Pertamina Encouraged to Complete the Land Constraints in Tuban Refinery

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) ordered PT Pertamina (Persero) to send a team to solve the problem of land acquisition which is the location of the 300 thousand barrel per day (bpd) refinery project in Tuban, East Java. Tuban is considered the most strategic location to build refineries. ESDM Minister Ignasius Jonan said the government had determined the location of the construction of this new refinery in Tuban, East Java.

Location determination in Tuban has gone through comprehensive studies and considerations, both location, topography, and consideration of earth studies. Tuban is histologically a minimal area affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.

"But for the past few years we have received reports of problems with land acquisition that are not easy," he said in his official statement on Wednesday (11/14).

For this reason, his party ordered Pertamina to send a team back to resolve the land problem. It wants the issue of land acquisition to be completed soon.

Pertamina's Managing Director Nicke Widyawati

"Try Mrs. Nicke (Managing Director, Pertamina) to send the team again, try checking again, if possible quickly. If it cannot be resolved, it is forced to move locations construction of the refinery, "continued Jonan.

Pertamina's Managing Director Nicke Widyawati admitted that land acquisition needed for the construction of an 800-hectare refinery was still an obstacle. At the location of the plan to be built by the refinery, there is 350 hectares of land belonging to the Ministry of Environment, while the rest belongs to the community. He said, in the past three years, his party had made various efforts to complete the land acquisition.

"To follow up on the request of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Pertamina will send a team to complete the release, so in this month we will send another team to solve this land problem," Nicke explained.

In fact, previously Pertamina and the East Java Provincial Government had previously signed a memorandum of understanding on the use of land assets of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in Tanjung Awar-Awar, Tuban, East Java.

In the memorandum of understanding, the East Java Provincial Government supports the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's land use for the construction of the Tuban Refinery.

Nicke added, Pertamina was very eager to build a refinery in Tuban because at that location there was a Petrochemical Complex so that it could be integrated. The planned construction of the refinery in Tuban has been planned since 2016.

"The government wants the refinery to be built to reduce imports of fuel oil to cover the needs of consumers in the country, so we cannot wait anymore. We will immediately do another discussion with the Regional Government here so that a decision can be taken immediately, "She continued.

Previously, Deputy Minister of ESDM Arcandra Tahar said that Pertamina had reported that the Tubah Refinery Project could potentially be moved to Situbondo. But this is difficult because the location is close to a military training ground. In addition, there are other considerations in doing so location study in Situbondo. Another study took the Geological Agency regarding potential hazards because Situbondo was close to Mount Ijen.

Ijen Mount, Banuwangi - East Java

He said, there were other locations which were the options of the Tuban refinery. It's just that he still doesn't want to say his location. He was also reluctant to approve his location in the East Java area. "There are (other alternatives)," he said.

As is known, Pertamina cooperates with oil and gas companies from Russia, Rosneft Oil Company in working on the Tuban Refinery. The two companies have formed a joint venture, namely PT Pertamina Rosneft Processing and Petrochemicals (PRPP), which will work on the Tuban Refinery Project worth US $ 15 billion. Pertamina holds a 55% shareholding and Rosneft 45%.

The plan, Tuban Refinery will produce gasoline (gasoline) products of 80 thousand bpd, solar 90 thousand bpd, and 26 thousand bp avtur. Not only that, Tuban Refinery will also produce new petrochemical products. The details of this product are 1.3 million tons of polypropylene per year, polyethylene 0.65 million tons per year, styrene 0.5 million tons per year and paraxylene 1.3 million tons per year.

In addition to increasing the supply of fuel and petrochemicals, the Tuban Refinery Project is also planned to be able to absorb 20 thousand to 40 thousand workers during construction and 2,000 workers after operating. This project will also have a positive chain effect, in the form of taxes for the government and economic growth of national and regional communities.

