   Previously, there were four projects that had been streamed in the first quarter of 2020, namely the Grati Pressure Lowering project, the Randugunting Gas Field development project, the Buntal-5 Gas Field development project, and the construction of the Sembakung Power Plant. The projects provide an additional 80 mmscfd of gas production and generate 4 megawatts (MW) electricity.

Dwi said the project, with an investment of US $ 15.1 million, was completed on time despite being overshadowed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Bukit Tua Phase-3 Field Project is projected to increase gas production by 31.5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) and oil by 3,182 barrels of oil per day (bopd).

"The development of Bukit Tua Phase-3 is a very important project, considering the additional oil and gas production is very large and very beneficial for consumers, especially in East Java," Dwi said.

SKK Migas Seeks 12 Oil and Gas Projects This Year is Not Delayed

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) seeks to prevent 12 oil and gas projects scheduled to start production this year due to the widespread of the Corona Virus.

Dwi Soetjipto

SKK Migas Head Dwi Soetjipto said that the Covid-19 pandemic, which was followed by a call for the community to remain at home, made the oil and gas operational schedule for the project shifted from the plan. From his observation, there is one oil and gas project which has the potential to be delayed from this year's operation to next year.

"But we are trying to minimize the shift. We will inform you more fully in mid-April, "he said.

SKK Migas

SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno added that the oil and gas project development has the potential to be disrupted due to a change in crew and logistics supply. Nevertheless, he will continue to conduct intensive coordination to mitigate and carry out recovery plans for the oil and gas project. In fact, several projects he said had been operating.

This Week, Kepodang Gas's fate is discussed

The plan to halt the gas distribution of Kepodang Field since September 23, 2019, will be determined this week. Deputy Operations of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Julius Wiratno said that he and Petronas Carigali Muriah Ltd and Saka Energi will hold a meeting to finalize the fate of the field in the Muriah Block.

"(Talks) business to business is still not finished, the deadline on Friday [1/24] finalized. Hopefully, it will flow quickly and add productively, he said.

Julius explained that the discussion between the two parties was still constrained regarding obligations after the operation. In addition, the remaining reserve potential is estimated to be small. 

    Even though the amount is not detailed, SKK Migas said that the potential is still possible for exploration. SKK Migas also expects Saka Energi's commitment to developing Kepodang Field in the future, "he said.

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGAS), the parent company of Saka Energi in the agenda of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS), had stated that in December last year there was an agreement with SKK Migas to continue the gas distribution from Kepodang Field. 

Kepodang Field Petronas

    PGAS Commercial Director Dilo Seno Widagdo said, his party indeed hoped it could still continue the gas distribution. "Saka Energi hopes that it can continue distribution while Petronas does not. We expect distribution in January or next month [February]," he said.

Efforts to resume gas distribution in the Muriah WK are in line with the planned improvement of the Saka Energi portfolio through the development of exploration and exploration around the Muriah Block. "If it can be opened again it could be more because the pressure has risen so that it can be more than 26 mmscfd," Dilo said.

PGAS Managing Director Gigih Prakoso said efforts to improve the Saka portfolio were the main programs this year.

"Some portfolios are not productive so that they can have a negative impact on Saka's overall performance," he said.

Pekan ini, Nasib Gas Kepodang Dibahas 

Rencana penyaluran kembali gas Lapangan Kepodang yang terhenti sejak sejak 23 September 2019 akan ditentukan pekan ini. 

    Deputi Operasi Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Julius Wiratno mengatakan, pihaknya bersama Petronas Carigali Muriah Ltd dan Saka Energi akan menggelar pertemuan umuk Finalisasi nasib lapangan di Blok Muriah ini.

“(Pembicaraan) business to business masih belum selesai, tenggat waktu Jumat [24/1] difinalisasi. Semoga segera cepat mengalir dan menambah produlsif kata dia.

Julius menjelaskan, diskusi kedua pihak masih terkendala perihal kewajiban setelah operasional. Selain itu potensi cadangan tersisa diperkirakan hanya sedikit. Meski tidak memerinci jumlahnya, SKK Migas menyebutkan potensi yang ada masih mungkin untuk eksplorasi. SKK Migas juga mengharapkan komitmen Saka Energi untuk pengembangan Lapangan Kepodang ke depannya,” Kata dia.

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGAS), induk usaha Saka Energi dalam agenda Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham Luar Biasa (RUPSLB), sempat menyatakan jika Desember tahun lalu telah ada kesepakatan dengan SKK Migas umnuk meneruskan penyaluran gas dari Lapangan Kepodang.

