田中贵金属工业确立了有助于提高半导体的微细化和持久性的钌成膜新工艺

23 6 月, 2022

TOKYO, Jun 23, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 田中贵金属集团旗下经营制造事业的田中贵金属工业株式会社（总公司：东京都千代田区、执行总裁：田中浩一朗）宣布确立了液态钌（Ru）前驱物"TRuST"的2段成膜工艺。"TRuST"是对氧和氢都有良好的反应性，并具有能形成更高纯度钌膜的特征的前驱物。本工艺是一种2段ALD成膜工艺（ALD＝Atomic Layer Deposition），先通过氢成膜形成较薄的防氧化膜，再通过氧成膜实现质量更高的钌膜成膜。通过这种方法，可消除因氧造成基板氧化的顾虑，同时还能抑制因氢成膜引起的钌纯度下降。在本开发的过程中，成膜工艺的设想方案由韩国岭南大学工科学院新材料工学部的SOO－HYUN, KIM教授提出，其成膜工艺的开发及评估由KIM教授和田中贵金属工业共同实施。由于通过本技术预计可实现半导体的进一步微细化和提高持久性，可期应用于要求执行更大容量数据处理的数据中心和智能手机，以及有助于要求更高水平技术革新的IoT和自动驾驶等的先进技术。■利用氧和氢的2段成膜工艺田中贵金属工业正在以钌为中心开发面向下一代半导体的更高纯度的贵金属前驱物。在进行成膜时，迄今为止的主流工艺是利用氧的1段成膜，此次成功地确立了利用氧和氢的2段成膜工艺。通过这种2段成膜的工艺，可通过氢成膜降低底层的表面氧化风险，并通过氧成膜实现钌纯度基本保持100%的更高纯度成膜。而且先通过氢成膜形成底层，在此基础上进行氧成膜所形成的钌膜也更平滑精密，可实现超越以往的更低电阻值。通常，随着膜厚的降低比电阻会增加，这是半导体成膜的一个课题。但是，此次确认到特别是在10 nm以下的区域内，通过在氧成膜的基础上，利用氢实施2段成膜，可进一步实现更低电阻值。今后，随着半导体尺寸进一步缩小，预计对于钌膜也有更薄更低电阻成膜的需求，利用2段成膜将有可能解决这个课题。此外，本次宣布的由2段成膜形成的电阻更低纯度更高的钌薄膜，无论在哪个阶段都可以以相同原料、相同成膜温度来实现，所以可在相同的成膜设备内进行成膜，可降低设备投资成本。详细内容，我们将于6月28日在比利时根特市召开的ALD2022学会的AA2-TuA: ALD for BEOL部分中进行发表。■田中贵金属工业的液态钌前驱物"TRuST"在半导体的薄膜及线路材料中，迄今为止主要使用铜及钨、钴，但是面向半导体的进一步微细化，对电阻更低、持久性更高的贵金属钌的期待也在增加。因此，田中贵金属工业开发了实现世界级行业标准蒸汽压力数值的CVD/ALD用液态钌前驱物"TRuST"，并从2020年开始提供样品。该前驱物与原有的前驱物相比，通过将蒸汽压力提高约100倍以上达到世界级行业标准数值，提高成膜室内的前驱物浓度及在基板表面的前驱物分子的吸附密度，实现了优异的台阶覆盖性和成膜速度的提高。■半导体产业所处的状况和背景由于IoT/AI/5G/元宇宙等各种先进技术的发展，数据中心及以智能手机为首的电子设备中使用的数字数据量迅速增加。随之而来，在半导体开发中，为了实现性能更高且省电的器件，前所未有地要求半导体的微细化。此外，在持久性方面，因底层氧化造成的劣化在半导体开发中也是重大的课题。而且，在汽车产业中也一样，随着电动汽车和自动驾驶汽车的开发，在车载半导体等微细化的同时，希望进一步提高持久性。田中贵金属工业在今后追求进一步微细化和提高持久性的半导体产业中，在以期通过提高液态钌前驱物的成膜速度来降低成本和实现更高质量的同时，为半导体的进一步微细化和提高持久性作出贡献，并为开发半导体开辟的新型先进技术作出贡献。新闻稿: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/202206_CH.pdf■关于田中贵金属集团田中贵金属集团自1885年（明治18年）创业以来，营业范围以贵金属为中心，并以此展开广泛活动。在日本国内，以高水准的贵金属交易量为傲，长年以来不遗余力地进行产业用贵金属制品的制造和销售，以及提供作为宝石饰品及资产的贵金属商品。并且，作为贵金属相关的专家集团，国内外的各集团公司进行制造、销售以及技术一体化，携手合作提供产品及服务。2020年度(2021年3月期)的连结营业额为1兆4,256亿日元，拥有5,193名员工。■产业事业全球网站https://www.tanaka.com.cn■产品咨询表田中贵金属工业株式会社https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-on-industrial-products/■新闻媒体咨询处田中控股株式会社https://www.tanaka.com.cn/inquiries-for-media/ Copyright 2022 亚太商讯.

