Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources lgnasius Jonan said the gas price change from Conoco Phillips in Grissik, South Sumatra to PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) Tbk in Batam, Riau Islands will increase state revenue.
"Changes in gas prices (Conoco Phillips to PGN) in addition to maintaining the business fairness of oil and gas upstream and midstream will also increase state revenues. This is positive, "said Jonan at the Office of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jakarta, Wednesday (23/8) night as submitted through
Release in Jakarta.
According to him, based on further calculations, the additional state revenue due to Conoco Phillips gas price change to PGN from US $ 2.6 to US $ 3.5 per MMBTU for volume 22.73 BBTUD will reach US $ 4.3 million for Contract period July 2017 to November 2018.
"The additional state revenue of US $ 4.3 million is greater than the additional revenue potential of Conoco Phillips of US $ 2.3 million in the same period," he said.
Jonan also said the price change decision was taken on the basis of fair calculation, on the principle of fair sharing between operators upstream with operators in the midstream.
Meanwhile, the price from PGN to the consumer is fixed and unchanged. This, according to Jonan, shows the government's consistency in maintaining affordable gas prices for the community.
"The price change is only on the supply side of Conoco Phillips South Sumatra gas price to PGN Batam, while the price in the consumer remains, this is important, prices in end users such as industry and power plants are not rising, thus encouraging the national economy
And local. This is the realization of energy as a development capital, "he said.
Executive Director of Indonesia Resources Studies (IRESS) Marwan Batubara criticized the government's decision to approve Conoco Phillips's gas price increase. Moreover, this price increase causes state companies to experience a loss of Rp 240 billion until the end of the contract period in 2019.
Different opinions come from energy observer Mamit Setiawan which assesses the change in gas selling price is reasonable and not done suddenly. The process of price renegotiation has been running since 2012 and done with business to business mechanism.

Kenaikan Harga Jual Gas Untungkan Negara
Menteri ESDM lgnasius Jonan mengatakan perubahan harga gas dari Conoco Phillips di Grissik, Sumatera Selatan ke PT Perusahaan Gas negara (PGN) Tbk di Batam, Kepulauan Riau akan menambah penerimaan negara.
“Perubahan harga gas (Conoco Phillips ke PGN) selain menjaga fairness bisnis migas di hulu dan midstream juga akan meningkatkan penerimaan negara. Ini positif,” ujar Jonan di Kantor Kementerian ESDM, Jakarta, Rabu (23/8) malam seperti disampaikan melalui
rilisnya di Jakarta.
Menurut dia, berdasarkan kalkulasi lebih lanjut, tambahan penerimaan negara akibat perubahan harga gas Conoco Phillips ke PGN dari US$ 2,6 menjadi US$ 3,5 per MMBTU untuk volume 22,73 BBTUD, akan mencapai sebesar US$ 4,3 juta untuk periode kontrak Juli 2017 sampai November 2018.
“Tambahan penerimaan negara US$ 4,3 juta tersebut lebih besar dari potensi tambahan pendapatan Conoco Phillips sebesar US$ 2,3 juta periode yang sama,” ujarnya.
Jonan juga mengatakan keputusan perubahan harga itu diambil didasarkan unsur perhitungan yang berkeadilan, dengan prinsip adanya pembagian yang adil antara operator di hulu dengan operator di midstream.
Sementara itu, harga dari PGN ke konsumen diputuskan tetap dan tidak mengalami perubahan. Hal ini menurut Jonan, menunjukkan konsistensi pemerintah dalam menjaga harga gas yang terjangkau untuk masyarakat.
“Perubahan harga itu hanya di sisi supply yaitu harga gas Conoco Phillips Sumatera Selatan ke PGN Batam, sedangkan harga di konsumen tetap, ini yang penting, harga di end user seperti industri dan pembangkit listrik tidak naik, sehingga mendorong ekonomi nasional
dan setempat. lni perwujudan energi sebagai modal pembangunan,” ujarnya.
Direktur Eksekutif Indonesia Resources Studies (IRESS) Marwan Batubara mengkritisi keputusan pemerintah menyetujui kenaikan harga jual gas Conoco Phillips itu. Apalagi kenaikan harga ini menyebabkan perusahaan negara mengalami kerugian Rp 240 miliar hingga berakhirnya masa kontrak pada 2019.
Pendapat berbeda datang dari pengamat energi Mamit Setiawan yang menilai perubahan harga jual gas itu wajar dan tidak dilakukan secara tiba-tiba. Proses renegosiasi harga telah berjalan sejak 2012 dan dilakukan dengan mekanisme business to business.