Pertamina Didorong Selesaikan Kendala Lahan Kilang Tuban

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) memerintahkan PT Pertamina (Persero) untuk mengirim tim untuk menyelesaikan masalah pembebasan lahan yang menjadi lokasi proyek kilang 300 ribu barel per hari (bph) di Tuban, Jawa Timur. Tuban dinilai sebagai lokasi paling strategis untuk membangun kilang. Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan mengatakan, pemerintah telah menentukan lokasi pembangunan kilang baru ini di Tuban, Jawa Timur.

Penentuan lokasi di Tuban tersebut sudah melalui kajian dan pertimbangan yang menyeluruh, baik lokasi, topografi, dan pertimbangan studi kebumian. Tuban secara histons merupakan daerah yang minim terkena bencana alam seperti gempa dan tsunami.

“Namun sudah beberapa tahun ini kami mendapat laporan masalah pembebasan lahan yang tidak mudah,” kata dia dalam keterangan resminya, Rabu (14/ 11).

Untuk itu, pihaknya memerintahkan Pertamina untuk mengirimkan tim kembali untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan lahan tersebut. Pihaknya ingin agar masalah pembebasan lahan ini segera rampung. 

“Coba Ibu Nicke (Direktur Utama, Pertamina) kirim tim lagi, coba dicek lagi, kalau bisa cepat. Jika tidak bisa diselesaikan, terpaksa harus pindah lokasi pembangunan kilangnya,” lanjut Jonan.

Direktur Utama Pertamina Nicke Widyawati mengakui, pembebasan lahan yang dibutuhkan untuk pembangunan kilang seluas 800 hektar masih menjadi kendala. Di lokasi rencana yang akan dibangun kilang, ada lahan milik Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup seluas 350 hektar, sementara sisanya milik masyarakat. Dikatakannya, dalam tiga tahun terakhir, pihaknya sudah melakukan berbagai upaya untuk merampungkan pembebasan lahan ini.

“Untuk menindaklanjuti permintaan Menteri ESDM agar Pertamina kembali mengirimkan tim untuk menyelesaikan pembebasan Iahan, maka dalam bulan ini segera kami akan kirim tim lagi untuk menyelesaikan masalah lahan ini,” jelas Nicke.

Padahal, sebelumnya Pertamina dan Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur sebelumnya telah menandatangani nota kesepahaman pemanfaatan lahan aset Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan di Tanjung Awar-Awar, Tuban Jawa Timur.

Dalam nota kesepahaman itu, Pemprov Jawa Timur mendukung pemanfaatan lahan Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan untuk pembangunan Kilang Tuban. 

Nicke menambahkan, Pertamina sangat berkeinginan untuk membangun kilang di Tuban karena di lokasi tersebut sudah ada Kompleks Petrokimia sehingga dapat diintegrasikan. Rencana pembangunan kilang di Tuban ini sudah direncanakan sejak 2016 lalu. 

“Pemerintah ingin sekali kilang ini dibangun untuk mengurangi impor bahan bakar minyak untuk menutupi kebutuhan konsumen didalam negeri, karena itu kita tidak bisa menunggu lagi. Kami segera lakukan lagi pembahasan dengan Pemerintah Daerah di sini agar dapat segera diambil-keputusan,” lanjut dia.

Sebelumnya, Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar mengatakan, Pertamina sudah melaporkan bahwa Proyek Kilang Tubah berpotensi dipindah ke Situbondo. Namun hal ini sulit dilakukan lantaran lokasi tersebut dekat dengan tempat latihan militer. Selain itu, ada pertimbangan lain dalam melakukan kajian lokasi di Situbondo. Kajian lainnya itu menggandeng Badan Geologi mengenai potensi bahaya lantaran Situbondo dekat dengan Gunung Ijen.

Dikatakannya, ada lokasi lain yang menjadi opsi dari kilang Tuban. Hanya saja dia masih belum mau mengatakan lokasinya. Dia pun enggan menyetujui lokasinya masih di daerah Jawa Timur. “Ada (alternatif lain),” ujarnya.