Pertamina’s largest share of 2021 profit from upstream sector

23 6 月, 2022

JAKARTA, Jun 23, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The upstream sector accounted for the largest share of state-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina's (Persero's) net profit as Indonesian crude prices (ICP) soared in 2021.Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore Southeast Sumatra (PHE OSES) well in Seribu Islands waters off North Jakarta's coast (ANTARA FOTO/M Risyal Hidayat/rwa)"The overall profit earned is a combination of the six sub-holdings and their subsidiaries, but the largest contribution to the net profit comes from the upstream sector due to the windfall from the increase in ICP prices," acting vice president of corporate communications at Pertamina, Heppy Wulansari, said in Jakarta on Tuesday.Reporting its 2021 fiscal year performance to the government, which is a shareholder in the company, Pertamina said it scored a net profit of Rp29.3 trillion.The majority of this profit was obtained from the upstream sector's revenue, which increased sharply. Meanwhile, the downstream sector experienced losses due to the increase in crude oil prices and as Pertamina's fuel prices remained below the market price.This was an advantage for Pertamina, which has an integrated business from upstream to downstream, which allows cross-subsidies. Thus, it could maintain the balance between profits and public service bonds.Wulansari said that Pertamina's financial performance was positive, with almost doubled profit in the 2021 fiscal year.This profit was consolidated profit from all Pertamina business lines from upstream, processing, and downstream.As for the downstream sector, especially fuel and LPG marketing and distribution, at this time, the status is still at a loss due to the high cost of fuel production as the largest component is crude oil."However, Pertamina really appreciates the government's full support through the payment of assignment fuel compensation and the addition of energy subsidies in the 2022 State Budget. This is very meaningful to maintain people's purchasing power and encourage economic recovery," Wulansari said.Contact: Fajriyah Usman, VP Corporate Communications, PT Pertamina (Persero)M: +62 858 8330 8686, Email: fajriyah.usman@pertamina.com, URL: https://www.pertamina.comWritten by: Azis Kurmala, Editor: Suharto (c) ANTARA 2022 Copyright 2022 ACN Newswire.

TANAKA Establishes New Ruthenium Film Deposition Process that Contributes toward Miniaturization and Improved Durability of Semiconductors

