Giant Fields Become a Stack

The investment in the oil and gas sector can only accelerate significantly if there are already findings of giant work areas in Indonesia.

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) said that the increase in investment in the oil and gas sector had a lot to expect from the findings of the giant working area. 

    Reflecting on the investment realization up to 31 October 2018 which reached US $ 8.7 billion or 61% of the total planned target for this year, the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) stressed that the future potential does not change performance .

the Masela Block

At least until the production facilities of the Masela Block are realized, which is around the year 2021-2022 and the deep-sea oil and gas project. SKK Migas Head Amien Sunaryadi said that the investment in the oil and gas sector in Indonesia does not seem to be big, because there is no work area (WK) that has large-scale oil and gas reserves. "So investment will be large if there is a large discovery. "This year [targets] have not been achieved, there are various factors," he said

The stagnant oil and gas investment in 2018 was also triggered by the overtaking of exploration and exploitation drilling, because it was postponed next year. In the future, SKK Migas emphasizes that it is more committed to guarding the exploration exploration. 

     In 2019, the main upstream oil and gas project which is planned to produce only comes from the Gajah Puteri Bison Iguana Block. Production from the oil and gas field in Riau Islands is planned to be carried out in the third / 2019 quarter.

If next year oil and gas investment is relatively stagnant, the investment plan in 2020 looks more passionate. Because, there are four oil and gas blocks that will begin production. Call it like the Badik Block from West Badik (quarter III / 2020) which is currently in the development of the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) tender, Tangguh Train-3 Block (quarter III / 2020) which is in the construction phase, Wasambo Block (IV quarter / 2020) in the FEED process, as well as the MDA and MBH Blocks by HCML which are planned to produce in the third quarter / 2020.

the MDA and MBH Blocks by HCML

Amien said that for the 2019 investment target it could not be predicted considering the cooperation contract work plan and budget (WPNB) of the contractor contractors (KKKS) were still being discussed. The oil and gas sector investment, according to Amien, can also be encouraged by the realization of a definite work commitment (KKP) for KKKS who already have the right to manage oil and gas block auctions with the Gross Split scheme.

Later, SKK Migas oversees the realization of the KKP contracted by the contractor in the first 5 years. Amien acknowledged that the KKP plan reported by the contractor was still based on the amount of investment and implementation per year, but did not include the projects being carried out. Especially for KKP, exploration activities are divided into WK and outside the WK or open area.

For exploration activities within the WK, KKKS can conduct surveys, airborne magnetic, airborne gravity, seismic, and exploration drilling. Meanwhile for the open area, activities ranging from surveys, airborne magnetic, airborne gravity and seismic.

"Especially for the CTF, it is ensured that this money must be spent on exploration. What we have to guard, do not let them report large amounts of exploration in open areas, apparently the realization is smaller, "Amien said.

Previously, Deputy Minister of ESDM Arcandra Tahar stressed that by relying on the KKP presented in the Gross Split, the management of the exploration block was more directed.

"The oil and gas business is indeed risky. Yes, it is calculated, because there is already initial data, if not from there, relying on government funds is not enough.

The KKP mechanism provides more certainty of investment funds for exploration than relying on funds issued through the State Budget (APBN). At least this is recorded from the amount of investment in the period 2010-2019 by the Geological Agency.

Ladang Raksasa Menjadi Tumpuan

Investasi sektor minyak dan gas bumi hanya bisa melesat signifikan bila sudah ada temuan wilayah kerja raksasa di Indonesia.

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) menyatakan meningkatnya investasi sektor minyak dan gas berharap banyak pada temuan wilayah kerja raksasa. Berkaca dari realisasi investasi hingga 31 Oktober 2018 yang mencapai US$ 8,7 miliar atau 61% dari total target rencana tahun ini, Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) menegaskan bahwa potensi ke

depan tidak banyak perubahan kinerja. 

Setidaknya sampai fasilitas produksi Blok Masela terealisasi yaitu sekitar tahun pada 2021-2022 dan proyek migas laut dalam. Kepala SKK Migas Amien Sunaryadi mengatakan investasi sektor migas di Indoensia terkesan tidak besar, karena belum ditemukan wilayah kerja (WK) yang memiliki cadangan migas skala besar “Jadi investasi akan besar kalau ada discovery besar. Nah tahun ini tidak tercapai [target], ada macam-macam faktornya,” katanya 

Tersendatnya investasi migas 2018 juga dipicu pergesaran pengeboran ekplorasi dan eksploitasi yang batal dilaksanakan, karena diundur tahun depan. Ke depan SKK Migas menegaskan untuk lebih berkomitmen mengawal realiasi ekplorasi. Pada 2019, proyek utama hulu migas yang rencananya berproduksi hanya bersumber dari Blok Bison Iguana Gajah Puteri. Produksi dari lapangan migas di Kepulauan Riau ini rencananya terlaksana pada kuartal III/2019.

