Allotment of 10% BUMD shares in 26 Oil and Gas Blocks Processed

    The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) noted that as of April 2021, 26 oil and gas blocks were still in the process of transferring 10% participating rights to Regional Owned Enterprises (BUMD).

Blogger Agus Purnomo in SKK Migas

    Head of the Program and Communication Division of SKK Migas Susana Kurniasih revealed, in general, the process of transferring 10% participating shares to BUMDs does take time.

"Usually the governor has not determined which BUMD will represent or the Contractor of the Same Affected Contract (KKKS) has not offered PI to the regional government," he explained.

    In addition, the other process, namely BUMDs still has to complete data according to the provisions in the applicable regulations, namely the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 37 of 2016. The Indonesian Petroleum Engineering Expert Association (IATMI) considers that there needs to be a change in the 10% Participating Interest share allocation scheme for BUMDs.

    Hadi Ismoyo, Secretary-General of IATMI who is also the President Director of PT Petrogas Jatim Utama Cendana, said that the 10% PI governance for BUMDs contained in Government Regulation Number 37 of 2016 still faces many challenges, one of which is the reduced internal rate of return (IRR) of contractors oil and gas.

    Hadi said that previously BUMDs were allowed to cooperate with partners, but this time it is not allowed. He hopes that there is a middle ground that can be taken.

"It is a legal construction as it is now, but the articles that might become a negative list for investors are corrected," he said.

    In addition, under the current regulations, the contractor must first pay for the financing.

"From the perspective of BUMD, of course, it is very profitable, but in my opinion, it is not fair. Second, sometimes because everything is borne by the contractor first, it seems that our voice is lost," said Hadi.

    From an economic point of view, this has an impact on the reduction of the contractor's IRR, especially when the bailout funds are charged without interest. Referring to the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 37 of 2016 concerning Provisions for Offering 10% PI in Oil and Gas Working Areas Article 12 Paragraph 5 it is stated that the return on financing as referred to in paragraph (3) is taken from the share of BUMD or regional companies from oil production and or natural gas according to the cooperation contract without interest.

    Hadi also considered that a number of payment obligations should still be carried out by BUMD as part of investment and train BUMD to be professional in running a business. Hadi also confirmed that there needs to be a re-discussion regarding the current provisions.

“It takes professionals in the oil and gas sector to implement 10% PI governance. BUMD managers must be slim and agile and fast in making and processing strategic decisions," added Hadi.

    For the East Java Region, there are still five oil and gas blocks that are currently in the process of transferring the 10% PI to BUMD. The five oil and gas blocks are the Kangean Block, the Ketapang Block, the West Madura Offshore (WMO) Block, the Tuban Block, and the Brantas Block.

PHE-WMO

    There are a number of oil and gas blocks whose contracts have expired in 2020 and have officially changed their management. Thus, the transfer of 10% participation rights to BUMD will also be carried out in the oil and gas block.

    The blocks include Block B South Jambi. Then the Salawati Block where Petrogas Ltd through its subsidiary Petrogas (Island) Ltd officially manages the Bird's Head Salawati Block in Sorong Regency, West Papua as of April 23, 2020. On the other hand, there are three oil and gas blocks whose contracts expire this year, namely the Bentu Segat Block, Rokan Block, and Long Strait Block.

Heavy Duty Runway Lifting

 

Improving the performance of upstream oil and gas is still homework that needs to be completed by industry players in the country, in line with the low lifting achievement by some contractors.

Blogger Agus Purnomo in SKK Migas

Based on data from the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas), out of 15 large cooperation contract (KKKS) contractors that produce oil and condensate, eight companies are unable to meet the production targets ready for a sale (lifting) in the work program and budget (work program and budget / WP & B) 2020.

PT Pertamina EP

PT Pertamina EP, for example, realized lifting reached 93.5% of the WP&B. A similar condition occurred in Conocophillips (Grissik) Ltd with a lifting achievement of 92.2% from WP&B.

