Block Termination Performance Decreases

Oil and gas production in the termination block which is now managed by PT Pertamina tends to decrease. This state-owned oil and gas company assesses that oil and gas contractors (KKKS) previously contributed to the decline in oil and gas block production. Pertamina won a mandate from the government to manage 10 termination oil and gas blocks.

Mahakam Block

The 10 oil and gas blocks include ONWJ, Mahakam Block, Central Block, Attaka Block, East Kalimantan, NSO, Sanga-sanga Block, Southeast Sumatra, Tuban Block and Ogan Komering.

PT Pertamina's Senior Vice President of Upstream Strategic Planning and Operation Evaluation. Meidawati, said the decline in oil and gas production in the termination block was because the old contractors did not issue investments in two to three years before termination.

At that time, Pertamina cannot enter the termination block because it is still managed by the old operator. With the exception of the Mahakam Block, Pertamina intends to drill 19 wells, although lately only 13 wells have been drilled due to declining production.

Kinerja Blok Terminasi Menurun

Produksi migas di blok terminasi yang kini dikelola PT Pertamina cenderung menurun. Perusahaan migas milik pemerintah ini menilai kontraktor migas (KKKS) terdahulu ikut berkontribusi atas penurunan produksi blok migas itu. Pertamina meraih mandat dari pemerintah untuk mengelola 10 blok migas terminasi. 

Ke-10 blok migas itu meliputi ONWJ, Blok Mahakam, Blok Tengah, Blok Attaka, East Kalimantan, NSO, Blok Sanga-sanga, Southeast Sumatera, Blok Tuban dan Ogan Komering.

Senior Vice President Upstream Strategic Planning and Operation Evaluation PT Pertamina. Meidawati, mengatakan penurunan produksi migas di blok terminasi karena kontraktor lama tidak mengeluarkan investasi dalam dua hingga tiga tahun sebelum terminasi.

Di jangka waktu itu, Pertamina tidak bisa masuk blok terminasi karena masih dikelola operator lama. Kecuali Blok Mahakam, Pertamina berniat mengebor 19 sumur, meski belakangan hanya 13 sumur yang dibor akrena produksinya sudah menurun.

PHE Oil and Gas Production Exceeds 2018 Target

As of September this year, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) oil and gas production has exceeded its target in 2018. In detail, PHE has produced oil reaching 229,441 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), or 102.06% of the target amounting to 224,818 boepd.

At the same time, this subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) has produced an average of 865 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd). This figure reaches 105% of the target set at 824 mmscfd. 

    Director of Operation and Production of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi, Ekariza said, the factors that boosted PHE's operational performance until September this year include the participation of 100% participating interest (Pl) PHE Offshore Southeast Sumatra (OSES) for oil and gas management in the Southeast Sumatra Block (SES) .

In addition, the trigger for the increase in PHE production is the achievement of oil and gas production targets in a number of PHE subsidiaries including JOB Medco E & P Tomori Sulawesi, PHE NSO & NSB, PHE Ogan Komering, BOB Bumi Siak Pusako Pertamina Hulu, JOB Pertamina Talisman Jambi Merang, and JOB Pertamina Petrochina Salawati.

Produksi Migas PHE Melampaui Target 2018

Hingga September tahun ini, produksi minyak dan gas bumi (migas) PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) sudah melampaui target sepanjang 2018. Perinciannya, PHE telah memproduksi minyak mencapai 229.441 barrel oil equivalent per day (boepd), atau 102,06% dari target sebesar 224.818 boepd.

Di saat yang sama, anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero) ini telah memproduksi rata-rata gas mencapai 865 juta kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd). Angka tersebut mencapai 105% dari target yang ditetapkan mencapai 824 mmscfd. Direktur Operasi dan Produksi PT Pertamina Hulu Energi, Ekariza mengemukakan, faktor yang menclongkrak kinerja operasional PHE hingga September tahun ini antara lain telah masuknya participating interest (Pl) 100% PHE Offshore Southeast Sumatra (OSES) untuk pengelolaan migas di Blok Southeast Sumatra (SES).

