The Government of Indonesia through Presidential Decree No. 5/2006 has set out a target for<br />

an optimum energy-mix by 2025. The contribution of each energy type to the total energy<br />

supply in year 2025 is expected to be changed to less than 20 % for oil, more than 30% for<br />

natural <strong>gas</strong>, more than 33% for coal, more than 5% for biofuel, more than 5% for geothermal<br />

and more than 5% for other new and renewable energy resources such as 1-2% for CBM and<br />

2% for liquefied coal, biomass, nuclear, hydro, solar and wind energy.<br />

The increase in the target for the contribution of natural <strong>gas</strong> to the energy mix, from 27% in<br />

year 2005 to more than 30% in year 2025, will place great pressure on the exploration for <strong>gas</strong><br />

resources. As the discovery of new conventional <strong>gas</strong> reserves is proving to be difficult, there<br />

is a need to develop alternative <strong>gas</strong> sources to meet the increasing demand. One of the most<br />

prospective alternative <strong>gas</strong> sources in Indonesia is Coalbed Methane (CBM).<br />

CBM POTENTIAL IN INDONESIA<br />

Indonesia has a large low rank coal deposits distributed within eleven onshore coal basins that<br />

are prospective for coalbed methane development (Figure 1).<br />

The potential for coalbed methane in Indonesia has been studied since early 1990’s and was<br />

pioneered by the Bandung Institute of Technology (Institut Teknologi Bandung, ITB). In 1998<br />

a joint study was conducted by Advanced Resources International Inc (ARI), PT Caltex<br />

Pacific Indonesia (CPI) and PERTAMINA. This study suggested an estimated CBM resource<br />

potential of 337 Tcf.<br />

ARI has also performed a comprehensive assessment of Indonesia’s CBM resources based on<br />

available petroleum and coal mining data. This study was supported by the Asian<br />

Development Bank and Directorate General of Oil and Gas (Ministry of Energy and Mineral<br />

Resources the Republic of Indonesia). It identified 453.3 Tcf of prospective CBM resources<br />

within the eleven onshore coal basins (Table 1).<br />
