Chevron Ready to Transfer Oil to Pertamina

PT Pertamina (Persero) agreed to buy 2.5 million barrels of oil per month from PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia and Rokan Block in Riau. So far, oil-based revenue sharing from the Rokan Block, which is Chevron's share, is always exported.

Senior Vice President of Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) Pertamina Hasto Wibowo said that the company had agreed to transfer crude oil exports from a number of cooperation contract contractors (KKKS) of 3.35 million barrels per month or around 112,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Petronas

    Of the total, the oil supply from Chevron is the largest, while the rest comes from several other contractors, such as Petronas, and Medco. However, the company did not enter into an oil purchase agreement with ExxonMobil Indonesia.

Previously, nine KKKS had agreed to sell oil to Pertamina and leave one large contractor in the discussion phase with the government, namely Chevron Pacific Indonesia. At that time, Chevron was one of several oil and gas contractors who claimed they were still not can sell the oil that is the profit share of the giant company from the United States to Pertamina. At that time, Chevron said there were still tax problems in the process of selling oil to Pertamina.

"Regarding the selling price, of course we have compromised. If it is more expensive than imports, we choose to remain imported, "Hasto said.

According to him, with the agreement, the oil and gas SOE was able to reduce the volume of crude oil imports by around 4 million barrels per month. The average Pertamina crude oil imports of around 11 million barrels per month can be reduced to 7 million-7.5 million barrels per month.

"Costs will also decrease, overall for the country, foreign exchange is also safe."

Arcandra Tahar

Arcandra Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Tahar once mentioned that there was the potential for contractor crude oil which had been exported so far to be transferred to Pertamina, such as Chevron and ExxonMobil. 

CNOOC 

     Arcandra explained, Chevron has been gaining oil revenues of 92,000 bpd, ExxonMobil Indonesia 30,000 bpd, Petronas Carigali 13,400 bpd, CNOOC 13,000 bpd, Medco E & P Indonesia at 11,000 bpd, and Chevron Indonesia Company (CICO) 7,000 bpd.

Large oil and gas companies from the United States, such as Chevron and Exxon, are the biggest supporters of oil production in Indonesia. PT Pertamina EP occupies the third position of three cooperation contract contractors that produce oil a lot during 2018.

Chevron Siap Alihkan Minyak ke Pertamina

PT Pertamina (Persero) menyepakati untuk membeli minyak mentah jatah ekspor dari PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia sebanyak 2,5 juta barel per bulan yang berasal dan Blok Rokan di Riau. Selama ini, bagi hasil minyak dari Blok Rokan yang merupakan jatah Chevron selalu diekspor.

Senior Vice President Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) Pertamina Hasto Wibowo mengatakan bahwa perseoan telah menyepakati pengalihan ekspor minyak mentah dari sejumlah kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) sebanyak 3,35 juta barel per bulan atau sekitar 112.000 barel per hari (bph).

    Dari total tersebut, suplai minyak dari Chevron merupakan yang terbesar, sedangkan sisanya berasal dari beberapa kontraktor lain, seperti Petronas, dan Medco. Namun perseroan tidak melakukan kesepakatan pembelian minyak dengan ExxonMobil Indonesia.

Sebelumnya, sembilan KKKS telah setuju untuk menjual minyak ke Pertamina dan menyisakan satu kontraktor besar dalam tahap pembahasan dengan pemerintah, yakni Chevron Pacific Indonesia. Saat itu, Chevron merupakan salah satu dari beberapa kontraktor migas yang mengaku masih belum

bisa menjual minyak yang menjadi bagi hasil perusahaan raksasa dari Amerika Serikat itu ke Pertamina. Saat itu, Chevron menyatakan masih ada masalah perpajakan dalam proses penjualan minyak ke Pertamina.

“Terkait dengan harga jual tentu sudah kami kompromikan. Kalau lebih mahal dari impor, kami pilih tetap impor,” kata Hasto.