Selain itu, pemicu peningkatan produksi PHE adalah tercapainya target kinerja produksi minyak dan gas di sejumlah anak perusahaan PHE antara lain JOB Medco E&P Tomori Sulawesi, PHE NSO&NSB, PHE Ogan Komering, BOB Bumi Siak Pusako Pertamina Hulu, JOB Pertamina Talisman Jambi Merang, dan JOB Pertamina Petrocfhina Salawati.

“Penyumbang terbesar produksi Pertamina Hulu Energi secara konsolidasi tetap berasal dari PHE Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), lalu Blok SES dan ketiga PHE West Madura Offshore (WMO),” ujarnya dalam siaran pers.

30 Oil and Gas Blocks Using Gross Split Contracts

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) claims that the cooperation contract (production sharing contract PSC) for gross split is attractive to investors. This can be seen from 30 oil and gas working areas (WK) using gross split PSC during the 2017-2018 period. 

    Of the 30 oil and gas blocks that use the gross PSC, 11 oil and gas blocks are the results of 2017 and 2018 auctions. The auction results for last year's oil and gas blocks are Block Andaman I, Andaman II, Merak Lampung, Pekawai, and West Yamdena.

While the auction results for 2018 oil and gas blocks are the Citarum Block, East Ganal, East Seram, Southeast Jambi, South Jambi B, and Banyumas. Furthermore, 19 other oil and gas blocks are termination blocks whose contract periods expire from 2017 to 2022. The oil and gas blocks whose contracts expire in 2017 are Offshore North West Java (ONWJ). Next, the oil and gas contracts ending 2018 are North Sumatra Offshore, Ogan Komering, South East Sumatra, Tuban, Sanga-Sanga, and East Kalimantan.

Oil and gas blocks whose contracts expire in 2019 are Jambi Merang, Raja / Non Bula Hall, Ceremonial and Ceremonial Hall. The terminated oil and gas blocks are Malacca Straits, Brantas, Salawati, and Bird Heads. While the WK whose contract expires in 2021 is Rokan (Chevron). Finally, the oil and gas blocks that ended in 2022 were the Tarakan Block, Coastal Plains and Pekanbaru (CPP), and Tungkal.

Deputy Minister of ESDM Arcandra Tahar said, the existence of 30 oil and gas blocks using gross split showed that the profit sharing scheme was attractive to investors.

"Until now there have been 30 contracts using gross split," Arcandra said in Jakarta.

Arcandra expects that the third phase of oil and gas block offering this year can be successful so that the number of oil and gas blocks that use gross split schemes is increasing. This scheme is expected to revive oil and gas investment in Indonesia because it provides many benefits and conveniences for investors.

However, if detailed, at the 2017 and 2018 oil and gas auctions, the number of interested parties is lower than the oil and gas block offered. At the 2017 auction, 15 oil and gas blocks were offered through regular auctions and direct offers.

However, only five oil and gas blocks were finally won by oil and gas companies. Then this year, there have been two stages of the auction being held. Of the 24 oil and gas blocks offered in the first phase of the auction, only 4 blocks were sold. Meanwhile for the second phase of the auction, 6 oil and gas blocks are offered, but only 2 blocks have the winner.

Separately, Energy Observer and Chair I of the Indonesian Petroleum Engineering Association (IATMI) Pri Agung Rakhmanto deemed it inappropriate if the gross split scheme was seen as an answer to the low oil and gas investment. Because, gross split is only one form of oil and gas contract that is not too thought by investors.

"Want to change the form of another contract, I think the results will be the same. The basic problem is not there, but in the overall investment climate. In this case, I think investors also see how the level of government support reaches the highest, concrete or not level of upstream oil and gas, "he said.

