Termination Block Decided December

The government will decide the fate of a new contract for the eight oil and gas blocks whose Contract will expire or terminate in December 2017.

The government will evaluate proposals presented by PT Pertamina and its current contractors. The eight-block oil and gas contracts will expire in 2018. In early 2018, the government commissioned eight oil and gas blocks that had expired to Pertamina.

However, the contractors who are currently operators of the blocks are still given the opportunity to re-manage the work area. The eight working areas assigned to Pertamina are Tuban Block, East Java (JOB Pertamina-PetroChina East Java), Ogan Komering Block, South Sumatra (JOB Pertamina-Talisman); Sanga-Sanga Block, East Kalimantan (VICO), Southeast Sumatra Block (SES), Lampung (CNOOC SES Limited).

In addition, Central Block, East Kalimantan (Total E & P Indonesie), Attaka Block, East Kalimantan (Chevron), East Kalimantan Block (Chevron), and North Sumatra Offshore Block, Aceh (Pertamina). Of the eight blocks, Pertamina's commitment must be pitted with existing contractors on the Tuban Block, SES Block, Ogan Komering, and Sanga-Sanga Blocks. Meanwhile, the NSO Block will be managed integrated with the North Sumatra B Block (NSB), while the Central Block will be integrated with the Mahakam Block.

Oil and Gas Block

Director General of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ego Syahrial said that it still opens opportunities for contractors to get involved in managing the work area after the contract expires.

Pertamina's plan and activities to manage the eight blocks of oil and gas will be pitted against the contractors who currently still manage the blocks.

According to him, if the current contractor's offer is more attractive in terms of efforts to maintain production and investment levels, the government can provide contract extension to the operator. However, the government will decide it after evaluation and listen to Pertamina's opinion about the management proposal of the blocks. If Pertamina's offer is more attractive, the government will give the company the right to manage it.

In January 2017, ESDM Minister Ignasius Jonan has assigned Pertamina to manage eight working areas which will expire in contract with the scheme of gross split share contract.

"The deadline in December 2017, can already call Pertamina President Director Elia Massa Manik."

You drilled one, the existing contractor drilled ten wells, if Pertamina President Director Elia Massa Manik said I want ten, its OK, Pertamina [got the right to manage], "he said on Tuesday (21/11).

Based on data from SKK Migas, per quarter lll / 2017, the realization of production of Tuban Block managed by Pertamina with Petro-China amounted to 3,781 barrel oil equivalent per day / boepd with a 0% production decrease rate.

The production of CNOOC operated CNOOC Block is 52,944 boepd with the rate of production decrease 4%. The Sanga-Sanga Block operated by VICO still produces 40,572 boepd of oil and gas with a 25% decline in production.

The Ogan Komering block managed by Pertamina and Talisman still produces 3,212 boepd of oil and natural gas and a production rate of 4%. Meanwhile, the government is still preparing a special auction for East Kalimantan Block and Attaka Block. The government will auction off both blocks by early 2018.

Both blocks will be auctioned as Pertamina has declared no interest to take over the two working areas. Pertamina argued that the two blocks did not meet the economics scale because there is a burden to conduct post-mining activities or abandonment site restoration (ASR). The reason, in the contract valid until 2018 has not set the obligation to set aside funds to conduct ASR.

On the other hand, to date, the government has no regulation governing ASR's obligations on old contracts.

"These two oil and gas blocks will be auctioned openly and in process. We make a document offer and we all will open auction. Beginning in 2018, "said Ego.

Previously, Pertamina Upstream Director of Syamsu Alam said that his party had submitted a proposal for the management plan of six oil and gas blocks that would expire the contract. It also awaits the government's decision whether the company gets a green light to manage the six blocks.

In particular, the Sanga-Sanga Block, President Director of Saka Energi Indonesia Tumbur Parlindungan mentioned, a subsidiary of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. it still wants the rights to manage on a new contract. Therefore, he said, if Pertamina does not want to control 100% participation rights on the block, it wants to continue Sanga-Sanga management.

TAX GROSS SPLIT

In the meantime, the Government Regulation on Taxation in the Gross Split Revenue Scheme has reached the finalization stage. Director General of Budget at the Ministry of Finance Askolani said that the regulation is still being re-evaluated by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (FFA) and the Directorate General of Taxation.

"It is still the final check between ESDM, Directorate General of Taxes, and BKF" he said on Wednesday (22/11).

He said, it still has not calculated how much potential will be included in non tax revenue (PNBP) by using gross split scheme in oil and gas block management.