23 6 月, 2022

TOKYO, Jun 23, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), which operates the TANAKA Precious Metals manufacturing business, announced today that TANAKA has established a two-stage film deposition process using the liquid ruthenium (Ru) precursor "TRuST." TRuST is a precursor that has excellent reactivity with both oxygen and hydrogen and can form high-quality ruthenium films. This process is a two-stage atomic layer deposition (ALD) process that uses hydrogen film formation to create a thin anti-oxidation film and oxygen for the deposition of a high-quality ruthenium film. It eradicates concerns that the substrate will become oxidized and, at the same time, can prevent the drop in ruthenium purity that occurs during hydrogen film deposition.The film deposition process was proposed by Professor Soo-Hyun Kim from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, College of Engineering, Yeungnam University in South Korea. The development and evaluation of the film deposition process were jointly conducted by Professor Kim and TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo.This technology is expected to achieve greater miniaturization and improved durability of semiconductors. It can therefore be expected to be used in data centers and smartphones - which require even greater data processing capabilities - and contribute toward advanced technologies such as IoT and autonomous driving, which require sophisticated technological innovations.Two-Stage Film Deposition Process Using Oxygen And HydrogenTANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo is developing high-purity precious metal precursors?centered on ruthenium?for next-generation semiconductors. So far, single-stage film deposition using oxygen has been the mainstream process for film deposition. However, the company has now succeeded in a two-stage film deposition process using oxygen and hydrogen.This two-stage film deposition process reduces the risk of surface oxidation of the base caused by hydrogen film deposition and allows high-purity film deposition that maintains ruthenium purity at almost 100% using oxygen film deposition. Furthermore, by forming the base first using hydrogen film deposition, the ruthenium film on top of the base created using oxygen film deposition will be smooth and dense, achieving a lower resistance than before.Generally, specific resistivity increases when film thickness decreases, which is an issue in film deposition of semiconductors. With this new process, it was confirmed that an even lower resistance results from a two-stage film deposition that uses hydrogen in addition to oxygen film deposition, especially in the range of 10 nm and below. As semiconductors become even smaller in scale in the future, demand for thinner film deposition with low resistance is also expected for ruthenium films, and a two-stage film deposition allows this issue to be resolved. In addition, the new low-resistance, high-purity ruthenium film created by the two-stage film deposition can be achieved using the same raw materials and film deposition temperature for both stages. Therefore, film deposition is possible using the same film deposition equipment, allowing capital investment costs to be suppressed. Details will be announced at the AA2-TuA: ALD for BEOL session of the ALD 2022 conference being held in Ghent, Belgium, on June 28, 2022.TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo's Liquid Ruthenium Precursor "TRuST"In the past, the most common thin film and wiring materials used for semiconductors were copper, tungsten, and cobalt, but there are increasing expectations for the precious metal ruthenium to promote greater miniaturization of semiconductors because of its lower resistance and higher durability. Therefore, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo developed TRuST - a liquid ruthenium precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and ALD that achieved the world's highest vapor pressure value - and started providing samples in 2020.By increasing to the world's highest vapor pressure value, which is more than 100 times higher than existing precursors, this precursor raises the concentration of precursor in the film deposition chamber and the adsorption density of precursor molecules on the substrate surface, achieving excellent step coverage and improved film deposition speed.State of the Semiconductor Industry and BackgroundThe progress of advanced technologies such as IoT, AI, 5G, and the metaverse has led to rapidly increasing volumes of digital data used by digital devices such as smartphones. Therefore, in the development of semiconductors, the need for even greater miniaturization is increasing to enable the creation of devices with higher performance and lower energy consumption. In the aspect of durability, degradation due to base oxidation is also a major issue in semiconductor development. Furthermore, the development of electric vehicles and self-driving cars requires similar needs for the miniaturization of automotive semiconductors along with further improvement in durability.In the semiconductor industry, which will require greater miniaturization and improved durability in the future, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo seeks to further reduce costs and achieve higher quality by improving the film deposition speed of liquid ruthenium precursors. At the same time, the company will contribute to greater miniaturization and improved durability of semiconductors to support the development of new advanced technologies enabled by semiconductors.Press release in PDF: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/202206_EN.pdfAbout TANAKA Precious MetalsSince its foundation in 1885, TANAKA Precious Metals has built a portfolio of products to support a diversified range of business uses focused on precious metals.

