History

Before the merge

Article 33 of National Act 1945 emphasizes that "Land, water and their containing natural resources are possessed by the state and are used for people's utmost wellbeing". Based on this Article, the privilege to manage oil industry is in the government's hand.

Ibnu Sutowo's position as the second deputy of Abdul Haris Nasution was a move towards army control in the oil industry.[1] Permina conducted the oil distribution's process for the entire nation. Permina founded Apprentice Technique School (Sekolah Kader Teknik) in Brandan to fulfill the needs of experts on oil's area. Permina also established Oil Academy in Bandung at 1962. Oil Academy's curriculum consists of several aspects in oil industry, and the graduates turned into the main forces in Pertamin (which later transformed to Pertamina). Pertamin, established in 1961, was responsible for the administration, management and controlling of the exploration and production.

In 1960, the Congress stated a policy that oil and ground gases mining are only permitted for the state, through a state company. The involvement of foreign party was bonded by contract since then.