Pri Agung said that the increase in world oil prices had not contributed positively to investors who would try in the country. He said that Indonesia is still less competitive than other countries globally. In fact, he referred to the results of the Fraser Institute survey in 2017 which ranked Indonesia as the bottom 10.

"Since 2017 the global upstream oil and gas investment trend has gone up, we are still down," he said.

Based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, investment in the upstream oil and gas sector has indeed not increased. In 2015, the realization of upstream oil and gas investment was recorded at US $ 15.04 billion. Then in the following year, the realization of this investment fell to US $ 12.01 billion. Upstream oil and gas investment is actually decreasing in 2017, which is US $ 9.3 billion. While the realization until September this year only reached US $ 7.9 billion from the target of US $ 14.2 billion.

30 Blok Migas Pakai Kontrak Gross Split

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) mengklaim kontrak kerja sama (production sharing contract PSC) bagi hasil kotor (gross split) diminati investor. Hal ini terlihat dari sebanyak 30 wilayah kerja (WK) minyak dan gas bumi yang menggunakan PSC gross split selama periode 2017-2018. 

     Dari jumlah 30 blok migas yang menggunakan PSC gross split tersebut, sebanyak 11 blok migas merupakan hasil lelang 2017 dan 2018. Hasil lelang blok migas tahun lalu adalah Blok Andaman I, Andaman II, Merak Lampung, Pekawai, dan West Yamdena. 

Sedangkan hasil lelang blok migas 2018 adalah Blok Citarum, East Ganal, East Seram, Southeast Jambi, South Jambi B, dan Banyumas. Selanjutnya, 19 blok migas lainnya merupakan blok terminasi yang masa kontraknya berakhir mulai 2017 hingga 2022. 

    Blok migas yang kontraknya berakhir pada 2017 adalah Offshore North West Java (ONWJ). Berikutnya, kontrak migas yang berakhir 2018 adalah North Sumatera Offshore, Ogan Komering, South East Sumatera, Tuban, Sanga-Sanga, dan East Kalimantan.

Blok migas yang kontraknya berakhir 2019 adalah Jambi Merang, Raja/Pendopo, Bula, dan Seram Non Bula. Blok migas terminasi 2020 adalah Malacca Straits, Brantas, Salawati, dan Kepala Burung. Sementara WK yang kontraknya berakhir pada 2021 adalah Rokan. Terakhir, blok migas yang berakhir pada 2022 adalah Blok Tarakan, Coastal Plains and Pekanbaru (CPP), dan Tungkal.

Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar mengatakan, adanya 30 blok migas yang menggunakan gross split menunjukkan skema bagi hasil itu diminati investor. 

“Sampai sekarang sudah ada 30 kontrak menggunakan gross split,” kata Arcandra di Jakarta.

Arcandra mengharapkan, penawaran blok migas tahap ketiga tahun ini dapat berhasil baik sehingga jumlah blok migas yang menggunakan skema gross split semakin banyak. Skema ini diharapkan menggairahkan kembali investasi migas di Indonesia karena memberikan banyak keuntungan dan kemudahan bagi investor. 

Namun bila dirinci, pada lelang migas 2017 dan 2018, jumlah peminat lebih rendah dari blok migas yang ditawarkan. Pada lelang 2017 lalu, sebanyak 15 blok migas ditawarkan melalui lelang reguler dan penawaran langsung. 

Namun hanya lima blok migas yang akhirnya dimenangkan oleh perusahaan migas. Kemudian di tahun ini, sudah ada dua tahap lelang yang dilaksanakan. Dari 24 blok migas yang ditawarkan pada lelang tahap pertama, hanya 4 blok yang laku. Sementara untuk lelang tahap dua ditawarkan 6 blok migas, tetapi hanya 2 blok saja yang ada pemenangnya.