    Meanwhile, Petronas Carigali (Ketapang) Ltd was only able to record a lifting of 76.8% of the target. On the other hand, the KKKS with the largest oil production and lifting, ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL), is still able to meet the target in 2020 with the realization of lifting reaching 217,637 barrels per day (bpd) from the Cepu Block.

the Cepu Block and Banyu urip Field

This achievement came from the Banyu Urip field production which had reached a peak production of 230,000 bpd. In gas lifting, out of 15 large KKKS, there are also eight companies that are unable to meet the target according to WP&B, namely Conocophillips (Grissik) Ltd, Pertamina EP, Eni Muara Bakau B.V, and Medco E&P Natuna. 

Blogger Agus Purnomo In PHE-WMO

    Then, other contractors who failed to reach the target were Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore (PHE-WMO), PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Jambi Merang, Husky-CNOOC Madura Ltd (HCML), and Pearl Oil (Sebuku) Ltd.

Deputy for Operations of SKK Migas, Julius Wiratno explained that his party was preparing a warning or warning for KKKS that did not reach the target in accordance with the deal.

"For the 2020 performance, a 'love letter' is currently being drafted, this week it is [sent]," he said.

He emphasized that the KKKS could get sanctions for not being able to achieve the target. Sanctions can be in the form of tightening KKKS spending until the KKKS work plans and budgets are not approved.

"There are also those whose cost recovery is not approved if it is not in accordance with the initial agreement," he said.

He also highlighted a number of subsidiaries of PT Pertamina (Persero) that have not been able to meet the lifting target last year. Julius assessed that this was due to economic problems in the field. However, SKK Migas and Pertamina have made an agreement to improve performance this year. 

    Previously, the President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi, Budiman Parhusip, said that Pertamina has challenges with a high decline rate due to managing old fields. However, his party has prepared a number of contracts related to the drilling program to optimize lifting.

"We hope that the full cooperation will run smoothly," he said.

Meanwhile, Pertamina is planned to manage around 60% of the oil and gas fields in Indonesia. Currently, about 40% are still managed by this state-owned company. With this projection, the government also has high hopes for Pertamina in achieving the oil lifting target of 1 million BPD. Meanwhile, the government is deemed necessary to intervene in the decline in Pertamina's performance in the national upstream oil and gas sector.

Trisakti University lecturer Pri Agung Rakhmanto explained that the main factor for Pertamina's decline in production last year was due to the economy in the field plus the pressure of the Covid-19 pandemic. According to him, old fields have an effect on the decline in investment and Pertamina's business activities. Meanwhile, the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in limited operational activities.

"Pertamina is now the backbone of national production with more and more blocks being transferred to it by mistake. The government should be able to provide more support, "he said.

He suggested that the cooperation contract should include fiscal aspects affected by the latest economic conditions. Meanwhile, Executive Director of the National Oil and Gas Companies Association (Aspermigas) Moshe Rizal said that the fall in oil prices coupled with a decrease in demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic has indeed put heavy pressure on KKKS financially. 

    In addition, operational activities are hampered by large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) even though the budget is available. As a result, project execution is hampered, including maintenance operations, workovers, and other activities that can help maintain production levels.

"For this year, everything depends on how fast we recover economically and how fast the distribution of vaccines is so that it can reduce the infection rate," he said.

The President Joko Widodo

PRICE OF POWER PLANT GAS

President Joko Widodo has set the price of natural gas for power plants at a maximum of US $ 6 per MMBtu. The regulation is in Presidential Regulation Number 121 of 2020 concerning Amendments to Presidential Regulation Number 40 of 2016 concerning Natural Gas Pricing which was promulgated on December 29, 2020. In Article 4 Paragraph 3 it is stated that the determination of certain natural gas prices can be given to natural gas users. engaged in the supply of electricity for the public interest. 

This Presidential Regulation is in line with the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation Number 10 of 2020 concerning Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 45 of 2017 concerning Utilization of Natural Gas for Power Plants. This regulation confirms the adjustment of the gas price for PT PLN (Persero) 's needs to be the US $ 6 per MMBtu.