Jika pada tahun depan investasi migas relatif stagnan, rencana penanaman modal pada 2020 tampak lebih bergairah. Pasalnya, ada empat blok migas yang akan mulai berproduksi. Sebut saja seperti Blok Badik dari West Badik (kuartal III/2020) yang saat ini dalam perkembangan tender Front End Engineering Design (FEED), Blok Tangguh Train-3 (kuartal III/2020) yang berada pada tahap konstruksi, Blok Wasambo (kuartal IV/2020) dalam proses FEED, serta Blok MDA dan MBH milik HCML yang rencananya berproduksi pada kuartal lll/2020.

Amien mengatakan untuk target investasi 2019 belum dapat diperkirakan mengingat rencana kerja dan anggaran (WPNB) kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) masih dibahas. Investasi sektor migas, menurut Amien, juga dapat didorong dengan realisasi komitmen kerja pasti (KKP) bagi KKKS yang sudah memiliki hak mengelola lelang blok migas dengan skema Gross Split.  

Nantinya, SKK Migas mengawasi realisasi KKP yang disusun kontraktor dalam 5 tahun pertama. Amien mengakui rencana KKP yang dilaporkan kontraktor masih berdasarkan jumlah investasi dan pelaksanaan per tahunnya, tetapi tidak menyertakan proyek yang dikerjakan. Khusus untuk KKP, aktivitas eksplorasi terbagi di dalam WK dan di luar WK atau open area. 

Untuk aktivitas eksplorasi di dalam WK, KKKS dapat melakukan survei, airborne magnetic, airborne gravity, seismik, dan pengeboran eksplorasi. Sementara itu untuk open area, aktivitasnya mulai dari survei, airborne magnetic, airborne gravity dan seismik.

“Khusus untuk KKP dipastikan, bahwa uang ini harus dibelanjakan untuk eksplorasi. Yang harus kami jaga, jangan sampai mereka melaporkan eksplorasi di area terbuka dengan jumlah besar, ternyata realisasinya lebih kecil,” kata Amien.

Sebelumnya, Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar menegaskan dengan mengandalkan KKP yang dihadirkan dalam Gross Split, pengelolaan blok eksplorasi lebih terarah. 

“Bisnis migas itu memang berisiko. Ya dihitung, karena sudah ada data awalnya, kalau tidak dari situ, mengandalkan dari dana pemerintah tidak cukup.”

Mekanisme KKP lebih memberikan kepastian dana investasi untuk eksplorasi daripada mengandalkan dana yang dikeluarkan lewat Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN). Setidaknya hal ini terekam dari jumlah investasi dalam kurun 2010-2019 oleh Badan Geologi.

Rekind Targeting Gas Tiung Biru

PT Rekayasa Industri, the developer of the Cirebon-Semarang segment of the transmission gas pipeline project, is targeting the supply of natural gas from the Jambaran Tiung Biru Field in Bojonegoro, Central Java to be channeled through the Cirebon-Semarang gas pipeline.

Yanuar Budinorman, Managing Director of Industri Industri (Rekind), said that the process of discussing the construction of the Cirebon-Semarang gas pipeline project has entered the final stage, including regarding the source of gas supply. Currently there are two gas sources being tested by the subsidiary, PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero).

Jambaran-Tiung Biru, Cepu Block

The two gas sources come from Jambaran-Tiung Biru, Cepu Block which is managed by PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) as many as 20 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd). The natural gas supply will also be imported and the Madura BD Field, the Madura Strait Block managed by Husky CNOOC Madura Ltd. (HCML).

"That 20 MMscfd from Jambaran-Tiung Biru is one of them. We begged again, another 20 MMscfd plus from Husky. So because we have partnered with Pertagas [PT Pertamina Gas] and BBG [PT Bayu Buana Gemilang] who are looking for their source, but they already know the source and everything, "he said recently.

Rekind targets the physical construction of the gas pipeline to begin at the end of December 2018. PT Pertamina EP Cepu said that it would be available the addition of gas production from the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Field development project amounted to 20 MMscfd.

Pertamina EP President Director Cepu Jamsaton Nababan said the increase in production from the initial estimate of 172 MMscfd came from optimizing project design. Later, from the total production of 192 MMscfd, the allocation of 100 MMscfd is for Pertamina (Persero), which is then channeled to PLN for electricity needs in East and Central Java.

Gas of 72 MMscfd will supply industrial needs in Central and East Java. Meanwhile, his side is currently looking for potential buyers for gas allocation of 20 MMscfd.

"Is the process going to all Persero or other buyers. If there is interest, please. "

Meanwhile, Rekind, a provider of engineering, procurement and construction (engineering, procurement, construction / EPC), was awarded in the construction of the Kamojang 5 Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP).

Through the holding of the Conference of the Asean Federation of Engineering Organization (CAFEO 36th) on 12-14 November 2018, Rekind was awarded the 2018 Asean Engineering Award, for the company category.

