nergy and Mineral Resources Minister Ignasius Jonan has appointed Djoko Siswanto as the new oil and gas director general of his ministry in the hope that the latter can expedite the deregulation program and business licensing procedures in the country’s oil and gas sector.
Djoko was previously in charge of procurement control at the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKKMigas), a post he had held since late February 2017.
He served as the upstream oil and gas business development director at the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry from 2015-2016.
“By my standards, the current work rhythm of our Oil and Gas Directorate General and of SKKMigas is quite slow,” Jonan said after Djoko’s inauguration on Wednesday, adding that more effort had to be made to simplify bureaucratic procedures in the oil and gas sector.
“I hope Pak Djoko can work faster and more efficiently [than his predecessors].”
The post of oil and gas director general was previously vacant, following the appointment of Ego Syahrial as the ministry’s new secretary-general in December last year. Subsequently, the ministry offered the post through a tender process, which Djoko won after securing final approval from President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on March 20.
Tunggal, the ministry’s upstream oil and gas business development director, has been appointed to replace Djoko at SKKMigas. Meanwhile, Tunggal’s former post is now filled by Ediar Usman, who was previously the ministry’s mineral and coal program development director. (bbn)