11 Agreement on Changes in Gas Prices Signed

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) stated 11 letters of agreement (LoA) to adjust industrial gas prices and electricity to the US $ 6 per million British thermal units / MMBTU re-signed.

SKK Migas recorded total gas volume according to the LoA of 231.18 billion British thermal units per day / BBTUD. Thus, the total volume of gas sold at US $ 6 per MMBTU according to government policy has now reached 564.63 BBTUD or 47.53% of the total volume of 1,188 BBTUD in the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 89K / 2020 concerning Procedures for User Determination and Natural Gas Prices Certain in the Field of Industry.

The LoA was signed by six national gas producers, namely PT Pertamina EP, Kangean Energy Indonesia Ltd., PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Jambi Merang, PT PHE Ogan Komering, PT PHE North Sumatra Offshore (NSO), and PT PHE West Madura Offshore (WMO) and partners.

While buyers who signed this agreement were PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas), PT Sumber Petrindo Perksana, PT Petrokimia Gresik, PT Bayu Buana Gemilang, PT Inti Alasindo Dwiguna, and PT PGN Tbk, PT Pertagas Niaga. Not only LoA, nine oil and gas producers have also signed a Side Letter of Production Sharing Contract (PSC). 

   These nine companies are PT Pertamina EP, PT PHE NSO, PT PHE Ogan Komering, PT PHE Jambi Merang, PT PHE Offshore South East Sumatra (OSES), EMP Bentu Limited, Kangean Energy Indonesia Ltd., PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, and Minarak Brantas Gas Inc.

"This signing was carried out in order to provide legal certainty and investment related to the adjustment of gas prices after the issuance of a number of regulations from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources," Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto.

The Side Letter of PSC explains the profit-sharing adjustment between SKK Migas and oil and gas producers by using a provisional entitlement to the application of natural gas prices determined by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. This calculation is carried out through a mechanism to reduce the share of the country on a monthly basis to maintain the revenue share of oil and gas companies.

Whereas the LoA is a continuation of a previously signed agreement between the seller and buyer of natural gas. The essence of the agreement stipulated in the LoA includes volume, initial gas price, gas price adjustment, and implementation period.

"By signing this side letter of PSC and LoA, we hope that oil and gas producers can continue to increase their investment in Indonesia and maintain the national gas production target," Dwi said.

Chalid Said Salim

PT Pertamina EP President Director Chalid Said Salim appreciated SKK Migas for providing investment certainty in the upstream oil and gas sector through the signing of the Side Letter of PSC and LoA.

"We certainly appreciate this step because it will encourage increased investment in upstream oil and gas in the future. In the short term, Pertamina EP and SKK Migas will optimize the program this year so that it is efficient as the capital stepped up in the following year, "Chalid said.

The implementation of these projects was originally targeted to be completed in 2021, but this project is claimed to be able to be completed this year. The Bambu Besar project will produce 3 mmscfd of gas (non-asso) now in the EPC process and will be streamed in the third quarter of 2020.

While Reactivation Platform-12 is an activity to improve the platform which had tilted in 2017, to produce oil production of 3,000 barrels per day (BOPD). It is expected that the project can be realized by the end of 2020. Likewise, the Sembakung compressor project will be completed by the end of 2020, and produce 2 mmscfd of gas.

SKK Migas and KKIG continue to conduct intensive coordination to ensure that the upstream oil and gas project can run well according to the schedule, said the Head of SKK Migas, Dwi Soetjipto.

According to him, the acceleration of a number of projects is a form of SKK Migas 'commitment to upstream activities and the success of SKK Migas' transformation. But certainly, the completion of a number of oil and gas projects will have an impact on increasing national oil and gas production and lifting.

SKK Migas Accelerates Three Oil and Gas Projects

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) accelerated the operational schedule of the three national upstream oil and gas projects to this year at the time of mobility restrictions due to Covid-19. The three projects will increase oil production by 3,000 barrels per day and gas by 5 million cubic feet per day / MMSCFD.

SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno said the three oil and gas projects were the development of the Big Bamboo Project and the construction of the Sembakung gas compressor facility by PT Pertamina EP, and the reactivation of the PHE-12 platform by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore (PHE-WMO). These three projects should only be completed next year.

Blogger Agus Purnomo in PHE-WMO

"But these projects can be completed by 2020," he said.

He explained the Big Bamboo Block Project would produce gas of 3 mmscfd. At present, the project is still in the stage of working on the engineering, procurement, and construction / EPC package and will go on stream in the third quarter of this year. While reactivation of the PHE-12 platform is an improvement activity that was skewed in 2017 ago.

This project is targeted to be realized later this year and can produce oil of 3,000 BPD. Furthermore, the Sembakung compressor project is also scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020 and will produce 2 MMSCFD of gas.

"The success in accelerating the realization of the upstream oil and gas project when the mobility restrictions in the context of Covid-19 mitigation shows the determination and enthusiasm of the upstream oil and gas people to be able to implement the program agreed in the Work Program and Budget (WP&B) 2020 optimally and efficiently," said Julius.

Julius also revealed that the Meliwis Block Project undertaken by Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) will be completed and start operating this July. This project will produce a gas of 20 MMSCFD.

Dwi Soetjipto

The Head of SKK Migas, Dwi Soetjipto appreciated the innovations made by his ranks with the cooperation contract contractors (KKKS) so as to produce an acceleration of projects in the field. He continues to coordinate with KKKS to ensure that the upstream oil and gas project can run well according to schedule.

"During the Covid-19 outbreak, SKK Migas was able to accelerate the implementation of the completion of three projects," he said.

According to him, if the upstream oil and gas project can run well, there will be an increase in the production and production of oil and gas lifting. In addition, the oil and gas project is also able to move the regional economy and create jobs, especially the community around the project site.

"This is in line with the Government's focus on being able to encourage the economy to move during the Covid-19 outbreak," he added.

Dwi acknowledged the Covid-19 outbreak and the still low oil prices were a real test for efforts to realize the oil production target of 1 million BPD in 2030. One of the important keys to achieving the target was how to keep the project going well on schedule.

The success in accelerating the project was due to the successful implementation of the 2 pillars of the SKK Migas transformation, namely the Integrated Operation Center (IOC) and One Door Service Policy (ODSP).

Previously, four oil and gas projects were operating. First, the Grati Pressure Lowering Project in East Java was undertaken by Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty and produced 30 MMSCFD of gas. Then, the development of the Randugunting Field by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Randugunting in Central Java provided additional production of 5 MMSCFD.

Furthermore, the Buntal-5 Field by Medco E&P Natuna Ltd provides additional gas production of 45 MMSCFD. Finally, Sembakung Power Plant by PT Pertamina EP with a capacity of 4 MW to support upstream oil and gas operations in the East Kalimantan region.

In 2020, SKK Migas targets 11 upstream oil and gas projects to be onstream. Another project scheduled to operate this year is Bukit Tua Phase-3 with an estimated production of 31.5 MMSCFD by Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd. planned to begin operations in the first quarter of last year.

Blogger Agus Purnomo in Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd.

Furthermore, besides Meliwis, two projects will operate in the second quarter, namely the 15 MMSCFD Betung Compressor by PT Pertamina EP, Malacca Strait Phase-1 3,000 BPH by EMP Malacca Strait.

In the third quarter of 2020, there were three oil and gas projects scheduled to operate. These three projects are the 2.4 mmscfd Beauty Project by PT Sele Raya Belida, the LP-MP SKG-19 150 MMSCFD Compressor by PT Pertamina EP, and Peciko 8A 8 MMSCFD by PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

Finally, the Merakes Project by ENI Indonesia is scheduled to begin production in the fourth quarter of 2020. The peak production of the Merakes Field is estimated to reach 60,305 barrels of oil equivalent per day / BOEPD. In 2020, national oil and gas lifting was set at 1.95 million BOEPD, up slightly from last year's 1.8 million boepd realization.

