Abstract

Oil and Gas itself has a very strategic value for the life of the Indonesian people as a source of domestic energy and a very significant source of state revenue. However, various policies on Oil and Natural Gas issued by the government are still considered not able to elaborate the challenges and problems of oil and gas reserves. Beside the importance of oil and gas to help the Indonesian economy, it has negative effects on the surrounding environment. That is waste caused by oil and gas production. Supposedly, the development of the oil and gas sector can go hand in hand with development in the environmental sector. The creation of a balance between the utilization and sustainability of forests and oil as well as gas is an important prerequisite for the implementation of sustainable development of the environment as well as oil and gas sectors. This study will discuss: how is the protection of environmental sustainability of oil and gas exports under the law in Indonesia? The study shows that Indonesian law is not clear and firm enough in arrangement for oil and gas industry related to its obligation to preserve the environment. Various cases of environmental damage that occurred which are caused by the oil and gas industry are evidences that the existing rules have not been implemented maximally.
