This research project, a collaboration between the Unversitas Mercu Buana and the Indonesian Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas), will map the risk factors for corruption in the upstream oil and gas industry in Indonesia. Over the last decade, the Government of Indonesia has become increasingly concerned that petroleum companies operating the country’s oil and gas fields have been inflating costs through overspending. Drawing on years of work on corruption risk mitigation in Indonesian oil and gas industry, this research project will review and analyse relevant published policy which is designed to mitigate the risk of corruption, including bribery risk, as well as studying the implications of the absence of legislation in Indonesia to prosecute corruption in the private sector and more specifically bribery in the upstream oil and gas industry.
This research full supported by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) of Indonesia.