Rekind Incar Gas Tiung Biru

PT Rekayasa Industri, pengembang proyek pipa gas transmisi ruas Cirebon-Semarang, mentargetkan suplai gas bumi dari Lapangan Jambaran Tiung Biru di Bojonegoro, Jawa Tengah untuk dialirkan melalui pipa gas Cirebon-Semarang.

Direktur Utama Rekayasa Industri (Rekind) Yanuar Budinorman mengatakan, proses pembahasan pembangunan proyek pipa gas ruas Cirebon-Semarang telah memasuki tahap akhir, termasuk mengenai sumber pasokan gas. Saat ini sudah ada dua sumber gas yang tengah dicoba oleh anak usaha PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) tersebut.

Dua sumber gas tersebut berasal dari Jambaran-Tiung Biru, Blok Cepu yang dikelola PT Pertamina EP Cepu sebanyak 20 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd). Suplai gas bumi juga akan didatangkan dan Lapangan Madura BD, Blok Madura Strait yang dikelola oleh Husky CNOOC Madura Ltd. (HCML).

“Itu 20 MMscfd dari Jambaran-Tiung Biru salah satunya. Kami lagi mohonkan, 20 MMscfd lagi plus dari Husky. Jadi karena kami sudah bermitra dengan Pertagas [PT Pertamina Gas] dan BBG [PT Bayu Buana Gemilang] yang mencari sumbernya mereka, tetapi sudah tahu sumber dan mana aja,” katanya, belum lama ini.

Rekind menargetkan, pembangunan fisik pipa gas tersebut dimulai pada akhir Desember 2018. PT Pertamina EP Cepu menyatakan akan terdapat

penambahan produksi gas dari proyek pengembangan Lapangan Jambaran-Tiung Biru sebesar 20 MMscfd. 

Direktur Utama Pertamina EP Cepu Jamsaton Nababan mengatakan, peningkatan produksi dari perkiraan awal sebesar 172 MMscfd tersebut berasal dari optimalisasi desain proyek. Nantinya, dari total produksi 192 MMscfd tersebut, alokasi sebesar 100 MMscfd diperuntukkan untuk Pertamina (Persero), yang kemudian dialirkan ke PLN untuk kebutuhan listrik di Jawa Timur dan Jawa Tengah.

Gas sebanyak 72 MMscfd akan memasok kebutuhan industri di Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur. Sementara itu, pihaknya saat ini sedang mencari calon pembeli untuk alokasi gas sebesar 20 MMscfd. 

“Sedang proses apakah ke Persero semua atau pembeli lain. Kalau ada yang minat silahkan.”

Sementara itu, Rekind, perusahaan penyedia rekayasa, pengadaan dan konstruksi (engineering, procurement, Construction/EPC) , mendapatkan penghargaan dalam pembangunan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Panas Bumi (PLTP) Kamojang 5.

Pertamina to drill gas wells in Bojonegoro next year

State-owned oil and gas holding company Pertamina, through its subsidiary Pertamina EP CEPU (PEPC), is set to start drilling natural gas wells in the second half of 2019 at the Jambaran-Tiung Biru (JTB) gas project in Bojonegoro regency, East Java.

ln total, six Wells in the site could produce 192 million metric standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of natural gas - excluding CO2 content - according to the firm’s recent data. PEPC president director Jamsaton Nababan told the media in a recent press briefing that one well could generate around 60 mmscfd, but that figure did not yet exclude CO2 content.

“We will start to drill two out of six wells next July” he said.

Four wells are located in Wellpad Jambaran East and will be drilled starting the third quarter of 2019 until the iirst quarter of 2020, while the remaining wells located in Wellpad Jambaran Central will be drilled starting the second quarter of 2020 until the fourth quarter of the same year Jamsaton added that PEPC had resolved all issues regarding land procurement. 

The site of the JTB project was previously part ofa local village and also land owned by state-owned forestry company Perhutani, while some was privately owned.

“We have settled all issues regarding land permits. The remaining work in terms of land procurement is now only administration issues,” he assured.

   The site of the JTB project, a 98 percent stake of which is owned by PEPC and the remainder by another Pertamina subsidiary PT Pertamina EP spans across four regencies, four Villages and 14 million square meters of land previously owned by Perhutani.

PEPC has set a deadline of the second quarter of 2021 for the project’s full operation, which will be marked by a maiden gas transmission from the field to its buyers.

Jamsaton said that once the field had started to produce gas at 192 mmscfd, 100 mmscfd would be allocated for state electricity firm PLN and the rest for industries in East Java. 

“The gas price from our wells will be set at US$6.70 per million British thermal units [mmbtu] and once it reaches PLN, the price will be $7.60 per mmbtu [because of transmission fees],”he said. 

