Aryanto, National Coordinator of PWYP Indonesia welcomed the development of several platforms such as MOMI, MODI, MOMS (Monitoring Online Monitoring System), and other platforms. These tools help the Government integrate data and conduct monitoring in the field. It also shows an improvement in mineral and coal governance by the Government."MoMS, for example, is for integrating licensing with maps, MODI for permit data and company structures, or MoMS for monitoring integrated production data,"


Jakarta, energindo – A more transparent, accountable, and collaborative mining business governance is the dream of all stakeholders. For this reason, the Government is aggressively utilizing technology for its public services.

Several digital innovations have been launched, one of which is Minerba One Map Indonesia (MOMI), a Geographical Information System for Mining Areas.

“MOMI is a central data spatial reference whose development includes; mineres, one map policy for Indonesia, ESDM Geoportal, and data warehouse exploration,” said Muhammad Wafid, Director of Mineral and Coal Program Development Dijten Minerba, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, in a webinar.

“MOMI as one of the triggers for One Map Indonesia will be connected with MODI (Minerba One Data Indonesia) non-spatial data references, including online licensing, ESDM Data Enterprise, Coal and Mineral investment e-PNBP, MVP and MOMS,” added Wafid.

MOMI, continued Wafid, will be the single source of truth for Indonesian mining data, where MOMI / MODI will provide all applications that are developed and use mining licensing data through a web service.

“This mechanism will reduce database redundancies and improve control over service to permit holders because only those registered with MOMI / MODI will be served,” he said.

MOMI can integrate data in one monitor view interface simultaneously. With a good internet network, MOMI can be accessed anywhere and anytime, even in Apple and Android menus.

Not only GIS maps from Mining Licenses, PKP2B, and KK. Based on the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources website, MOMI will also be linked with; Oil and gas block maps, geothermal WKP maps, geological formation maps, forest area maps, administrative boundary maps, continuous and coal maps, power grid maps, and PLTU locations, smelter location maps, air, and seaport maps, follow-up integration plan maps, satellite image maps resolutions, plantation permit maps, forestry permit maps, and spatial maps.

Responding to this, Aryanto Nugroho, Researcher from Publish What You Pay (PWYP), said he welcomed the development of several platforms such as MOMI, MODI, MOMS (Monitoring Online Monitoring System), and other platforms.

In his view, this helps the Government integrate data and conduct monitoring in the field. It also shows an improvement in mineral and coal governance by the Government.

“MoMS, for example, is for integrating licensing with maps, MODI for permit data and company structures, or MoMS for monitoring integrated production data,” he told Energindo (12/3).

However, he did post several notes on these platforms: The data; These platforms, for example, MOMS, MINERS, MVP, have not been opened to the public, so it cannot be said to be transparent. While the platforms that have been opened to the public, MOMI and MODI, have not been updated.

Support Pre-Mining

Cahyo Nugroho, Esri Indonesia’s Chief Industry Solution Officer, explained that Esri is proud to play a role in developing MOMI, MODI, and other platforms. Regarding the input from various parties for updating, he stated that his party was always open.

However, on the other hand, he said, Esri technology can not only support the spatial and non-spatial development of mineral and coal digitization or the mining and post-mining period. It is because Esri has been able to help since the pre-mining or exploration period. Among his supports is knowing the types and potentials and mineral reserves of mines in that location in a geological structure formation map.

“Not only surface, but we can also analyze subsurface. We have technology that can help geologists in remote areas to estimate how much mineral reserves are, “he told Energindo some time ago.

The technology used includes; satellite imagery, rusteer, drones, and so on. It supports and processes geological, geophysical, geochemical, and other analyzes, including how old the rocks are on the surface.

“After completing all the data until the shallow drilling of the geological sample below, then we do a geochemical analysis and overlay it together with ArcGIS so that it becomes a reference for investment decisions and mineral exploration from the mineral and coal map,” he concluded.