   Direktur Komersial PGAS Dilo Seno Widagdo menuturkan, pihaknya memang berharap masih dapat melanjutkan penyaluran gas. Saka Energi berharap masih bisa melanjutkan penyaluran sementara Petronas tidak Kami memperkirakan penyaluran pada Januari atau bulan depan [Februari],” katanya.

Upaya meneruskan kembali penyaluran gas di WK Muriah selaras dengan rencana perbaikan portofolio Saka Energi melalui pengembangan elsplorasi dan eksplokasi di sekitar Blok Muriah “Pada waktu ditutup [penghentian penyaluran] volume akhir 26 mmscfd. Jika dbuka lagi bisa lebih, karena tekanan sudah naik sehingga bisa lebih dari 26 mmscfd," ujar Dilo.

Direktur Utama PGAS Gigih Prakoso bilang upaya memperbaiki portofolio Saka adalah program utama di tahun ini. 

”Beberapa portofolio tidak produktif sehingga bisa memberikan dampak negatif terhadap kinerja Saka secara keseluruhan,” sebut dia.

Pursue the Target of Oil and Gas Lifting

The realization of oil and gas lifting last year missed the target. During 2019, the realization of oil and gas lifting only reached 90.5 percent or 1.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). 

   In fact, the target in the 2019 State Budget (APBN) reaches 2.025 million BOEPD. This year, the government set oil and gas lifting 1,946 million BOEPD with details of 755 thousand from oil and 1.191 million from gas.

Arifin Tasrif 

Although declining compared to last year, this year's target is considered very high. ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif is optimistic that this year's target will be achieved. He said, Indonesia still had a big opportunity to increase lifting or production-ready to sell oil and gas by working on new fields and developing the existing Work Areas (WK).

"Right now we are working on developing new sources of oil and gas," Arifin said in Jakarta.

Arifin acknowledged natural processes such as amount and time resulted in the decline of oil and gas production in the last decade. The condition was a big task when he was appointed by President Joko Widodo to solve the problem.

"The most important thing is how to increase oil and gas lifting because indeed in recent years our production has declined," he said.

At present, the government has entrusted Pertamina as a state-owned company to manage several WKs whose contracts have ended. Arifin revealed optimism regarding the achievement of the oil and gas lifting target that was seen from the 12 projects targeted to apply this year.

Petronas Carigali Ketapang III Ltd

The 12 projects include, among others, Bukit Tua Pashe-3 by Petronas Carigali Ketapang III Ltd with a production capacity of 31.5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd). 

Blogger Agus Purnomo in Petronas Carigali Ketapang

    Currently, the operator is in the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) stage. The project is scheduled for production in January 2020. Then, there is a Grati Pressure Lowering project undertaken by Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd with a production capacity of 30 mmscfd.

The current stage is the work of the EPC and is scheduled to produce in March 2020. Furthermore, there is a Buntal-5 project that Medco Energy works on and is scheduled to produce in March 2020.

Similar to Bukit Tua Pashe-3, the project was initially listed as onstream last year but was forced to be unable to operate. This happened because the rig for drilling the project did not arrive immediately because it was still used in Vietnam.

In addition, the government plans to implement a number of strategies by providing incentives to oil and gas business entities to accelerate 42 oil and gas field development / POD plans. Next also encourages the use of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology and legalizes the management of old wells by the community even though the production is small.

"Through SKK Migas, the government also opened a One Door Service Policy (ODSP) service to realize the target of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day by 2030," he added.

Kejar Target Lifting Migas

Realisasi lifting migas tahun lalu meleset dari target. Sepanjang 2019, realisasi lifting migas hanya mencapai 90,5 persen atau 1,8 juta barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Padahal, target dalam Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) 2019 mencapai 2,025 juta BOEPD. Tahun ini, pemerintah menetapkan lifting migas 1,946 juta BOEPD dengan perincian 755 ribu dari minyak dan 1,191 juta dari gas. 

Meski menurun dibandingkan tahun lalu, target tahun ini dinilai sangat tinggi. Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif optimistis target tahun ini akan tercapai. Dia menuturkan, Indonesia masih punya peluang besar meningkatkan lifting atau produksi siap jual minyak dan gas bumi dengan mengerjakan ladang baru serta mengembangkan Wilayah Kerja (WK) eksisting.