Pertamina Hulu Energi Booked US $ 590 Million in Profit

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) managed to book a profit of US $ 590 million last year, up 23.68% from the realization of 2018 of US $ 477 million. The increase in profits was supported by the high realization of the company's oil and gas production.

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE)

PHE's President Director Meidawati said last year's profit realization of US $ 590 million was higher than the 2018 achievement of US $ 477 million. While revenue realization was US $ 2.67 billion, up by 5.81% from the realization in 2018 of US $ 2.53 billion. The increase in financial performance was when the price of oil dropped from US $ 68 per barrel in 2018 to US $ 62 per barrel in 2019.

The company's profit could be higher if last year's oil price reached US $ 68 per barrel. Last year, the company's oil production reached 78,002 barrels per day (BPD). This realization increased by 13.05% from 2018 production achievements of 68,996 bpd. The company's gas production realization also increased slightly from 794 million standard cubic feet per day / mmscfd in 2018 to 803 mmscfd in 2019.

According to him, the achievement of this production performance was due to an increase in oil and gas production from the Jambi Merang and Tomori Blocks. In addition, additional production oil and gas also comes from optimizing planned shutdowns on the Offshore North West Java Block (ONWJ), West Madura Offshore (WMO), and Offshore South East Sumatra (OSES).

"In addition, this production achievement is also due to the success of PHE in reducing production decline from an average of 35% to 20%," Meidawati said.

Blogger Agus Purnomo in PT. PHE West Madura Offshore (WMO)

Meidawati added that ONWJ Block oil and gas production was recorded to increase despite an oil spill from one of its fields, the YY Project. This is because the acquisition of oil and gas production from reworking wells in other fields is very good so that it can cover the lost production from Project YY.

 "Because we work a lot on the ONWJ Block too. So the incidence of oil spills is not very influential. We got a lot of oil and gas production coming in, gas sales also went up, "Meidawati said.

This year, Meidawati hopes that some of the subsidiaries that were the mainstay in the past year will still be able to contribute maximally. This is because his party has set a higher oil and gas production target this year, namely 84 thousand bpd of oil and 822 mmscfd of gas. To pursue the target, he plans to do more massive activities.

"We will carry out drilling for the development of 51 wells and exploration of 6 wells, as well as the reworking of 50 wells," he said.

One of them, he plans to drill two exploration wells in the Nunukan Block. Because, according to the approved plan of development / POD, this block must start producing oil and gas next year.

"If there is no oil and gas flowing, we must return it to the government. Even though we have the privilege to have management rights, "Meidawati said.

PHE Targets Increasing Oil and Gas Lifting

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero), targets production-ready to sell or lift oil and gas 2020 by 181,510 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) or up 3.32% compared to the target in the Work Plan and Corporate Budget (RKAP) 2019 of 175,674 boepd.

Meanwhile, PHE 2020 oil and gas lifting targets include oil lifting of 83,100 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and gas sales of 570.11 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd). Meanwhile, in the 2019 RKAP, 76,971 bopd of oil lifting and 572 MMscfd of gas. Until the end of October 2019, PHE recorded 178,208 boepd of oil and gas lifting. Oil and gas lifting consists of lifting oil 77,179 bopd and gas sales of 585 MMscfd.

"Projections until the end of the year, oil and gas lifting reaches 178,052 boepd or 101% of the target in the 2019 RKAP. Lifting oil is 100% of the target and gas is 102% of the target," said PHE Managing Director Meidawati.

In the 2020 oil and gas lifting target, Meidawati said it still relies on the Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) PHE as the largest contributor to the lifting of oil PHE, which until October 2019 was recorded at 25,788 boepd. Besides ONWJ, there is also PHE Offshore Southeast Sumatra (OSES) which also contributed greatly to reach 25,331 bopd.

The ready-to-sell production from ONWJ and OSES is part of the PHE which has a 90% participation or participating interest (PI). He added, other contributors came from PHE CPP (BOB) 4,763 bopd, Sulawesi PHE Tomori of 3,729 bopd, PHE Jambi Merang of 3,599 bopd, and PHE West Madura Offshore (PHE WMO) with the acquisition of 3,116 bopd.