Secara terpisah, Pengamat Energi sekaligus Ketua I Ikatan Ahli Teknik Perminyakan Indonesia (IATMI) Pri Agung Rakhmanto menilai kurang tepat bila skema gross split dipandang sebagai jawaban dari rendahnya investasi migas. Pasalnya, gross split hanya salah satu bentuk kontrak migas yang tidak terlalu dipikirkan oleh investor.

“Mau diubah bentuk kontrak lain, saya kira juga akan sama saja hasilnya. Persoalan mendasarnya bukan di situ, tapi di iklim investasi secara keseluruhan. Dalam hal ini, investor saya pikir juga melihat bagaimana tingkat dukungan pemerintah hingga ke level tertinggi, konkret atau tidak terhadap hulu migas,” ujarnya.

Pri Agung menuturkan naiknya harga minyak dunia belum berkontribusi positif bagi investor yang akan berusaha di tanah air. Dia menyebut Indonesia masih kalah kompetitif dibandingkan negara lain secara global. Bahkan dia merujuk pada hasil survei Fraser Institute di 2017 yang menempatkan Indonesia pada peringkat 10 besar terbawah.

“Sejak 2017 investasi hulu migas global trennya sudah naik, kita tetap saja turun,” ujarnya. 

Berdasarkan data Kementerian ESDM, investasi di sektor hulu migas memang belum mengalami peningkatan. Di 2015, realisasi investasi hulu migas tercatat mencapai US$ 15,04 miliar. Kemudian pada tahun berikutnya, realisasi investasi ini turun menjadi US$ 12,01 miliar. Investasi hulu migas justru semakin turun di 2017, yakni sebesar US$ 9,3 miliar. Sementara realisasi hingga September tahun ini hanya mencapai US$ 7,9 miliar dari target US$ 14,2 miliar.

Termination Block Increases Pertamina's Production by 5%

The management of two 2018 termination oil and gas blocks to PT Pertamina Hulu Indonesia provides additional oil and gas production of 5% to PT Pertamina (Persero). The two oil and gas blocks are Sanga-Sanga and East Kalimantan-Attaka. 

    Bambang Manumayoso, Managing Director of Pertamina Upstream Indonesia, said that the company manages three termination oil and gas blocks, namely the Mahakam, Sanga-Sanga, and East Kalimantan-Attaka Blocks.

the Mahakam block

The production of the Sanga-Sanga and East Kalimantan-Attaka Blocks is relatively different. Of the two 2018 termination blocks, it is optimistic to obtain an additional 5% production.

Attaka Blocks

"So it is indeed not significant in the context of national oil and gas production. But for Pertamina, there is additional production of 5%, "Bambang said in Balikpapan.

Referring to Pertamina's data, until the end of last July, the Sanga-Sanga Block was recorded as producing 10,753 barrels per day (BPD) of oil and 80.7 million standard cubic feet per day/Mmscfd of gas. Meanwhile, Blok East Kalimantan-Attaka produced 13,220 BPD of oil and 69.44 mmscfd of gas per September.

Bambang continued, his party would continue to boost the termination block production through the discovery of new oil and gas potential. Therefore, It is committed to conducting exploration in this termination block. Bambang is optimistic, with the development of oil and gas technology, reserves will be found new in this area. Moreover, the three Working Areas they manage are in one area.

"This is a very large delta system and we examine the potential around it," he said.

It takes at least 1-2 years to study new exploration potentials. This is reflected in the definite work commitment promised by Pertamina. Referring to the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) No 1793K / 12 / MEM / 2018, in Sanga-Sanga, Pertamina promised to drill 4 exploration wells worth the US $ 20 million and a G & G study of US $ 500 thousand. At East Kalimantan-Attaka, the company is committed to drilling 1 exploration well worth US $ 30 million and an exploration study of US $. 250 thousand.

"It is expected that the study and exploration package will be able to add new potential reserves," Bambang said.