Seperti diketahui, Pertamina menggandeng perusahaan migas dari Rusia, Rosneft Oil Company dalam mengerjakan Kilang Tuban. Kedua perusahaan itu telah membentuk perusahaan patungan, yakni PT Pertamina Rosneft Pengolahan dan Petrokimia (PRPP), yang akan menggarap Proyek Kilang Tuban senilai US$ 15 miliar. Pertamina memegang kepemilikan saham 55% dan Rosneft 45%.

Rencananya, Kilang Tuban akan menghasilkan produk bensin (gasoline) sebesar 80 ribu bph, solar 90 ribu bph, dan avtur 26 ribu bph. Tidak hanya itu, Kilang Tuban juga akan memproduksi produk-produk baru petrokimia. Rincian produk ini adalah polipropilen 1,3 juta ton per tahun, polietilen 0,65 juta ton per tahun, stirena 0,5 juta ton per tahun dan paraksilen 1,3 juta ton per tahun.

Selain menambah pasokan BBM dan petrokimia, Proyek Kilang Tuban juga direncanakan bisa menyerap 20 ribu hingga 40 ribu tenaga kerja saat konstruksi dan 2.000 tenaga kerja setelah beroperasi. Proyek ini juga akan memberikan dampak positif berantai, berupa pajak untuk pemerintah dan pertumbuhan ekonomi masyarakat nasional maupun regional.

The Oil Project in Tuban is hampered

The plan is to hold a Russian company

The New Grass Root Refinery [NGRR] Oil Refinery Project, Pertamina's joint venture with Rosneft, a Russian company which is planned to be located in Remen and Mentoso Villages, Jenu Sub-District, Tuban Regency, East Java, its construction cannot be ascertained. The project which is expected to raise the economy in the Tuban region is still hindered by land acquisition.

Russian company

"Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon, because this problem has been going on for three years, but it has not been completed yet related to the acquisition of land owned by residents," said Ignasius Jonan, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM). kit (transfer from BBM to gas) to fishermen.

Jonan further said that the land needed by the two countries' companies was approximately 340 hectares. At that location, government-owned land through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry [KLHK] was only 15 percent, while the remaining approximately 85 hectares still belonged to the residents of Mentoso Village and Remen Village.

In the event the distribution of kit converters on the mangrove beach in Jenu District was also attended by the Regent of Tuban, Fathul Huda, and also the Deputy Regent of Tuban, Noor Nahar Hussein.

"The problem with the constraints of the NGRR oil refinery plan is also our hot topic," he said.

Job offer

In an informal conversation with the Regent Fathul Huda regarding the NGRR refinery, Jonan has proposed several proposals that landowners want to give up some of their land for greater public interest. One of Jonan's proposals to the Regent of Fathul was approaching residents and offering jobs to residents when the oil refinery operated.

"If the problem is land, try to offer it to the land owner's family. They will get the privilege of placing a family to work at Pertamina-Rosneft," Jonan said on the sidelines accompanied by the Regent and Vice Regent of Tuban.

He revealed, this land problem has been going on for a long time, so it needs immediate treatment.

"It's been three years, but the land problem has not yet finished. Hopefully it will be settled, what land owners want to try to accommodate is suggested by Jonan.

Unfortunately, the Regent of Tuban, Fathul Huda, admitted that he had not intensively met with residents, especially landowners who were about to be released.

"So far there has been no request from landowners for refusing to sell their land. To be honest, we do not yet know what the landowners want, we will cover it," promised the regent in these two periods.

Nicke Widyawati

Other Regions.

The President Director of PT Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati who joined the group of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, also participated in responding to the development of oil refinery land which had no immediate solution.

"I hope that the land problem, which has been in place for three years, can be finished, as soon as possible," hoped Nicke.

