Exxon Coordinates with SKK Migas



ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) claimed to be coordinating with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) to take care of submitting the revised Environmental Impact Analysis (Amdal) of the Banyu Urip Field in the Cepu Block to the Bojonegoro District Government.

the Banyu Urip Field in the Cepu Block

Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited Senior Vice President Muhammad Nurdin said the Amdal revision was related to an increase in production capacity from 220,000 barrels per day to 235,000 BPD. This capacity has been based on a series of tests by adjusting environmental and emissions aspects. The amount also adjusts to the capacity of the production capacity.


It's just that he did not discuss details about the problems experienced by Exxon with the Bojonegoro District Government so that the Amdal revision was not immediately approved. Even when Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives alluded to the issue of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities that were considered to be a trouble maker, Exxon did not give a firm answer.

"A high rate test has been carried out and submitted as a revised EIA document," he said at a hearing (RDP) between Commission VII and 10 Contractors Cooperation Contract (KKKS).

Meanwhile, the age of the Cepu Block will also be longer because of the discovery of proven reserves that are almost twice the previous estimate. The Banyu Urip field oil and gas reserves in the Plan of Development (POD) were 325 million barrels. At present, the proven field reserve is 940 million barrels.

"This means the peak of the field will be longer than the Banyu Urip Field prediction during the POD," said Nurdin.

Dwi Soetjipto

Previously, SKK Migas Head Dwi Soetjipto said that in accordance with the results of the high rate test (HRT), the Banyu Urip Field was able to produce oil so 235,000 BPD safely. Dwi did not mention the specific target of the Amdal Banyu Urip Field revision was completed, but he hoped that all licensing processes could be completed quickly.

Exxon Koordinasi Dengan SKK Migas

ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) mengaku sedang berkoordinasi dengan Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) untuk mengurus pengajuan revisi Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal) Lapangan Banyu Urip di Blok Cepu ke Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro. 

Senior Vice President Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited Muhammad Nurdin mengatakan revisi Amdal tersebut berkaitan dengan peningkatan kapasitas produksi dari sebesar 220.000 barel per hari menjadi 235.000 bph. Kapasitas tersebut sudah berdasarkan serangkaian pengujian dengan menyesuaikan aspek lingkungan dan emisi. Besaran tersebut juga menyesuaikan dengan kemampuan kapasitas produksi.

Hanya saja dia tidak membahas detail mengenai permasalahan yang dialami antara Exxon dengan Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro sehingga revisi Amdal tidak segera disetujui. Bahkan ketika Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Indonesia menyinggung soal kegiatan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) yang dinilai menjadi trouble maker, Exxon tidak memberikan jawaban tegas.

“Sudah dilakukan high rate test dan diajukan sebagai dokumen Amdal revisi,” katanya dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat (RDP) antara Komisi VII dengan 10 Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS).

Sementara itu umur Blok Cepu juga akan lebih lama karena adanya penemuan cadangan terbukti yang besarnya hampir dua kali lipat dari perkiraan sebelumnya. Adapun cadangan migas lapangan Banyu Urip dalam Plan Of Development (POD) sebelumnya adalah sebanyak 325 juta barel. Saat ini, cadangan terbukti lapangan tersebut adalah sebesar 940 juta barel.

“Ini artinya peak lapangan akan lebih lama dari prediksi Lapangan Banyu Urip saat POD dulu,” kata Nurdin.

Sebelumnya, Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan sesuai dengan hasil high rate test (HRT), Lapangan Banyu Urip mampu memproduksi minyak sehingga 235.000 bph dengan aman. Dwi tidak menyebut target khusus revisi Amdal Lapangan Banyu Urip rampung, tetapi dia berharap semua proses perizinan dapat diselesaikan dengan cepat.

Lifting Block Rokan 2019 Exceeds Target



PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) revealed, the realization of the Rokan Block oil lifting in 2019 exceeded the Work Plan and Budget (WP&B) targets agreed with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas).


The realization of oil lifting in the Rokan Block reached 190 thousand barrels per day (BPD). While the oil lifting target in WP&B 2019 is set at 185,300 BPD.

the Rokan Block

CPI President Director Albert Simanjuntak said the lifting realization came from reparations or well services by utilizing new technology so that production in the Rokan block could still be optimal.

"In 2019, we will focus on doing workovers by using digital technology, which is choosing well candidates to work on and minimizing our downtime. We are very grateful that the approach taken by Alhamdulillah was able to exceed the plan approved by 102.5% of WPNB, "Albert said in a Hearing Meeting with the House of Representatives Commission VII in Jakarta.

Albert revealed that throughout 2019 yesterday there was no drilling. Because the CPI contract will expire soon on August 8, 2021. He said the last drilling was done in 2018 and then there were 89 wells.

With the expiration of the contract in 2021, drilling in Rokan will no longer be economical. After more than 50 years of managing the Rokan Block, CPI has drilled more than 100 oil and gas fields in the Rokan Block.

