Two Oil and Gas Projects Potentially Backward

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) stated that there are two oil and gas projects whose operational schedule (on stream) will go back to next year 2020, namely the Bukit Tua Phase 3 and Buntal Projects. Both were originally operational at the end of 2019.

SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno said, not all projects planned to operate by the end of this year will be realized. One project, the Buntal-5 Project, is certain to be delayed in operation until 2020. The same thing has the potential to occur for the Bukit Tua Project Phase 3.

"The pufferfish has been delayed because the drilling rig has entered Indonesia from Vietnam. Bukit Tua may be delayed, but we are recovering, "he said.

The Puffer-5 Project is carried out by Medco E&P Natuna Ltd. The project, with an investment value of US $ 33 million, is targeted to produce gas of 45 million cubic feet per day (mmscfd). The project's scope of work includes the installation of a new 8km umbilical subsea, subsea production control system, subsea protection structure, 8 inch flowline of 175 m, modification of existing SCU software, and pigging facilities.

Furthermore, the Bukit Tua Phase 3 Project in the Ketapang Block was worked on by Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd. The project is estimated to produce 3.82 barrels of oil per day (bpd) and 31 mmscfd of gas. 

    The US $ 15 million project includes the construction of a deck extension on the WHP BTJT-A eskisting, installation of four conductors and clamps, modification of the existing IRCD for chemical injection, addition of a new wellhead control panel, and installation of a wet gas flowmeter.

The two projects are planned to start operating the rest of the year along with four other projects. The Buntal-5 project, according to SKK Migas data, was originally operational in November 2019. While the Bukit Tua Project Phase 3 is scheduled to start operating in December 2019. The other four projects will operate on schedule.

"The remaining projects [which will be operational this year] are Kedung Keris, Bison-Iguana-Gajah Putri, Temelat, Harvest, and Big Bamboo," said Julius.

Premiere Oil Natuna Sea BV

The Bison-Iguana-Gajah Putri project with 163 mmscfd gas production was undertaken by Premiere Oil Natuna Sea BV with an investment of US $ 171 million. The project project by PT Medco E&P Indonesia with an estimated production of 10 mmscfd and an investment of US $ 11 million.

the Cepu Block by EMCL

Harvest Project with an estimated production of 2,000 bpd by PetroChina International Jabung Ltd with an investment of US $ 17 million. Finally, the Full Well Stream Kedung Keris Project in the Cepu Block was undertaken by ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) with a production of 3,800 bpd and an investment of US $ 72 million. Regarding the Bamboo Project, Julius said that this was an additional project in 2019.

"We are trying to speed up the Big Bamboo Project to increase oil and gas production in 2019," he said. Although he admitted, the oil and gas production produced by this project was not large to replace the delayed production of Buntal-5 and Bukit Tua Phase 3. "Additional oil from the Great Bamboo Field is approximately 2,700-3,000 bpd," he added.

In addition to two potentially delayed projects, SKK Migas also ensured the cancellation of one project that was originally operational in 2019, namely the YY Project undertaken by PT Pertamina Hulu Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ). Because, there was an incident of gas and oil leakage in the project.

PT Pertamina Hulu Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ)

The project was originally planned to produce 4,605 ​​bpd of oil and 25.5 mmscfd of gas. However, Julius had revealed, it was difficult to reach the target of lifting oil and gas in 2019, namely 775 thousand bpd of oil and 7,000 mmscfd of gas. Until the end of October 2019, the realization of oil lifting was recorded at 742.9 thousand bpd and 5,892 mmscfd of gas. 

    In addition to pursuing on-stream projects, his office is also trying to realize a work program in 2019, such as well drilling and well maintenance. It will also drain stock in several terminals which can add 500-600 barrels.

"The end of 2019 Outlook is lifting 746.2 thousand bpd of oil and 5,896 mmscfd of gas. It is very challenging (reaching the target), but we are still trying, "he said.

Dua Proyek Migas Berpotensi Mundur

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) menyatakan terdapat dua proyek migas yang jadwal operasinya (on stream) mundur ke tahun depan 2020, yakni Proyek Bukit Tua Phase 3 dan Buntal. Keduanya sedianya beroperasi di akhir tahun 2019.

Deputi Operasi SKK Migas Julius Wiratno menuturkan, tidak semua proyek yang direncanakan beroperasi pada akhir tahun ini akan terealisasi. Salah satu proyek, yakni Proyek Buntal-5 dipastikan akan tertunda operasinya hingga tahun 2020. Hal yang sama berpotensi terjadi untuk Proyek Bukit Tua Phase 3.

“Buntal delayed karena drilling rig-nya telah masuk Indonesia dari Vietnam. Bukit Tua mungkin delay, tetapi sedang kami recovery,” kata dia.

Proyek Buntal-5 dikerjakan oleh Medco E&P Natuna Ltd. Proyek dengan nilai investasi US$ 33 juta ini ditargetkan bisa menghasilkan gas sebesar 45 juta kaki kubik per hari (million standard cubic feet per day/ mmscfd). Lingkup kerja proyek ini mencakup pemasangan new subsea umbilical 8 km, subsea production control system, subsea protection structure, flowline 8 inch sepanjang 175 m, modifikasi eksisting SCU software, dan pigging facilities. 