Asked about the possibility of finding another area for the placement of the NGRR oil refinery, Nicke did not reject the proposal.

"The option to search for other areas exists, but so far we are still reviewing the profits and losses," the executive stressed.

Nicke acknowledged that he could not arbitrarily place an oil refinery somewhere.

"To build an oil refinery, there are a lot of considerations, technical issues, security, etc.," She concluded.

Proyek Minyak di Tuban Terhambat

Rencananya menggandeng perusahaan Rusia

Proyek Kilang Minyak New Grass Root Refinery [NGRR), patungan pertamina dengan Rosneft perusahaan dari Rusia yang rencananya ditempatkan di Desa Remen dan Mentoso, Kecamatan Jenu, Kabupaten Tuban Jawa Timur belum bisa dipastikan pembangunannya. Proyek yang diharapkan akan membangkitkan ekonomi di wilayah Tuban itu sampai sekarang masih terkendala pembebasan lahan. 

"Harapannya masalahnya segera diselesaikan, karena masalah ini sudah berlangsung selama tiga tahun, tapi belum selesai juga terkait pembebasan lahan milik warga," kata' Ignasius Jonan, Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) di sela-sela acara pembagian 200 paker mesin konverter kit (pengalihan dari BBM ke gas) kepada nelayan.

Lebih jauh Jonan menyebutkan lahan yang dibutuhkan perusahaan dua negara tersebut kira-kira kurang lebih 340 hektare. Di lokasi itu, lahan milik pemerintah melalui Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan [KLHK] hanya 15 persen, sedangkan selebihnya sekira 85 hektare masih milik warga Desa Mentoso dan Desa Remen.

Di acara pembagian konverter kit di pantai mangrove di Kecamatan Jenu itu juga dihadiri Bupati Tuban, Fathul Huda, dan juga Wakil Bupati Tuban, Noor Nahar Hussein. 

"Masalah kendala rencana kilang minyak NGRR juga menjadi pembicaraan hangat kami," ungkapnya.

Tawaran Kerja

Dalam bincang informal dengan Bupati Fathul Huda terkait kilang NGRR, Jonan sudah mengajukan beberapa usulan agar pemilik lahan mau menyerahkan sebagian lahannya untuk kepentingan umum yang lebih besar. Salah satu usulan Jonan kepada Bupati Fathul yakni mendekati warga dan menawarkan pekerjaan bagi warga saat kilang minyak beroperasi.

"Kalau masalahnya lahan, coba ditawarkan kepada keluarga pemilik lahan akan mendapat hak istimewa yakni menempatkan seorang keluarga untuk bekerja di Pertamina-Rosneft," kata Jonan disela-sela berjalan didampingi Bupati dan Wabup Tuban.

Dia mengungkap, masalah lahan ini sudah berlangsung lama, sehingga perlu dilakukan penanganan segera. 

"Sudah tiga tahun, tapi belum juga selesai masalah lahan. Harapannya ya dibereskan, apa yang diinginkan pemilik tanah coba diakomodir usul Jonan.

Sayangnya, Bupati Tuban, Fathul Huda mengaku belum intensif bertemu dengan warga, khususnya pemilik lahan yang hendak dibebaskan.

"Selama ini belum ada permintaan dari warga pemilik lahan untuk penolakan menjual tanahnya. Sejujurnya kami belum tahu apa keinginan dari pemilik lahan, akan kita dalami," janji bupati dua periode ini.

Daerah Lain

Direktur Utama PT Pertamina, Nicke Widyawati yang ikut rombongan Menteri ESDM, ikut menanggapi terkait perkembangan lahan kilang minyak yang tidak segera ada solusinya.

"Saya berharap masalah lahan yang sudah tiga tahun ini, bisa selesai, secepatnya," harap Nicke.

Ditanya kemungkinan untuk mencari daerah lain untuk penempatan kilang minyak NGRR, Nicke tidak menampik usulan itu.