According to him, although the government will use the gross profit-sharing scheme, the potential for tax revenue and non-tax revenues will be balanced. Head of Fiscal Policy Office Suahasil Nazara said, there are three main principles in the preparation of the gross split tax regulation.

First, taxation is intended to encourage the oil and gas industry.

"I told the tax friends do not raised taxes in front. Later if the industry exists, it will automatically appear taxes, taxes will appear once the contractor has lifting (oil and gas production). So, state revenue spur tax economic growth is there, "he said.

Second, this regulation provides legal certainty. Some of the terms in the production sharing contract with the cost recovery scheme are still in the gray area causing uncertainty.

Third, the regulation is simple so as not to bother oil and gas contractors.

Earlier, Vice Minister of Finance Mardiasmo said, with the scheme for the gross split, tax revenue is potentially declining. However, the decline in oil and gas tax will be offset by PNBP which is believed to be increasing.

He added, with the gross split scheme, the income tax rate decreased from 35% to 25%. In addition, if activities are still in the indirect tax exploration stage will be eliminated as fiscal incentives.

Blok Terminasi Diputuskan Desember

Pemerintah akan memutuskan nasib kontrak baru untuk kedelapan blok  minyak dan gas bumi yang Kontraknya akan berakhir atau terminasi paada Desember 2017.

Pemerintah akan mengevaluasi proposal yang disodorkan PT Pertamina dan kontraktor saat ini. Kontrak delapan blok migas itu akan berakhir pada 2018. Pada awal 2018, pemerintah menugaskan delapan blok migas yang telah berakhir- kontraknya kepada Pertamina.

Namun, kontraktor yang saat ini menjadi operator blok-blok itu masih diberikan kesempatan untuk mengelola kembali wilayah kerja itu.  Delapan wilayah kerja yang ditugaskan kepada Pertamina yakni Blok Tuban, Jawa Timur (JOB Pertamina-PetroChlna East Java), Blok Ogan Komering, Sumatra Selatan (JOB Pertamina-Talisman); Blok Sanga-Sanga, Kalimantan Timur (VICO), Blok Southeast Sumatera (SES), Lampung (CNOOC SES Limited).

Selain itu, Blok Tengah, Kalimantan Timur (Total E&P Indonesie), Blok Attaka, Kalimantan Timur (Chevron), Blok East Kalimantan (Chevron), dan Blok North Sumatera Offshore, Aceh (Pertamina). Dari delapan blok itu, komitmen Pertamina harus diadu dengan kontraktor existing pada pengelolaan Blok Tuban, Blok SES, Ogan Komering, dan Blok Sanga-Sanga. Sementara itu, Blok NSO akan dikelola terintegrasi dengan Blok North Sumatra B (NSB), sedangkan Blok Tengah akan diintegrasikan dengan Blok Mahakam.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Ego Syahrial mengatakan bahwa pihaknya masih membuka kesempatan kepada para kontraktor untuk ikut terlibat dalam pengelolaan wilayah kerja tersebut setelah kontrak berakhir.

Rencana kegiatan dan komitmen Pertamina untuk mengelola delapan blok migas tersebut akan diadu dengan para kontraktor yang saat ini masih mengelola blok-blok tersebut.

Menurutnya, bila tawaran kontraktor saat ini lebih menarik dalam hal upaya menjaga tingkat produksi dan investasi, pemerintah bisa memberikan perpanjangan kontrak kepada operator tersebut. Namun, pemerintah akan memutuskan hal itu setelah evaluasi dan mendengarkan pendapat Pertamina tentang proposal pengelolaan blok-blok tersebut. Jika penawaran Pertamina lebih menarik, pemerintah akan memberikan hak kelola kepada perseroan itu.

Pada Januari 2017, Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan telah menugaskan kepada Pertamina untuk mengelola delapan wilayah kerja yang akan habis masa kontraknya dengan skema kontrak bagi hasil kotor atau gross split.

“Batas waktunya pada Desember 2017, sudah bisa memanggil Direktur Utama Pertamina Elia Massa Manik."

Anda ngebor satu, kontraktor existing mengebor sepuluh sumur, kalau Direktur Utama Pertamina Elia Massa Manik bilang, saya mau sepuluh, its OK, Pertamina [mendapat hak kelola],” ujarnya, selasa (21/11).

Berdasarkan data SKK Migas, per kuartal lll/2017, realisasi produksi Blok Tuban yang dikelola Pertamina bersama Petro-China sebesar 3.781 barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/ boepd) dengan laju penurunan produksi 0%. 

Produksi Blok SES yang dioperasikan CNOOC sebanyak 52.944 boepd dengan laju penurunan produksi 4%. Blok Sanga-Sanga yang dioperatori VICO masih menghasilkan migas sebanyak 40.572 boepd dengan laju penurunan produksi 25%.