”Sekarang ini kita sedang mengupayakan supaya ada pengembangan sumber-sumber minyak dan gas baru," kata Arifin di Jakarta.

Arifin mengakui proses alamiah seperti jumlah dan waktu mengakibatkan terjadinya penuruman produksi migas dalam dekade terakhir. Kondisi itu menjadi tugas besar ketika dirinya ditunjuk Presiden Joko Widodo untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut.

"Hal yang paling utama adalah bagaimana bisa meningkatkan lifting migas karena memang dalam beberapa tahun ini produksi kita menurun,” ujarnya.

Saat ini, pemerintah memercayakan kepada Pertamina selaku perusahaan milik negara untuk mengelola beberapa WK yang sudah berakhir masa kontraknya. Arifin mengungkapkan, optimisme terhadap capaian target lifting migas tersebut terlihat dari 12 proyek yang ditargetkan berlaku tahun ini. 

Ke-12 proyek tersebut, antara lain, Bukit Tua Pashe-3 yang dikerjakan Petronas Carigali Ketapang III Ltd dengan kapasitas produksi 31,5 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd). Saat ini operator dalam tahapan pengerjaan engineering, procurement, dan construction (EPC). Proyek tersebut dijadwalkan berproduksi Januari 2020. Kemudian, ada proyek Grati Pressure Lowering yang dikerjakan Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd dengan kapasitas fasilitas produksi 30 mmscfd.

Tahapan saat ini adalah pengerjaan EPC dan dijadwalkan berproduksi pada Maret 2020. Selanjutnya, ada proyek Buntal-5 yang dikerjakan Medco Energi dan dijadwalkan berproduksi pada Maret 2020. 

Sama dengan Bukit Tua Pashe-3, awalnya proyek tersebut masuk daftar onstream tahun lalu, tetapi terpaksa tidak dapat beroperasi. Hal itu terjadi lantaran rig untuk pengeboran proyek tidak segera datang karena masih digunakan di Vietnam. 

Di samping itu, pemerintah berencana menjalankan sejumlah strategi dengan memberikan insentif kepada Badan Usaha (BU) minyak dan gas untuk mempercepat 42 rencana pengembangan/POD lapangan minyak dan gas. Berikutnya juga mendorong penggunaan teknologi Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) serta melegalkan pengelolaan sumur tua oleh masyarakat meski produksinya sedikit.

”Melalui SKK Migas, pemerintah juga membuka layanan One Door Service Policy (ODSP) untuk merealisasikan target produksi minyak 1 juta barel per hari pada 2030,” imbuhnya.

SKK Migas Ensures Oil and Gas Licensing for Only Three Days

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) accelerates and simplifies the upstream oil and gas licensing process to only three days to ensure all oil and gas projects are completed on time. This year, there are 12 oil and gas projects targeted to start operating.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said oil and gas exploration and exploitation activities require several licenses involving more than one agency. Therefore, with the active support of SKK Migas, he is optimistic that there will be no more constraints on licensing in the upstream oil and gas sector and licensing can be completed sooner. 

    The acceleration of this permit can be realized by the inauguration of the One Door Services Policy (ODSP).

"So that the licensing process can be accelerated from the usual 15 days to only three days," he said after inaugurating the ODSP.

Through ODSP, the entire service contract licensing contract (KKKS) licensing process is carried out in one door and the process is also faster. SKK Migas and KKKS jointly conduct research on the completeness of each licensing requirement from various agencies that exist today. 

    Even more than that, SKK Migas will help the KKKS to be able to fulfill the documents that are required for licensing and assist the licensing arrangements in the relevant agencies.

According to Dwi, with the delay in the completion of the upstream oil and gas project due to the ODSR due to the long and time-consuming process of licensing, this will not happen again. This is important considering that if the project is completed on time, the project costs will also not increase greater than agreed upon and implementation is more efficient.

"Because any delays in the upstream oil and gas project will lead to cost escalation. The impact on the government is that state revenue is delayed and not optimal, "he stressed.

He said the ODSP service completes the operation of the Integrated Operation Center (IOC) conducted by his party at the end of last year. He is optimistic that with these two improvements, the upstream oil and gas target this year can be achieved. Because the operation of the IOC and ODSP can overcome several obstacles, including in the field of licensing and data accuracy.

"We have enough time to make improvements if there are obstacles found during the implementation of the WP&B (work plan and budget). We have data to prevent negative events that could hamper upstream oil and gas operations this year, "Dwi explained.