He said without drilling investment, this year's WPNB lifting target is lower than 2019 yesterday. Optimization of well injection is done to prevent a too drastic reduction in production.

"We did not drill, the investment return time was not enough, the WP&B 2020 target was 161 thousand BPD," he said.

Meanwhile, Member of Commission VII of the House of Representatives (DPR) Maman Abdurrahman asked for an explanation of the transition period for the management of the Rokan Block from CPI to Pertamina. He highlighted efforts made so that production does not drop dramatically during the transition period and when Pertamina takes over in 2021.

"How to maintain production. Who is drilling? Chevron issued the funds first or what? I'm sure Chevron doesn't want to spend money, "he said.

Albert said that he had coordinated with SKK Migas and Pertamina regarding the transition period since 2019 yesterday. He said there were three options, namely CPI which funded and conducted drilling. The second option is Pertamina to fund and drill. While the last option is funding from Pertamina and CPI that are drilling. But until now the discussion is still ongoing because the Rokan Block uses a cost recovery contract scheme.

"Our reputation in the future keeps Rokan production from dropping. We are interested in cooperation with the government and Pertamina so that the drop is prevented from going too far, "he said.

Albert further revealed that CPI suffered a loss of Rp 23 billion during 2019 due to oil theft. The theft mode is carried out by making underground tunnels (tunnels) connected to oil distribution pipes. This mode is commonly known as illegal tapping. During 2019 yesterday there were 72 illegal tapping cases. Of these 55 cases were intervened successfully. The meaning of illegal tapping has not succeeded in stealing oil.

"Our losses are in the form of stolen oil, repairing holes in the holes and cleaning up oil spills," he said.

Albert said that his side had collaborated with the TNI-Polri in preventing oil theft activities. He explained that cooperation with the security forces had been going on all this time and was being renewed every year.

"We made a cooperative agreement with the TNI-Polri because illegal tapping is becoming more sophisticated," he said.

Cepu Block Environmental Impact Analysis

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives Commission VII also highlighted the problem of Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) in the Cepu Block, Central Java. The Amdal permit has not yet been issued by the Bojonegoro Regency Government. 

the Cepu Block  Field

     However, the management of Exxon Mobile Cepu Limited has yet to disclose issues related to the slow licensing process. This was raised in the DPR Commission VII Hearing Meeting with 10 Cooperation Contract Contractors (K3S).

the Cepu Block

Chairperson of DPR's Commission VII Chairperson of DPR's Commission VII Sugeng Suparwoto said the Cepu Block has a unique character because it continues to be able to increase proven reserves. Even now the Cepu Block is the national oil lifting platform.

"Uniquely the Cepu Block, from the Dutch Age has only just been met by continuously increasing its proven reserve to 900 million barrels, which is extraordinary," Sugeng said in Jakarta.

Exxon Mobil's Senior Vice President Cepu Muhammad Nurdin explained, the EIA problem was still coordinated with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas). He was reluctant to expose the problems that made the permit process uncertain. It only explains that they have fulfilled the requirements needed in the submission of an EIA.

"High rate tests have been carried out and submitted as revised EIA documents," he said.

Muhammad explained that the Amdal revision was carried out because the factory's capacity had increased to 235 thousand barrels per day (BPD). In the previous Amdal, the production capacity was only 220 thousand BPD.

He emphasized that capacity building was based on a series of tests. Even the Environmental Impact Assessment documents have been attached aspects of the environment and emissions. During the meeting, Muhammad revealed that the increase in reserves proved to be more than double from before. The proven reserve reaches 940 million barrels. While previously in the Plan of Development (POD) revealed oil and gas reserves of 325 million barrels.

"This means that the peak field will be longer than the Banyu Urip field prediction during the PoD first," he said.

ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif

The slow EIA of the Cepu Block has also been known by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif. He immediately communicated with the Bojonegoro Regional Government.

"We hope that this EIA will be issued soon. For this reason, we will communicate with the local government, "he said last weekend.

Arifin said that the Cepu Block has an important role in increasing national oil lifting production. Moreover, President Joko Widodo has assigned to boost national oil and gas lifting production. Therefore the EIA approval process is a door for hoisting the national oil lifting production. 

     Because the Cepu Block accounts for 30% of the national lifting. The point is this, how can we increase the lifting from the current one to go up a little more. To ride it does have to change the EIA again. So indeed for this EIA issue, we are asking the regions to be flexible, "he said.

Lifting Blok Rokan 2019 Lampaui Target

PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) mengungkapkan, realisasi lifting minyak Blok Rokan di 2019 melampaui target Work Plan and Budget (WP&B) yang disepakati bersama Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas). 

Adapun realisasi lifting minyak di Blok Rokan mencapai 190 ribu barel per hari (bph). Sementara target lifting minyak dalam WP&B 2019 ditetapkan sebesar 185.300 bph. 

Presiden Direktur CPI Albert Simanjuntak mengatakan realisasi lifting itu berasal dari reparasi atau well service dengan memanfaatkan teknologi baru sehingga produksi di blok Rokan tetap bisa optimal.