Blok Ogan Komering yang dikelola Pertamina dan Talisman masih menghasilkan minyak dan gas bumi sebanyak 3.212 boepd dan laju penunman produksi 4%. Sementara itu, pemerintah masih menyiapkan lelang khusus untuk Blok East Kalimantan dan Blok Attaka. Pemerintah akan melelang kedua blok itu pada awal 2018.

Kedua blok itu akan dilelang karena Pertamina telah menyatakan tidak berminat untuk mengambil alih kedua wilayah kerja itu. Pertamina beralasan kedua blok itu tidak memenuhi skala keekonomian karena terdapat beban untuk melakukan kegiatan pasca tambang atau abandonment site restoration (ASR). Pasalnya, pada kontrak yang berlaku hingga 2018 belum diatur kewajiban untuk menyisihkan dana untuk melakukan ASR. 

Di sisi lain, hingga saat ini, pemerintah tidak memiliki regulasi yang mengatur tentang kewajiban ASR pada kontrak-kontrak lama.

“Dua blok migas ini akan dilelang dengan sustem terbuka dan sedang berproses. Kita buat penawaran dokumen dan semuanya kita akan lelang terbuka. Awal tahun 2018,” kata Ego.

Sebelumnya Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam mengatakan bahwa pihaknya telah menyampaikan proposal untuk rencana pengelolaan enam blok migas yang akan habis kontrak. Pihaknya pun menanti keputusan pemerintah apakah perseroan mendapat lampu hijau untuk mengelola enam blok tersebut.

Sementala itu, khusus Blok Sanga-Sanga, Presiden Direktur Saka Energi Indonesia Tumbur Parlindungan menyebut, anak perusahaan PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. itu masih menginginkan hak kelola pada kontrak baru. Oleh karena itu, dia menuturkan, bila Pertamina tidak ingin menguasai 100% hak partisipasi pada blok itu, pihaknya ingin melanjutkan pengelolaan Sanga-Sanga.

PAJAK GROSS SPLIT

Sememara itu, Peraturan Pemerintah tentang Perpajakan dalam Skema Bagi Hasil Gross Split sudah mencapai tahap finalisasi. Direktur Jenderal Anggaran Kementerian Keuangan Askolani mengatakan bahwa saat ini regulasi itu masih dievaluasi kembali oleh Kementerian ESDM, Badan Kebijakan Fiskal (BKF) dan dan Ditjen Pajak.

“Ini masih dicek final antara ESDM, Ditjen Pajak, dan BKF” katanya, Rabu (22/11).

Dia menuturkan, pihaknya masih belum menghitung berapa potensi yang akan masuk dalam pendapatan negara bukan pajak (PNBP) dengan menggunakan skema bagi hasil kotor (gross split) dalam pengelolaan blok migas.

Menurutnya, meskipun pemerintah akan menggunakan skema bagi hasil kotor, potensi penerimaan yang masuk dalam pajak dan PNBP dipastikan akan seimbang. Kepala Badan Kebijakan Fiskal Suahasil Nazara menuturkan, ada tiga prinsip utama dalam penyusunan peraturan pajak gross split.

Pertama, perpajakan dimaksudkan untuk mendorong industri migas. 

“Saya bilang ke teman-teman pajak jangan dimunculkan pajak di depan. Nanti kalau industri ada, itu akan muncul secara otomatis pajaknya, pajak akan muncul begitu kontraktor ada lifting (produksi migas). Jadi, penerimaan negara memacu pertumbuhan ekonomi pajaknya ada di situ,” ujarnya.

Kedua, regulasi ini memberi kepastian hukum. Beberapa hal dalam kontrak bagi hasil dengan skema pengembalian biaya produksi (cost recovery) masih di wilayah abu-abu sehingga menimbulkan ketidakpastian. 

Ketiga, regulasi itu bersifat sederhana sehingga tidak merepotkan kontraktor migas.

Sebelumnya, Wakil Menteri Keuangan Mardiasmo mengatakan, dengan adanya skema bagi hasil gross split tersebut, penerimaan pajak memang berpotensi menurun. Namun, penurunan pajak migas akan diimbangi dari PNBP yang diyakini bakal bertambah.

Dia menambahkan, dengan skema gross split, tarif PPh turun dari 35% menjadi 25%. Selain itu, jika kegiatan masih dalam tahap eksplorasi pajak tidak langsung akan dihilangkan sebagai insentif fiskal.