Menurutnya, dengan kesepakatan itu, BUMN migas itu mampu mengurangi volume impor minyak mentah sekitar 4 juta barel per bulan. Rerata impor minyak mentah Pertamina sekitar 11 juta barel per bulan bisa ditekan menjadi 7 juta-7,5 juta barel per bulan.

“Beban biaya juga akan berkurang, secara keseluruhan untuk negara, devisa juga aman."

Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Arcandra Tahar pernah menyebutkan ada potensi minyak mentah milik kontraktor yang selama ini diekspor bisa dialihkan ke Pertamina, seperti Chevron dan ExxonMobil. 

     Arcandra menjelaskan, selama ini Chevron mendapatkan bagi hasil minyak  sebesar 92.000 bph, ExxonMobil Indonesia 30.000 bph, Petronas Carigali 13.400 bph, CNOOC 13.000 bph, Medco E&P Indonesia sebesar 11.000 bph, dan Chevron Indonesia Company (CICO) 7.000 bph.

Perusahaan migas besar dari Amerika Serikat, seperti Chevron dan Exxon, menjadi pendukung terbesar produksi minyak di Indonesia. PT Pertamina EP menduduki posisi ketiga dari tiga kontraktor kontrak kerja sama yang banyak memproduksi minyak sepanjang 2018.

Petronas Adds Oil Well in East Java

The Java Bali Nusa Tenggara Special Oil and Gas Work Unit [SKK Migas Jabanusa] targets the East Java Region oil and gas production to increase in 2019. This is due to Petronas' plan to open a new well.

"God willing, 2019 in Petronas will add to the well so that it can increase production. We hope that all licensing matters and other matters can also be completed on time so that East Java Oil and Gas can increase production, "said Ali Masyhar, Head of SKK Migas Jabanusa, in between the East Java provincial government stakeholders at Four Point Hotel Surabaya.

One speaker, Bayu Wahyudiono, Head of Sub-Directorate for Development of Non-Conventional Oil and Gas Working Areas of the Directorate of Upstream Oil and Gas Business Development said East Java in 2018 according to the records of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources experiencing a decline in production but in 2019 East Java will have a gas surplus because some well development will produce.

"East Java is also the only lucky area because besides being rich in natural gas potential, it already has a gas pipeline network so that 100 percent of the natural gas produced by KKKS is different from other regions where the gas is sold out because there is no gas network infrastructure," explained Bayu.

Furthermore, Bayu explained that currently the gas contained in East Java is around 4.66 Trillions of Standard Cubic Feet of gas [TSCF] while the gas that has been exploited is around 628.66 MMCFD.

Petronas Tambah Sumur Minyak di Jatim

Satuan Kerja Khusus Minyak dan Gas Jawa Bali Nusa Tenggara [SKK Migas Jabanusa] mentargetkan produksi migas Wilayah Jatim akan mengalami peningkatan di tahun 2019. Hal ini tidak lepas dari rencana Petronas yang akan membuka sumur baru.

“Insya Allah 2019 di Petronas ini akan menambah Sumur sehingga bisa menambah produksi. Kami berharap semua urusan perizinan maupun urusan yang lainnya juga bisa diselesaikan tepat waktu sehingga Migas Jawa Timur bisa bertambah lagi produksinya," kata Ali Masyhar, Kepala SKK Migas Jabanusa, di sela kegiatan silahturahmi dengan pemangku kepentingan Pemprov Jatim di Hotel Four Point Surabaya.

Salah seorang pembicara, Bayu Wahyudiono, Kepala Subdirektorat Pengembangan Wilayah Kerja Minyak dan Gas Bumi Non Konvensional Direktorat Pembinaan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi mengatakan Jatim di tahun 2018 ini menurut catatan Kementerian ESDM mengalami penurunan produksi tetapi di tahun 2019 Jatim akan surplus gas karena beberapa pengembangan sumur akan menghasilkan.

