Indonesia Energy Corp Business Summary

Indonesia Energy Corp Ltd (INDO) is an independent upstream oil and gas company that generates revenue through the exploration, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas in Indonesia. The company’s primary business segments are centered on its two principal assets: the Kruh Block, a 63,000-acre producing block in South Sumatra, and the Citarum Block, a 1-million-acre exploration block in West Java. Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of crude oil under a Joint Operation Partnership (KSO) with Pertamina, the Indonesian state-owned energy entity. As of early 2026, the company has transitioned to a more favorable fiscal regime following a contract extension that increased its after-tax profit split from 15% to 35%. In the competitive landscape, INDO operates as a micro-cap independent E&P player alongside competitors such as Amplify Energy (AMPY), Gran Tierra Energy (GTE), and PEDEVCO (PED). INDO distinguishes itself by focusing exclusively on high-growth, underexplored Indonesian basins where it leverages localized expertise to maintain production costs below $20 per barrel. The leadership team is led by Co-Founder and CEO Dr. Wirawan Jusuf, who brings extensive experience in Indonesian business development and strategic planning, and Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer James Jerry Huang, a CFA charterholder with a background in international finance. The executive suite includes President Frank Ingriselli, a 40-year energy veteran and former senior executive at Texaco, and Chief Operating Officer Mirza F. Said, who was appointed in early 2024 to oversee government relations and drilling execution. Technical operations are directed by Chief Technology Officer Dr. Chiahsin “Charlie” Wu, an industry veteran with over four decades of experience at ARCO and BP, while financial strategy is managed by CFO Gregory Overholtzer. The company is backed by majority shareholder Maderic Holding Limited and has attracted institutional investment from firms such as Goldman Sachs and Two Sigma Investments. The board of directors includes notable independent members like Michael Peterson and Tamba P. Hutapea, formerly of the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board.