Going forward, he hopes that ODSP services can provide a real and optimal contribution to improving the national oil and gas investment climate. Thus, Indonesia is able to compete with other countries in the region such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as other parts of the world, considering that upstream oil and gas investments are cross-border investments.

"This is the stage we want to build transformation, according to the government's vision and the direction of the Minister (ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif), we must always improve investment in upstream oil and gas. One of them is to pursue the dream of 1 million BPD (barrels per day), "Dwi said.

Vice President Corporate Services of INPEX Masela Ltd. Nico Muhyiddin and ExxonMobil Indonesia's Vice President of Public and Government Affairs Azi N Alam appreciated SKK Migas's steps in implementing ODSP services. - each company.

Azi N Alam

"As we know licensing so far is something that can slow down the project. This step is very appropriate, we hope the problem will be dealt with quickly and appropriately. We hope that the implementation of this program runs well so that the target can be achieved properly, "said Nico.

12 Projects

Meanwhile, SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno said there were 12 oil and gas projects planned to start operating this year. One of the biggest is the Merakes Project undertaken by ENI Indonesia.

"Merakes will be operational in the fourth quarter of this year," he said.

In the Merakes Field, ENI plans to drill six underwater wells and build an underwater pipeline system that will be connected to the floating production unit / FPU Jangkrik facility in the Muara Bakau Block.

The peak production of the Merakes Field is estimated to reach 60,305 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd barrels equivalent). In the first quarter, Julius continued, there were four projects targeted to operate. In particular, Bukit Tua Phase-3 with an estimated production of 31.5 million cubic feet per day / mmscfd by Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd, Grati Pressure Lowering 30 mmscfd by Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd, Buntal-5 45 mmscfd by Medco E&P Natuna Ltd, and the Sembakung Power Plant by PT Pertamina EP.

Furthermore, four projects will operate in the second quarter. In particular, the Scissor Randu Project with an estimated production of 3 mmscfd by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Randu Scissors, a 15 mmscfd Betung Compressor by PT Pertamina EP Malacca Strait Phase-13,000 BPD by EMP Mallacca Strait, and Meliwis 20 mmscfd by Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd . 

     Finally 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 150 mmscfd LP-MP Compressor by PT Pertamina EP and Peciko 8A 8 mmscfd by PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

In 2020, national oil and gas lifting is set at 1.95 million boepd, up slightly from last year's 1.8 million boepd. Specifically, oil production rose to 755 thousand bpd from the realization of 746 thousand bpd, and gas to 1.19 million boepd from the realization of 1.06 million boepd.

SKK Migas Pastikan Perizinan Migas Hanya Tiga Hari

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mempercepat dan mempermudah proses perizinan hulu migas menjadi hanya tiga hari untuk memastikan seluruh proyek migas selesai tepat waktu. Pada tahun ini, terdapat 12 proyek migas yang ditargetkan mulai beroperasi.

Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto menuturkan, kegiatan eksplorasi maupun eksploitasi migas membutuhkan beberapa perizinan yang melibatkan lebih dari satu instansi. Karenanya, dengan dukungan aktif SKK Migas, dia optimistis tidak akan ada lagi kendala perizinan di hulu migas dan perizinan bisa selesai lebih cepat. Percepatan perizinan ini dapat direalisasikan dengan diresmikannya One Door Services Policy (ODSP).

“Sehingga proses perizinan bisa dipercepat dari biasanya 15 hari menjadi hanya tiga hari,” kata dia usai meresmikan ODSP.

Melalui ODSP, seluruh layanan proses perizinan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) dilaksanakan dalam satu pintu dan prosesnya juga lebih cepat. SKK Migas dan KKKS bersama-sama melakukan penelitian atas kelengkapan untuk setiap persyaratan perizinan dari berbagai instansi yang ada saat ini. Bahkan lebih dari itu, SKK Migas akan membantu KKKS untuk dapat memenuhi dokumen yang menjadi persyaratan perizinan serta mendampingi pengurusan perizinan di instansi terkait.  

Menurut Dwi, dengan adanya ODSR keterlambatan penyelesaian proyek hulu migas karena hambatan proses perizinan yang lama dan menghabiskan waktu, tidak akan terjadi lagi. Hal ini penting mengingat jika proyek selesai tepat waktu, maka biaya proyek juga tidak akan bertambah lebih besar dari yang telah disetujui dan pelaksanaan lebih efisien.

“Karena setiap keterlambatan proyek hulu migas akan menimbulkan ekskalasi biaya. Dampak bagi pemerintah adalah penerimaan negara tertunda dan tidak optimal,” tegas dia.