Selanjutnya, Proyek Bukit Tua Phase 3 di Blok Ketapang digarap oleh Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd. Proyek ini diperkirakan menghasilkan minyak 3.82 barel per hari (bph) dan gas 31 mmscfd. Proyek senilai US$ 15 juta ini mencakup pembangunan deck extention pada esksisting WHP BTJT-A, pemasangan empat buah conductor dan clamp, modifikasi eksisting IRCD untuk chemical injection, penambahan wellhead control panel baru, serta pemasangan wet gas flowmeter.

Kedua proyek ini direncanakan mulai beroperasi pada sisa tahun ini bersama empat proyek lainnya. Proyek Buntal-5, sesuai data SKK Migas, sedianya beroperasi pada November 2019. Sementara Proyek Bukit Tua Phase 3 dijadwalkan mulai beroperasi pada Desember 2019. Empat proyek lainnya akan beroperasi sesuai jadwal.

“Sisa proyek [yang akan operasi tahun ini] adalah Kedung Keris, Bison-Iguana-Gajah Putri, Temelat, Panen, dan Bambu Besar,” tutur Julius.

Proyek Bison-Iguana-Gajah Putri dengan produksi gas 163 mmscfd dikerjakan oleh Premiere Oil Natuna Sea BV dengan nilai investasi US$ 171 juta. Proyek Temelat oleh PT Medco E&P Indonesia dengan perkiraan produksi 10 mmscfd dan nilai investasi US$ 11 juta. 

Proyek Panen dengan estimasi produksi 2.000 bph oleh PetroChina International Jabung Ltd dengan investasi US$ 17 juta. Terakhir, Proyek Full Well Stream Kedung Keris di Blok Cepu dikerjakan oleh ExxonMobil Cepu Limited dengan produksi 3.800 bph dan investasi US$ 72 juta. Terkait Proyek Bambu, Julius menyebutkan bahwa ini merupakan proyek tambahan di 2019. 

“ Proyek Bambu Besar kami coba speed up untuk menambah produksi migas di 2019,” ujarnya. Walaupun diakuinya, produksi migas yang dihasilkan proyek ini tidak besar untuk mengganti produksi yang tertunda dari Buntal-5 dan Bukit Tua Phase 3. “Tambahan minyak dari Lapangan Bambu Besar kira-kira 2.700-3.000 bph,” tambahnya.

Selain dua proyek yang berpotensi tertunda, SKK Migas juga memastikan batalnya satu proyek yang sedianya beroperadi pada tahun 2019, yakni Proyek YY yang dikerjakan oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ). Pasalnya, terjadi insiden kebocoran gas dan minyak di proyek tersebut. 

Proyek ini awalnya direncanakan menghasilkan minyak 4.605 bph dan gas 25,5 mmscfd. Meski demikian, Julius sempat mengungkapkan, sulit mencapai target lifting migas tahun 2019, yakni minyak 775 ribu bph dan gas 7.000 mmscfd. Hingga akhir Oktober 2019, realisasi lifting minyak tercatat sebesar 742,9 ribu bph dan gas 5.892 mmscfd. 

     Selain mengupayakan proyek on stream, pihaknya juga berusaha merealisasikan program kerja tahun 2019, seperti pengeboran sumur dan perawatan sumur. Pihaknya juga akan melakukan pengurasan stok di beberapa terminal yang bisa menambah 500-600 barel.

“Outlook akhir tahun 2019 ini lifting minyak 746,2 ribu bph dan gas 5.896 mmscfd. Sangat menantang (mencapai target), tetapi tetap kami usahakan,” kata dia.

These are 10 Oil and Gas Contractors with the Largest Waste

Chevron Pacific Indonesia produces the most B3 waste in the year. Environmental problems have been highlighted in the development of oil and gas working areas in Indonesia. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) recorded 10 major oil and gas cooperation contract contractors (KKKS) that managed large-scale hazardous and toxic (B3) waste last year.

The 10 oil and gas contractors are PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia, Petrochina International Jabung Ltd, Medco E & P Natuna PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, PT Pertamina Hulu Sanga-Sanga, Conoco-Phillips (Grissik) Ltd, Pertamina Hulu Energi Oses Ltd, ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd, PT Pertamina EP, and Pertamina Hulu Energi ONWJ.

Secretary of the Directorate General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Iwan Prasetya Adhi, said that the total tonnage of the 10 oil and gas contractors reached 70,197.35 B3 waste. Meanwhile, the total cost of waste management reached US $ 12.24 million.

Of the 10 contractors, Chevron Pacific Indonesia recorded the largest in the amount of waste and management costs. Chevron's oil and gas region produces 30,791 tons of waste with management costs reaching US $ 4.64 million.

The Director of Oil and Gas Engineering and Environment, Adhi Wibowo assessed the amount of the volume of Chevron B3 waste in line with the wide area of ​​their oil and gas working area. In addition, Chevron has long been producing in Indonesia.

"Yes, because it's vast, it's a percentage of the area. Because the area is vast, especially since the Dutch era they have managed, so they have cumulative tons of waste," Adi said in the House of Representatives Building in Jakarta.

According to him, Chevron has allocated funds to carry out its obligations in managing B3 waste.

"In the rules, they must budget funds. Later the SKK Migas mechanism refers to the rules in the PSC (production sharing contract)," Adi explained

Chevron Pacific Indonesia Senior Vice President of Policy, Government and Public Affrair, Wahyu Budianto said, Chevron always manages waste arising from oil and gas production and operations.

"We are trying to manage waste well. We have domestic waste processing, we divide, there are organic parts, waste used oil operations, we process," he said.

Regarding costs, Wahyu said that every oil and gas waste processing activity is always included in the work program and budget (WP & B), Director General of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (RK), Rasio Ridho Sani. according to permits that have been regulated by the government.