In addition, the largest contributor to natural gas lifting was PHE Tomori Sulawesi, amounting to 146.8 MMscfd. Regarding the PI scale, PHE is recorded to control 50% of PHE in the Tomori Block. In addition to the Sulawesi Tomori PHE, WMO PHE recorded 94.5 MMscfd of gas lifting, PHE ONWJ 73 MMscfd, and Jambi Merang PHE 68.3 MMscfd. To succeed in the performance of 2019, PHE has also drilled two exploration wells, 35 development wells, and 39 workover wells per October. For 2D seismic, it reaches 4,291 km, and 3D seismic reaches 95 km2.

The total investment cost that has been spent reaches the US $ 216 million until October 2019. Until the end of 2019, the investment costs used are estimated at US $ 328 million.

"Until the end of 2019, we will try to do total drilling. 5 exploration wells and 43 development wells ", he added.

Although oil and gas lifting is estimated to be higher than the target, net profit is projected to decline. In the 2019 RKAP, PHE's net profit is targeted to reach the US $ 592 million. However, the prognosis until the end of the year is the only US $ 421 million with the realization up to October worth the US $ 370 million. Meidawati explained, oil prices were the main factor in not achieving the net profit target this year. According to him, the target is based on oil price assumptions in the range of US $ 70 per barrel. However, the average oil price this year is in the range of US $ 63 per barrel.

"The target might be achieved if suddenly the oil price becomes the US $ 100 per barrel until the end of the year. When viewed from the maximum production, but this price is indeed very influential and something we cannot control, "he said.

Meanwhile, for next year it targets a net profit of US $ 487.03 million.

TECHNICAL CONSTRAINTS

Meanwhile, Pertamina Upstream Director Dharmawan Samsu said that next year's production target was very heavy and challenging. This year, technical obstacles haunt the achievement of Pertamina's oil and gas production.

"We have to make sure the drilling is no longer late because yesterday we were late for the procurement of offshore rigs," he said.

Dharmawan explained the 2020 oil and gas production target of 923,000 boepd, would be obtained from the contribution of oil and gas production from Pertamina's upstream operations in the country of 765,000 boepd. Oil production is estimated to reach 323,000 BPD of oil production and 2,559 MMscfd of gas production. Meanwhile, contributions from Pertamina's upstream operations abroad (PIEP) of oil and gas production amounted to 158 Mboepd, consisting of oil production of 107 Mbopd and gas 298 MMscfd.

"The overall prognosis of Pertamina's oil and gas production in 2019 reaches 906,000 boepd consisting of 414,000 bopd of oil production and 2,850 MMscfd of gas," he added.

PHE Menargetkan Kenaikan Lifting Migas

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero), menargetkan produksi siap jual atau lifting minyak dan gas bumi 2020 sebanyak 181.510 barel setara minyak per hari (boepd) atau naik 3,32% dibandingkan dengan target dalam Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP) 2019 sebanyak 175.674 boepd.

Adapun, target lifting migas PHE 2020 meliputi lifting minyak sebanyak 83.100 barel minyak per hari (bopd) dan penjualan gas sebanyak 570,11 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd). Sementara itu, pada RKAP 2019, lifting minyak sebanyak 76.971 bopd dan gas 572 MMscfd. Hingga akhir Oktober 2019, PHE mencatat lifting migas sebanyak 178.208 boepd. Lifting migas terdiri atas lifting minyak 77.179 bopd dan penjualan gas sebanyak 585 MMscfd. 

“Proyeksi hingga akhir tahun, lifting migas mencapai 178.052 boepd atau 101% dari target pada RKAP 2019. Lifting minyak 100% dari target dan gas 102% dari target,” ujar Direktur Utama PHE Meidawati.

Pada target lifting migas tahun 2020, Meidawati menyatakan pihaknya masih mengandalkan PHE Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) sebagai kontributor terbesar lifting minyak PHE, yang hingga Oktober 2019 tercatat sebanyak 25.788 boepd. Selain ONWJ, ada pula PHE Offshore Southeast Sumatra (OSES) yang juga berkontribusi besar yakni mencapai 25.331 bopd.