“2019 kami fokus lakukan workover dengan gunakan digital teknologi yaitu memilih kandidat-kandidat sumur yang dikerjakan dan meminimalisir downtime kita. Kami sangat bersyukur pendekatan yang dilakukan Alhamdulillah mampu melampaui rencana yang disetujui 102,5% dari WPNB,” kata Albert dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat dengan Komisi VII DPR di Jakarta.

Albert mengungkapkan sepanjang 2019 kemarin tidak melakukan pengeboran. Pasalnya kontrak CPI segera berakhir pada 8 Agustus 2021 mendatang. Dia menuturkan pengeboran terakhir kali dilakukan pada 2018 lalu sebanyak 89 sumur. 

Dengan berakhirnya kontrak pada 2021 mendatang maka pengeboran di Rokan dinilai tidak lagi ekonomis. Setelah lebih dari 50 tahun mengelola Blok Rokan, CPI telah mengebor lebih dari 100 lapangan minyak dan gas di Blok Rokan. 

Dikatakannya tanpa investasi pengeboran membuat target lifting WPNB di tahun ini lebih rendah dibandingkan 2019 kemarin. Optimalisasi injeksi sumur dilakukan untuk mencegah penurunan produksi terlalu drastis.

“Kami tidak melakukan pengeboran, waktu pengembalian investasi tidak cukup, target WP&B 2020 sebesar 161 ribu bph,” ujarnya.

Sementara itu Anggota Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) Maman Abdurrahman meminta penjelasan mengenai masa transisi pengelolaan Blok Rokan dari CPI ke Pertamina. Dia menyoroti upaya yang dilakukan agar produksi tidak turun drastis selama masa transisi serta ketika Pertamina mengambil alih di 2021 nanti.

“Bagaimana menjaga produksi. Siapa yang mengebor? Chevron mengeluarkan dana dulu atau bagaimana? Saya yakin Chevron tidak mau mengeluarkan duit,” ujarnya.

Albert menuturkan pihaknya berkoordinasi dengan SKK Migas dan Pertamina terkait masa transisi sejak 2019 kemarin. Dia menyebut ada tiga opsi yakni CPI yang mendanai serta melakukan pengeboran. Opsi kedua Pertamina yang mendanai serta melakukan pengeboran. Sedangkan opsi terakhir yakni dana dari Pertamina dan CPI yang mengebor. Namun hingga kini masih terus dilakukan pembahasan lantaran Blok Rokan menggunakan skema kontrak cost recovery.

“Reputasi kita ke depan menjaga agar produksi Rokan jangan sampai drop. Kami berkepentingan kerjasama degan pemerintah dan Pertamina sehingga drop dicegah jangan terlalu jauh,” ujarnya.

Lebih lanjut Albert mengungkapkan CPI mengalami kerugian mencapai Rp 23 miliar sepanjang 2019 lalu akibat aksi pencurian minyak. Modus pencurian dilakukan dengan cara membuat terowongan bawah tanah (tunnel) yang terhubung dengan pipa distribusi minyak. Modus ini biasa dikenal dengan ilegal tapping. Sepanjang 2019 kemarin tercatat 72 kasus ilegal tapping. Dari jumlah tersebut 55 kasus diantaranya berhasil diintervensi. Artianya pelaku ilegal tapping belum berhasil mencuri minyak.

“Kerugian kami berupa minyak yang dicuri, memperbaiki pipa yang dilubangi serta membersihkan tumpahan minyak, ujarnya.

Albert menuturkan pihaknya menjalin kerjasama dengan TNI-Polri dalam mencegah kegiatan pencurian minyak. Dia menjelaskan kerjasama dengan aparat keamanan itu sudah berlangsung selama ini dan terus diperbaharui setiap tahunnya.

“Perjanjian kerjasama kami lakukan dengan TNI-Polri karena pelaku ilegal tapping makin canggih,” tuturnya.

Analisis Dampak Lingkungan Blok Cepu

Sementara itu, Komisi VII DPR RI juga menyoroti permasalahan Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal) di Blok Cepu, Jawa Tengah. Izin Amdal itu hingga kini belum diterbitkan oleh Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro. 

     Namun jajaran Manajemen Exxon Mobile Cepu Limited belum mau membeberkan permasalahan terkait lambannya proses perizinan. Hal ini mengemuka dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat Komisi VII DPR dengan 10 Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (K3S).

Ketua Komisi VII DPR Ketua Komisi VII DPR Sugeng Suparwoto mengatakan Blok Cepu memiliki karakter unik lantaran terus mampu meningkatkan cadangan terbukti. Bahkan saat ini Blok Cepu menjadi tumpuan lifting minyak nasional.

“Unik Blok Cepu, dari Jaman Belanda baru saja  ketemu dengan terus menerus naik proven reserve menjadi 900 juta barel, luar biasa,” kata Sugeng di Jakarta.