There are several oil and gas companies that have received administrative sanctions for showing non-compliance in waste management. However, all oil and gas contractors only get administrative sanctions.

"Only administrative," he said.

If the administrative sanctions are not heeded, according to Ridho, then it is likely that it can continue until the legal route.

"We also provide sanctions to make repairs. If they are not obedient, the sanctions are quite severe, including those that can be subjected to criminality, it could also be a civil suit, "Ridho explained.

Inilah 10 Kontraktor Migas dengan Limbah Terbesar

Chevron Pacific Indonesia menghasilkan limbah B3 paling banyak pada tahun Ialu. Masalah lingkungan menjadi sorotan dalam pengembangan wilayah kerja minyak dan gas (migas) di Indonesia. Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) mencatatl 10 besar kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) migas yang mengelola limbah Bahan Berbahaya dan Beracun (B3) dalam skala besar pada tahun lalu.

Ke-10 kontraktor migas itu adalah PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia, Petrochina Internasional Jabung Ltd, Medco E&P Natuna PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, PT Pertamina Hulu Sanga-Sanga, Conoco-Phillips (Grissik) Ltd, Pertamina Hulu Energi Oses Ltd, ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd, PT Pertamina EP, serta Pertamina Hulu Energi ONWJ. 

Sekretaris Direktorat Jenderal Migas Kementerian ESDM, Iwan Prasetya Adhi mengatakan, total tonase dari 10 kontraktor migas itu mencapai 70.197,35 tion limbah B3. Sementara itu, total biaya pengelolaan limbah mencapai US$ 12,24 juta.

Dari 10 kontraktor, Chevron Pacific Indonesia tercatat paling besar dalam jumlah limbah dan biaya pengelolaannya. Wilayah migas Chevron menghasilkan limbah mencapai 30.791 ton dengan biaya pengelolaan mencapai US$ 4,64 juta.

Direktur Teknik dan Lingkungan Migas, Adhi Wibowo menilai besarnya volume limbah B3 Chevron sejalan dengan jumlah area wilayah kerja migas mereka yang cukup luas. Selain itu, Chevron telah lama berproduksi di Indonesia. 

"Ya karena luas saja, kan persentase dari luas. Karena wilayahnya luas, apalagi sudah dari zaman belanda mereka mengelola, jadi kumulatif berton-ton limbahnya," ungkap Adi di Gedung Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) di Jakarta.

     Menurut dia, Chevron telah mengalokasikan dana untuk melakukan kewajibannya dalam mengelola limbah B3.

"Dalam aturan, mereka harus menganggarkan dana. Nanti di SKK Migas mekanismenya mengacu aturan dalam PSC (production sharing contract)," jelas Adi

Senior Vice President Policy, Government and Public Affrairs Chevron Pacific Indonesia, Wahyu Budianto mengatakan, Chevron selalu mengelola limbah yang timbul dari hasil produksi dan operasi migas. 

"Kami mengusahakan limbah dikelola dengan baik. Kami punya pengolahan limbah domestik, kami bagi, ada bagian organik, limbah operasi bekas oli, semua kami proses," ungkap dia.

Terkait biaya, Wahyu menyebutkan setiap kegiatan pengolahan limbah migas selalu masuk dalam work program and budget (WP&B) Direktur Jenderal Penegakan Hukum Kementerian Lingkungan dan Kehutanan (BHK), Rasio Ridho Sani mengemukakan Kementerian LHK telah mengeluarkan sanksi administratif kepada kontraktor migas yang tidak mematuhi pengelolaan limbah sesuai izin-izin yang telah diatur oleh pemerintah.

Ada beberapa perusahaan migas yang sudah mendapatkan sanksi administratif karena menunjukkan ketidakpatuhan dalam pengelolaan limbah. Namun seluruh kontraktor migas hanyak mendapatkan sanksi administrasi. 

"Hanya bersifat administrasi," kata dia.

Jika sanksi administrasi tersebut tidak diindahkan, menurut Ridho, maka besar kemungkinan bisa berlanjut hingga jalur hukum. 

“Kami juga memberikan sanksi untuk melakukan perbaikan-perbaikan. Kalau mereka tidak patuh, sanksinya cukup berat, termasuk di dalamnya bisa dikenakan pidana, bisa juga gugatan perdata" jelas Ridho.

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Targets 218,000 BOEPD Oil and Gas Production

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) targets oil and gas production this year to reach 218 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day/BOEPD, up 5.8% from last year's 206 thousand boepd realization. The increase in production comes from Blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) and Offshore South East Sumatra (OSES).

PHE Managing Director Meidawati said, this year, the company's oil production is targeted at 79 thousand barrels per day (bpd) and gas 804 million cubic feet per day (million standard cubic feet per day / MMSCFD). PHE's oil and gas production contributes 19% each there is an oil production target of PT Pertamina (Persero) of 79 thousand bpd and 27% of the gas production target of 2,944 MMSCFD.

"Then for oil and gas, PHE contributed 218 MBOEPD, from the target of 922 thousand BOEPD or 24%," he said in Jakarta.

It prepared a number of strategies to achieve these targets. Some strategies include the effectiveness of work programs, increased oil and gas production and lifting, project supervision, gas commercialization, accelerated exploration status for reserves, preventive action for legal cases, and completion of taxation partnerships and stakeholder relations. This, according to Meidawati, is reflected in the increasing number of work plans that will be executed in 2019.