For Two Management Areas Working Block Tuban

Defined After JOB PPEJ Contract Ends

The Working Area (WK) of TUBan Block is planned to be divided into two. This is done after the Joint Operating Body Pertamina Petrochina East Java (JOB PPEJ) contract as the operator of the Tuban Block expires in February 2018.

However, the Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Unit (SKK Migas) has not yet determined who will manage the Tuban Block to be determined when the contract expires.

Head of Representative of Migas Migas Jabanusa Ali Masyhar stated that WK will be returned to the government and then managed by a new company.

"It will tend to be divided into two, Sukowati field will be taken over Pertamina EP Asset 4 and Mudi field may be taken Pertamina subsidiary, Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE)," he explained.

However, he asserted that the scheme is still possible, The consideration is the proximity of the region. The decision will be determined after the contract expires.

"More or less like that. But, it can not be sure because it has not been determined "said Ali.

WK Tuban block covers the regencies of Tuban, Bojonegoro, Gresik and Lamongan. The first reserve in the block was discovered in April 1994 and named Mudi field located in Tuban. The next discovery in 2001 known as Sukowati field is located in Bojonegoro.

Ali explained, the highest production JOB PPEJ occurred in 2012. Namely, reaching 48 thousand barrels of oil per day (BOPD). A total of 35 wells are actively managed by JOB PPEJ to date. The details are Sukowati field 26 wells and Mudi 9 wells field.

Currently the field contains more water than oil. At Sumur Mudi, the water is produced 18 thousand- 19 thousand barrel water per day (BWPD). Oil production is only 1,100-1,200 BOPD. As for Sukowati well, its water production is 19 thousand-20 thousand BWPD and oil is 8,700-8,900 BOPD.

"In East Java, the largest contribution is still held by Banyu Urip field with the realization of 200 thousand BOPD-206 thousand BOPD. national production of 800 thousand BOPD-815 thousand BOPD " Ali said.

According to him, the increase in national oil production is in need of innovation. Especially to attract investment of new working areas and new wells.

Bagi Dua Pengeloaan Wilayah Kerja Blok Tuban  

Ditetapkan Setelah Kontrak JOB PPEJ Berakhir

Wilayah Kerja (WK) BlokTuban direncanakan segera dibagi menjadi dua. Hal tersebut dilakukan setelah kontrak Joint Operating Body Pertamina Petrochina East Java (JOB PPEJ) sebagai operator Blok Tuban berakhir pada Februari 2018.

Meski begitu, pihak Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) belum memastikan siapa yang akan mengelola Blok Tuban akan ditetapkan saat kontrak habis.

Kepala Perwakilan SKK Migas Jabanusa Ali Masyhar menyatakan, WK akan dikembalikan ke pemerintah dan selanjutnya dikelola perusahaan baru. 

"Kabarnya akan cenderung dibagi menjadi dua. Lapangan Sukowati akan diambil alih Pertamina EP Asset 4 dan lapangan Mudi mungkin diambil anak perusahaan Pertamina, yaitu Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE)," jelasnya.

Namun, dia menegaskan bahwa skema tersebut masih bersifat kemungkinan, Pertimbangannya adalah kedekatan wilayah. Keputusannya akan ditetapkan setelah masa kontrak berakhir. 

”Kurang lebih akan seperti itu. Tapi, memang belum bisa pasti karena belum ditetapkan" ujar Ali.

WK Blok Tuban meliputi wilayah Kabupaten Tuban, Bojonegoro, Gresik, dan Lamongan. Cadangan pertama di blok tersebut ditemukan pada April 1994 dan diberi nama lapangan Mudi yang terletak di Tuban. Penemuan berikutnya pada 2001 yang dikenal dengan nama lapangan Sukowati yang terletak di Bojonegoro.

Ali memaparkan, produksi tertinggi JOB PPEJ terjadi pada 2012. Yakni, mencapai 48 ribu barrel oil per day (BOPD). Total 35 sumur yang aktif dikelola JOB PPEJ sampai saat ini. Perinciannya, lapangan Sukowati 26 sumur dan lapangan Mudi 9 sumur.

Saat ini lapangan tersebut lebih banyak mengandung air daripada minyak. Di Sumur Mudi, air yang ikut diproduksi 18 ribu- 19 ribu barrel water per day (BWPD ). Produksi minyak hanya 1.100-1.200 BOPD. Adapun di Sumur Sukowati, produksi airnya 19 ribu-20 ribu BWPD dan minyak 8.700- 8.900 BOPD. 

"Di wilayah Jatim, kontribusi terbesar masih dipegang lapangan Banyu Urip dengan realisasi 200 ribu BOPD-206 ribu BOPD. Sedangkan produksi secara nasional 800 ribu BOPD-815 ribu BOPD" kata Ali.