To fund the project, PEPC has set aside.$1.5 billion, $984 million of which will be allocated for the development of a gas-processing facility (GPF) that will be constructed by a consortium of engineering firms, namely PT Rekayasa Industri and PT Japan Gas Corporation.

The GPF has a total production capacity of 330 mmscfd of gas. However, given the complexity ofthe CO2 content in the field of around 30 percent, the project-will only produce 192 mmscfd of gas. It' was previously reported that the CO2 content from JTB project will be utilized by PEP in its Sukowati field in East Java to boost the units oil production with enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology called a CO2- Hopding strategy. .

Furthermore, JTB general manager Bob Adibrata said that of the total investment to develop the GPF of $984 million, less than 1 percent of the funds had been utilized. 

"Meanwhile, construction of the GPF has reached 8.31 percent, of the target of 9.14 percent. We are running a bit late mainly in the engineering phase,” he said, adding that the firm was in the process of completing the project’s engineering design.

Bob added that the upcoming rainy season, especially the risk of Hooding, would be a challenge for the project development until the year end.

2021, Cirebon-Semarang Gas Pipeline is Targeted to Operate

After being delayed for 11 years, the Cirebon-Semarang gas transmission pipeline finally resumed. The pipeline, which is part of the Transjawa Pipe, is targeted to start operating in 2021. Managing Director of PT Rekayasa Industrial (Persero) Yanuar Budinorman said that his party is trying to make the Cirebon-Semarang pipeline begin construction at the end of this year. With an estimate of construction taking around 2.5 years, this pipeline is targeted to start operating in 2021.

"[Operation] is almost the same (with the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Project). So we connected from Pertagas (PT Pertamina Gas) "Gresik (East Java) -Semarang (Central Java). Semarang (Central Java) -Cirebon (West Java) we connect directly. It continues, "he said.

He added, the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Project is one of the sources of gas targeted by his party. Because, there is the potential for excess production of 20 million cubic feet per day (million standard cubic per day / mmscfd) of the gas project undertaken by PT Pertamina EP Cepu. In addition, gas supply of 20 mmscfd is also expected to be obtained from the Madura Strait Block operated by Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML).

"We operate with (gas supply) first. We fulfill it first (gas needs) in Kendal (Central Java), then we build it all the way to Cirebon (West Java), "Yanuar said.

Yanuar explained because it had partnered with Bayu Buana Gemilang (BBG) and PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas), these two companies were tasked with finding the gas source. For information, BBG and Pertagas in this case play a role as shipper or company that flows its gas through Pipes Cirebon (West Java) -Semarang (Central Java).

Industrial Engineering has signed the principal of the agreement (Head of Agreement / HoA) with PT BBG. Meanwhile, the Gas Transport Agreement (GTA) between Rekind and BBG will be realized in the near future. While the signing of the HoA between Rekind and Pertagas is still in the process of being finalized.

For the distribution of gas in West Java and Central Java, Rekind also works with Pertagas and Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD). In West Java, Rekind cooperates with PT Energi Negeri Mandiri. While in Central Java, Rekind partnered with PT Sarana Pembangunan Jawa Tengah. According to Yanuar, one of the targeted markets is the industry in the Kendal region, Central Java.

"Not only industrial estates, in Kendal there are many industries that need gas," he said.

After all the licenses are completed and the signing of the cooperation is complete, it will meet with the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) in the next 1-2 weeks. Together with BPH Migas, it will set a gas transportation fee (toll fee) for this Cirebon-Semarang Pipe.

At the same time, Rekind also coordinated with the Management Investment Consultant Project (PMIC) appointed by BPH Migas to discuss the toll fee.

"After meeting the Toll Fee, we hope that by the end of December we will start (ground breaking)," Yanuar said.

He is optimistic that the Cirebon-Semarang pipeline can be a sustainable gas energy supply solution to support industrial competitiveness in Java. Moreover, the potential of industrial consumers in West Java and Central Java is very large.

"For that we hope that all parties involved can be more cooperative so that the project can be started immediately this year and can be completed in accordance with the predetermined targets," Yanuar said.

This Cirebon-Semarang pipe is part of the Transjawa Pipe. The Trans Java gas pipeline integration project consists of three main projects. First, West Java is valued at US $ 300 million with the Cirebon-KHT (84 km) and Tegalgede-Muara Tawar lines (50 km). 

   Second, North Java costs US $ 400 million with the Cirebon-Semarang route (255 kin). Third, East Java worth US $ 360 million with the Semarang-Gresik route (271 km) and East Java Gas Pipeline (EJGP) -Grati worth US $ 58 million (22.1 km)

As is known, in 2006, Industrial Engineering was determined as the winner of the auction of special rights to the Cirebon-Semarang natural gas transmission segment by BPH Migas. At that time Rekind acted as a transporter who was the owner of a gas pipeline, while the gas buyer (off taker) was the Tambaklorok-Semarang PLTGU. The construction of the Cirebon-Semarang transmission gas segment had experienced problems due to the gas source that was not available at that time.