Senior Vice President Exxon Mobil Cepu Muhammad Nurdin menerangkan, permasalahan Amdal masih dikoordinasikan dengan Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas). Dia enggan membeberkan permasalahan yang membuat proses perizinan terkatung-katung. Hanya menjelaskan telah memenuhi persyaratan yang dibutuhkan dalam pengajuan Amdal.

“ Sudah dilakukan high rate test dan diajukan sebagai dokumen Amdal revisi,” ujarnya.

Muhammad menerangkan revisi Amdal dilakukan lantaran kapasitas pabrik meningkat menjadi 235 ribu barel per hari (bph). Dalam Amdal sebelumnya kapasitas produksi hanya sebesar 220 ribu bph. 

Dia menegaskan peningkatan kapasitas itu berdasarkan serangkaian pengujian. Bahkan dalam dokumen Amdal pun telah dilampirkan aspek lingkungan dan emisi. Dalam rapat tersebut Muhammad mengungkapkan peningkatan cadangan terbukti lebih dari dua kali lipat dari sebelumnya. Cadangan terbukti itu mencapai 940 juta barel. Sementara sebelumnya dalam Plan Of Development (POD) terungkap cadangan migas sebesar 325 juta barel.

“Ini artinya peak lapangan akan lebih lama dari prediksi lapangan Banyu Urip saat PoD dulu,” ujarnya.

Lambannya Amdal Blok Cepu sudah diketahui juga oleh Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif. Pihaknya segera berkomunikasi dengan Pemerintah Daerah Bojonegoro.

“Kami harapkan Amdal ini segera dikeluarkan. Untuk itu kami akan melakukan komunikasi dengan Pemda,” ujarnya akhir pekan lalu.

Arifin menuturkan Blok Cepu memiliki peran penting dalam peningkatan produksi lifting minyak nasional. Apalagi Presiden Joko Widodo menugaskan untuk menggenjot produksi lifting migas nasional. Oleh sebab itu proses persetujuan Amdal menjadi pintu untuk mengerek produksi lifting minyak nasional. Pasalnya Blok Cepu menyumbang 30% dari lifting nasional. 

    Intinya kan ini bagaimana kita bisa meningkatkan lifting dari yang sekarang ada untuk naik sedikit lagi. Untuk naik itu memang harus merubah lagi Amdal. Jadi memang untuk isu Amdal ini, kita sedang minta daerah untuk bisa fleksibilitas,” tuturnya.

ESDM Asks Bojonegero Regency Government to Immediately Issue Cepu Block Amdal



The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) asked the Bojonegero Regional Government (Pemkab) to immediately complete the approval process for Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA/AMDAL) in the Cepu Block. The AMDAL revision is related to an increase in the production capacity of the Cepu Block in the range of 225-230 thousand barrels of oil per day (BOPD).

the Cepu Block

ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif has heard about the AMDAL issuance process that is not going to be finalized soon. He immediately communicated with the Bojonegoro Regional Government.

Arifin Tasrif

"We hope that this EIA will be issued soon. For this reason, we will communicate with the local government, "Arifin said.

Arifin said that the Cepu Block has an important role in increasing national oil lifting production. Moreover, President Joko Widodo is tasked with increasing national oil and gas lifting production. Therefore the EIA approval process is a way to increase national oil lifting production.

"The point is this, how can we increase the lifting from the current one to go up a little more. To ride it does have to change the EIA again. So indeed for this EIA issue, we are asking the regions to be flexible, "he said.

Separately Chair of Commission VII of the House of Representatives (DPR) Sugeng Suparwoto asked the regional government to simplify the licensing process. Not even hinder that can have a broad impact.

"Appeal to the Regional Government, make it the Regional Government that prepares a red carpet for investors. How come we want to increase lifting but instead we make it difficult to permit, logic where ? "he said.

The Cepu Block has indeed become a mainstay of national oil lifting production. With its onstream Kedung Keris Field at the end of last year, it could increase the production of the Cepu Block by 10 thousand bopd.

The average production of the Cepu Block until September 2019 is around 216 thousand bopd. This means that the production of oil and gas blocks in Bojonegoro has exceeded the existing capacity of 220 thousand bopd.

Azi N. Alam

Meanwhile, Vice President of Public and Government Affairs of Exxon Mobil Indonesia, Azi N. Alam, said that the facilities in the Banyu Urip field could be used to produce oil up to 235 thousand bopd. This is the result of a series of tests carried out. But the increase in production is waiting for the AMDAL to be issued.


"From the test results it can be for 235 thousand, production facilities can, the reservoir is also safe, so it is only waiting for AMDAL," he said.

ESDM Minta Pemkab Bojonegero Segera Terbitkan Amdal Blok Cepu

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) meminta Pemerintah Daerah (Pemkab) Bojonegero segera menyelesaikan proses persetujuan Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (AMDAL) di Blok Cepu. Revisi AMDAL itu terkait peningkatan kapasitas produksi Blok Cepu dikisaran 225-230 ribu barel minyak per hari (BOPD).

Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif sudah mendengar terkait proses penerbitan AMDAL yang tidak segera final. Pihaknya segera berkomunikasi dengan Pemda Bojonegoro.

