1. Go Productive & Efficiency

Nicke oversees Pertamina's transformation into Oil and Gas Holding with six Subholdings. so that it becomes more productive and efficient. Pertamina managed to increase the company's capacity upstream with the return of the Rokan block to the motherland's lap, as well as conduct massive and aggressive drilling.

The downstream capacity has also increased by building giant/VLC tankers, 13 new BBM terminals in the Eastern Indonesia region to increase the production capacity of the refinery (Completion of the RDMP Balongan, Blue Sky Cilacap, and TPPI Aromatics projects, as well as the construction of the Balikpapan RDMP, Tuban GRR, and Petrochemical) RDMP projects. The company has also made various efforts to optimize costs so that it can still generate profits despite the pandemic conditions and the world energy crisis.

2. Go Global

Nicke is considered successful in guiding subsidiaries into global players, including by increasing Pertamina's upstream oil and gas operations in 13 countries which can carry 49.9 million barrels of oil into Indonesia, the Pertamina International Shipping fleet has met global standards and expanded trading areas from 8 routes to 11 international routes.

In addition, Pertamina's Green Diesel products also penetrate the world market. Pertamina's performance has received worldwide recognition, which is the only Indonesian company included in the Global Fortune 500.

3. Go Green

During Nicke's leadership, Pertamina built Green Refinery in Dumai and Cilacap, which produces green energy products based on palm oil such as Green Diesel D100 and Bioavtur. EBT's energy mix increased through the construction of PLTS at 238 gas stations (Green Energy Station), PLTS in Kilang and upstream oil and gas blocks.

The decarbonization program in the refinery and in the oil and gas block has succeeded in reducing carbon emissions by around 6.2 million metric tons of CO2.
