There is no good reason why CMB should not succeed in Indonesia and much has been achieved in the three years since the 2010 Article was written. It would be unfair to place all the blame for the relative lack of progress in the production of CMB on the Indonesia Government and its regulatory agencies.Certainly a more proactive, practical and supportive approach is required from Government . However,it is also incumbent on CMB PSC contractors to do their part to ensure they have the focus,budget and capability to execute drilling, appraisal and development campaigns effectively and cost efficiently. CMB PSC contractor and the holder of other types of tenure will each need to cooperate in good faith with each other, potentially across PSC boundaries, in order to achieve the optimum result in terms of CBM reserves increment. There is currently a kind of chicken and egg situation where Government needs reassurance that CMB reserves exist before giving development approvals and the PSC contractor cannot proceed to demonstrate commerciality without relevant Government approvals (including the approval of the PoD).This is also the situation with conventional gas developments but the longer timeline for proving up CMB reserves exacerbates the issues Although not an issues confined to Indonesia,the ability of the smaller/mind-size player in Indonesian CMB space to attract finance for full field developments is also somewhat dependent on the prior proving up of reserves,as opposed to contingent resource. A ‘leap of faith ’is required by Government,PSC contractors,funding partners,financiers and customers in order for large-scale CMB projects to become a reality in Indonesia.