Some of these activities are drilling for Pertamina Upstream Energy, which targets 13 thousand BOEPD of oil and gas exploration in 13 wells, drilling for 45 wells development, and 47 wells.

"The increase in production comes from ONWJ Block and OSES," said Meidawati.

Comparing data from the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas), the ONWJ Block production target is set at 18 thousand boepd for gas and 33 thousand bpd for oil. The target is up from last year's realization of 15 thousand boepd for gas and 29,439 bpd for oil. While Blok OSES oil production is targeted to increase to 32 thousand bpd from 2018 realization which is 30,657 bpd.

Still based on the same data, in Blok ONWJ, PHE successfully operated the SP project in October last year. This project has an estimated peak production of 30 mmscfd. While in the year PHE targets it can operate the YY Project in ONWJ Block with oil production of 4,605 ​​bpd and 25.5 MMSCFD.

"The PHE target in 2019 is very challenging," said Meidawati.

PHE's oil and gas production target this year is higher than 2018. Last year, PHE posted oil and gas production as of 206 thousand boepd, namely oil 69 thousand bpd and gas 795 mmscfd. This 2018 achievement is very good. The realization of oil production was recorded at 99% of the target 70 thousand and 103% gas from the target of 771 mmscfd. 

    In terms of finance, PHE's net profit last year reached US $ 470 million. Meidawati said, there were many factors supporting the success of the performance achievements, including the existence of the PHE committee.

"All ranks at PHE have a commitment to work effectively and an efficient definition in this case is not just talking about saving, but the work can be completed, with optimal teaching costs efficiently. Also termination blocks managed by PHE also contribute to oil and gas production figures, "he explained.

Block Termination

According to Meidawati, PHE took over management of a number of terminated blocks in 2018. In details, OSES Block, Ogan Komering, and North Sumatera Offshore (NSO) and North Srunatera Block B (NSB). This year, the company also manages two more blocks, namely the Jambi Merang Block and Raja / Pendopo.

"In the future, the blocks will be managed using gross split schemes. This scheme is considered to be quite good because it is more efficient," he said.

He explained, the management of this termination block has its own challenges. First, the reservoir problem, given the rate of decline in the termination of oil and gas blocks is very high. 

     Second, very old production facilities. The third fact is human resources. It will reorganize the pattern of recruitment of human resources that previously managed the block to join Pertamina in accordance with the rules of the collective labor agreement (PKB) stipulated by PT Pertamina (Persero).

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Targetkan Produksi Migas 218 ribu BOEPD

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) menargetkan produksi migas pada tahun ini sebesar 218 ribu barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/BOEPD) , naik 5,8% dari realisasi tahun lalu 206 ribu boepd. Peningkatan produksi berasal dari Blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) dan Offshore South East Sumatera (OSES).

Direktur Utama PHE Meidawati mengatakan, pada tahun ini, produksi minyak perusahaan ditargetkan sebesar 79 ribu barel per hari (bph) dan gas 804 juta kaki kubik per hari (million standard cubic feet per day/MMSCFD). Kontribusi produksi minyak dan gas PHE ini masing-masing sebesar 19% terdapat target produksi minyak PT Pertamina (Persero) 79 ribu bph dan 27% dari target produksi gas 2.944 MMSCFD.

“Kemudian untuk migas, PHE memberikan kontribusi 218 MBOEPD, dari target sebesar 922 ribu BOEPD atau sebesar 24%,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Pihaknya menyiapkan sejumlah strategi untuk mencapai target tersebut. Beberapa strategi diantaranya adalah efektititas program kerja, peningkatan produksi dan lifting migas, pengawasan proyek, komersialisasi gas, percepatan status eksplorasi untuk peningkatan cadangan, preventive action untuk kasus hukum, serta penyelesaian perpajakan partnership dan stakeholder relations. Hal ini, menurut Meidawati, tercermin dengan meningkatnya jumlah rencana kerja yang akan dieksekusi pada 2019. 

Beberapa kegiatan ini adalah pengeboran Pertamina Hulu Energi Targetkan Produksi Migas 218 Ribu BOEPD eksplorasi sebanyak 13 sumur, pengeboran pengembangan 45 sumur, dan kerja ulang 47 sumur. 

“Peningkatan produksi berasal dari Blok ONWJ dan OSES," tutur Meidawati.

Mengadu data Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas), target produksi Blok ONWJ ditetapkan sebesar 18 ribu boepd untuk gas dan 33 ribu bph untuk minyak. Target tersebut naik dari realisasi tahun lalu yang tercatat sebesar 15 ribu boepd untuk gas dan 29.439 bph untuk minyak. Sementara produksi minyak Blok OSES ditargetkan naik menjadi 32 ribu bph dari realisasi 2018 yang sebesar 30.657 bph.

Masih berdasarkan data yang sama, di Blok ONWJ, PHE berhasil mengoperasikan proyek SP pada Oktober tahun lalu. Proyek ini memiliki estimasi puncak produksi sebesar 30 mmscfd. Sementara di tahun PHE menargetkan dapat mengoperasikan Proyek YY di Blok ONWJ dengan produksi minyak 4.605 bph dan 25,5 MMSCFD.

“Target PHE di 2019 ini sangat menantang,” tutur Meidawati.