2021, Pipa Gas Cirebon-Semarang Ditargetkan Beroperasi

Setelah tertunda sampai 11 tahun, pipa transmisi gas Cirebon-Semarang akhirnya dimulai kembali. Pipa yang merupakan bagian dari Pipa Transjawa ini ditargetkan mulai beroperasi pada 2021. Direktur Utama PT Rekayasa lndustri (Persero) Yanuar Budinorman menuturkan, pihaknya berupaya agar Pipa Cirebon-Semarang dapat dimulai pembangunannya (ground breaking) pada akhir tahun ini. Dengan perkiraan konstruksi membutuhkan waktu sekitar 2,5 tahun, pipa ini ditargetkan bisa mulai beroperasi pada 2021.

“[Operasi] hampir sama (dengan Proyek Jambaran-Tiung Biru). Jadi kami sambung dari punya Pertagas (PT Pertamina Gas) ”Gresik (Jawa Timur)-Semarang (Jawa Tengah). Semarang (Jawa Tengah)-Cirebon (Jawa Barat) kami sambung secara langsung. Dimulai terus,” kata dia.

Ditambahkannya, Proyek Jambaran-Tiung Biru merupakan salah satu sumber gas yang ditargetkan pihaknya. Pasalnya, ada potensi kelebihan produksi 20 juta kaki kubik per hari (million standard cubic per day/mmscfd) dari proyek gas yang dikerjakan PT Pertamina EP Cepu tersebut. Selain itu, pasokan gas sebesar 20 mmscfd juga diharapkan dapat diperoleh dari Blok Madura Strait yang dioperasikan oleh Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML). 

“Kami operasikan dengan (pasokan gas) itu dulu. Kami penuhi dulu (kebutuhan gas) di Kendal (Jawa Tengah), kemudian kami membangun terus sampai Cirebon (Jawa Barat),” ujar Yanuar.

Yanuar menjelaskan karena pihaknya telah menggandeng Bayu Buana Gemilang (BBG) dan PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas), kedua perusahaan inilah yang bertugas mencari sumber gasnya. Sebagai informasi, BBG dan Pertagas dalam hal ini berperan sebagai shipper atau perusahaan yang mengalirkan gasnya melalui Pipa Cirebon (Jawa Barat)-Semarang (Jawa Tengah).

Rekayasa Industri telah menandatangi pokok perjanjian (Head of Agreement/ HoA) dengan PT BBG. Sedangkan, Gas Transport Agreement (GTA) antara Rekind dan BBG akan direalisasikan dalam waktu dekat. Sementara penandatanganan HoA antara Rekind dengan Pertagas masih dalam proses finalisasi. 

Untuk pendistribusian gas di Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah, Rekind juga bekerja sama dengan Pertagas dan Badan Usaha Milik Daerah (BUMD). Di Jawa Barat, Rekind menggandeng PT Energi Negeri Mandiri. Sementara di Jawa Tengah, Rekind bermitra dengan PT Sarana Pembangunan Jawa Tengah. Menurut Yanuar, salah satu pasar yang ditarget pihaknya adalah industri di wilayah Kendal, Jawa Tengah.

“Tidak hanya kawasan industri, di Kendal ternyata banyak industri yang membutuhkan gas,” tutur dia.

Setelah semua perizinan selesai dan penandatangan kerja sama selesai, pihaknya akan bertemu dengan Badan Pengatur Hilir Minyak dan Gas Bumi (BPH Migas) dalam 1-2 pekan ke depan. Bersama BPH Migas, pihaknya akan menetapkan ongkos angkut gas (toll fee) untuk Pipa Cirebon-Semarang ini. 

Pada saat yang sama, Rekind juga berkoordinasi dengan Project Management Investment Consultan (PMIC) yang ditunjuk BPH Migas untuk membahas toll fee tersebut.

“Setelah Toll Fee-nya ketemu, kami harapkan akhir Desember kami mulai dimulai (ground breaking),” kata Yanuar.

Dia optimis, adanya pipa Cirebon-Semarang bisa menjadi solusi pasokan energi gas berkelanjutan untuk mendukung daya saing industri di Pulau Jawa. Apalagi, potensi konsumen industri di Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah sangat besar. 

“Untuk itu kami berharap semua pihak yang terlibat dapat lebih kooperatif sehingga proyek dapat kami mulai segera pada tahun ini dan dapat diselesaikan sesuai dengan target yang telah ditentukan,” kata Yanuar.

Pipa Cirebon-Semarang ini merupakan bagian dari Pipa Transjawa. Proyek integrasi pipa gas Trans Jawa terdiri dari tiga proyek utama. Pertama, Jawa bagian Barat senilai US$ 300 juta dengan jalur Cirebon-KHT (84 km) dan Tegalgede-Muara Tawar (50 km). 