“Kami harapkan Amdal ini segera dikeluarkan. Untuk itu kami akan melakukan komunikasi dengan Pemda,” kata Arifin.

Arifin menuturkan Blok Cepu memiliki peran penting dalam peningkatan produksi lifting minyak nasional. Apalagi Presiden Joko Widodo menugaskan untuk meningkatkan produksi lifting minyak dan gas nasional. Oleh sebab itu proses persetujuan Amdal menjadi cara untuk meningkatkan produksi lifting minyak nasional.

“Intinya kan ini bagaimana kita bisa meningkatkan lifting dari yang sekarang ada untuk naik sedikit lagi. Untuk naik itu memang harus merubah lagi Amdal. Jadi memang untuk isu Amdal ini, kita sedang minta daerah untuk bisa fleksibilitas,” ujarnya.

Secara terpisah Ketua Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) Sugeng Suparwoto meminta pemda mempermudah proses perizinan. Bukan malah menghambat yang bisa memberi dampak luas.

“Himbauan untuk Pemda, jadikanlah bahwa Pemda itu yang menyiapkan karpet merah untuk investor. Kok kita mau meningkatkan lifting tetapi kita malah mempersulit ijin, logika dimana?” ujarnya.

Blok Cepu memang menjadi andalan produksi lifting minyak nasional. Dengan onstream-nya Lapangan Kedung Keris pada akhir tahun lalu dapat menambah produksi Blok Cepu sebesar 10 ribu bopd. 

Rata-rata produksi Blok Cepu hingga September 2019 berkisar 216 ribu bopd. Artinya produksi blok migas di Bojonegoro tersebut sudah melebihi kapasitas yang ada sebesar 220 ribu bopd. 

Sementara itu Vice President Public and Government Affairs Exxon Mobil Indonesia, Azi N. Alam, menuturkan fasilitas yang ada di lapangan Banyu Urip bisa untuk memproduksi minyak hingga 235 ribu bopd. Hal ini merupakan hasil dari serangkaian tes yang dilakukan. Namun peningkatan produksi itu menunggu AMDAL diterbitkan.

“Dari hasil tes bisa untuk 235 ribu, fasilitas produksi bisa, reservoirnya juga aman, jadi memang hanya menunggu AMDAL,” ujarnya.

Oil and Gas Project Permit Can Be Completed in Three Days



SKK Migas launched the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) program for various licenses.

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKKK Migas) released the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) program to simplify the various licensing processes in the upstream oil and gas sector.


SKK Migas hopes that this system can accelerate the implementation of oil and gas projects in Indonesia. Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said ODSP was one of the implementations of the SKK Migas strategy in resolving licensing constraints related to oil and gas projects.

"With the ODSP, both SKK Migas and the Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) will become a team. Both of them coordinate with each other while proactively supervising various permits," he said.

Now, oil and gas contractors do not need to walk independently in managing permits related to oil and gas projects. Before there was an ODSP, sometimes KKKS took care of direct permits to several related agencies, but there were also those who passed SKK Migas first, Dwi said.

Inevitably, due to the seemingly complicated and separate licensing process, it took about 14 days for the contractor to obtain a permit. With the ODSP, the licensing process only takes three days, "Dwi claimed.

The problem is that oil and gas entrepreneurs have long complained about the licensing process. As a result, oil and gas investment in the country continues to decline, in addition to the impact of global economic conditions that are not attractive.


Referring to the SKK Migas data, the realization of investment in upstream oil and gas still misses the target in 2019, investment in upstream oil and gas is recorded at the US $ 11.49 billion, or only equal to 78.16% of the 2019 target of US $ 14.7 billion. The realization came from exploration investments of US $ 0.62 billion, development of US $ 1.59 billion, production of US $ 8.37 billion and administration of US $ 0.91 billion.

Dwi hopes the presence of ODSP can realize Indonesia's ideals in 2030, which is capable of producing 1 million Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD). The ODSP program includes three services, namely licensing consultations, preparation, and equipment of licensing requirements, as well as escorting or advocating for licensing constraints.

Inpex Corporation

Inpex Masela Ltd Corporate Service Vice President Nico Muhyiddin rate, licensing is one of the main obstacles that can slow down oil and gas projects. Through ODSP, SKK Migas and contractors can collaborate so that licensing issues can be seen precisely. We hope that issues related to project permits can be handled more quickly, he said.

the Masela Block

At present, Inpex Masela Ltd is still in charge of environmental impact analysis (EIA) of the Masela Block Abadi Gas Field project. Previously, they had also continued to coordinate with SKK Migas in managing the permit.

Azi N Alam

Once ODSP is implemented, the EIA permit process for Inpex Masela Ltd can be faster. Vice President of Public and Government Affairs of ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam said ODSP had the right initiative from SKK Migas in facilitating the bureaucracy in licensing oil and gas projects in the country. We appreciate this program especially since the final goal is to improve the production capability of the KKKS, he said.