Target produksi migas PHE tahun ini tercatat lebih tinggi dari realisasi 2018. Pada tahun lalu, PHE membukukan produksi migas sebesae 206 ribu boepd, yakni minyak 69 ribu bph dan gas 795 mmscfd. Capaian 2018 ini terbilang sangat bagus. Realisasi produksi minyak tercatat 99% dari target 70 ribu dan gas 103% dari target 771 mmscfd. Dari sisi keuangan, laba bersih PHE pada tahun lalu mencapai US$ 470 juta. Dikatakan Meidawati, banyak faktor penunjang keberhasilan capaian kinerja tersebut, antara lain adanya komitrnen PHE. 

“Seluruh jajaran di PHE memiliki komitmen untuk bisa bekerja secara efektif dan Definisi efisien dalam hal ini bukan semata berbicara soal penghematan saja, melainkan pekerjaan tersebut bisa selesai, dengan biaya yang optimal ajaran efisien. Juga blok-blok terminasi yang di kelola PHE juga turut menyumbang angka produksi minyak dan gas,” jelas dia.

Blok Terminasi

Menurut Meidawati, PHE mengambil alih pengelolaan sejumlah blok terminasi pada 2018 lalu. Rincinya, Blok OSES, Ogan Komering, serta North Sumatera Offshore (NSO) dan North Srunatera Block B (NSB). Pada tahun ini, pihaknya juga kembali mengelola dua blok lagi, yakni Blok Jambi Merang dan Raja/Pendopo. 

"Ke depannya, blok-blok tersebut akan clikelola dengan menggunakan skema gross split. Skema ini dinilai cukup bagus karena lebih eisien,” tutur dia.

Dia menjelaskan, pengelolaan blok terminasi ini memiliki tantangan tersendiri. Pertama, masalah reservoir, mengingat laju penurunan produksi (decline rate) blok migas terminasi ini sangat tinggi. Kedua, fasilitas produksi yang sangat tua. Fakto ketiga, adalah sumber daya manusia. 

    Pihaknya akan mengatur kembali bagaimana pola rekruitmen sumber daya manusia yang sebelumnya mengelola blok tersebut untuk bergabung dengan Pertamina sesuai dengan aturan perjanjian kerja bersama (PKB) yang ditetapkan oleh PT Pertamina (Persero).

Six Oil and Gas Projects Start Production

Investment Value of Rp. 4.35 Trillion

The supply of oil and gas has the potential to increase. The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) noted that there are six upstream oil and gas projects that will be operational this year. Its total production capacity reaches 15.5 thousand bopd (barrel oil per day) and 105 mmscfd with an investment value of USD 300 million or Rp 4.35 trillion.

Head of SKK Migas Program and Communication Division Whisnu Prabawa Taher said the project was spread. Three projects in Sumatra, 2 projects in Java, and 1 in Kalimantan.

"Based on operate; 4 Pertamina and 2 Medco" he said.

Projects that will be onstream (producing) in Sumatra are gas projects. Namely, optimization of the East Musi SKG Flare LP owned by PT Pertamina EP. The EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) investment value of USD 1 1.3 million with an estimated peak production of 15 mmscfd has been onstream in March 2018.

Project Built by PT Medco

Then, the Block A project built by PT Medco Blok A. The EPC investment value is estimated at USD 253.7 million. Its production facility capacity is 3,100 bopd and 55 mmscfd. The project has been fully operational in November 2018. Medco through PT Medco EP Indonesia is also optimizing the Lica field production facilities. The EPC investment issued reached USD 8.5 million with a production facility capacity of 4,000 bopd. Meanwhile, the estimated peak production of 3,700 bopd,

Enam Proyek Migas Mulai Produksi

Nilai Investasi Rp 4,35 Triliun

Pasokan minyak dan gas bumi berpotensi bertambah. Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mencatat, ada enam proyek hulu migas yang akan beroperasi tahun ini. Total kapasitas produksinya mencapai 15,5 ribu bopd (barrel oil per day) dan 105 mmscfd dengan nilai investasi USD 300 juta atau Rp 4,35 triliun.

Kepala Divisi Program dan Komunikasi SKK Migas Whisnu Prabawa Taher mengatakan, proyek tersebut tersebar. Tiga proyek di Sumatera, 2 proyek di Jawa, dan 1 di Kalimantan. 

"Berdasar operate; 4  Pertamina dan 2 Medco" ujarnya.

Proyek yang akan onstream (berproduksi) di Sumatera adalah proyek gas. Yakni, optimasi LP Flare SKG Musi Timur milik PT Pertamina EP. Nilai investasi EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) sebesar USD 1 1,3 juta dengan estimasi produksi puncak sebesar 15 mmscfd sudah onstream pada Maret 2018.

Lalu, proyek Blok A yang di bangun PT Medco Blok A. Nilai investasi EPC diperkirakan sebesar USD 253,7 juta. Kapasitas fasilitas produksinya sebesar 3.100bopd dan 55 mmscfd. Proyek tersebut telah beropersi penuh pada November 2018. Medco melalui PT Medco EP Indonesia juga melakukan optimasi fasilitas produksi lapangan Lica. Investasi EPC yang dikeluarkan mencapai USD 8,5 juta dengan kapasitas fasilitas produksi sebesar 4.000 bopd.

Adapun, estimasi produksi puncak sebesar 3.700 bopd, 

”Estimasi onstream pada Desember 2018. Saat ini status pekerjaan mencapai 94 persen," kata Wisnu.

Di Jawa, proyek yang akan beroperasi adalah lapangan SP PT PHE ONWJ dengan investasi EPC sebesar USD 50,7 juta. Kapasitas fasilitas produksi proyek tersebut mencapai 30 mmscfd dengan estimasi produksi puncak di angka yang sama. Kemudian, proyek pembangunan subsea pipeline Lapangan Poleng PT Pertamina EP dengan investasi EPC senilai USD 16, 1 juta. 

