Finding The Best Strategy during Low Oil Price Regime
for Oil & Gas Companies in Indonesia

The Rapid Decline: From $104/Barrel

High Profit Margin Is Quickly Gone Away
The range of lifting cost for oil and gas companies in Indonesia is estimated between $20-40/bbl, so I use the simple average $30/bbl
} High Margin
} Low Margin
Current Common Strategy?
•Review big capital projects: hold, reschedule or “kill”
•Reduction of operating expense (including review of structure organisation, headcount, facilities )
•Renegotiation with suppliers and contractors
…And Waiting Oil Price to Increase?
NO! We cannot just wait for the increasing oil price
Oil price can’t be controlled
by Indonesian government
nor companies Too many factors; All are externals
Our focus should be on the other part of the equation…

Remember…
Majority of existing oil & gas fields in Indonesia is “brown field”: old age, declining production, increasing operation/maintenance cost
While the new fields,
Most probably located in more remote spots or deep water (which might not be economics in the current low oil price regime)
A new strategy and operating model to ensure oil and gas industry in Indonesia survive and thrive in the future
A new way of thinking is needed.
Design for value
Lean Operating Model
What strategy?
All require higher TRUST among all stakeholders: government, O&G companies, suppliers, contractors
Innovative Collaboration
Design and plan the business using the low oil price as the new normal; for long term
Design for value
Push The Current Cost Reduction Initiative Further

“Fit for purpose” design/engineering equipment/technology facilities
Redesign the business:
But There Are Room For ImprovementsBy Challenging The Current Practices
Technical: e.g. Does the current design fit the low oil price?
Standardisation: e.g. Can we reduce the variation in design, equipment, process, technology?
Organisation: e.g. Do we need that many layers and approval level?
Safety Is Still No 1 Priority
Key Focus: Procurement, Supply Chain Management and Core Processes (e.g. POP or Well Down Response process)
Lean Operating Model
DISCOVERING “FACTORY” IN OIL & GAS COMPANIES
With the low profit margin, we need to run critical and repetitive processes like a factory.
The good news?
The Information Technology can enable this operating model.
Many oil & gas companies have been embracing Lean key principles
to make people, process, and products FLOW seamlessly.
Currently, Many (Repetitive) Process Are Disintegrated
Process is planned & managed in departmental centric organisation that Is based on specialisation, such as Sub Surface, Surface, Drilling, Maintenance, Production

To Make A Seamless Process, A New Operating Model Is Needed
Manage the core and repetitive processes through the real value stream. The advance of IT such as existing collaboration tools ENABLE end-to-end process seamlessly

Example#1: Lean Contract Development Process
Contract process is highly repetitive and involving cross functional team. This kind of process could be designed to be faster and less rework process through a a single dashboard view and tracking.

Example#2: Lean Put On Production (P O P) Process
POP is another example of process that is repetitive and involving cross functional team. We can design POP faster with less rework by integrating the end-to-end process and make them transparent through a a single dashboard scheduling.

Embracing the industrial internet, holistic-system thinking and the sharing economy as the new paradigm
Innovative Collaboration
+
OIL & GAS COMPANIES SHOULD MOVE TOWARDS INDUSTRIAL INTERNET
Collaboration Within A Company: Machines Connectivity + Big Data
Connecting critical machines equipments from upstream to downstream could improve efficiency, reliability and response time of the entire value stream. For the exploration and development segment alone it is estimated could reduce 1% of capital expenditure, an estimated $90 Billion over 15 years lifetime.*

Collaboration Among Companies-Suppliers-Regulators
Regulations, Policies, and Business Process Procedure should be revisited with a new mindset: system thinking. It requires TRUST to collaborate among the stakeholders
CompanySuppliers/Contractors
Customers Regulators
Stakeholders
Adopting the platform/sharing economy (like eBay, Tokopedia or even Uber, Gojek) to improve efficiency of logistics and inventories across ALL oil & gas companies in Indonesia? Fund innovators/startups to work on this (old) idea with better technology and system/process/procedure?
Future Collaboration?
Design for value

Strategy to the new normal
A new paradigm is needed
