the Mahakam block
"Pertamina invites Total E & P Indonesie to enter, but must pay the shares. Total does not want to pay "he said in Jakarta.
In May last year, Total E & P Indonesie expressed interest in having a share of participation in the Mahakam Block. However, Total E & P Indonesie wants share ownership up to 39%, above Pertamina's 30% freely available stock limit. This 39% share is a joint for Total and Inpex Corporation which each have a share of 19.5%, if the proposal is approved. However, Djoko asserted, Total was canceled into the Mahakam.
"Inpex in Mahakam still want, Total seems to have no interest," he said.
However, Inpex has not submitted how much of the desired shares in the Mahakam block. What is clear is that in Mahakam block, Pertamina must become 51% majority shareholder and State-Owned Enterprise (BUMD) must get 10% participating interest in Indonesia.
"So Inpex can own up to 39%," said Djoko.
Inpex has started talks about its interest in holding shares of participation in the Mahakam Block. Later, Inpex must negotiate business with Pertamina. Previously, Upstream Director of Pertamina Syamsu Alam said, opening the opportunity for Total E & P Indonesie to join to manage the block off the coast of East Kalimantan. There is no time limit to when the negotiations take place.

Total Batal Gabung di Blok Mahakam
Total E&P Indonesie batal bergabung dengan PT Pertamina (Persero) dalam menggarap Blok Mahakam karena enggan membeli saham yang dijual perseroan. Namun, lnpex Corporation-Japan menyatakan masih berminat ikut mengelola blok migas di Kalimantan Timur tersebut.
Direktur jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Djoko Siswanto mengatakan, Total sudah menyatakan tidak akan bergabung mengelola Blok Mahakam. Pasalnya, perusahaan migas berasal dari Perancis itu ingin memperoleh kepemilikan saham di Blok Mahakam secara gratis.
“Pertamina itu mempersilahkan Total E&P Indonesie masuk, tetapi harus membayar saham. Total tidak mau membayar" kata dia di Jakarta.
Pada Mei tahun lalu, Total E&P Indonesie menyatakan berminat memiliki saham partisipasi di Blok Mahakam.

Saham 39% ini merupakan gabungan untuk Total dan Inpex Corporation yang masing-masing memiliki bagian 19,5%, jika usulan itu disetujui. Namun, Djoko menegaskan, Total batal masuk ke Mahakam.
“Inpex di Mahakam masih mau, Total sepertinya tidak ada minat,” ujar dia.
Meski demikian, Inpex belum menyampaikan berapa besar saham yang diinginkan di Blok Mahakam. Yang jelas, di Blok Mahakam, Pertamina harus menjadi pemegang saham mayoritas 51% dan Badan Usaha Milik Daerah (BUMD) harus memperoleh hak partisipasi Indonesia sebesar 10%.
“Jadi Inpex bisa memiliki sampai 39%,” tutur Djoko.
Inpex sudah memulai pembicaraan tentang minatnya memegang saham partisipasi di Blok Mahakam tersebut. Nantinya, Inpex harus negosiasi bisnis dengan Pertamina. Sebelumnya, Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam mengatakan, membuka kesempatan bagi Total E&P Indonesie untuk ikut bergabung mengelola blok di lepas pantai Kalimantan Timur itu. Tidak ada batasan waktu hingga kapan negosiasi berlangsung.

Sementara untuk rencana investasi tiga tahun pertama, Pertamina menjanjikan, dana sebesar US$ 75,3 juta. Rinciannya secara berurutan US$ 1,3
juta, kemudian US$ 33,5 juta, dan US$ 40,5 juta. Saat ini, Pertamina mulai ikut mengelola Blok Mahakam untuk persiapan peralihan operator. Hal ini untuk menjaga agar produksi migas di blok tersebut tidak turun drastis.