"Kapasitas fasilitas produksi sebesar 700 bopd dengan estimasi produksi puncak sebesar 700 bopd sudah onstream pada 13 September 2018," katanya.

Per November, New Oil and Gas Lifting is 1.91 Million BOEPD

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) said that oil and gas lifting up to the end of last month was recorded at 1.91 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (barrel Oil Equivalent per day / boepd). This realization is still 95.5% of this year's oil lifting target set in the APBN of 2 million boepd.

According to SKK Migas data, both oil and gas lifting until November were still below the target. Oil lifting is recorded at only 762 thousand barrels per day (bpd) or 95.25% of the national budget target of 800 thousand bpd. Next, the realization of gas lifting of 1.14 million boepd, only reached 95% of the target set at 1.2 million boepd.

"This achievement reaches 95% of the 2018 State Budget, and until the end of the year we continue to strive for more optimal production," said Head of SKK Migas Program and Communication Division Wisnu Prabawa Taher.

He explained, the lifting performance was influenced by the performance of new wells that had not matched expectations. In addition, the rate of decline in production (decline rate) from the existing well is getting bigger. Next, there are several operating and instrument constraints, but they have been overcome.

"Then there are a number of development programs that have retreated to 2019," he said.

Drilling wells development and workover of wells are also still below the target. SKK Migas noted that drilling of 251 wells had been carried out from the target of 289 wells. Furthermore, re-work activities were realized as many as 554 wells from the target of 636 wells.

"We continue to strive for maximum achievement," Wisnu said.

Nevertheless, the realization of state revenues from the oil and gas sector actually exceeds the target. This year, state revenues from the oil and gas sector are targeted at the state budget of US $ 11.9 billion. However, the realization of this state revenue is projected to be higher, reaching US $ 16.1 billion.

"The total state revenue realization reached US $ 15.9 billion, 133% of the state budget target," Wisnu said.

Realization of cost recovery costs also exceeded the target Until last November, realization of cost recovery was recorded at US $ 10.9 billion. While the allocation in the State Budget/APBN is set at US $ 10.2 billion. Previously, Wisnu had revealed, related to the achievement of oil and gas revenues, mainly due to the increase in crude oil prices. However, this is also due to the efficiency and optimization of operating costs carried out by the cooperation contract contractors (KKKS), so that profit margins become better.

Referring to the data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), in the January-April period, the price of Indonesian Crude Price (ICP) was still recorded at around US $ 61-67 per barrel. Furthermore, ICP rose to US $ 72.46 per barrel in May. After that, ICP fell around US $ 70 per barrel, returning to US $ 69.36 per barrel in August, US $ 74.88 per bareL in September, and US $ 77.56 per barrel in October. However, ICP fell again in November to US $ 62.98 per barrel.

Wisnu added, until last November, there were five oil and gas projects operating. Some projects include the development of Block A by PT Medco E & P Malaka with an estimated peak production of 3,100 bph, the SP Project by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), which produces 30 million cubic feet per day / mmscfd of gas, and the construction of a collection station at Bunyu Field in Bunyu Island, North Kalimantan by PT Pertamina EP.

"Throughout 2018, six upstream oil and gas projects will be realized (operating) with a total investment of US $ 346 million and can contribute additional production during the peak period of a total of 34 thousand boepd," Wisnu said.

Rimau Block, South Sumatra

According to him, there is still one more project that will operate at the end of this year, namely the Lica production facility in Rimau Block, South Sumatra. The project undertaken by PT Medco E & P Indonesia has an estimated peak production of 3,700 bpd.

Per November, Lifting Migas Baru 1,91 Juta BOEPD    

Satuan kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu MIinyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) menyatakan lifting minyak dan gas (migas) sampai akhir bulan lalu tercatat sebesar 1,91 juta barel setara minyak per hari (barrel  Oil  Equivalent per day/boepd). Realisasi ini masih 95,5% dari target lifting  minyak tahun ini yang ditetapkan dalam APBN sebesar 2 juta boepd.

Menurut data SKK Migas, baik lifting minyak maupun gas hingga November lalu masih di bawah target. Lifting minyak tercatat hanya sebesar 762 ribu barel per hari (bph) atau 95,25% dari target APBN 800 ribu bph. Berikutnya, realisasi lifting gas sebesar 1,14 juta boepd, hanya mencapai 95% dari target yang ditetapkan 1,2 juta boepd.

“Capaian tersebut mencapai 95% dari APBN 2018, dan hingga akhir tahun kami tetap upayakan produksi bisa lebih maksimal,” kata Kepala Divisi Program dan Komunikasi SKK Migas Wisnu Prabawa Taher.

Dia menjelaskan, performa lifting tersebut dipengaruhi oleh kinerja sumur baru yang belum sesuai ekspektasi. Selain itu, laju penurunan produksi (decline rate) dari sumur eksisting semakin besar. Berikutnya, ada beberapa kendala operasi dan instrumen, namun sudah dapat diatasi. 

“Kemudian ada beberapa program pengembangan yang mundur ke 2019,” ujarnya.

Kegiatan pengeboran sumur pengembangan dan kerja ulang (workover) sumur juga masih di bawah target. SKK Migas mencatat telah dilakukan pengeboran pengembangan 251 sumur dari target 289 sumur. Selanjutnya, kegiatan kerja ulang yang direalisasikan sebanyak 554 sumur dari target 636 sumur. 