23 6 月, 2022

CHICAGO, IL, Jun 23, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO which has recently expanded its services to the US, was awarded a prestigious Clinical Leader and Life Science Leader CRO Leadership Award for exceeding customer expectations, at Drug Information Association 2022 (DIA 2022).Novotech CEO Dr. John Moller said the company was extremely pleased to receive this award for the second consecutive year. "Receiving this recognition from our clients is incredibly important to us and is an endorsement of our service delivery model that is tailored to the needs of biotech clients. Our local teams have exceptional site and investigator access, our project management approach emphasises problem solving, ownership and flexibility, and our investments in data and technology ensure clients have real time access to trial performance."Book a meeting with one of the Novotech experts at DIA here. https://novotech-cro.com/contactClinical Leader and Life Science Leader working with Industry Standard Research (ISR), selected Novotech for the CRO Leadership Award.According to the CRO Leadership Award research team: "The awards are based on customer feedback. Winning CROs are chosen through impartial market research based on feedback from sponsor companies that utilize outsourcing services. Primary market research by ISR Reports is the basis of the awards. Sponsors provide ratings of CROs based on recent outsourced projects. This experiential feedback is analyzed by sponsor company size to reveal leading CROs in different performance categories."Ed Miseta, Chief Editor for Clinical Leader said: "Selecting the right CRO can make or break your project. It can lead to a successful regulatory submission and approval or cost you a lot of time and effort on a failed study. That makes CRO selection a stressful decision for any clinical operations manager. Regardless of whether you are concerned about compatibility, capabilities, expertise, quality, or reliability. We believe our CRO Leadership Awards will help managers with their search process and hopefully help to connect them with the right contract partner. We are grateful to our colleagues at ISR Reports for conducting the research necessary to produce these awards. These award winners have proven themselves to be the top service providers in each category. I congratulate all of them for the work ethic they exhibit in consistently meeting the needs of their drug development clients."Kevin Olson, CEO of Industry Standard Research said: "Industry Standard Research (IRS) continues to consider it an honor to provide the primary market research data for Life Science Leader and Clinical Leader's CRO Leadership Awards.

"The focus on Asia-Pacific for biotech clinical research over the past five years makes the region the fastest growing clinical trial destination with China being the leading location for new trials followed by the US. Asia-Pacific offers a compelling solution for expedited clinical trials especially in oncology with its vast patient populations, less competitive clinical trial landscape, and world-class KOLs, in addition regulatory reforms, such as those in China, have accelerated approval processes. The expansion into the US was a strategic move to provide US-based expertise and infrastructure for our US clients wanting trials in APAC and the US, and for our APAC clients wanting US clinical programs."About Novotech Health Holdings Pte Ltd ("Novotech")Novotech is the leading Asia-Pacific and US biotech specialist CRO.

Toyota Announces July Production Plan

22 6 月, 2022

Toyota City, Japan, Jun 22, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - We at Toyota would like to again apologize for the repeated adjustments to our production plans due to the parts shortage resulting from the spread of COVID-19, and for causing considerable inconvenience to our customers who have been waiting for the delivery of vehicles, suppliers, and other parties concerned.The global production volume for July is expected to be approximately 800,000 units (approx. 250,000 units in Japan and 550,000 units overseas). We have revised the global production plan by about 50,000 units from the number provided to our suppliers at the beginning of the year.As for July, we previously announced that some plants in Japan will suspend operations ("Adjustments to domestic production in June and July"). However, due to the continued impact of a COVID-19 outbreak at one of our suppliers, we have decided to extend the period of operations suspension at some of our plants and production lines.The global production volume for July through September is estimated to average about 850,000 units per month. The production forecast for the fiscal year remains unchanged (approx. 9.7 million).As it remains difficult to look ahead due to the shortage of semiconductors and the spread of COVID-19, there is a possibility that the production plan may be lower. However, we will examine the parts supply closely to minimize sudden decreases in production, and continue to make every effort possible to deliver as many vehicles to our customers at the earliest date.For the revised domestic operations suspension schedule for July, visit https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/corporate/37487297.html.