Menurut dia, peningkatan produksi minyak nasional sangat memerlukan inovasi. Terutama untuk menarik investasi wilayah kerja baru dan sumur baru.

Pertamina's portion is reduced

The government will reduce the share of PT Pertamina in managing oil and gas blocks that have been exhausted by 2018.

In January 2017, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR) Ignasius Jonan has assigned PT Pertamina to manage eight working areas of oil and gas which will expire. The new contract of eight blocks of oil and gas will use the gross split.

The eight oil and gas blocks are the Tuban Block (JOB Pertamina-PetroChina East Java), Ogan Komering Block (JOB Pertamina-Talisman), Sanga-Sanga Block (VICO), Southeast Sumatra Block (CNOOC SES Limited), Central Block (Total E & P Indonesie) , Block of Attaka (Chevron), East Kalimantan Block (Chevron), and North Sumatra Offshore Block (Pertamina).

Map of Working Area Oil and Gas

The eight-block oil and gas contract expires in 2018. The government has also assigned Pertamina to take over the entire block.

Director General of Oil and Gas at ESDM Ministry Ego Syahrial said that of the eight working areas, Pertamina has stated that it will not manage East Kalimantan Block and Attaka. The management of the Central Block located in East Kalimantan will be combined with the Mahakam Block. Starting January 1, 2018, PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam becomes operator of the Mahakam Block replacing PT Total E & P Indonesie.

Pertamina has also confirmed it will manage the North Sumatra Offshore Block located in Aceh. Meanwhile, four other blocks, namely the Sanga-Sanga Block, South East Sumatra, JOB Tuban and JOB Ogan Komering need to consider the current contractors who are still interested and committed to managing the block.

"Of the five blocks, one block has been confirmed by Pertamina. NSO [North Sumatra Offshore] is for sure. So there are only four blocks left. Of the four blocks, indeed we will see all kinds, "he said after attending Exposure of Upstream Oil and Gas Performance Quarter III / 2017, Friday (27/10).

BEING OBSTACLES

According to him, the government is worried about the management of eight blocks of contracts using gross split scheme to burden the company's finances. Thus, the possibility of government efforts to maintain production and production costs to be more efficient can not be achieved because of the huge cost of oil blocks that are more than 30 years old.

Moreover, Pertamina will be the operator of the Mahakam Block starting early 2018 which will cost US $ 3 billion to manage the block.

BMI Research noted that Pertamina's investment plan of US $ 54 billion in 2025 in the upstream oil and gas sector will be used for the management of oil and gas assets under contract in the country. The reason, Pertamina need funds in order to keep the production of block-out block of the contract.

For example, for the management of the Mahakam Block, Pertamina which will become the new operator in January 2018 requires an annual cost of US $ 2 billion-US $ 2.5 billion.

Meanwhile, the management of the East Kalimantan Block, Attaka Block, Sanga-Sanga Block, Southeast Sumatra Block, and Rokan Block that will expire in 2021 require a total funding of US $ 2.7 billion only for maintenance.

"No doubt. Pertamina remains, only the government saw from two sides, we government is concerned that the production should not go down, "said Ego.

On the other hand, he mentioned that contractors in other blocks, Sanga-Sanga, Southeast Sumatra, Ogan Komering, and Tuban Blocks expressed an interest in reorganizing the block after the contract expired.

Director of Upstream Oil and Gas Upstream Business Development said that for the Attaka Block, the government has assigned Pertamina. Pertamina is assigned temporarily, ie for 10 months until the East Kalimantan Block ends.

The reason is that the current contractors of the Attaka Block, Chevron Pacific Indonesia and Inpex, which own 50% participation shares, are not willing to accept temporary assignments.

Pada Januari 2017, Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Ignasius Jonan telah menugaskan kepada PT Pertamina untuk mengelola delapan wilayah kerja migas yang akan habis masa kontraknya. Kontrak baru delapan blok migas itu akan menggunakan bagi hasil kotor atau gross split.

Delapan blok migas itu adalah Blok Tuban (JOB Pertamina-PetroChina East Java), Blok Ogan Komering (JOB Pertamina-Talisman), Blok Sanga-Sanga (VICO), Blok Southeast Sumatera (CNOOC SES Limited), Blok Tengah (Total E&P Indonesie), Blok Attaka (Chevron), Blok East Kalimantan (Chevron), dan Blok North Sumatera Offshore (Pertamina).