“Secara kontinyu kami tetap mengupayakan pencapaian bisa maksimal,” tutur Wisnu.

Meski demikian, realisasi penerimaan negara dari sektor migas justru melebihi target. Pada tahun ini, penerimaan negara dari sektor migas ditargetkan dalam APBN sebesar US$ 11,9 miliar. Namun, realisasi penerimaan negara ini diproyeksikan lebih tinggi, yakni mencapai US$ 16,1 miliar.

“Realisasi penerimaan negara secara total mencapai US$ 15,9 miliar, 133% dari target APBN,” ujar Wisnu.

Realisasi biaya investasi yang dapat dikembalikan (cost recovery) juga melebihi target Sampai November lalu, realisasi cost recovery tercatat sebesar US$ 10,9 miliar. Sementara alokasi dalam APBN ditetapkan sebesar US$ 10,2 miliar. Sebelumnya, Wisnu sempat mengungkapkan, terkait capaian penerimaan migas, utamanya memang disebabkan oleh kenaikan harga minyak mentah. Namun, hal ini juga lantaran adanya efisiensi serta optimalisasi biaya operasi yang dilakukan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS), sehingga marjin labanya menjadi lebih bagus.

Mengacu data Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM), pada periode Januari-April lalu, harga minyak mentah Indonesia (Indonesian Crude Price/ICP) tercatat masih bertahan di kisaran US$ 61-67 per barel. Selanjutnya, ICP meningkat naik menjadi US$ 72,46 per barel pada Mei. Setelah itu, ICP turun di kisaran US$ 70 per barel, kembali menjadi US$ 69,36 per barel di Agustus lalu, US$ 74,88 per bareL di September, dan US$ 77,56 per barel di Oktober. Namun, ICP kembali turun di November lalu menjadi US$ 62,98 per barel.

Proyek Beroperasi

Wisnu menambahkan, hingga November lalu, tercatat terdapat lima proyek migas yang telah beroperasi. Beberapa proyek diantaranya yakni pengembangan Blok A oleh PT Medco E&P Malaka dengan estimasi produksi puncak 3.100 bph, Proyek SP oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) yang menghasilkan gas 30 juta kaki kubik per hari (million standard cubic feet per day/mmscfd), serta pembangunan stasiun pengumpul di Lapangan Bunyu DI Bunyu Island Kalimantan Utara oleh PT Pertamina EP.

“Sepanjang 2018 dapat terealisasi enam proyek hulu migas onstream (beroperasi) dengan total investasi US$ 346 juta serta dapat memberikan kontribusi tambahan produksi pada masa puncak total 34 ribu boepd,” tutur Wisnu.

Menurutnya, masih ada satu proyek lagi yang akan beroperasi di akhir tahun ini, yakni fasilitas produksi Lica di Blok Rimau, Sumatera Selatan. Proyek yang dikerjakan oleh PT Medco E&P Indonesia ini memiliki estimasi produksi puncak sebesar 3.700 bph.

Oil and Gas Lifting Still Below Target

The realization of oil and gas production this year is still below the target. As of November 2018, the realization of oil and gas lifting has only reached 1.91 million barrels of Oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). This figure is equivalent to 95% of the target in the 2018 State Budget (APBN). The oil and gas lifting includes 762,000 BOPD of oil and 1.14 million BOEPD of natural gas.

SKK Migas Head of Program and Communication, Wisnu Prabawa Taher stated that the achievement of oil and gas lifting up to November 2018 was influenced by the performance of new wells which had not matched expectations. There is a decline rate from the older wells that are getting bigger. In fact, according to SKK Migas, there are a number of obstacles operational and instruments that have recently been overcome. There are also a number of oil and gas development programs that have retreated to 2019.

"Until the end of this year, we continue to strive for more optimal oil and gas production," Wisnu said.

To improve the development of upstream oil and gas fields and maintain production optimally, in November SKK Migas has drilled 251 wells from the target of 289 wells; Then the workover program for 554 wells from the target of 636 wells.

"We continue to strive for maximum achievement," Wisnu said.

One way to achieve the lifting target this year is to increase the production of new upstream oil and gas. So far, SKK Migas has noted that there are five upstream oil and gas projects that are already onstream, namely Block A in Aceh, SP in ONWJ, and the most recent is the construction of the Gathering Station at Pertamina EP Bunyu field at Bunyu Island, North Kalimantan.

Towards the end of this year, Wisnu claims there will be an onstream project, namely the Lica production facility in South Sumatra, so that it is estimated that throughout 2018 six on-stream upstream oil and gas projects can be realized with a total estimated investment of US $ 346 million. The project can contribute additional production during its peak period of 34,000 BOEPD.

In addition to oil and gas lifting, SKK Migas noted the realization of cost recovery until November worth US $ 10.9 billion. The realization of state revenues reached US $ 15.9 billion or 133% of the state budget target.

Lifting Migas Masih di Bawah Target

Realisasi produksi minyak dan gas bumi (migas) tahun ini masih di bawah target. Hingga November 2018, realisasi lifting migas baru mencapai 1,91 juta barrel Oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Angka itu setara 95% dari target dalam Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) 2018. Lifting migas itu meliputi minyak bumi 762.000 BOPD dan gas bumi 1,14 juta BOEPD. 