With ODSP, contractors and SKK Migas can improve communication and coordination in obtaining permits to relevant agencies, the Ministry of Agriculture and Spatial Planning and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Izin Proyek Migas Bisa Selesai dalam Tiga Hari 

     SKK Migas meluncurkan program One Door Service Policy (ODSP) untuk berbagai perizinan.

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKKK Migas) merilis program One Door Service Policy (ODSP) untuk mempermudah proses berbagai perizinan di sektor hulu migas. 

SKK Migas mengharapkan sistem tersehut bisa mempercepat pelaksanaan proyek-proyek migas di Indonesia. Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto menyampaikan, ODSP mempakan salah satu implementasi strategi SKK Migas dalam menyelesaikan hambatan perizinan yang berkaitan dengan proyek migas.

"Dengan adanya ODSP, baik SKK Migas dan Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS) akan menjadi satu tim. Keduanya saling berkoordinasi sekaligus mengawasi secara proaktif dalam mengurus berbagai perizinan,” kata dia.

Kini, kontraktor migas tidak perlu berjalan sendiri-sendiri Iagi dalam mengurus perizinan terkait proyek migas. Sebelum ada ODSP, kadang KKKS mengurus izin Iangsung ke beberapa instansi terkait, tapi ada juga yang Iewat SKK Migas dulu, ujar Dwi. 

Tidak pelak, akibat proses perizinan yang terkesan berbelit-belit dan terpisah, maka membutuhkan waktu sekitar 14 hari bagi kontraktor untuk mendapatkan izin. Dengan adanya ODSP, proses perizinan hanya memakan waktu tiga hari," klaim Dwi.

Soalnya, para pengusaha migas sudah lama mengeluhkan proses perizinan. Alhasil, investasi migas di tanah air terus menurun, selain imbas kondisi ekonomi global yang sedang tidak menarik. 

Mengacu data SKK Migas, realisasi investasi di hulu migas masih meleset dari target sepanjang2019, investasi di hulu migas tercatat US$ 11,49 miliar atau hanya setara 78.16% dari target 2019 yang senilai US$ 14,7 miliar. Realisasi tersebut berasal dari investasi eksplorasi US$ 0,62 miliar, pengembangan US$ 1,59 miliar, produksi US$ 8,37 miliar dan administrasi senilai US$ 0,91 miliar.

Dwi berharap kehadiran ODSP dapat mewujudkan cita-cita Indonesia di tahun 2030 nanti, yakni mampu memproduksi minyak sebanyak 1 juta barrel oil per day(bopd). Program ODSP meliputi tiga Iayanan yakni konsultasi perizinan, penyiapan dan perlengkapan syarat perizinan, serta pengawalan atau advokasi terhadap kendala perijnan.

Vice President Corporate Service Inpex Masela Ltd Nico Muhyiddin menilai, perizinan menjadi salah satu kendala utama yang bisa memperlambat proyek migas. Melalui ODSP, SKK Migas dan kontraktor bisa berkolaborasi sehingga masalah perizinan bisa dilihat secara tepat. Harapan kami masalah terkait izin proyek bisa ditangani lebih cepat, kata dia.

Saat ini, Inpex Masela Ltd masih mengurus analisis dampak Iingkungan (amdal) proyek Lapangan Gas Abadi Blok Masela. Sebelumnya, mereka juga sudah terus berkoordinasi dengan SKK Migas dalam mengurus izin tersebut. 

Begitu ODSP diterapkan, proses izin amdal bagi Inpex Masela Ltd bisa lebih cepat. Vice President Public and Government affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam menyebut, ODSP mempakan inisiatif yang tepat dari SKK Migas dalam mempermudah birokrasi perizinan proyek migas di tanah air. Kami apresiasi program ini apalagi tujuan akhirnya adalah meningkankan kemampuan produksi dari KKKS, sebut dia.

Dengan ODSP, kontraktor dan SKK Migas dapat meningkatkan komunikasi dan koordinasi dalam mengurus izin ke instansi terkait, Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang serta Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan.

SKK Migas Ensures Oil and Gas Licensing for Only Three Days



The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) accelerates and simplifies the upstream oil and gas licensing process to only three days to ensure all oil and gas projects are completed on time. This year, there are 12 oil and gas projects targeted to start operating.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said oil and gas exploration and exploitation activities require several licenses involving more than one agency. Therefore, with the active support of SKK Migas, he is optimistic that there will be no more constraints on licensing in the upstream oil and gas sector and licensing can be completed sooner. 


    The acceleration of this permit can be realized by the inauguration of the One Door Services Policy (ODSP).

"So that the licensing process can be accelerated from the usual 15 days to only three days," he said after inaugurating the ODSP.

Through ODSP, the entire service contract licensing contract (KKKS) licensing process is carried out in one door and the process is also faster. SKK Migas and KKKS jointly conduct research on the completeness of each licensing requirement from various agencies that exist today. 

    Even more than that, SKK Migas will help the KKKS to be able to fulfill the documents that are required for licensing and assist the licensing arrangements in the relevant agencies.