Kontrak delapan blok migas itu akan berakhir pada 2018. Pemerintah pun telah menugaskan Pertamina untuk mengambil alih seluruh blok tersebut.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Ego Syahrial mengatakan, dari delapan wilayah kerja itu, Pertamina telah menyatakan bahwa tidak akan mengelola Blok East Kalimantan dan Attaka. Pengelolaan Blok Tengah yang berlokasi di Kalimantan Timur akan digabung dengan Blok Mahakam. Mulai 1 Januari 2018, PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam menjadi operator Blok Mahakam menggantikan PT Total E&P Indonesie.

Pertamina juga telah memastikan akan mengelola Blok North Sumatra Offshore yang berlokasi di Aceh. Sementara itu, empat blok lainnya, yakni Blok Sanga-Sanga, South East Sumatra, JOB Tuban dan JOB Ogan Komering perlu mempertimbangkan kontraktor saat ini yang menyatakan masih berminat dan memiliki komitmen mengelola blok tersebut.

“Dari lima blok itu, satu blok memang sudah dipastikan oleh Pertamina. NSO [North Sumatra Offshore] sudah pasti. Jadi hanya tersisa empat blok. Dari empat blok itu, memang kita akan lihat segala macam,” ujarnya usai menghadiri Paparan Pencapaian Kinerja Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kuartal III/2017, Jumat (27/10).

MENJADI HAMBATAN

Menurutnya, pemerintah khawatir pengelolaan delapan blok habis kontrak yang menggunakan skema gross split membebani keuangan perseroan. Dengan demikian, kemungkinan upaya pemerintah untuk menjaga produksi dan biaya produksi agar lebih efisien tidak bisa tercapai karena perlu biaya besar blok migas yang sudah berumur lebih dan 30 tahun itu.

Apalagi, Pertamina akan menjadi operator Blok Mahakam mulai awal 2018 yang akan membutuhkan biaya US$ 3 miliar untuk mengelola blok tersebut.

BMI Research mencatat, rencana investasi Pertamina sebesar US$ 54 miliar pada 2025 di sektor hulu migas akan digunakan untuk pengelolaan aset migas habis kontrak di dalam negeri. Pasalnya, Pertamina membutuhkan dana agar bisa menjaga produksi blok-blok habis kontrak tersebut.

Sebagai contoh, untuk pengelolaan Blok Mahakam, Pertamina yang akan menjadi operator baru pada Januari 2018 membutuhkan biaya tahunan sebesar US$ 2 miliar-US$ 2,5 miliar.

Sementara itu, pengelolaan Blok East Kalimantan, Blok Attaka, Blok Sanga-Sanga, Blok Southeast Sumatera, dan Blok Rokan yang akan habis kontrak pada 2021 membutuhkan total dana sebesar US$ 2,7 miliar hanya untuk perawatan.

“Bukan ragu. Pertamina tetap, hanya pemerintah melihat dari dua sisi, kita pemerintah berkepentingan agar produksi jangan sampai turun,” kata Ego. 

Di sisi lain, dia menyebut bahwa kontraktor di blok lain, yakni Sanga-Sanga, Southeast Sumatera, Ogan Komering, dan Blok Tuban menyatakan minat untuk mengelola kembali blok itu setelah kontrak berakhir.

Direktur Pembinaan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi Tunggal mengatakan bahwa untuk Blok Attaka, pemerintah telah menugaskan kepada Pertamina. Pertamina ditugaskan sementara, yakni selama 10 bulan hingga kontrak Blok East Kalimantan berakhir.

Alasannya, kontraktor Blok Attaka saat ini, yaitu Chevron Pacific Indonesia dan Inpex yang menguasai saham partisipasi masing-masing 50%, tidak bersedia menerima penugasan sementara.

PEP Prepares US $ 700 Million

PT Pertamina Exploration and Production will allocate US $ 700 million of capital expenditure in 2018 to support oil and gas exploration and exploitation activities in a number of areas.

This year, Pertamina EP (PEP), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina, has a capital expenditure prognosis of approximately US $ 636 million. Actual absorption of capital expenditures up to September 2017 reached 68%.

CEO of PT Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf said that in 2018 the company will be more aggressive to conduct various exploration activities and oil and gas exploitation. This is in line with the number of approved wells, which are 70 development wells, about 14 exploration wells and some seismic activities such as Klamono Field, Tanjung, Pendopo and Jirak (Musi Banyu Asin, South Sumatra).

"For 2015 [capital expenditure] capex, we have not changed about US $ 700 million. This year from a prognosis of US $ 636 million, up to September accounted for 68%, as we are aggressive in the months leading up to the end of the year such as adding rigs and increased activity. We are optimistic for next year, "said Nanang, on the inauguration of Rumah Tuntong Information House, in Kuala Simpang, Aceh Tamiang District, Wednesday (25/10).