"Opsi untuk mencari daerah lain ada, namun sejauh ini masih sedang kami kaji untung dan ruginya," tegas eksekutif yang berhijab.

Diakui Nicke bahwa tidak bisa sembarangan menempatkan kilang minyak ke suatu tempat. 

"Untuk membangun kilang minyak diperlukan banyak pertimbangan, masalah teknis, keamanan dan lain-lain," pungkasnya.

Tuban Refinery Project Potentially Relocated

The government said that PT Pertamina (Persero) was re-evaluating the 300 thousand barrels per day (bpd) project allocation in Tuban, East Java. The project that was carried out with Rosneft Oil Company has the potential to be moved to Situbondo, East Java.

Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar said that his party had summoned Pertamina's management to discuss the continuation of the Tuban Refinery Project. The reason is that the construction of a new refinery with a capacity of 300 thousand bpd is hampered by land problems.

"Pertamina said there was an idea to change locations, in Tuban or Situbondo-East Jwa. Pertamina said that was an option, "he said in Jakarta. Pertamina, he said, is now evaluating location change options.

As is known, Pertamina and the East Java Provincial Government had signed a memorandum of understanding on the use of land assets of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in Tanjung Awar-Awar, Tuban. In the memorandum of understanding, the East Java Provincial Government supports the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's land use for the construction of the Tuban Refinery.

Not only that, the East Java Provincial Government also provided the permits needed for the construction of the refinery, namely permits for the use of space and others in accordance with applicable regulations. Furthermore, Pertamina will replace the 60-hectare land of the Ling Ling Life and Forestry Support.

In addition, the company and partners also reclaim or flatten coastline smoothing and carry out dredging of the vessel's grooves. The Tuban Refinery and its supporting facilities occupy an area of ​​around 404 hectares located in Remen Village, Mentoso, Rawasan, Wadung, and Kaliuntu in Jenu District, Tuban Regency, East Java Province.

Unfortunately, Arcandra did not specify what problems Pertamina faced in completing the land acquisition for the refinery project location. He only mentioned that he would call Pertamina's board of directors again.

"Two weeks ago I called because of land issues. Pertamina again evaluates its location. I'll call again later, "he said.

He said, the government seriously encouraged the construction of new refineries in Indonesia. Because the construction of the refinery is considered more efficient than importing fuel oil (BBM). Arcandra had conveyed his calculation that there was a difference of around 5% between importing processed products and producing fuel oil (BBM) domestically.

He explained, if the price of BBM products with an octane number of 92 in the range of US $ 72-74 per barrel, then there would be a difference of US $ 3.5 per barrel compared to if it produced itself. This price difference can reach US $ 3 million in one day or US $ 1 billion in one year. Thus, the delay in the construction of the refinery will be detrimental to Indonesia.

"We are serious (building refineries). We have facilitated Pertamina, and Pertamina is trying hard, "said Arcandra.

Previously, Pertamina and Rosneft had formed a joint venture, namely PT Pertamina Rosneft Processing and Petrochemicals (PRPP), which would work on the Tuban Refinery Project worth US $ 15 billion. Pertamina holds a 55% shareholding and Rosneft 45%. The plan, Tuban Refinery

will produce gasoline (gasoline) products of 80 thousand bpd, diesel fuel 90 thousand bpd, and avtur 26 thousand bpd.

Not only that, Tuban Refinery will also produce new petrochemical products. The details of this product are 1.3 million tons of polypropylene per year, polyethylene 0.65 million tons per year, styrene 0.5 million tons per year and paraxylene 1 million tons per year.

In addition to adding fuel and petrochemical supplies, the Tuban Refinery Project is also planned to require 20 thousand to 40 thousand workers during construction and 2,000 workers after operating. This project will also have a positive chain effect, in the form of taxes for the government and economic growth of national and regional communities.