According to Dwi, with the delay in the completion of the upstream oil and gas project due to the ODSR due to the long and time-consuming process of licensing, this will not happen again. This is important considering that if the project is completed on time, the project costs will also not increase greater than agreed upon and implementation is more efficient.

"Because any delays in the upstream oil and gas project will lead to cost escalation. The impact on the government is that state revenue is delayed and not optimal, "he stressed.

He said the ODSP service completes the operation of the Integrated Operation Center (IOC) conducted by his party at the end of last year. He is optimistic that with these two improvements, the upstream oil and gas target this year can be achieved. Because the operation of the IOC and ODSP can overcome several obstacles, including in the field of licensing and data accuracy.

"We have enough time to make improvements if there are obstacles found during the implementation of the WP&B (work plan and budget). We have data to prevent negative events that could hamper upstream oil and gas operations this year, "Dwi explained.

Going forward, he hopes that ODSP services can provide a real and optimal contribution to improving the national oil and gas investment climate. Thus, Indonesia is able to compete with other countries in the region such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as other parts of the world, considering that upstream oil and gas investments are cross-border investments.

"This is the stage we want to build transformation, according to the government's vision and the direction of the Minister (ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif), we must always improve investment in upstream oil and gas. One of them is to pursue the dream of 1 million BPD (barrels per day), "Dwi said.

Vice President Corporate Services of INPEX Masela Ltd. Nico Muhyiddin and ExxonMobil Indonesia's Vice President of Public and Government Affairs Azi N Alam appreciated SKK Migas's steps in implementing ODSP services. - each company.

Azi N Alam

"As we know licensing so far is something that can slow down the project. This step is very appropriate, we hope the problem will be dealt with quickly and appropriately. We hope that the implementation of this program runs well so that the target can be achieved properly, "said Nico.

12 Projects

Meanwhile, SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno said there were 12 oil and gas projects planned to start operating this year. One of the biggest is the Merakes Project undertaken by ENI Indonesia.

"Merakes will be operational in the fourth quarter of this year," he said.



In the Merakes Field, ENI plans to drill six underwater wells and build an underwater pipeline system that will be connected to the floating production unit / FPU Jangkrik facility in the Muara Bakau Block.

The peak production of the Merakes Field is estimated to reach 60,305 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd barrels equivalent). In the first quarter, Julius continued, there were four projects targeted to operate. In particular, Bukit Tua Phase-3 with an estimated production of 31.5 million cubic feet per day / mmscfd by Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd, Grati Pressure Lowering 30 mmscfd by Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd, Buntal-5 45 mmscfd by Medco E&P Natuna Ltd, and the Sembakung Power Plant by PT Pertamina EP.


Furthermore, four projects will operate in the second quarter. In particular, the Scissor Randu Project with an estimated production of 3 mmscfd by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Randu Scissors, a 15 mmscfd Betung Compressor by PT Pertamina EP Malacca Strait Phase-13,000 BPD by EMP Mallacca Strait, and Meliwis 20 mmscfd by Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd . 


     Finally in the third quarter of 2020 there were three oil and gas projects scheduled to operate. These three projects are the 2.4 mmscfd Beauty Project by PT Sele Raya Belida, the 150 mmscfd LP-MP Compressor by PT Pertamina EP and Peciko 8A 8 mmscfd by PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

In 2020, national oil and gas lifting is set at 1.95 million boepd, up slightly from last year's 1.8 million boepd. Specifically, oil production rose to 755 thousand bpd from the realization of 746 thousand bpd, and gas to 1.19 million boepd from the realization of 1.06 million boepd.

SKK Migas Pastikan Perizinan Migas Hanya Tiga Hari

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mempercepat dan mempermudah proses perizinan hulu migas menjadi hanya tiga hari untuk memastikan seluruh proyek migas selesai tepat waktu. Pada tahun ini, terdapat 12 proyek migas yang ditargetkan mulai beroperasi.

Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto menuturkan, kegiatan eksplorasi maupun eksploitasi migas membutuhkan beberapa perizinan yang melibatkan lebih dari satu instansi. Karenanya, dengan dukungan aktif SKK Migas, dia optimistis tidak akan ada lagi kendala perizinan di hulu migas dan perizinan bisa selesai lebih cepat. Percepatan perizinan ini dapat direalisasikan dengan diresmikannya One Door Services Policy (ODSP).

“Sehingga proses perizinan bisa dipercepat dari biasanya 15 hari menjadi hanya tiga hari,” kata dia usai meresmikan ODSP.

Melalui ODSP, seluruh layanan proses perizinan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) dilaksanakan dalam satu pintu dan prosesnya juga lebih cepat. SKK Migas dan KKKS bersama-sama melakukan penelitian atas kelengkapan untuk setiap persyaratan perizinan dari berbagai instansi yang ada saat ini. Bahkan lebih dari itu, SKK Migas akan membantu KKKS untuk dapat memenuhi dokumen yang menjadi persyaratan perizinan serta mendampingi pengurusan perizinan di instansi terkait.  