The Sanga Sanga block is estimated to still have a cumulative estimate of production of 258 million barrels of oil equivalent. The Sanga-Sanga work area has seven fields, namely Rhinos, Rice, Lampake, Patchouli, Mutiara, Pamaguan, and Semberah. While the East Kalimantan-Attaka Block is estimated to have a cumulative oil production of 1 billion barrels and gas of 3 trillion cubic feet.

This block has 15 fields, namely Attaka, Melangin, Kerindingan, Serang, Sapi, Santan, Sepinggan, Sedandang, Seguni, Sejadi, Yakin, Mahoni, Bangkirai, Seturian, and Beaches. 

Blogger Agus Purnomo in SKK Migas

    Previously, Amien Sunaryadi, Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas), revealed that with the management of termination blocks, the increase in Pertamina's oil and gas production alone is not enough.

The reason is, if Indonesia wants no longer needs to import crude oil or fuel oil (BBM), domestic oil production must increase by the current import of around 1.3 million barrels per day.

"If you want to go up that much, you need to have at least five Banyu Urip Fields. That is, giant discoveries, not just one, "he asserted.

For this reason, his party hopes that Pertamina will also try to find a large enough oil and gas reserve. Furthermore, Bambang said, the management of the two oil and gas blocks would involve the participation of the regional government. The amount of participation rights (participating interest / PI) of the regional government has been determined by the central government at 10%. At present, the 10% PI is still being discussed together with SKK Migas.

According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), since 2017, Pertamina has been granted 100% management and ownership rights for 13 terminations of oil and gas blocks from 2017-2021. In detail, Blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), Mahakam, Central, Attaka, East Kalimantan, North Sumatra Offshore (NSO), Sanga-Sanga, SES, Tuban, Ogan Komering, and Rokan.

the Rokan Block by Chevron

With the ownership of 12 terminated oil and gas blocks, without Blok Rokan, Pertamina is projected to gradually control 39 percent of national oil and gas production starting next year. At present, the national oil and gas production is recorded at around 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per barrel (boepd). This means that Pertamina's role in maintaining national oil and gas production will be even greater.

Oil and Gas Block Contracts to be More Flexible

The government needs to relax the scheme for profit sharing contracts for oil and gas working areas so that investors are interested in taking oil and gas blocks auctioned and conducting exploration activities.

Lecturer at the Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology, Trisakti University Pri Agung Rakhmanto said that Indonesia would face challenges in the upstream oil and gas sector. The challenge is in the form of lack of exploration activities and there has been no discovery of large-scale oil and gas blocks.

In fact, exploration activities need to be carried out to obtain oil and gas reserves. Meanwhile, the discovery of giant oil and gas blocks will be able to significantly increase oil and gas production.

"The method is not by forcing only to apply gross split [contract scheme, gross profit sharing. However, any business contract scheme that is desired and attractive to investors is needed, ".

So far, the implementation of gross profit sharing schemes has been applied to new block contracts. Until quarter III / 2018, gross profit sharing contracts have been implemented in 25 oil and gas working areas. In addition to the new block, the gross profit sharing system is also applied to one termination block in 2017, namely Blok Offshore North West Java managed by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi ONWJ.

In 2017, there are at least five new blocks resulting from the auction using gross split schemes. The five blocks are Andaman 1, Andaman ll, Merak Lampung, Pekawai, and West Yamdena. Meanwhile, the 4 new blocks in the 2018 auction results, namely the Citarum Block, East Ganal, East Seram, and Southeast Jambi also use gross profit sharing schemes.

A total of six oil and gas blocks are terminated in 2018, namely the North Sumatra Offshore Block, Ogan Komering, South East Sumatra, Tuban, & Attaka have used gross profit sharing schemes. Pri considers that the government can open options not to implement a regime of upstream oil and gas contracts. According to him, the type of contract is adjusted to the needs and suitability of each oil and gas block. 

     Some old contracts still use a cost recovery scheme, namely that all oil and gas production costs incurred by the contractor will be replaced from the state budget. Meanwhile, the profit share received by the contractor is the profit received by the oil and gas company.