Must be a Priority

Energy Observer and Chair of the Indonesian Petroleum Engineering Association (IATMI) Pri Agung Rakhmanto questioned the planned construction of refineries that were not realized even though more than 10 years had passed. The refinery project has so far been assessed as having no progress and no certainty.

"Refineries should be included as a vital national project that should also be a priority of the government," he said.

This includes the construction of the Tuban Refinery. If there are indeed land constraints, the government should help with the settlement, not just handed over to Pertamina. Moreover, so far, the government has succeeded in building other infrastructure projects in various regions.

"Yes, that is just the role of the government in developing the word Pri Agung"

Pri Agung encouraged the government to play a stronger role in the construction of this refinery. This is because the negative impact of the failure to realize the construction of new refineries is very heavy for Indonesia.

"Fuel imports are getting bigger, more burdening the economy, the trade balance deficit, and weakening the rupiah," he explained.

As is known, Pertamina is working on six refinery projects at the same time, new refinery units and increasing the capacity and quality of existing refineries. Construction of two new unit refineries in Tuban-East Java and Bontang-East Kalimantan, as well as repairs to four existing refineries spread across Balongan-West Java; Balikpapan-East Kalimantan; Dumai-Riau; and Cilacap-Central Java. All of these projects are projected to be completed by 2025.

Proyek Kilang Tuban Berpotensi Direlokasi

Pemerintah menyatakan PT Pertamina (Persero) tengah mengevaluasi ulang Iokasi dari Proyek Kilang 300 ribu barel per hari (bph) di Tuban, Jawa Timur. Proyek yang dikerjakan bersama Rosneft Oil Company ini berpotensi dipindah ke Situbondo, Jawa Timur.

Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar mengatakan pihaknya telah memanggil manajemen Pertamina untuk membahas kelanjutan Proyek Kilang Tuban. Pasalnya, proyek pembangunan kilang baru berkapasitas 300 ribu bph itu terkendala masalah lahan.

“Pertamina menyampaikan ada ide mengubah lokasi, di Tuban atau Situbondo-Jwa Timur. Pertamina menyampaikan itu opsi,” kata dia di Jakarta. Pertamina disebutnya kini sedang mengevaluasi opsi perubahan lokasi.

Seperti diketahui, Pertamina dan Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur sebelumnya telah meneken nota kesepahaman pemanfaatan lahan aset Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan di Tanjung Awar-Awar, Tuban. Dalam nota kesepahaman itu, Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur mendukung pemanfaatan lahan Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan untuk pembangunan Kilang Tuban.

Tidak hanya itu, Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Timur juga memberikan izin-izin yang dibutuhkan untuk pengerjaan kilang, yakni izin pemanfaatan ruang dan lainnya sesuai dengan ketentuan yang berlaku. Selanjutnya, Pertamina akan mengganti lahan Kementerian Lingukungan Hidup dan Kehutanan seluas 60 hektar itu.

Selain itu, perseroan dan mitra juga mereklamasi atau meratakan perataan garis pantai dan melaksanakan pengerukan alur kapal. Kilang Tuban beserta fasilitas penunjangnya menempati areal sekitar 404 hektar yang berlokasi di Desa Remen, Mentoso, Rawasan, Wadung, dan Kaliuntu di Kecamatan Jenu, Kabupaten Tuban, Provinsi Jawa Timur.

Sayangnya, Arcandra tidak merinci seperti apa masalah yang dihadapi Pertamina dalam merampungkan pembebasan lahan lokasi proyek kilang tersebut. Dia hanya menyebut pihaknya akan memanggil lagi direksi Pertamina. 

“Dua pekan lalu saya panggil karena masalah lahan. Pertamina lagi evaluasi lagi lokasinya. Nanti saya panggil lagi,” ujarnya.

Dikatakannya, pemerintah serius mendorong pembangunan kilang baru di Indonesia. Pasalnya, membangun kilang dinilainya lebih efisien daripada mengimpor bahan bakar minyak (BBM). Arcandra sempat menyampaikan hitungannya bahwa ada selisih sekitar 5% antara mengimpor produk olahan dan memproduksi Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) di dalam negeri.

