As Indonesia Faces Oil Crisis, Threat Looms Over Transport Energy Demands

Previously,
Indonesia had oil reserves up to 27 billion barrels. However, only 3.7 billion
barrels are left, due to years of massive production and consumption since
2003.
The
data from Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKKMigas) Public
Relations Department Head Elan Biantoro, quoted by Kompas.comon September 5, 2015, also indicated that the oil reserves
will last for only around 10 more years.
"Our
country previously had up to 27 billion barrels; however, around 22.9 billion barrels
have already been extracted. Only 3.7 billion barrels remain,” he said.
Rate
of consumption exceeds availability. The oil produced is only half the amount of
fuel consumed, SKKMigaspublic relations representative Dian Sulistiawan was
quoted saying by Antara on August 30,
2017.
"The
national level of fuel consumption has reached 1.6 million barrels per day,
meanwhile the production capacity is only 834,000 barrels per day," he said.
According
to him, if people's fuel consumption does not decrease, more fuel has to be
imported, and it will burden the state’s budget. On the other hand, it is hard
to improve the production while energy crisis looms over upstream oil and gas
industry.
The
people, as fuel consumers, need solutions to this problem. Various alternatives
can be chosen, such as renting vehicles that can be used by a group of people,
not only individuals.
Renting
vehicles also means decreasing the number of vehicles on the road and directly reducingfuel
consumption. The servicealso gives sense of comfort by lessening burdens, for
instance time and energy spent during traffic jam.
Moreover,
renting vehicles for group will further increase efficiency. Various types of vehicles
are available, like the ones we have inour TRAC branches all over Indonesia.
There
are more than 40,000 ready-to-use vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, MPVs, and
buses. Not only improving efficiency, the vehicles provided by our company, an
ASTRA company under PT Serasi Autoraya (SERA), are certainly reliable, so are
our professional drivers.
Thus, there is no
need to compromise
comfort and security with efficiency amid the oil crisis hitting Indonesia.