For example, in the cost recovery scheme, the contractor gets 15% of the oil production share, while the government receives 85%. In addition to getting a 15% profit share, the contractor will also get a replacement for all oil and gas production costs that have been incurred. Instead, the gross profit sharing scheme with a government base gets 43% and contractors 57% (oil). 

    However, the profit sharing of contractors can increase depending on the condition of the oil and gas field. With the 57% profit share, the contractor has to bear the oil and gas production costs.

"There is no need for gross split or cost recovery fanatics. Don't assume that the form of the contract is everything that will determine the attractiveness or absence of an oil and gas block. "

Previously, ESDM Minister Ignasius Jonan stressed that the gross split revenue sharing system for oil and gas working area contracts would continue to operate.

"This will not return [to the cost recovery scheme], the gross split will continue to operate, because all of the big [oil and gas companies] accept it. During the Chevron in the Rokan Block, I asked whether or not [gross split system]? Want it, "he said.

Pri added, actually there are many factors that influence the attractiveness of oil and gas blocks in Indonesia, including consistency of regulation, licensing, and bureaucracy. According to him, every investor invests in adjusting the priority of his portfolio.

"The level of competitiveness with other countries is also key."

Jonan said, the government's consideration is to replace the cost recovery profit sharing scheme because of the many distortions in this system, especially in terms of processes that require a lot of time.

THE PROJECT IS OPERATING

Meanwhile, SKK Migas ensures that the upstream oil and gas project will operate as targeted, namely in 2019. Based on SKK Migas data, there are at least 13 upstream oil and gas projects targeted to operate in 2019. Wisnu Prabawa, SKK Migas Program and Communication Division Head, said the upstream project oil and gas is still on target.

"For now, all of us still have estimates for 2019. For more details we can deliver it at the end of November 2018. Well, at that time it will be discovered to what extent it will be on time. So far it is still on target, "he said.

The upstream oil and gas project includes SWB / WB / SB by PetroChina Intl. Jabung Ltd., Ario Damar-Sriwijaya Phase 2 by PT Tropik Energi Pandan, Terang Sirasun Batur phase 2 by PT Kangean Energi Indo nesia Ltd.

Kontrak Blok Migas agar Lebih Fleksibel

Pemerintah perlu merelaksasi skema kontrak bagi hasil wilayah kerja minyak dan gas bumi sehingga investor tertarik mengambil blok migas yang dilelang dan melakukan kegiatan eksplorasi.

Dosen Fakultas Teknologi Kebumian dan Energi, Universitas Trisakti Pri Agung Rakhmanto mengatakan bahwa Indonesia akan menghadapi tantangan di sektor hulu migas. Tantangan itu berupa minimnya kegiatan eksplorasi dan belum ada lagi penemuan blok migas skala besar.

Padahal, kegiatan eksplorasi perlu terus dilakukan untuk mendapatkan cadangan migas. Sementara itu, penemuan blok migas raksasa akan mampu meningkatkan produksi minyak dan gas bumi secara signifikan.

“Caranya justru tidak dengan memaksakan untuk hanya menerapkan gross split [skema kontrak, bagi hasil kotor. Namun, perlu skema kontrak bisnis apapun yang memang dikehendaki dan menarik bagi investor,”.

Sejauh ini, penerapan skema bagi hasil kotor diterapkan untuk kontrak blok baru. Hingga kuartal III/2018, kontrak bagi hasil kotor sudah diterapkan di 25 wilayah kerja migas. Selain pada blok baru, sistem bagi hasil kotor juga diaplikasikan untuk satu blok terminasi pada 2017, yaitu Blok Offshore North West Java yang dikelola PT Pertamina Hulu Energi ONWJ.