    Kedua, Jawa bagian Utara senilai US$ 400 juta dengan jalur Cirebon-Semarang (255 kin). Ketiga, Jawa bagian Timur senilai US$ 360 juta dengan jalur Semarang-Gresik (271 km) dan East Java Gas Pipeline (EJGP)-Grati senilai US$ 58 juta (22.1 km)

Seperti diketahui, pada 2006, Rekayasa Industri ditetapkan sebagai pemenang lelang hak khusus ruas transmisi gas bumi Cirebon-Semarang oleh BPH Migas. Saat itu Rekind bertindak sebagai transporter yang merupakan pemilik pipa gas, sedangkan pembeli gas (offtaker) adalah PLTGU Tambaklorok-Semarang. Pembangunan ruas gas transmisi Cirebon-Semarang ini sempat mengalami kendala dikarenakan sumber gas yang tidak tersedia pada saat itu.

Cisem Project As Soon As Groundbreaking

PT Rekayasa Industri (Rekind) targets the Cirebon-Semarang gas pipeline project (Cisem) to start groundbreaking at the end of December 2018. Rekind Managing Director Yanuar Budinorman said the process of discussing the project development plan had entered the final stage, including an agreement with potential gas pipeline users ( shipper), gas allocation, and licensing process.

At present, his party together with the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) is discussing the calculation of rental rates for gas transportation or toll fee.

"So we have finalized everything. Maybe in 1-2 weeks. we consign with BPH Migas to determine toll fees. Toll fee was found, we hope that by the end of December it will begin, "Yanuar said.

Construction of the plan will begin from Semarang (Central Java) and continue to extend to Cirebon (West Java). The construction process of the Rekind's first transmission gas pipeline project is estimated to take around 2.5 years. Thus, the project is expected to be operational by 2021.

Regarding prospective gas pipeline facilities, Rekind cooperates with PT Bayu Buana Gemilang and PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas). Rekind has signed an initial agreement with Bayu Buana Gemilang and in the near future the agreement will be followed up in a gas transport agreement (GTA). HOA with Pertagas will also be signed soon.

If this provision has been agreed upon, Bayu Buana Gemilang and Pertagas will channel gas to the Cirebon-Semarang pipeline facility or as a shipper, then distribute it to gas buyers. The gas distribution in the Cirebon-Semarang pipeline is expected to meet gas demand in West Java and Central Java. One of the areas that is the destination of the gas market, said Yanuar, is Kendal, Central Java.

In the distribution of gas in West Java and Central Java, Rekind also works with West Java regional-owned enterprises, PT Energi Negeri Mandiri and Central Java BUMD, PT Sarana Pembangunan Central Java and also with Pertagas, the auction for the gas pipeline project Cirebon-Semarang was won by Rekind since 2006.

But after 12 years have passed, there has been no development of the 682 kilometer (km) gas pipeline project. The project was abandoned for a long time because of constrained gas supply and buyers. Meanwhile, Rekind is targeting the gas allocation from the Jambaran-Tiung Biru field to be channeled through Cirebon-Semarang gas pipeline project.

Cepu Block by PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) 

Currently there are two gas sources being explored. The two gas sources, namely gas, amounted to 20 MMscfd from Jambaran-Tiung Biru Field in the Cepu Block managed by PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) and gas as much as 20 MMscfd from Madura BD Field on the Madura Strait Block managed by Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML).

"That 20 MMscfd from Jambaran-Tiung Biru is one of them. We're working on it, another 20 MMscfd plus from Husky. So because we have partnered with Pertagas and BBG who are looking for their sources, they already know the source from anywhere, "he said.

Proyek Cisem Seegera Groundbreaking

PT Rekayasa Industri (Rekind) menargetkan proyek pipa gas Cirebon-Semarang (Cisem) mulai groundbreaking pada akhir Desember 2018. Direktur Utama Rekind Yanuar Budinorman mengatakan, proses pembahasan rencana pembangunan proyek tersebut telah memasuki tahap akhir, termasuk mengenai kesepakatan dengan calon pengguna pipa gas (shipper), alokasi gas, dan proses perizinan.

Saat ini, pihaknya bersama Badan Pengatur Hilir Minyak dan Gas (BPH Migas) sedang membahas perhitungan tarif sewa pengangkutan gas atau

toll fee. 

“Jadi kami sudah finalisasi semua. Mungkin dalam 1-2 pekan ini. kami konsinyering dengan BPH Migas untuk tentukan toll fee. Toll fee ketemu, kami harapkan akhir Desember ini mulai dimulai” ujar Yanuar.

Pembangunan rencananya akan dimulai dari Semarang (Jawa Tengah) dan diteruskan memanjang sampai Cirebon (Jawa Barat). Proses kontruksi proyek pipa gas transmisi pertama Rekind tersebut diperkirakan akan membutuhkan waktu sekitar 2,5 tahun.  Dengan demikian diharapkan proyek tersebut sudah dapat beroperasi pada 2021.