Produksi siap jual dari ONWJ dan OSES tersebut merupakan bagian PHE yang memiliki hak partisipasi atau particpating interest (PI) sebesar 90%. Dia menambahkan, kontributor lainnya datang dari PHE CPP (BOB) 4.763 bopd, PHE Tomoli Sulawesi sebesar 3 .729 bopd, PHE Jambi Merang sebesar 3.599 bopd, dan PHE West Madura Offshore (PHE WMO) dengan perolehan lifting 3.116 bopd.

Selain itu, lifting gas bumi kontributor terbesar adalah PHE Tomori Sulawesi sebanyak 146,8 MMscfd. Terkait dengan besaran PI, PHE tercatat menguasai 50% PHE di Blok Tomori. Selain PHE Tomori Sulawesi, PHE WMO mencatat lifting gas sebesar 94,5 MMscfd, PHE ONWJ 73 MMscfd, dan PHE Jambi Merang 68,3 MMscfd. 

    Untuk menyukseskan kinerja 2019, PHE juga telah melakukan pengeboran dua sumur eksplorasi, 35 sumur pengembangan, dan 39 sumur work over per Oktober. Untuk seismik 2D mencapai 4.291 km dan seismik 3D mencapai 95 km2.

Total biaya investasi yang telah dikeluarkan mencapai US$216 juta hingga Oktober 2019. Hingga akhir 2019, biaya investasi yang digunakan diestimasi mencapai US$328 juta.

“Hingga akhir tahun 2019, kami berupaya melakukan pengeboran total. 5 sumur eksplorasi dan 43 sumur pengembangan”, tambahnya. 

Kendati lifting migas diperkirakan lebih tinggi dari target, laba bersih justru diproyeksi mengalami penurunan. Dalam RKAP 2019, laba bersih PHE ditargetkan mencapai US$ 592 juta. Namun, prognosis hingga akhir tahun hanya senilai US$421 juta dengan realisasi hingga Oktober senilai US$ 370 juta. 

     Meidawati menjelaskan, harga minyak menjadi faktor utama tidak tercapainya target laba bersih pada tahun ini. Menurutnya, target tersebut berdasarkan asumsi harga minyak pada kisaran US$70 per barel. Namun, rata-rata harga minyak sepanjang tahun ini berada pada kisaran US$ 63 per barel.

“Target mungkin tercapai kalau tiba-tiba harga minyak jadi US$100 per barel sampai akhir tahun. Kalau dilihatkan dari produksi sudah maksimal, tapi harga ini memang sangat berpengaruh dan sesuatu yang tidak bisa kami kendalikan,” tuturnya.

Adapun, untuk tahun depan pihaknya menargetkan laba bersih senilai US$487,03 juta.

KENDALA TEKNIS

Sementara itu, Direktur Hulu Pertamina Dharmawan Samsu mengatakan bahwa target produksi tahun depan sangat berat dan menantang. Tahun ini, kendala teknis menghantui pencapaian produksi migas Pertamina.

“Kami harus pastikan pengeboran tidak telat lagi, karena kemarin kami telat untuk pengadaan rig offshore,” katanya.

Dharmawan menjelaskan target produksi migas 2020 sebanyak 923.000 boepd, akan didapatkan dari kontribusi produksi migas dari operasi hulu Pertamina di dalam negeri sebanyak 765.000 boepd. Untuk produksi minyak diperkirakan mencapai 323.000 bph produksi minyak dan produksi gas 2.559 MMscfd.

      Sementara itu, kontribusi dari operasi hulu Pertamina di luar negeri (PIEP) produksi migas sebesar 158 Mboepd, terdiri atas produksi minyak sebesar 107 Mbopd dan gas 298 MMscfd.

“Prognosis produksi migas Pertamina 2019 secara keseluruhan mencapai 906.000 boepd terdiri dari produksi Minyak 414.000 bopd dan gas 2.850 MMscfd,” tambahnya.