"Jatim juga menjadi satu-satunya daerah yang beruntung sebab selain kaya dengan potensi gas bumi. Sebab sudah memiliki jaringan pipa gas sehingga 100 persen hasil gas bumi yang diproduksi KKKS. Berbeda dengan daerah lain yang gasnya dijual keluar karena belum ada infrastruktur jaringan gasnya," jelas Bayu.

Lebih lanjut, Bayu memaparkan saat ini gas yang terkandung di perut bumi Jatim ini sekitar 4,66 Trillions of Standard Cubic Feet of gas [TSCF) sedangkan gas yang sudah di ekploitasi sekitar 628,66 MMCFD.

ConocoPhillips Submits Corridor Block Proposal

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) said that Conoco-Philips had submitted a proposal to develop the Corridor Block after its contract expired in 2023. Conoco-Philips is the existing block contractor.

ESDM Ministry's Director General of Oil and Gas, Djoko Siswanto, said that the development proposal had been submitted. The proposal is a complete document of the planned development of the Corridor Block from technical and commercial aspects.

"This (proposal) is being discussed. We have received the proposal, "he said in Jakarta.

Djoko had explained, currently the Corridor Block participating rights holders are Philip Conoco 54%, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Corridor 10%, and Repsol 36%. Conoco Philip said that he would still cooperate with Repsol in working on the Corridor Block after the production sharing contract (PSC) was completed in 2023. While Pertamina proposed 100% participation rights after 2023.

"Pertamina has submitted its proposal, very thick. So it takes time (for evaluation), "Djoko said.

Vice President of Commercial, Business Development & Relations, ConocoPhillips Indonesia, Taufik Ahmad confirmed that his party had submitted a proposal to extend the management of the Corridor Block to the government.

"I can confirm that we have submitted a proposal to extend the Corridor Block on September 27," he said

The Corridor Block is one of three oil and gas blocks that will expire in 2023 in cooperation contracts. Referring to the ESDM Ministry's initial plan, the fate of the block that expires its 2023 contract will be decided this October. Therefore, the government had previously given ConocoPhillips time until the end of September to submit its proposal.

Until last July, the realization of gas production from the Corridor Block was recorded at 828.41 million standard cubic feet per day / mmscfd, exceeding the target of 810 mmscfd. But until the end of the year, the production of this block is projected to be only 800 mmscfd. While next year, the Corridor Block is targeted to produce 810 mmscfd of gas. The Corridor Block contract was signed in 1983 and ends on December 19, 2023.

According to information on the ConocoPhilip page, the Corridor Block consists of two oil producing fields and seven gas fields. This oil field is Suban Baru and Rawa, while the gas fields are Suban, Sumpal and Dayung. Gas produced from the Corridor Block is sold through long-term contracts into the country and Singapore.

Currently ConocoPhilip continues to invest in maintaining the Corridor Block gas production. Conoco Philips drills development wells in Sumpal and Suban. In addition, the US oil and gas company built additional compressor facilities in Suban.

While the other two oil and gas blocks that were completed in 2023 are Rimau and Jabung blocks, currently managed by Petrochina International Jabung Ltd with participating rights (participating interest / PI) 42.86%, while other PI holders are Petronas Carigali 42.86 % and PT Pertamina (Persero) 14.29%. 

   Until last July, the block's oil production was recorded at 14,525 barrels per day (hph) and gas 210.1 mmscfd. This block contract expires on February 26, 2023.

ConocoPhillips Serahkan Proposal Blok Koridor

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menyatakan Conoco-Philips telah memasukkan proposal rencana pengembangan Blok Koridor pasca kontraknya berakhir pada 2023. Conoco-Philips merupakan kontraktor eksisting blok ini.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Djoko Siswanto mengatakan, proposal pengembangan itu telah diserahkan. Proposal merupakan dokumen lengkap rencana pengembangan Blok Koridor dari aspek teknis dan komersil. 

