One of the pipelines in Indonesia is the Tempino-Plaju pipeline. A feasibility study of the alternatives of oil transportation systems from Tempino to Plaju is necessary <br /> <br /> <br /> to be conducted considering the strategic value of this pipeline, and factors that may affect the integrity of the pipeline, such as the change of several areas becoming <br /> <br /> <br /> residential areas, pipeline operational conditions that no longer suit the design, corrotion, and environmental hazard. <br /> <br /> <br /> In this research, a feasibility study is done considering the technical aspect and economic aspect of the oil pipeline from Tempino to Ramba (part of Tempino-Plaju). <br /> <br /> <br /> Selection of routes using the Google Earth software, as well as the determination of pipe diameter and amount of pumps using the Plant Flow Wizard software are conducted for the assessment of technical feasibility. For the assessment of economic feasibility, a cash flow projection is made, and economic parameters such as IRR, PBP, NPV, Toll Fee are calculated. An analysis regarding the impacts of the possibility of production forecast discrepancy toward economic factors is further conducted. Based on the technical analysis conducted in this research, there are three route alternatives for the transportation of oil from Tempino to Ramba. There are further subalternatives using 6” and 8” diameter pipes. Considering the economic parameters of those alternatives, Route 1 using 8” NPS ranks highest in terms of economic performance. The pipeline would have a higher toll fee (by 1.69) than the forecasted condition, when the production capacity is lower (0.57) than expected. Further studies regarding risks and social aspects are recommended for a better decision in selecting the pipeline routes.
