Conference

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

A comprehensive overview of Indonesia’s national priorities for the downstream sector, this session examines the policy drivers and regulatory updates essential for accelerating domestic value-addition, enhancing energy security, and positioning the nation as a competitive global industrial hub. 

Room: Padang Room, Level 1

A leading industry champion shares an inside look at the large-scale projects and technological innovations currently reshaping Indonesia’s downstream landscape. The presentation showcases real-world progress in building world-class refining, petrochemical, and infrastructure solutions that drive national self-sufficiency and long-term economic resilience.

Asia-Pacific refineries face heightened exposure to global supply shocks due to their reliance on Middle Eastern crude and vulnerable transit routes such as the Strait of Hormuz. In this volatile environment, traditional optimisation is no longer sufficient. 

This presentation introduces the BRAVO framework, a practical approach to enable rapid execution, enhance crude flexibility, and leverage logistics optionality. It demonstrates how refineries can capture short-term margin opportunities while building long-term resilience through supply diversification and improved expediated knowledge-based decision-making.

• Aligning downstream expansion with national plans to drive GDP growth and ensure Indonesian industry remains globally competitive through 2045 

• Strategies for scaling domestic processing to reduce reliance on global commodity volatility and eliminate import dependency through self-sufficient industrial hubs 

• The role of transition fuels, coal-to-gas technologies, and Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) in maintaining energy security while meeting national emission targets 

• Integrating waste-to-value and resource recovery frameworks to provide sustainable, low-carbon power and feedstock for the downstream sector