He expects that the world oil price can rise above US $ 50 per barrel so that it supports the company to develop various activities to increase oil and gas production, one of Pertamina EP's enhanced oil refovery (EOR) method, said Nanang, currently faced with challenges to increase production more efficiently, the age of the oil and gas field is relatively mature enough. Rantau Field, for example, was discovered in 1940 and is still production. Similarly, Tanjung Field, Teak Goods and others.

"Our production costs that if direct US $ 16 per barrel. However, if the operation cost of US $ 22-US $ 23 per barrel. We want to be more efficient so that we are currently working with universities such as ITB, IPB, and UGM to make production more efficient, "said Nanang.

Until the end of the year, according to Nanang, the company's oil production is estimated at 78,000 barrels per day (bpd) and 778 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd). Nanang targets PEP oil production next year to increase, at 83,000 bpd of oil in accordance with the company's budget work plan (RKAP) 2018 and about 790 MMscfd for gas.

RANTAU FIELD

Separately, Field Manager of Pertamina EP Asset I Richard Muthalib said that oil and gas production from Rantau Field as of October 18, 2017 has exceeded the target in the 2017 RKAP.

"The oil production of Penamina Field Rantau reaches 2,495 barrels per day, or 107.6% of the target of 2,319 barrels per day. Actual gas production reached 3.91 MMscfd or 142.7% of the target in RKAP of 2.74 MMscfd, "said Richard.

Furthermore, Nanang explained that the overall oil production of the company is currently relatively down slightly ranging from 69,000-70,000 bpd. However, the decline is more influenced by the production of partnerships (Pertamina EP partners) that face a number of factors.

"For example Sukowati field, it's 80% Pertamina EP and 20% by JOB-PPEJ. Last January, our 80% share was still 11,000 barrels, now living 6,500 barrels. "

Associated with gas production, since June 2017 Pertamina EP production, has reached above 1 billion cubic feet. this is underpinned by production from Matindok which is steady at 45 MMscfd, plus production from Musi up around 15-20 MMscfd with the installation of a new compressor.

"So we are arguably a gas player because gas production is more dominant than oil. Now Pertamina EP 2/3 production or income is already from gas. Sales are now around 780s MMscfd sold to a number of industries such as fertilizer, steel, petrochemicals and electricity to PLN. "

Pertamina EP hopes that in the future oil and gas production will increase significantly due to new fields. In relation to the environmental conservation program, Pertamina EP again realize its commitment by inaugurating Tuntong Information House (RI) in Pusung Kapal Village, Seruway Sub-district, Aceh Tamiang District.

The Tuntong Laut conservation program (Batagur Borneoensis) is a test of the success of cross-agency and community, between Pertamina EP, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, represented by the Natural Resources Coordinating Board (BKSDA), Aceh Tamiang Regency, Yayasan Satucita Lestari Indonesia (YSLI) and the community.

"" Tuntonglaut [a kind of turtle] which is one of the native species of Indonesia that is under threat of its sustainability. The inauguration of this Tuntong Laut Information House is a commitment in the protection of marine tuntong species that are now experiencing a population decline and are almost extinct. "

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent, overcome, and destroy the destruction caused by human, natural, invasive species, pests and diseases.

PEP Siapkan US$ 700 Juta

PT Pertamina Eksplorasi dan Produksi akan mengalokasikan belanja modal sekitar US$ 700  juta pada 2018 untuk mendukung kegiatan eksplorasi dan eksploitasi minyak dan gas bumi di sejumlah wilayah kerjanya. 

Pada tahun ini, Pertamina EP (PEP), anak usaha PT Pertamina, memiliki prognosa belanja modal sekitar US$ 636 juta. Realisasi penyerapan belanja modal hingga September 2017 mencapai 68%.

CEO PT Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf mengatakan bahwa pada 2018 perusahaan akan lebih agresif melakukan berbagai kegiatan eksplorasi dan eksploitasi migas. Hal ini seiring dengan jumlah sumur yang sudah disetujui, yaitu 70 sumur pengembangan, sekitar 14 sumur eksplorasi dan melanjutkan beberapa kegiatan seismik seperti di Lapangan Klamono, Tanjung, Pendopo dan Jirak (Musi Banyu Asin, Sumatra Selatan).

“Untuk capex [belanja modal] 2018, kami tidak berubah sekitar US$ 700-an juta. Tahun ini dari prognosa US$ 636 juta, hingga September terserap 68%, karena kami agresif pada beberapa bulan menjelang akhir tahun seperti menambah rig dan aktivitas meningkat. Kami optimistis untuk tahun depan,” kata Nanang, pada rangkaian kegiatan Peresmian Rumah Informasi Tuntong, di Kuala Simpang, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, Rabu (25/10).