Terkait calon pengguna fasilitas pipa gas, Rekind menjalin kerja sama dengan PT Bayu Buana Gemilang dan PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas). Rekind telah menandatangani perjanjian awal dengan Bayu Buana Gemilang dan dalam waktu dekat perjanjian tersebut akan ditindaklanjuti ke dalam kesepakatan pengangkutan gas (Gas Transport Agreement/GTA). HOA dengan Pertagas juga akan segera ditandatangani.

Jika ketentuan ini telah disepakati, Bayu Buana Gemilang dan Pertagas akan mengalirkan gas ke fasilitas pipa Cirebon-Semarang atau sebagai shipper, untuk kemudian didistribusikan kepada para pembeli gas. Distribusi gas pada jalur pipa Cirebon-Semarang ini diharapkan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan gas di Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah. Salah satu daerah yang menjadi tujuan pasar gas tersebut, kata Yanuar, adalah Kendal, Jawa Tengah.

Dalam pendistribusian gas di wilayah Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah, Rekind juga bekerja sama dengan badan usaha milik daerah (BUMD) Jawa Barat, PT Energi Negeri Mandiri dan BUMD Jawa Tengah, PT Sarana Pembangunan Jawa Tengah dan juga dengan Pertagas, Adapun lelang proyek pipa gas Cirebon-Semarang dimenangkan oleh Rekind sejak 2006. 

Namun setelah 12 tahun berlalu, belum ada perkembangan proyek pipa gas sepanjang 682 kilometer (km) itu. Proyek tersebut lama terbengkalai karena terkendala pasokan gas dan pembeli. Sementara itu, Rekind mengincar alokasi gas dari lapangan Jambaran-Tiung Biru untuk dialirkan melalui proyek pipa gas Cirebon-Semarang milik Rekind.

Saat ini sudah ada dua sumber gas yang sedang dijajaki. Dua sumber gas tersebut, yakni gas sebesar 20 MMscfd dari Lapangan Jambaran-Tiung Biru di Blok Cepu yang dikelola PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) dan gas sebanyak 20 MMscfd dari Lapangan Madura BD di Blok Madura Strait yang dikelola oleh Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML).

“Itu 20 MMscfd dari Jambaran-Tiung Biru salah satunya. Kami lagi usahakan, 20 MMscfd lagi plus dari Husky. Jadi karena kami sudah bermitra dengan Pertagas dan BBG yang mencari sumbernya mereka, tapi sudah tahu sumber dari mana saja," katanya.

Government Accelerates Gas Projects

The government will accelerate the construction of gas field projects which are the mainstay of supply in the next 10 years. Based on Indonesia's 2018-2017 Natural Gas Balance, gas lifting is projected at 7,452 million standard cubic feet per day / mmscfd. Furthermore, gas lifting is expected to reach a peak of 8,661 mmsfd in 2022, then again down to 8,048 mmscfd in 2027.

To achieve the gas lifting projection, there is a mainstay gas project that is a source of supply. In particular, two fields are projected operating this year, namely Siwah, Rambong, and Julu Rayeu Fields, which were carried out by Medco E & P Indonesie, and the MDA-MBH and MDK Fields. by Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML).

Furthermore, next year, there is the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Project by PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC), as well as the Badik and West Badik Fields by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Nunukan.

The Train-3 Tangguh Refinery Project by BP Berau Limited is targeted to begin increasing domestic gas supply by 2020.

Next, in 2021, the Merakes Field by ENI East Sepinggan and the Kido Merah Smoke Field by Genting Oil will begin production.

The Indonesia Deepwater Development (IDD) project consisting of Gendalo, Gandang and Gehem Fields by Chevron Indonesia Company began operations in 2022.

Finally, in 2027, the Abadi Field by Inpex Masela and East Natuna by PT Pertamina (Persero) are projected to begin production.

Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar said the development of these projects would be accelerated.

"Want as fast as POD (plan of development / development plans) are forced to enter quickly," he said in Jakarta

the Abadi Field, the Masela Block

This includes the development of the Abadi Field, the Masela Block, which has not been included in the development plan. Inpex as the operator of this block should have completed the concept of pre-front end engineering design (Pre-FEED) in September.

"This is again forced (POD). We will call later, "said Arcandra.

Indonesia's average natural gas production over the past five years was recorded at 7,997 mmscfd. The trend of production over the past five years is lower than the previous period which reached 8,130 mmscfd in 2013 and to 7,620 mmscfd in 2017. From the production of natural gas, there are 8% losses that are implicit, gas flaring, and own use so that the lifting realization in 2017 amounting to 6,607.65 mmscfd. Of the natural gas lifting, 58.59% was used for domestic use and 41.41% was exported.

IDD Project

Regarding the IDD Project, Arcandra said Chevron Indonesia had included a proposal revision.