“Ini (proposal) sedang dibahas. Kami sudah terima proposalnya,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Djoko sempat menjelaskan, saat ini pemegang hak partisipasi Blok Koridor adalah Conoco Philip 54%, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Corridor 10%, dan Repsol 36%. Conoco Philip dikatakannya masih akan menggandeng Repsol dalam menggarap Blok Koridor setelah kontrak kerja sama (production sharing contract/ PSC) selesai di 2023. Sementara Pertamina mengajukan kepemilikan hak partisipasi 100% setelah 2023.

“Pertamina sudah memasukkan proposalnya, sangat tebal. Jadi perlu waktu (untuk evaluasi),” tutur Djoko.

Vice President Commercial, Business Development & Relations ConocoPhillips Indonesia Taufik Ahmad membenarkan bahwa pihaknya sudah memasukkan proposal perpanjangan pengelolaan Blok Koridor ke pemerintah. 

“Saya bisa mengkonfirmasi bahwa kami sudah memasukkan pengajuan perpanjangan Corridor Block pada 27 September,” tuturnya 

Blok Koridor merupakan satu dari tiga blok migas yang akan berakhir kontrak kerja samanya pada 2023. Mengacu rencana awal Kementerian ESDM, nasib blok yang habis kontraknya 2023 akan diputuskan pada Oktober ini. Karenanya, pemerintah sebelumnya memberikan waktu kepada ConocoPhilips sampai akhir September untuk menyerahkan proposalnya. 

Hingga Juli lalu, realisasi produksi gas dari Blok Koridor tercatat sebesar 828,41 million standard cubic feet per day/mmscfd, melebihi target 810 mmscfd. Namun sampai akhir tahun nanti, produksi blok ini diproyeksikan hanya 800 mmscfd. Sementara pada tahun depan, Blok Koridor ditargetkan menghasilkan gas 810 mmscfd. Kontrak Blok Koridor ditandatangani pada 1983 dan berakhir pada 19 Desember 2023.

Menurut keterangan dalam laman ConocoPhilip, Blok Koridor terdiri dari dua lapangan penghasil minyak dan tujuh lapangan gas. Lapangan minyak ini yakni Suban Baru dan Rawa, sementara lapangan gasnya adalah Suban, Sumpal, dan Dayung. Gas yang dihasilkan dari Blok Koridor dijual melalui kontrak jangka panjang ke dalam negeri dan Singapura.

Saat ini ConocoPhilip terus berinvestasi guna menjaga produksi gas Blok Koridor. Conoco Philips melakukan pengeboran sumur pengembangan di Sumpal dan Suban. Selain itu, perusahaan migas Amerika Serikat itu membangun fasilitas kompresor tambahan di Suban.

Sementara dua blok migas lain yang selesai kontraknya pada 2023 yakni Blok Rimau dan Jabung, saat ini dikelola oleh Petrochina International Jabung Ltd dengan kepemilikan hak partisipasi (participating interest/ PI) 42,86%, sementara pemegang PI yang lain adalah Petronas Carigali 42,86% dan PT Pertamina (Persero) 14,29%. Sampai Juli lalu, produksi minyak blok ini tercatat sebesar 14.525 barel per hari (hph) dan gas 210,1 mmscfd. Kontrak blok ini habis pada 26 Februari 2023.

Petronas: No Arbitration on Kepodang

Petronas Carigali finally opened a vote related to the compensation issue in the gas transportation agreement contract with PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) in Kepodang Field Blok Muriah. 

     Manono Setiawan, Manager of Corporal Affairs & Administration, Petronas Carigali, said that Petronas has not received any information related to PGN's move to sue Petronas for arbitration because it has not paid ship or pay liability of US $ 32 million. According to Andiono, Petronas has followed the agreement in the gas transportation agreement.

