"Every BP mainstream business is represented here, from upstream (BP West Java, Tangguh and VICO) to downstream (Castrol) and petrochemicals (PT AMI). Two important events led to BP’s current position in Indonesia. The first was the acquisition of ARCO in 2000. The second was the go-ahead by the Indonesian Government on 6 March 2005 for the Tangguh Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project in Bintuni Bay of Papua Barat. Tangguh LNG is a huge undertaking that will involve the tapping of around 14.4 trillion cubic feet of clean gas. The land acquired for the processing facility measures 3,200 hectares, much of which will remain a ‘green zone’. "

"ConocoPhillips has had a presence in Indonesia for more than 40 years, and its producing assets are concentrated in two core areas, the South Natuna Sea and onshore South Sumatra. ConocoPhillips has seven production sharing contracts (PSCs) comprising about 12.3 million gross acres. Four PSCs are offshore: South Natuna Sea Block B PSC, Ketapang PSC, Amborip VI PSC and Kuma PSC. The remaining three PSCs are onshore: Corridor Block PSC and South Jambi ‘B’ PSC in South Sumatra and Warim PSC in Papua. "

" Freeport Indonesia mines, processes and explores for ore containing copper, gold and silver. It operates in the remote highlands in the province of Papua, Indonesia, which is on the western half of the island of New Guinea. PT Freeport Indonesia markets its concentrates containing copper, gold and silver worldwide. Our Grasberg mining complex produces both copper and gold. We began open-pit mining of the Grasberg ore body in 1990. Open-pit operations are expected to continue until mid-2015, at which time the Grasberg underground mining operations are scheduled to begin. Grasberg is at the heart of a highly prospective minerals district, where ongoing exploration is providing opportunities to continue to add to our long-lived reserves. "

The origins of the oil industry in Indonesia and those of what subsequently became Royal Dutch Shell plc are closely connected. Shell's historical links with Indonesia are strong. The discovery of commercial quantities of crude oil in Sumatra just over 100 years ago led directly to the formation of Royal-Dutch Petroleum. Shell Companies in Indonesia (SCI), is the term used for convenience to apply to the compilation of individual Shell companies in Indonesia, with each individual company forming part of the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company/ Shell group, a worldwide leading oil and gas company. Although The Royal Dutch Shell plc was established in The Hague in 1890, the history of Shell in Indonesia can be traced back to 1884 when a Dutch man, Aeilko Jans Zijlker, discovered traces of oil in Sumatra. With a license obtained from the local ruler, Sultan Langkat, he drilled his first well, but it was dry. A year later, he drilled Telaga Tunggal 1 in Pangkalan Brandan in North Sumatra. This time he struck oil and Telaga Tunggal 1 began to produce in commercial quantities.