Dia mengharapkan bahwa harga minyak dunia dapat menguat di atas US$ 50 per barel sehingga mendukung perusahaan untuk mengembangkan berbagai kegiatan guna meningkatkan produksi migas, salah satunya metode enhanced oil refovery (EOR) Pertamina EP, ujar Nanang, saat ini dihadapkan pada tantangan untuk meningkatkan produksi dengan lebih efisien, mengingai usia lapangan migas yang relatif cukup matang. 

    Lapangan Rantau misalnya, ditemukan pada 1940 dan sampai sekarang masih produksi. Demikian pula dengan Lapangan Tanjung, Jati Barang dan lainnya.

“Biaya produksi kami itu kalau direct US$ 16 per barel. Namun, kalau operation cost sebesar US$ 22-US$ 23 per barel. Kami ingin lebih efisien lagi sehingga saat ini bekerja sama dengan perguruan tinggi seperti ITB, IPB, dan UGM agar produksi menjadi lebih efisien," jelas Nanang.

Hingga akhir tahun menurut Nanang, produksi minyak perseroan diperkirakan di kisaran 78.000 barel per hari (bph) dan gas 778 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd). Nanang menargetkan produksi migas PEP pada tahun depan dapat meningkat, yakni 83.000 bph minyak sesuai dengan rencana kerja anggaran perusahaan (RKAP) 2018 dan sekitar 790 MMscfd untuk gas.

LAPANGAN RANTAU

Dalam kesempatan terpisah, Field Manager Rantau Pertamina EP Asset I Richard Muthalib mengatakan bahwa produksi migas dari Lapangan Rantau per 18 Oktober 2017 telah melampaui target dalam RKAP 2017.

“Produksi minyak Penamina Field Rantau mencapai 2.495 barel per hari, atau 107,6% dari sasaran sebesar 2.319 barel per hari. Realisasi produksi gas mencapai 3,91 MMscfd atau 142,7% dari target dalam RKAP sebesar 2,74 MMscfd,” kata Richard.

Lebih lanjut, Nanang menjelaskan bahwa secara keseluruhan produksi minyak perusahaan saat ini relatif turun sedikit berkisar 69.000-70.000 bph. Namun, penurunan tersebut lebih dipengaruhi produksi dari kemitraan (mitra Pertamina EP) yang menghadapi sejumlah faktor.

“Misalnya lapangan Sukowati, itu 80% Pertamina EP dan 20% oleh JOB-PPEJ. Januari lalu, bagian kami 80% itu masih 11.000 barel, sekarang tinggal 6.500 barel."

Terkait dengan produksi gas, sejak Juni 2017 produksi Pertamina EP, sudah mencapai di atas 1 miliar kaki kubik. ini ditopang oleh produksi dari Matindok yang stabil di angka 45 MMscfd, ditambah produksi dari Musi naik sekitar 15-20 MMscfd dengan dipasangnya kompresor baru.

“Jadi kami boleh dibilang gas player karena produksi gas lebih dominan daripada minyak. Sekarang produksi atau pendapatan Pertamina EP 2/3 sudah dari gas. Penjualannya sekarang sekitar 780an MMscfd yang dijual ke sejumlah industri seperti pupuk, baja, petrokimia dan listrik ke PLN.”

Pertamina EP berharap agar ke depannya produksi migas akan meningkat lebih signifikan karena adanya lapangan-lapangan baru. Terkait dengan program konservasi lingkungan, Pertamina EP kembali mewujudkan komitmennya dengan meresmikan Rumah Informasi Tuntong (RI) di Desa Pusung Kapal, Kecamatan Seruway, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang.

Program pelestarian Tuntong Laut (Batagur Borneoensis) ini merupakan bukti keberhasilan lintas instansi dan masyarakat, yaitu antara Pertamina EP, Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan yang dalam hal ini diwakili Badan Koordinator Sumber Daya Alam (BKSDA), Pemerintah Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, Yayasan Satucita Lestari Indonesia (YSLI) dan masyarakat.

“”Tuntonglaut [sejenis kura-kura] yang merupakan salah spesies asli Indonesia yang sedang terancam kelestariannya. Peresmian Rumah Informasi Tuntong laut ini merupakan suatu komitmen dalam upaya perlindungan spesies tuntong laut yang saat ini sudah mengalami penurunan populasi dan hampir punah.”

Untuk itu, perlu upaya pencegahan, penanggulangan, dan pembatasana kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh manusia, alam, spesies invasif, hama dan penyakit.