Layanan ODSP disebutnya melengkapi pengoperasian Integrated Operation Center (IOC) yang dilakukan pihaknya pada akhir tahun lalu. Dia optimis dengan dua perbaikan ini, target hulu migas pada tahun ini dapat tercapai. Pasalnya, beroperasinya IOC dan ODSP dapat menyelesaikan beberapa hambatan, antara lain di bidang perizinan dan akurasi data.

“Kami memiliki cukup waktu untuk melakukan perbaikan jika ada kendala yang ditemukan saat implementasi WP&B (work plan and budget/rencana kerja dan anggaran). Kami memiliki data untuk mencegah kejadian negatif yang dapat menghambat operasional hulu migas di tahun ini,” jelas Dwi.

Ke depannya, pihaknya berharap layanan ODSP dapat memberikan kontribusi yang nyata dan optimal untuk meningkatkan iklim investasi minyak dan gas nasional. Sehingga, Indonesia mampu bersaing dengan negara-negara lain di kawasan seperti Malaysia, Thailand dan Vietnam, maupun belahan dunia lainnya, mengingat investasi hulu minyak dan gas adalah investasi lintas negara.

“Ini tahapan kami ingin membangun transformasi, sesuai visi pemerintah dan arahan Pak Menteri (Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif) , kami harus selalu memperbaiki investasi di hulu migas. Salah satunya untuk mengejar mimpi 1 juta bph (barel per hari) ,” tutur Dwi.

Vice President Corporate Services INPEX Masela Ltd Nico Muhyiddin dan Vice President Public and Government Affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam mengapresiasi langkah SKK Migas menerapkan layanan ODSP Kedua perusahaan ini sudah secara langsung merasakan manfaat ODSP ketika mengurus analisi dampak lingkungan (Amdal) proyek migas yang digarap masing-masing perusahaan.

“Seperti diketahui perizinan selama ini merupakan hal yang dapat memperlambat proyek. Langkah ini sangat tepat, harapan kami permasalahan akan ditangani dengan cepat dan tepat. Kami harapkan implementasi program ini berjalan dengan baik sehingga target yang dituju bisa dicapai dengan benar,” ujar Nico.

12 Proyek

Sementara itu, Deputi Operasi SKK Migas Julius Wiratno mengatakan, terdapat 12 proyek migas yang direncanakan mulai beroperasi pada tahun ini. Salah satu yang paling besar adalah Proyek Merakes yang dikerjakan ENI Indonesia.

“Merakes akan beroperasi pada kuartal keempat tahun ini,” ujarnya.

Di Lapangan Merakes, ENI rencananya akan mengebor enam sumur bawah laut serta membangun sistem pipa bawah laut yang akan terhubung dengan fasilitas floating production unit/FPU Jangkrik di Blok Muara Bakau. 

Puncak produksi Lapangan Merakes diperkirakan bisa mencapai 60.305 barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/ boepd). Pada kuartal pertama, Julius melanjutkan, terdapat empat proyek yang ditargetkan beroperasi. 

     Rincinya, Bukit Tua Phase-3 dengan estimasi produksi 31,5 juta kaki kubik per hari/ mmscfd oleh Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd, Grati Pressure Lowering 30 mmscfd oleh Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd, Buntal-5 45 mmscfd oleh Medco E&P Natuna Ltd, dan Sembakung Power Plant oleh PT Pertamina EP.

Selanjutnya, empat proyek akan beroperasi di kuartal kedua. Rincinya, Proyek Randu Gunting dengan perkiraan produksi 3 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Randu Gunting, Kompresor Betung 15 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina EP Malacca Strait Phase-13.000 bph oleh EMP Mallacca Strait, serta Meliwis 20 mmscfd oleh Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd. 

      Terakhir di kuartal ketiga 2020 terdapat tiga proyek migas yang dijadwalkan beroperasi. Ketiga proyek ini adalah Proyek Cantik 2,4 mmscfd oleh PT Sele Raya Belida, Kompresor LP-MP SKG-19 150 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina ER serta Peciko 8A 8 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

Pada 2020, lifting migas nasional ditetapkan 1,95 juta boepd, naik sedikit dari realisasi tahun lalu 1,8 juta boepd. Rincinya, produksi minyak naik menjadi 755 ribu bph dari realisasi 746 ribu bph, serta gas menjadi 1,19 juta boepd dari realisasi 1,06 juta boepd.