"We have not received any official notification from PGN for arbitration and certainly we always follow what is in the agreement," said Andiono

However, he did not confirm the amount of ship or pay obligations paid by Petronas to PGN.

"In principle we follow what is in the agreement," he explained.

As is known, PGN until now still still not get compensation and Petronas due to the majestic conditions in Kepodang Field. The total compensation that should have been paid in accordance with the mechanism of ship or pay contracts reached approximately US $ 32 million. 

     Director of PGN Infrastructure and Technology Dilo Seno Widagdo said PGN will settle the compensation problem through arbitration.

"Petronas has not paid the terms of the gas contract and we continue to arbitase," Dilo said on Friday (22/6).

Petronas: Belum Ada Arbitrase atas Kepodang

Petronas Carigali akhirnya buka suara terkait masalah ganti rugi dalam kontrak gas transportation agreement dengan PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) di Lapangan Kepodang Blok Muriah. 

     Manajer Corpopate Affairs & Administration Petronas Carigali Andiono Setiawan mengatakan, Petronas sampai saat ini belum mendapatkan informasi terkait langkah PGN yang akan menuntut Petronas kepengadilan arbitrase karena belum membayar kewajiban ship or pay sebesar US$ 32 juta. Menurut Andiono, Petronas telah mengikuti perjanjian dalam gas transportation agreement . 

"Kami belum menerima pemberitahuan resmi dari PGN untuk arbitrase dan yang pasti kami selalu mengikuti apa yang ada di dalam perjanjian," ujar Andiono

Namun ia tidak menegaskan jumlah kewajiban ship or pay yang telah dibayarkan oleh Petronas kepada PGN.

“Pada prinsipnya kami mengikuti apa yang ada di dalam perjanjian," terangnya. 

Seperti diketahui, PGN hingga saat ini masih belum juga mendapatkan ganti rugi dan Petronas akibat kondisi kahar di Lapangan Kepodang. Total ganti rugi yang seharusnya sudah dibayar sesuai mekanisme kontrak ship or pay mencapai sekitar US$ 32 juta. 

     Direktur Infrastruktur dan Teknologi PGN Dilo Seno Widagdo menyebut, PGN akan menyelesaikan permasalah ganti rugi tersebut melalui jalur arbitrase. 

"Petronas belum membayar sesuai ketentuan kontrak gas. Kami lanjutkan ke arbitase," tegas Dilo, Jumat (22/6).

PGN Sues Petronas Case Force Majeur Kepodang

PGN claims to have tried a non-court line to ask for $ 32 million in compensation.

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk will take legal action to resolve the dispute over the non-fulfillment of gas delivery agreement with Petronas Carigali Muriah Ltd. The company will sue for compensation of US $ 32 million or equivalent to Rp 450 billion.

At the beginning of this lawsuit, PGN's subsidiary, PT Kalimantan Jawa Gas (KJG), did not get the gas supply under the Gas Transportation Agreement (GTA) agreement from Petronas Carigali Mariah Ltd. PGN believes that Petronas can not fulfill the gas distribution for Kalija Phase I transmission pipeline. In the agreement, Petronas must transfer the amount of gas to Kalija I Pipe by 104 MMSCFD from 2015 to 2019 with ship or pay decision. Terms of ship or pay is a form of guarantee on investment that must be paid.

Muriah Block Petronas

If Petronas does not distribute 104 mmscfd of gas from 2015 to 2019, Petronas must pay the KJG. In fact, the realization of Petronas distribution since 2015-2017 is always less or below 104 mmscfd. In fact, until mid-June 2018, Petronas Carigali Muriah did not immediately make any compensation payments. In accordance with the mechanism of contract ship or pay between Petronas to PT Kalimantan Java Gas (KJG) reaches approximately US $ 32 million.

Director of PGN Infrastructure and Technology Dilo Seno Widagdo said that his side will solve the compensation problem through legal channels.