Eisai Publishes Potential Economic Value of Investigational Lecanemab in Peer-Reviewed Neurology and Therapy Journal

22 6 月, 2022

TOKYO, Jun 22, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. today announced publication of results from an early phase evaluation that aimed to estimate potential economic value of its investigational anti-amyloid-beta (Abeta) protofibril antibody lecanemab in people living with early Alzheimer's disease (AD) using a validated disease simulation model, AD Archimedes Condition Event (AD ACE) model1,2,3 from the healthcare payer and societal perspectives in the United States, in the peer-reviewed journal Neurology and Therapy. This is the second publication of lecanemab's potential value. It follows the evaluation of the long-term health outcomes using simulation modeling of lecanemab published in Neurology and Therapy in April 2022.4 While the healthcare payer perspective focuses on direct care costs (e.g., outpatient and inpatient services, medications, intervention costs, nursing home and home healthcare services), the societal perspective further considers societal costs (e.g., productivity loss and informal care costs). As reported in the previous publication, it was suggested that compared to standard of care* (SoC), individuals treated with lecanemab in addition to SoC (lecanemab+SoC) may potentially experience slower disease progression to mild, moderate and severe AD from baseline by 2.51, 3.13 and 2.34 years on average, respectively. The preliminary results of this model-based simulation could possibly translate into additional quality-adjusted life years (QALY**) and reduction in the formal and informal care costs***. Additionally, the AD ACE model framework used in this study allowed assessment of the potential value of lecanemab in different scenarios and sensitivity analyses, including the impact of patient subsets, alternative treatment stopping rules**** and potential dosing regimens as well as major sources of uncertainty. Eisai is committed to conducting and sharing these types of clinical and socioeconomic analyses to establish trust as we work to potentially bring lecanemab to people living with early AD who have confirmed presence of amyloid pathology in the brain. To that end, Eisai would like to provide a common foundation for stakeholders' discourse regarding the potential clinical and socioeconomic value of lecanemab from the societal perspective, not to assign a price for lecanemab at this time. This model-based simulation was conducted using the results of a Phase 2b clinical trial (Study 201) evaluating the efficacy and safety of lecanemab for early AD with confirmed amyloid pathology as well as published literature. It also estimated the potential economic value of lecanemab+SoC over a broad range of willingness-to-pay thresholds from $50,000 to $200,000 per QALY gained as recommended by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER)*****. Lecanemab+SoC was predicted to result in a gain of 0.61 QALYs and a decrease in total non-treatment costs of $8,707 per person from the healthcare payer perspective (Societal perspective: 0.64 QALYs gain and $11,214 decrease) compared to the SoC for patients with early AD who have confirmed presence of amyloid pathology. The potential annual value-based price (VBP) of lecanemab was estimated at $9,249 to $35,605 (Societal perspective: $10,400 to $38,053) based on this early economic assessment. ICER's value framework5 indicates that value cannot be wholly derived from measures of clinical and cost-effectiveness, so contextual considerations and an examination of other benefits and disadvantages are also added into the framework when assessing long-term value. This may lead to using the societal perspective and higher end of the broad range of willingness-to-pay threshold in estimating the justifiable price of lecanemab, given the large societal burden of AD relative to direct healthcare costs. Many people living with AD received informal care from their family and friends totaling more than 16 billion hours of unpaid care valued at $271.6 billion in the U.S. in 2021.6 These predicted and simulated findings