Menurut Dwi, dengan adanya ODSR keterlambatan penyelesaian proyek hulu migas karena hambatan proses perizinan yang lama dan menghabiskan waktu, tidak akan terjadi lagi. Hal ini penting mengingat jika proyek selesai tepat waktu, maka biaya proyek juga tidak akan bertambah lebih besar dari yang telah disetujui dan pelaksanaan lebih efisien.

“Karena setiap keterlambatan proyek hulu migas akan menimbulkan ekskalasi biaya. Dampak bagi pemerintah adalah penerimaan negara tertunda dan tidak optimal,” tegas dia.

Layanan ODSP disebutnya melengkapi pengoperasian Integrated Operation Center (IOC) yang dilakukan pihaknya pada akhir tahun lalu. Dia optimis dengan dua perbaikan ini, target hulu migas pada tahun ini dapat tercapai. Pasalnya, beroperasinya IOC dan ODSP dapat menyelesaikan beberapa hambatan, antara lain di bidang perizinan dan akurasi data.

“Kami memiliki cukup waktu untuk melakukan perbaikan jika ada kendala yang ditemukan saat implementasi WP&B (work plan and budget/rencana kerja dan anggaran). Kami memiliki data untuk mencegah kejadian negatif yang dapat menghambat operasional hulu migas di tahun ini,” jelas Dwi.

Ke depannya, pihaknya berharap layanan ODSP dapat memberikan kontribusi yang nyata dan optimal untuk meningkatkan iklim investasi minyak dan gas nasional. Sehingga, Indonesia mampu bersaing dengan negara-negara lain di kawasan seperti Malaysia, Thailand dan Vietnam, maupun belahan dunia lainnya, mengingat investasi hulu minyak dan gas adalah investasi lintas negara.

“Ini tahapan kami ingin membangun transformasi, sesuai visi pemerintah dan arahan Pak Menteri (Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif) , kami harus selalu memperbaiki investasi di hulu migas. Salah satunya untuk mengejar mimpi 1 juta bph (barel per hari) ,” tutur Dwi.

Vice President Corporate Services INPEX Masela Ltd Nico Muhyiddin dan Vice President Public and Government Affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam mengapresiasi langkah SKK Migas menerapkan layanan ODSP Kedua perusahaan ini sudah secara langsung merasakan manfaat ODSP ketika mengurus analisi dampak lingkungan (Amdal) proyek migas yang digarap masing-masing perusahaan.

“Seperti diketahui perizinan selama ini merupakan hal yang dapat memperlambat proyek. Langkah ini sangat tepat, harapan kami permasalahan akan ditangani dengan cepat dan tepat. Kami harapkan implementasi program ini berjalan dengan baik sehingga target yang dituju bisa dicapai dengan benar,” ujar Nico.

12 Proyek

Sementara itu, Deputi Operasi SKK Migas Julius Wiratno mengatakan, terdapat 12 proyek migas yang direncanakan mulai beroperasi pada tahun ini. Salah satu yang paling besar adalah Proyek Merakes yang dikerjakan ENI Indonesia.

“Merakes akan beroperasi pada kuartal keempat tahun ini,” ujarnya.

Di Lapangan Merakes, ENI rencananya akan mengebor enam sumur bawah laut serta membangun sistem pipa bawah laut yang akan terhubung dengan fasilitas floating production unit/FPU Jangkrik di Blok Muara Bakau. 

Puncak produksi Lapangan Merakes diperkirakan bisa mencapai 60.305 barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/ boepd). Pada kuartal pertama, Julius melanjutkan, terdapat empat proyek yang ditargetkan beroperasi. 

     Rincinya, Bukit Tua Phase-3 dengan estimasi produksi 31,5 juta kaki kubik per hari/ mmscfd oleh Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd, Grati Pressure Lowering 30 mmscfd oleh Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd, Buntal-5 45 mmscfd oleh Medco E&P Natuna Ltd, dan Sembakung Power Plant oleh PT Pertamina EP.

Selanjutnya, empat proyek akan beroperasi di kuartal kedua. Rincinya, Proyek Randu Gunting dengan perkiraan produksi 3 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Randu Gunting, Kompresor Betung 15 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina EP Malacca Strait Phase-13.000 bph oleh EMP Mallacca Strait, serta Meliwis 20 mmscfd oleh Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd. 

      Terakhir di kuartal ketiga 2020 terdapat tiga proyek migas yang dijadwalkan beroperasi. Ketiga proyek ini adalah Proyek Cantik 2,4 mmscfd oleh PT Sele Raya Belida, Kompresor LP-MP SKG-19 150 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina ER serta Peciko 8A 8 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

Pada 2020, lifting migas nasional ditetapkan 1,95 juta boepd, naik sedikit dari realisasi tahun lalu 1,8 juta boepd. Rincinya, produksi minyak naik menjadi 755 ribu bph dari realisasi 746 ribu bph, serta gas menjadi 1,19 juta boepd dari realisasi 1,06 juta boepd.