"Petronas has not paid according to the terms of the GTA contract, so we will continue to arbitase," said Dilo.

According Dilo, PGN must take the path of arbitration because it has made efforts to ask for compensation from Petronas but it did not work.

"All efforts out of court have been tried, now 'we demand to the court," he said.

Petronas party is still silent about this case. Manager of Corporate Affairs & Administration Petronas Carigali Andiono Setiawan did not reply to KONTAN's short message sent on Sunday (24/6) when asked to respond to PGN's steps demanding compensation to the arbitration tribunal.

Petronas at the beginning of this year has declared a force majeure in Lapangan Kepodang Blok Muriah. Therefore Kepodang field production is incompatible with Plan of Development (POD) and unable to meet gas supply to PGN according to GTA.

In the Petronas PoD approved by SKK Migas in 2012, Kepodang Field is projected to produce up to 2026. This projection is in accordance with the number of hydrocarbons in Kepodang Field which can be produced into gas of 354 billions of standard cubic feet (bscf) of gas.

However, the calculation result of Lemigas analysis at the end of 2017 shows that gas reserve in place in Kepodang Field is only 107 bscf. While in house analysis Petronas calculated reserves of only 94 bscf. So the production of gas field Kepodang not fit the target. In POD, Kepodang Field gas production is estimated at 116 mmscfd, but now the Kepodang Field gas production is only 70-80 mmscfd.

PGN Gugat Petronas Kasus Kahar Kepodang

PGN mengklaim sudah mencoba jalur non pengadilan untuk minta ganti rugi US$ 32 juta.

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk akan menempuh jalur hukum untuk menyelesaikan sengketa atas tidak terpenuhinya perjanjian pengiriman gas dengan Petronas Carigali Muriah Ltd. Perusahaan ini akan menggugat ganti rugi sebesar US$ 32 juta atau setara Rp 450 miliar.

Awal mula gugatan ini karena anak usaha PGN yakni PT Kalimantan Jawa Gas (KJG), tidak mendapatkan pasokan gas sesuai perjanjian Gas Transportation Agreement (GTA) dari Petronas Carigali Mariah Ltd. PGN menilai Petronas tidak bisa memenuhi penyaluran gas untuk Pipa transmisi Kalija Fase I. Dalam perjanjian itu, Petronas wajib mengalirkan jumlah gas ke Pipa Kalija I sebesar 104 MMSCFD kurun waktu dari 2015 sampai 2019 dengan ketetapan ship or pay. Ketentuan ship or pay yaitu bentuk penjaminan atas investasi yang harus dibayarkan.

Jika Petronas tidak menyalurkan gas 104 mmscfd dari 2015 sampai 2019, Petronas harus membayar kepada KJG. Pada kenyataannya, realisasi penyaluran Petronas sejak 2015-2017 selalu kurang atau di bawah 104 mmscfd. Faktanya, hingga pertengahan Juni 2018, Petronas Carigali Muriah tidak segera melakukan pembayaran ganti rugi. Sesuai mekanisme kontrak ship or pay antara Petronas kepada PT Kalimantan Jawa Gas (KJG) mencapai sekitar US$ 32 juta.

Direktur Infrastruktur dan Teknologi PGN Dilo Seno Widagdo mengungkapkan, pihaknya akan menyelesaikan permasalahan ganti rugi tersebut melalui jalur hukum. 

"Petronas belum membayar sesuai ketentuan kontrak GTA. Ya kami lanjutkan ke arbitase," kata Dilo.

Menurut Dilo, PGN harus menempuh jalur arbitrase karena telah melakukan upaya meminta ganti rugi dari Petronas tapi tidak berhasil. 

"Semua upaya di luar pengadilan sudah kami coba, sekarang 'kami tuntut ke pengadilan," tegasnya.

