Transferring the Rokan Block management from PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) to PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR), which went smoothly, could be an example of the operational transition of a giant oil and gas working area in the future.
Meanwhile, the smooth transfer of management in the Rokan Block is of particular concern considering that the working area is the second-largest supporter of oil production in Indonesia or around 24 percent of the total domestic oil production.
Investment commitment agreements during the transition period are a new thing in the process of transferring the management of oil and gas working areas in Indonesia. The Rokan Block became the only working area that received investment for drilling during the transition period by its former manager.
The day after the transfer of management of Rokan, Pertamina Hulu Rokan succeeded in continuing the drilling program that had been prepared during the transfer of management with SKK Migas and Chevron. PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) also shipped the prime oil at the end of last week. Most recently, Pertamina Hulu Rokan drilled the sixth well, namely the Duri #3R-52B well.
President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) Jaffee Arizon Suardin said a week after managing the Rokan Block or one day before the commemoration of Indonesian Independence Day, the drilling was carried out.
"There is a rig preparation work which is usually completed in six days, can be completed in three days," said Jaffee.
Meanwhile, Executive Director of ReforMiner Komaidi Notonegoro assessed that the main key to creating a smooth transition process lies in institutional strengthening to accelerate the transfer process of the two contractors.
"If SKK Migas later becomes an institution with a strong representation, then it will know the data, know the detailed information," he said.
In addition, Komaidi assesses the role of legal protection will also greatly determine similar processes in the future. Therefore, he hopes that the presence of the new Oil and Gas Law will make all affairs in the sector more effective.