suggest that early treatment with lecanemab may reduce these costs and economic burdens, and provide insights for healthcare decision-makers regarding the potential clinical and socioeconomic value of lecanemab. The Phase 3 lecanemab Clarity AD data will soon be available to inform the model inputs and refine the findings. In the event that lecanemab receives the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval, Eisai may determine a VBP using this framework along with other considerations, such as affordability, health system sustainability, etc. "Eisai's goal is to create therapies, such as our investigational anti-amyloid beta protofibril antibody lecanemab, that may help impact the anxieties of people living with Alzheimer's disease and their families. For Alzheimer's disease, it is important to evaluate the holistic value of therapies taking into account not only medical costs but also the immense societal costs," said Ivan Cheung, Senior Vice President, President Neurology Business Group and Global Alzheimer's Disease Officer, Eisai Co., Ltd., Chairman and CEO, Eisai Inc. "As part of Eisai's commitment to our human health care mission, trust and transparency, we will continue to publish data and information about lecanemab and look forward to sharing the results of the lecanemab confirmatory Phase 3 Clarity AD clinical trial this fall." Eisai completed lecanemab's rolling submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for the treatment of early AD to the FDA under the accelerated approval pathway in May 2022. The Clarity AD Phase 3 clinical study for lecanemab in early AD is ongoing and completed enrollment in March 2021 with 1,795 patients. The readout of the primary endpoint data of Clarity AD will occur in the fall of 2022. The FDA has agreed that the results of Clarity AD, when completed, can serve as the confirmatory study to verify the clinical benefit of lecanemab. Dependent upon the results of the Clarity AD clinical trial, Eisai may submit for full approval of lecanemab to the FDA during Eisai's fiscal year 2022, which ends in March2023. In Japan, in March 2022, Eisai initiated submission of application data to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) under the prior assessment consultation system with the goal of obtaining early approval for lecanemab, and aims to file for the manufacturing and marketing approval based on the results of Clarity AD during Eisai's fiscal year 2022. Also, in Europe, based on the results of the Clarity AD study, Eisai plans to submit a new drug application in fiscal year 2022. This release discusses investigational uses of an agent in development and is not intended to convey conclusions about efficacy or safety. There is no guarantee that such an investigational agent will successfully complete clinical development or gain health authority approval. * Standard of Care (SoC) for AD currently consists of lifestyle modifications and pharmacologic treatment of symptoms.** The quality-adjusted life year (QALY) is a measure of the value of health outcomes. Since health is a function of length of life (i.e., quantity) and quality of life (QOL), the QALY was developed as an attempt to combine the value of these attributes into a single index number. One QALY equates to one year in perfect health. QALY scores range from 1 (full health) to 0 (dead). For example, a new intervention may increase length of life by 3 years and improve quality of life by 70% (QALY score of 2.1) compared to an existing intervention that may increase length of life by 3 years and only improve QOL by 50% (QALY score of 1.5), the incremental QALY for this new intervention will be 0.6 QALYs.*** Formal and informal care costs do not include lecanemab drug cost.**** Alternative treatment stopping rules were explored in scenario analyses where treatment with lecanemab was stopped after a fixed duration of 1.5, 3 and 5 years.***** ICER is a non-profit research organization in the U.S. that evaluates the evidence on the clinical and economic value of prescription drugs, medical tests, devices and health system delivery innovations. 1 Kansal AR, Tafazzoli A, Ishak KJ, Krotneva S.