Pada 2017, setidaknya ada lima blok baru hasil lelang yang menggunakan skema gross split. Kelima blok itu adalah Blok Andaman 1, Andaman ll, Merak Lampung, Pekawai, dan West Yamdena. Sementara itu, 4 blok baru pada hasil lelang 2018, yakni Blok Citarum, East Ganal, East Seram, dan Southeast Jambi juga menggunakan skema bagi hasil kotor.

Sebanyak enam blok migas terminasi 2018, yakni Blok North Sumatera Offshore, Ogan Komering, South East Sumatera, Tuban, & Attaka sudah menggunakan skema bagi hasil kotor. Pri menganggap bahwa pemerintah dapat membuka opsi untuk tidak menerapkan satu rezim kontrak hulu migas. Menurutnya, jenis kontrak disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dan kecocokan setiap blok migas. 

    Beberapa kontrak lama masih menggunakan skema bagi hasil bersih atau cost recovery, yaitu seluruh biaya produksi migas yang dikeluarkan kontraktor akan diganti dari APBN. Sementara itu, bagi hasil yang diterima kontraktor merupakan keuntungan yang diterima perusahaan migas tersebut.

Sebagai contoh, dalam skema cost recovery, kontraktor mendapatkan bagi hasil produksi minyak sebesar 15%, sedangkan pemerintah 85%. Selain mendapatkan bagi hasil 15%, kontraktor juga akan mendapatkan penggantian seluruh biaya produksi migas yang telah dikeluarkan. 

    Sebalinya, skema bagi hasil kotor dengan basis pemerintah mendapatkan 43% dan kontraktor 57% (minyak). Namun, bagi hasil kontraktor bisa bertambah bergantung pada kondisi lapangan migas. Dengan bagi hasil 57% itu, kontraktor sudah, harus menanggung biaya produksi migas.

“Tidak perlu fanatik gross split atau cost recovery. Jangan menganggap bahwa bentuk kontrak itu segalanya yang akan menentukan menarik atau tidaknya sebuah blok migas.”

Sebelumnya, Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan menegaskan bahwa sistem bagi hasil gross split untuk kontrak wilayah kerja migas akan beroperasi terus.

“Ini tidak akan kembali [ke skema cost recovery], gross split akan beroperasi  terus, karena semua [perusahaan migas] yang besar terima. Chevron sewaktu di Blok Rokan, saya tanya mau tidak [sistem gross split]? Mau,” katanya.

Pri menambahkan, sebenarnya banyak faktor yang memengaruhi daya tarik blok migas di Indonesia antara lain konsistensi regulasi, perizinan, dan birokrasi. Menurutnya, setiap investor berinvestasi menyesuaikan prioritas portofolionya. 

“Tingkat daya saing dengan negara lain juga menjadi kunci.”

Jonan menyebutkan, pertimbangan pemerintah mengganti skema bagi hasil cost recovery karena banyaknya distorsi pada sistem ini, terutama dan segi proses yang banyak memerlukan waktu.

PROYEK BEROPERASI

Sementara itu, SKK Migas memastikan bahwa proyek hulu migas akan beroperasi sesuai target, yaitu pada 2019. Berdasarkan data SKK Migas, setidaknya ada 13 proyek hulu migas yang ditargetkan beroperasi pada 2019. Kepala Divisi Program dan Komunikasi SKK Migas Wisnu Prabawa Taher mengatakan, proyek hulu migas masih sesuai target. 

“Kalau untuk saat ini semuanya kami masih punya estimasi untuk 2019. Untuk detailnya lagi kami bisa sampaikan pada akhir November 2018. Nah, saat itu akan ketahuan sejauh mana akan tepat waktu. Sejauh ini masih sesuai target,” katanya.

Proyek hulu migas tersebut antara lain SWB/WB/SB oleh PetroChina Intl. Jabung Ltd., Ario Damar-Sriwijaya Phase 2 oleh PT Tropik Energi Pandan, Terang Sirasun Batur phase 2 oleh PT Kangean Energi Indo nesia Ltd.