Dia menjelaskan, jika harga produk BBM dengan angka oktan 92 di kisaran US$ 72-74 per barel, maka ada selisih US$ 3,5 per barel dibandingkan jika memproduksi sendiri. Selisih harga ini bisa mencapai US$ 3 juta dalam satu hari atau US$ 1 miliar dalam satu tahun. Sehingga, keterlambatan pemban-

gunan kilang akan merugikan bagi Indonesia.

“Kami serius (membangun kilang). Kami sudah fasilitasi Pertamina, dan Pertamina sedang berusaha keras,” tegas Arcandra. 

Sebelumnya, Pertamina dan Rosneft telah membentuk perusahaan patungan, yakni PT Pertamina Rosneft Pengolahan dan Petrokimia (PRPP), yang akan menggarap Proyek Kilang Tuban senilai US$ 15 miliar. Pertamina memegang kepemilikan saham 55% dan Rosneft 45%. Rencananya, Kilang Tuban

akan menghasilkan produk bensin (gasoline) sebesar 80 ribu bph, solar 90 ribu bph, dan avtur 26 ribu bph. 

Tidak hanya itu, Kilang Tuban juga akan memproduksi produk-produk baru petrokimia. Rincian produk ini adalah polipropilen 1,3 juta ton per tahun, polietilen 0,65 juta ton per tahun, stirena 0,5 juta ton per tahun dan paraksilen 1, juta ton per tahun.

Selain menambah pasokan BBM dan petrokimia, Proyek Kilang Tuban juga direncanakan bisa membutuhkan 20 ribu hingga 40 ribu tenaga kerja saat konstruksi dan 2.000 tenaga kerja setelah beroperasi. Proyek ini juga akan memberikan dampak positif berantai, berupa pajak untuk pemerintah dan pertumbuhan ekonomi masyarakat nasional maupun regional.

Harus Jadi Prioritas

Pengamat Energi sekaligus Ketua Ikatan Ahli Teknik Perminyakan Indonesia (IATMI) Pri Agung Rakhmanto mempertanyakan rencana pembangunan kilang yang tidak juga terealisasi meski sudah berlalu 10 tahun lebih. Proyek kilang selama ini dinilainya tidak ada kemajuan dan tidak ada kepastian.

“Kilang semestinya masuk sebagai proyek vital nasional yang seharusnya juga menjadi prioritas pemerintah,” kata dia.

Hal ini termasuk untuk pengerjaan Kilang Tuban. Jika memang ada kendala lahan, pemerintah seharusnya membantu penyelesaiannya, tidak diserahkan kepada Pertamina saja. Apalagi, selama ini pun, pemerintah berhasil membangun proyek infrastruktur lain di berbagai daerah. 

“Ya seperti itu saja peranan pemerintah dalam membangun ujar Pri Agung" 

Pri Agung mendorong pemerintah berperan lebih kuat dalam pembangunan kilang ini. Hal ini mengingat dampak negatif dari tidak kunjung terealisasinya pembangunan kilang baru sangat berat bagi Indonesia.

“Impor BBM semakin besar, semakin memberatkan perekonomian, neraca perdagangan defisit, dan memperlemah Rupiah,” jelasnya.

Seperti diketahui, Pertamina mengerjakan enam proyek kilang sekaligus, kilang unit baru maupun peningkatan kapasitas dan kualitas dari kilang yang ada. Pembangunan dua kilang unit baru di Tuban-Jawa Timur dan Bontang-Kalimantan Timur, serta perbaikan empat kilang eksisting yang tersebar di Balongan-Jawa Barat; Balikpapan-Kalimantan Timur; Dumai-Riau; serta Cilacap-Jawa Tengah. Seluruh proyek ini diproyeksikan akan selesai pada 2025.