"A proposal that at that time had additional information already entered and was being reviewed by the Oil and Gas-SKKK," he said in Jakarta.

Chevron must re-submit the proposal due to changes in the IDD Project. From the beginning there were three blocks in this project, it was agreed that only the Ganal and Rapak Blocs would still enter this project. While the Makassar Strait Block was excluded from the project and has been auctioned by the government. 

    With the issuance of the Makassar Strait Block, the Chevron IDD Project will later combine four fields, namely the Bangka, Gehem, Gendalo and Gandang Fields. Bangka Field has been in production since August 2016 and produces eight liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes shipped from the Bontang LNG Terminal.

Pemerintah Percepat Proyek Gas

Pemerintah akan mempercepat pengerjaan proyek lapangan gas yang menjadi andalan pasokan dalam 10 tahun mendatang. Berdasarkan Neraca Gas Bumi Indonesia 2018-2017, lifting gas diproyeksikan sebesar 7.452 million standard cubic feet perday/mmscfd. Selanjutnya, lifting gas diperkirakan akan mencapai puncaknya 8.661 mmsfd pada 2022, kemudian kembali turun menjadi 8.048 mmscfd pada 2027.

Untuk mencapai proyeksi lifting gas tersebut, terdapat proyek gas andalan yang menjadi sumber pasokan. Rincinya, dua lapangan diproyeksikan

beroperasi tahun ini, yakni Lapangan Alur Siwah, Rambong, dan Julu Rayeu yang dikerjakan Medco E&P Indonesie, serta Lapangan MDA-MBH dan MDK

oleh Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML).

Selanjutnya, pada tahun depan, terdapat Proyek Jambaran-Tiung Biru oleh PT Pertamina EP Cepu, serta Lapangan Badik dan West Badik oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Nunukan. 

Proyek Kilang Tangguh Train-3 oleh BP Berau Limited ditargetkan mulai menambah pasokan gas domestik pada 2020. 

Berikutnya, di 2021, Lapangan Merakes oleh ENI East Sepinggan dan Lapangan Asap Kido Merah oleh Genting Oil akan mulai produksi. 

Proyek Indonesia Deepwater Development (IDD) yang terdiri dari Lapangan Gendalo, Gandang, dan Gehem oleh Chevron Indonesia Company mulai beroperasi pada 2022. 

Terakhir, pada 2027, Lapangan Abadi oleh lnpex Masela dan East Natuna oleh PT Pertamina (Persero) diproyeksikan mulai berproduksi.

Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar mengatakan, pengembangan proyek-proyek tersebut akan dipercepat. 

“Mau secepat cepat POD (plan of development/rencana pengembangan) dipaksa cepat masuk,” katanya di Jakarta

Hal ini termasuk untuk pengembangan Lapangan Abadi, Blok Masela yang belum juga dimasukkan rencana pengembangannya. Inpex sebagai operator blok ini seharusnya telah merampungkan konsep kelayakan keteknikan dan desain (pre front end engineering design/ Pre-FEED) pada September lalu.

“Ini lagi dipaksa (POD). Nanti kami panggil,” ujar Arcandra.

Rata-rata produksi gas bumi Indonesia selama lima tahun terakhir tercatat sebesar 7.997 mmscfd. Trend produksi selama lima tahun terakhir ini, lebih rendah dari periode sebelumnya yang mencapai 8.130 mmscfd di 2013 dan menjadi 7.620 mmscfd di 2017. Dari produksi gas bumi tersebut, terdapat 8% losses yang bertipa impuritis, gas suar bakar, dan pengunaan sendiri sehingga realisasi lifting pada 2017 sebesar 6.607,65 mmscfd. Dari lifting gas bumi tersebut, sebanyak 58,59% dimanfaatkan untuk domestik dan 41,41% diekspor.

Proyek IDD 

Terkait Proyek IDD, Arcandra menuturkan Chevron Indonesia telah memasukkan revisi proposalnya. 

“Proposal yang waktu itu ada tambahan informasi sudah masuk dan sedang di review oleh -SKK Migas,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Chevron harus mengajukan kembali proposal karena adanya perubahan dalam Proyek IDD. Dari awalnya terdapat tiga blok dalam proyek ini, telah disepakati bahwa hanya Blok Ganal dan Rapak yang tetap masuk proyek ini. Sementara Blok Makassar Strait dikeluarkan dari proyek dan telah dilelang pemerintah. 

    Dengan dikeluarkannya Blok Makassar Strait, maka Proyek IDD Chevron nantinya menggabungkan empat lapangan, yakni Lapangan Bangka, Gehem, Gendalo, dan Gandang. Lapangan Bangka telah berproduksi sejak Agustus 2016 dan menghasilkan delapan kargo gas alam cair (liquefied natural gas/LNG) yang dikapalkan dari Terminal LNG Bontang.