Pihak Petronas sampai saat ini masih bungkam soal kasus ini. Manager Corporate Affairs & Administration Petronas Carigali Andiono Setiawan tidak menjawab pesan singkat yang dikirimkan KONTAN pada Minggu (24/6) saat diminta menanggapi langkah PGN yang menuntut ganti rugi hingga pengadilan arbitrase. 

Petronas pada awal tahun ini telah menyatakan kondisi kahar di Lapangan Kepodang Blok Muriah. Makanya produksi lapangan Kepodang tidak sesuai dengan Plan of Development (POD) dan tidak mampu memenuhi pasokan gas kepada PGN sesuai GTA. 

Dalam PoD Petronas yang disetujui SKK Migas pada 2012, Lapangan Kepodang diproyeksi bisa berproduksi hingga 2026. Proyeksi ini sesuai jumlah hidrokarbon di Lapangan Kepodang yang bisa diproduksikan menjadi gas sebesar 354 billions of standard cubic feet (bscf) gas.

Namun hasil perhitungan analisa Lemigas pada akhir 2017 lalu menunjukan cadangan gas in place di Lapangan Kepodang hanya 107 bscf. Sementara in house analysis Petronas menghitung cadangannya hanya 94 bscf. Makanya produksi gas Lapangan Kepodang tidak sesuai target. Dalam POD, produksi gas Lapangan Kepodang diperkirakan 116 mmscfd, tapi saat ini produksi gas Lapangan Kepodang hanya berkisar 70-80 mmscfd.

Petronas strives to exceed production targets

Petronas (Petroliam Nasional Berhad) is seeking to exceed the 15,000 barrels per day (bpd) target set by the government through SKK Migas at Ketapang Field Working Area (WK) in 2018. Through the development of a field approved by SKK Migas, Petronas hopes can maintain production levels in the range of 16,000 bpd.

"For development in Bukit Tua Field, the main objective is to keep production at a range of 16,000 bpd. The target is above the government's target of 15,000 bpd, "said Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs & Administration PC Muriah, Andiono Setiawan.

WorkingArea Petronas

Andiono explained that Petronas optimism maintains production from Bukit Tua WK Ketapang field based on performance since May 2015 when it first succeeded in delivering petroleum in accordance with the current target date.

"Since the beginning of production in 2015, the production is fairly good which is about 18 thousand barrels per day. Above the target set by the government at that time is 16 thousand barrels per day. Because there is a natural decline, now the government's target of 15,000 bpd, Petronas hopes to reach about 16,000 bpd, "he said.

Andiono confirmed that the development of the field to maintain the natural oil production is also likely to increase gas production from Bukit Tua field. Described, the current gas production ranges from 30 mmscfd which flowed to the Java Java (PJB) through the East Java Petrogas (PJU). With the development of the field is expected to increase gas production by about 15 mmscfd.

"Petronas is committed to supporting electricity supply by PJB. The reliability of electricity is very important for economic growth in East Java Region can be maintained even improved, "he explained.

The spirit of Petronas to exploit in the field of Bukit Tua located on the North Coast of Madura Island proves the commitment of Petronas oil and gas company from Malaysia to invest in upstream oil and gas sector in Indonesia WK Ketapang is officially signed as a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) with the Government of Indonesia , in June 1998. Since working on WK Ketapang, after taking over ConocoPhillips shares, on December 1, 2000 to July 25, 2008, Petronas operations showed very positive performance.

By cooperating with Trunojoyo University as a Cooperation Contract Contractor (KKKS), Petronas not only invests in upstream oil and gas, but also conducts community social investment activities through Social Responsibility programs that have been initiated since 2013.

"Petronas cooperates with local educational institutions such as Trunojoyo Madura University (UTM) in conducting social studies which become the place of operation of Petronas in Gresik and Sampang," said the alumnus of ITS Surabaya.

Armed with the results of studies accompanied by coordination and communication with relevant Local Governments, Petronas continues to implement sustainable programs covering 3 areas of education, community empowerment and environment and public health.

