“The trend of oil prices will continue to rise because crude oil consumption grew about 3 percent,” said Observer Petroleum and Mines, Kurtubi.
With a combination of growth factors are increasingly global economy recovers and the supply of reduced OPEC, crude oil prices expected to rise from the current position in the level of 75-80 U.S. dollars a barrel to 85 U.S. dollars per barrel. Prices are expected to sell strongly in the second quarter of 2010.
As for the third quarter of 2010, oil prices expected to penetrate 90 U.S. dollars per barrel.Government measures that would raise the assumption of oil prices Indonesia (ICP) of 65 U.S. dollars a barrel to 77 dollars a barrel was considered good.

Board of Directors of PT Pertamina will easily increase revenues, profits, and dividends.However, Pertamina still can not surpass the income, profits, or dividends of government-owned oil company of Malaysia, Petronas, or PTT of Thailand.
“Similarly, the national oil production increased significantly impossible if the Oil and Gas Law (Law No. 22 Year 2001 on Oil and Gas) is not revised. It is necessary for the national oil and gas industry can bounce back, says Kurtubi.

The analysts argued, the increase in world oil prices was not free from speculation the global economic recovery. In addition, the decline in U.S. dollar exchange rate some time ago joined lit oil prices.

Vice President Valbury Asia Futures, Nico Omer Jonckheere said, until the first half of 2010, the U.S. dollar exchange rate is still likely to weaken. Dus, oil prices are still more likely to ascend to the level of U.S. $ 82 per barrel.

Pri Agung oil observers argue Rakhmanto, more oil price increases triggered by the demand in the futures market, not merely real demand. ”Moreover, the current dollar tends to weaken against other currencies. Factors winter could also drive the oil prices in the short term,” he said yesterday.

Pri Agung predict, fundamentally the world oil price will only be in the range of U.S. $ 70 – U.S. $ 80 per barrel. With a note, if world economic growth running smoothly as expected.
“But the current economic conditions, it is still not sure,” he added.

According to Pri, oil supplies through 2010 could reach 89 million barrels per day, while demand is only 84 million barrels per day. ”From the supply of 89 million barrels, OPEC has cut production to 5 million barrels,” said Pri Agung. Thus, there is no reason for oil price rises.Because, no matter what the addition of oil demand can still be supplied by the producer countries.
