wells (PWs) and multi-depth injection, respectively, followed by perforation configuration optimization.Various scenarios are simulated to compare total gas injected and reservoir pressure response against rock fracture limits. The results showed that storage capacity is limited due to the absence of pressure management (Base Case). The implementation of lateral pressure redistribution through brine production proves to be the most significant strategy, capable of increasing storage capacity by approximately 64% of the Base Case in high-rate production scenarios. Furthermore, vertical redistribution strategy using multi-depth injection obtains a 13% capacity increase and improves vertical pressure distribution. A combination of multi-depth injection and brine production shows positive synergy, generating a 44% capacity increase with a storage efficiency of 0.58%. The results also indicate that variations in well perforation geometric patterns (line vs. cross) have minimal impact compared to global pressure management strategies. In line with the analysis, this study finds that brine extraction and vertical injection management are essential to maximizing safe CO₂ storage in thick aquifers.