Petronas Berupaya Lampaui Target Produksi

Petronas (Petroliam Nasional Berhad) berupaya bisa melampaui target produksi 15.000 barel per hari (bph) yang ditetapkan pemerintah melalui SKK Migas di Lapangan Bukit Tua Wilayah Kerja (WK) Ketapang pada tahun 2018. Melalui pengembangan lapangan yang telah mendapat persetujuan SKK Migas, Petronas berharap bisa memelihara tingkat produksi pada kisaran 16.000 bph.

“Untuk pengembangan di Lapangan Bukit Tua, tujuannya utamanya adalah menjaga produksi pada kisaran 16.000 bph. Target itu di atas target pemerintah yakni 15.000 bph," kata Senior Manager Corporate Affairs &Administration PC Muriah, Andiono Setiawan.

Andiono menjelaskan, optimisme Petronas mempertahankan produksi dari lapangan Bukit Tua WK Ketapang didasarkan kinerja sejak Mei 2015 saat pertama kali berhasil mengalirkan minyak bumi sesuai dengan target waktu saat itu.

“Sejak awal produksi di tahun 2015, produksi yang dihasilkan terbilang bagus yakni sekitar 18 ribu barel per hari. Di atas target yang ditetapkan pemerintah saat itu yaitu 16 ribu barel per hari. Karena ada penurunan alamiah, kini target pemerintah 15.000 bph, Petronas berharap bisa mencapai sekitar 16.000 bph,” katanya.

Andiono membenarkan, pengembangan lapangan untuk mempertahankan produksi minyak yang secara alamiah mengalami penurunan juga berpeluang menambah produksi gas dari Lapangan Bukit Tua. Dijelaskan, saat ini produksi gas berkisar 30 mmscfd yang dialirkan ke Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PJB) melalui Petrogas Jatim Utama (PJU). Dengan pengembangan lapangan tersebut diharapkan ada kenaikan produksi gas sekitar 15 mmscfd.

“Petronas berkomitmen mendukung penyediaan listrik oleh PJB. Keandalan listrik sangat penting agar pertumbuhan ekonomi di Wilayah Jawa Timur bisa dijaga bahkan ditingkatkan,” jelasnya.

Semangat Petronas melakukan eksploitasi di lapangan Bukit Tua yang berada di Pantai Utara Pulau Madura menjadi bukti komitmen Petronas perusahaan migas berasal dari Malaysia tersebut berinvestasi di sektor hulu migas di Indonesia WK Ketapang resmi ditandatangani sebagai kontrak kerjasama/PSC (Production Sharing Contract) dengan Pemerintah Republik Indonesia, pada Juni 1998. Sejak mengerjakan WK Ketapang, setelah mengambilalih saham ConocoPhillips, pada 1 Desember 2000 hingga 25 Juli 2008, kegiatan operasi Petronas menunjukkan kinerja yang sangat positif.

Dengan menggandeng Universitas Trunojoyo Sebagai Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS), Petronas tidak hanya berinvestasi di bidang hulu minyak dan gas bumi, tetapi juga melaksanakan kegiatan investasi sosial masyarakat melalui program-program Tanggung Jawab Sosial yang sudah dirintis sejak tahun 2013.

“Petronas menggandeng institusi pendidikan lokal yakni Universitas Trunojoyo Madura (UTM) dalam melakukan studi sosial yang menjadi tempat beroperasinya Petronas yakni di Gresik dan Sampang,” jelas alumnus ITS Surabaya ini.

Berbekal hasil studi yang dibarengi dengan koordinasi dan komunikasi dengan Pemerintah Daerah terkait, Petronas terus melaksanakan program yang berkelanjutan yang melingkupi 3 bidang yakni bidang pendidikan, bidang pemberdayaan masyarakat dan bidang lingkungan dan kesehatan masyarakat.
