The upgrade of the Cilacap refinery is part of Pertamina’s Refinery Development Master Plan to improve Indonesia’s energy security and involves the expansion and upgrade of its domestic refineries.
Value
The project is expected to cost between $4-billion and $5-billion to complete.
Duration
The front-end engineering design stage is expected to be completed in 2018, with the start of the engineering, procurement and construction phase expected to start in 2019.
The project upgrade is targeted for completion by the end of 2022.