Tracing Pertamina’s cost efficiency amid high global oil prices

22 6 月, 2022

JAKARTA, Jun 22, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - State-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina (Persero) succeeded in achieving cost optimization of US$2.21 billion in 2021 amid high global crude oil prices.Pertamina. gas station ANTARA/HO - PT. Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Kalimantan."Through this business strategy, in 2021, Pertamina succeeded in cost optimization of US$2.21 billion, obtained from the cost savings program (cost-saving) of US$1.36 billion, cost avoidance of US$356 million, and additional revenue (revenue growth) of around US$495 million," director of finance of Pertamina, Emma Sri Martini, said in Jakarta on Tuesday.Martini explained that Pertamina has developed several policies and business strategies from the financial and operational perspective to face the increasing global oil price challenges.Pertamina is strengthening its financial strategy and operational efforts to improve efficiency across business lines, both holdings and sub-holdings and from upstream processing to downstream, amid increasing crude oil prices.From a financial perspective, Pertamina has implemented a cost optimization program across the Pertamina Group, including cost savings, cost avoidance, and increased revenue.Under the savings efforts, Pertamina is also running a hedging program for market risk management. In addition, the company has centralized procurement, prioritized capital expenditures, and is managing assets and liabilities to reduce costs or interest expenses (cost of funds)."We are trying to optimize all costs and manage the company's financial aspects, to reduce costs, including prioritizing projects that have fast results," she said.Besides financial tightening, Pertamina is also implementing an operational strategy to increase revenue for its six sub-holdings.In the upstream business, Pertamina has continued to increase oil and gas production and lifting to take advantage of the increasing oil prices. As a result, production has increased by 4 percent and lifting by 3 percent.The positive performance from upstream operations has been contributed by Rokan Block and foreign assets and consistent efforts to maintain production levels through well-drilling and resource discovery. In 2021, Pertamina drilled 12 exploration wells and 350 exploitation wells. In the same year, its discovered reserves (2C) reached 486.70 MMBOE (million barrels of oil equivalent) and additional proven reserves (P1) reached 623.47 MMBOE.In processing and petrochemicals, in 2021, Pertamina implemented a crude and product optimization strategy. This contributed to an increase in product yield value by around 3 percent. The strategy is related to the selection and economic substitution of crude oil and maximizing high valuable products with high spreads. In 2021, refinery production also increased in response to higher energy demand due to national economic recovery.Then, in the transportation and logistics sectors, Pertamina optimized the load factor to achieve revenue and cost-efficiency. In the gas business, Pertamina also increased the gas trade volume and transportation, as well as oil transportation volume."And after the legal end state, we will also intensify resource sharing, such as sharing facilities and development agreements, especially in upstream sub-holding," Martini said.She added that the positive performance downstream was also supported by the government through the recognition of the difference in compensation for HJE JBT Solar and JBKP Pertalite in 2021, which reached around US$4 billion or equivalent to Rp58.6 trillion (excluding tax) and around US$1.7 billion or equivalent to Rp24.1 trillion (excluding tax) in 2018 and 2019. According to Martini, the government's support will continue in 2022 through a policy revision that will stipulate Pertalite (RON90) as a Special Assignment Fuel in place of Premium (RON88) and an adjustment to the price of Pertamax.As Pertamina's appreciation for this support, several initiatives in the downstream sector have been implemented that simultaneously respond to market changes, such as an expansion of digital transactions, acceleration of Pertashop outlets to capture larger market opportunities in rural areas, and diversion of gas station energy sources to solar panels.We appreciate the government and the DPR's decision, which has increased the budget ceiling for subsidies and compensation for 2022 to maintain and protect people's purchasing power and contain potential inflation. This is a support for Pertamina in providing energy amidst the challenges of high crude oil prices," Martini said.With this support, in 2022, Pertamina will make efforts to increase oil and gas production by 17 percent, targeting 79.9 percent Valuable Product Yield, adding around 3 thousand Pertashop fuel outlets, developing digital markets for up to 25 million MyPertamina users, and increasing revenue from non-captive markets in the shipping business to 7.5 percent.To strengthen its commitment to low-carbon energy, it will produce 7,138 GWh of electricity, which will be supported by a targeted increase in the installed capacity of up to 2.9 GW. Another important strategy will be unlocking the value developed by subsidiaries."In the financial sector, we will focus on optimizing costs targeted to reach up to US$600 million. We will continue to communicate with the government to ensure a good decision for the company," Martini said.Jakarta (ANTARA) - State-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina (Persero) succeeded in achieving cost optimization of US$2.21 billion in 2021 amid high global crude oil prices."Through this business strategy, in 2021, Pertamina succeeded in cost optimization of US$2.21 billion, obtained from the cost savings program (cost-saving) of US$1.36 billion, cost avoidance of US$356 million, and additional revenue (revenue growth) of around US$495 million," director of finance of Pertamina, Emma Sri Martini, said in Jakarta on Tuesday.Martini explained that Pertamina has developed several policies and business strategies from the financial and operational perspective to face the increasing global oil price challenges.Pertamina is strengthening its financial strategy and operational efforts to improve efficiency across business lines, both holdings and sub-holdings and from upstream processing to downstream, amid increasing crude oil prices.From a financial perspective, Pertamina has implemented a cost optimization program across the Pertamina Group, including cost savings, cost avoidance, and increased revenue.Under the savings efforts, Pertamina is also running a hedging program for market risk management.