Kepala Program dan Komunikasi SKK Migas, Wisnu Prabawa Taher mengemukakan, pencapaian lifting migas hingga November 2018 dipengaruhi kinerja sumur baru yang belum sesuai ekspektasi. Ada decline rate dari sumur lama yang semakin besar. Bahkan, menurut SKK Migas, ada sejumlah kendala operasional dan instrumen yang belakangan ini sudah dapat diatasi. Ada pula beberapa program pengembangan migas yang mundur menjadi tahun 2019. 

"Hingga akhir tahun ini, kami tetap mengupayakan produksi migas bisa lebih maksimal," kata Wisnu.

Untuk meningkatkan pengembangan lapangan hulu migas dan menjaga produksi secara optimal, pada November lalu SKK Migas telah melakukan pengeboran pengembangan sebanyak 251 sumur dari target 289 sumur; Kemudian program kerja ulang (workover) terhadap 554 sumur dari target 636 sumur.

"Secara continue kami tetap mengupayakan pencapaian bisa maksimal," ujar Wisnu.

Salah satu cara untuk mencapai target lifting pada tahun ini adalah meningkatkan produksi baru hulu migas. Sejauh ini SKK Migas mencatat terdapat lima proyek hulu migas yang sudah onstream, yakni Blok A di Aceh, SP di ONWJ, dan yang paling mutakhir adalah pembangunan Gathering Station di Pertamina EP lapangan Bunyu.

Menjelang akhir tahun ini, Wisnu mengklaim akan ada satu proyek yang onstream yaitu fasilitas produksi Lica di Sumatera Selatan, sehingga diperkirakan sepanjang tahun 2018 dapat terealisasi enam proyek hulu migas yang on-stream dengan total estimasi investasi mencapai US$ 346 juta. Proyek tersebut dapat memberikan kontribusi tambahan produksi pada masa puncaknya sebesar 34.000 BOEPD.

Selain lifting migas, SKK Migas mencatat realisasi cost recovery hingga November senilai US$ 10,9 miliar. Adapun realisasi penerimaan negara mencapai US$ 15,9 miliar atau 133% dari target APBN.

PHE Oil and Gas Production Exceeds Target

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) recorded an average oil and gas production of 229,441 barrels of barrel oil equivalent per day last September. The realization exceeds the target set at 224,818 BOEPD or around 102.1%.

The average oil production from the subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) was recorded at 80,103 barrels per day (BPH) in September. While for PHE gas production in September 2018 reached 865 million cubic feet per day (million standard cubic feet per day / mmscfd) or 5% exceeded the target in the same period of 824 mmscfd.

PHE Operations and Production Director Ekariza said that the driving factor that boosted PHE's operational performance in September 2018 included the shifting of the Southeast Sumatra Block (SES) management to 100% in Pertamina's hands.

In addition, increased production was also lifted by the achievement of oil and gas production targets for PHE subsidiaries, including JOB Medco E & P Tomori Sulawesi, PHE NSO and NSB, PHE Ogan Komering, BOB Bumi Siak Pusako Pertamina Hulu, JOB Pertamina Talisman Jambi Merang, and JOB Pertamina Petrochina Salawati.

"The biggest contributor to PHE production is on a consolidated basis from PHE Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), after that the SES Block and third PHE West Madura Offshore (PHE-WMO), "Ekariza said in a written statement in Jakarta on Wednesday (11/7).

Produksi Migas PHE Melebihi Target

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) mencatat rata-rata produksi minyak dan gas (migas) sebesar 229.441 barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/BOEPD) pada September kemarin. Realisasi itu melebihi dari target yang ditetapkan sebesar 224.818 BOEPD atau sekitar 102,1%. 

Rata-rata produksi minyak dari anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero) itu tercatat sebesar 80.103 barel per hari (BPH) pada September. Sementara untuk produksi gas yang PHE sepanjang September 2018 mencapai 865 juta kaki kubik per hari (million standard cubic feet per day/ mmscfd) atau 5% melebihi target pada periode yang sama sebesar 824 mmscfd. 

Direktur Operasi dan Produksi PHE Ekariza mengatakan, faktor pendorong yang mendongkrak kinerja operasional PHE pada September 2018 antara lain telah beralihnya pengelolaan Blok Southeast Sumatra (SES) menjadi 100% di tangan Pertamina.

Selain itu, peningkatan produksi juga terangkat oleh tercapainya target produksi migas pada anak-anak perusahaan PHE, antara lain JOB Medco E&P Tomori Sulawesi, PHE NSO dan NSB, PHE Ogan Komering, BOB Bumi Siak Pusako Pertamina Hulu, JOB Pertamina Talisman Jambi Merang, dan JOB Pertamina Petrochina Salawati.

“Kontributor terbesar terhadap produksi PHE secara konsolidasi tetap dari PHE Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), setelah itu Blok SES dan ketiga PHE West Madura Offshore (PHE-WMO) ,” kata Ekariza dalam keterangan tertulis di Jakarta, Rabu (7/11).

Ekariza menuturkan, seiring adanya peningkatan produksi minyak pada September 2018, rata-rata produksi siap jual (lifting) minyak PHE juga meningkat. Pada September lalu lifting minyak PHE naik menjadi 81,9 ribu bph, dibandingkan realisasi pada bulan sebelumnya rata-rata sebesar 61 ribu bph.

Secara kumulatif hingga akhir kuartal ketiga 2018, Pertamina Hulu Energi membukukan produksi migas sebesar 198.505 BOEPD atau 1,2% melebihi target yang ditetapkan pada periode yang sama sebesar 196.247 BOEPD.