Pertamina posts record net profit of Rp29.3 trillion

22 6 月, 2022

JAKARTA, Jun 22, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - State-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina (Persero) posted a record net profit of Rp29.3 trillion in 2021 following a successful business transformation.President director of Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati, addressing an online press conference on Pertamina's participation in the Dubai Expo, which was accessed from Jakarta on March 18 (ANTARA/HO-Pertamina)The 2021 transformation helped push up its consolidated net profit (audited) to US$2.046 billion or around Rp29.3 trillion, president director of Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati, said in a statement issued in Jakarta on Tuesday.The figure was almost double compared to the 2020 net profit of Rp15.3 trillion and exceeded the 2021 Corporate Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) target by 154 percent.In 2021, Pertamina transformed its business by increasing efficiency and production, carrying out energy transition, developing oil and gas infrastructure, and implementing the Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) project.Widyawati said Pertamina's successful transformation in 2021 was owing to the formation of the oil and gas holding with six sub-holdings: upstream sub-holding, refining and petrochemical sub-holding, commercial and trading sub-holding, gas sub-holding, integrated marine logistics sub-holding, and new and renewable energy sub-holding."This transformation is a strategic step to adapt to future business changes, moving more agile and faster, focusing on broader and aggressive business development," Widyawati said.Pertamina's positive financial performance was also demonstrated by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of US$9.2 billion.This shows that Pertamina's finances are in a healthy (AA) and safe condition amid the disruption and geopolitical challenges affecting the global oil, gas, and energy industry, Widyawati said.Pertamina's net profit was the consolidated profit of all subsidiaries from upstream, processing, to downstream.Most of the profit was contributed by the upstream sector's revenue, which surged due to rising Indonesian crude prices (ICP). The downstream sector remained under pressure from the high cost of fuel production, the largest component of which is crude oil, Widyawati said.In 2021, upstream oil and gas production increased from 863 thousand oil barrels equivalent per day (MBOEPD) in 2020 to 897 MBOEPD. Thus, Pertamina contributed more than 60 percent to national oil and gas production.In addition, with Pertamina's massive drilling, production at Rokan Block also increased. Various efficiency programs also resulted in cost savings of US$1.4 billion.Fuel production was also achieved according to the target, so there were no additional imports. Since April 2019, Pertamina is no longer importing solar and Avtur fuel, Widyawati said.Pertamina has also completed the construction of two giant oil and gas tankers, namely VLCC Pertamina Pride and Pertamina Prime, which will be used for the global market.Meanwhile, to improve fuel supply reliability in Eastern Indonesia, Pertamina has built and operated 13 new fuel terminals.Pertamina is also running National Strategic Projects (PSN), including the Balikpapan RDMP Refinery (47 percent completion), Balongan RDMP refinery (68.5 percent completion), Cilacap Green Refinery, Tuban GRR Refinery, as well as other priority projects to strengthen Pertamina's petrochemicals business such as Polypropylene Balongan, Revamping Aromatic TPPI, and Olefin TPPI, she said.Integrated digitization from upstream to downstream has been one of the keys to Pertamina's successful controlling of the production and distribution of fuel, as well as the improvement in the service quality to the community.Through its Integrated Command Center, all operational activities can be monitored online and in real-time. The use of MyPERTAMINA application for cashless payments is increasing, and currently, it has reached more than 22 million users, Widyawati informed.With the 2021 new energy development, in addition to the Biosolar B30 production, the Cilacap Refinery has succeeded in producing renewable diesel (100 percent biodiesel), with a capacity of 3 thousand barrels per day.
