Rosneft Akuisisi Kilang Minyak Essar Oil

    Perusahaan minyak Rusia, Rosneft, kian ekspansif. Terbaru, Rosneft membeli kilang minyak Essar Oil. Rosfnet setuju perusahaan kilang minyak asal India seharga US$ 13 miliar. Selain Rosneft, kilang minyak milik Essar juga diminati Saudi Aramco. Namun raksasa minyak asal Rusia itu yang memenangkannya karena berani membayar dua kali lipat dari nilai Essar.

    Sebelumnya, valuasi Essar diperkirakan mencapai US$ 5,7 miliar. Belakangan, Rosneft bersedia membayar US$ 13 miliar dan menjadi nilai akuisisi terbesar yang pernah terjadi antara perusahaan India dan Rusia. Chief Executive Ojjicer (CEO) Rosneft Igor Sechin memang tengah getol memburu aset penyulingan minyak. Ia ingin cadangan minyak Rusia aman.

    Sejatinya proses pembelian kilang minyak Essar sudah berlangsung lama. Sechin telah memulai pembicaraan sejak 2014 untuk membeli 49% saham Essar dari pemiliknya, kakak adik Ravi dan Shashi Ruia. September 2015 lalu, Sechin melakukan perjalanan ke India untuk bertemu pemilik Essar. Pada kesempatan itu, ia menegaskan keinginan Rosneft membeli kilang minyak Essar.

    Sang pesaing, Saudi Aramco yang juga meminati kilang minyak milik Essar mengajukan penawaran senilai US$ 9 miliar. Pada akhirnya, Essar memilih Rosneft. Namun, Reuters menyebut, dibalik kemenangan Rosneft ada sedikit ancaman. Menurut dia, jika Essar menolak pinangan Rosfnet, maka India akan kehilangan dukungan keuangan dan pasokan minyak dari Rusia.

    Rosfnet, Essar dan Saudi Aramco menolak mengomentari soal akuisisi kilang minyak tersebut. Keberhasilan Rosfnet tidak lepas dari campur tangan Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin. Putin telah bernegosiasi dengan Perdana Menteri India Narendra Modi. Keduanya pertama kali membahas rencana tersebut sejak Mei 2014 di sela-sela acara forum ekonomi St Petersburg di Rusia.

    Bagi Rusia, kesepakatan dengan India menjadi tonggak penting dalam membangun kerajaan minyak dunia. Meskipun Rusia saat ini tengah menghadapi sanksi atas tindakannya di Ukraina. Kesepakatan itu juga menandai persaingan dengan Arab Saudi sebagai negara eksportir minyak mentah terbesar di dunia.

    Sedangkan bagi India kesepakatan ini akan mengurangi utang India sebesar US$ 140 miliar dan memberi peluang ekspansi bagi Essar. Para pejabat di kantor Modi menolak berkomentar soal ini. Juru bicara Putin, Dmitry Peskov membantah ada intervensi dari Putin. Ia mengakui pemerintah akan membela kepentingan perusahaan Rusia. Ia menegaskan soal pembelian kilang Essar tidak ada perintah dari Putin.

The acquisition of Essar Oil Refinery Rosneft Oil

    Russian oil company, Rosneft, increasingly expansive. The latest, Rosneft bought the oil refinery Essar Oil. Rosfnet agree refiner Indian origin for US $ 13 billion. In addition to Rosneft, an oil refinery Essar-owned Saudi Aramco is also in great demand. However, the Russian oil giant that won it for daring to pay twice the value of Essar.

    Previously, the valuation of Essar is expected to reach US $ 5.7 billion. Later, Rosneft is willing to pay US $ 13 billion and be the largest ever acquisition value between companies of India and Russia. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rosneft Igor Sechin is keen to hunt oil refining assets. He wants to secure Russia's oil reserves.

    Indeed the process of purchasing Essar's refinery has lasted a long time. Sechin has begun talks since 2014 to buy a 49% stake in Essar from their owners, brothers Ravi and Shashi Ruia. September 2015 and then, Sechin traveled to India to meet the owners Essar. On that occasion, he stressed the desire to buy Rosneft oil refinery Essar.

    The competitors, who are also interested in the Saudi Aramco oil refinery belonging to the Essar bid worth US $ 9 billion. In the end, Essar chose Rosneft. However, Reuters said, behind Rosneft victory there is little threat. According to him, if Essar rejected the proposal Rosfnet, then India will lose the financial support and oil supplies from Russia.

    Rosfnet, Essar and Saudi Aramco declined to comment on the acquisition of the oil refinery. Rosfnet success can not be separated from the interference of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin has negotiated with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two first discuss the plan since May 2014 on the sidelines of the St Petersburg economic forum in Russia.

    For Russia, the deal with India was an important milestone in building the world's oil empire. Although Russia is currently facing sanctions over its actions in Ukraine. The deal also marked the competition with Saudi Arabia as the country's largest crude oil exporter in the world.

    While for India this deal will reduce India's debt amounted to US $ 140 billion and provides expansion opportunities for Essar. Officials at Modi's office declined to comment about this. Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov denied any intervention from Putin. He acknowledged the government will defend the interests of Russian companies. He asserted over purchasing Essar refinery no orders from Putin.

Pembeli Gas dari Domestik Masih Minim

    Lantaran penyerapan produksi gas dalam negeri masih belum maksimal, sejumlah produksi gas terpaksa diekspor karena belum mendapat pembeli domestik. Berdasarkan data Direktorat Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Kementerian ESDM, tahun depan sebanyak 63 kargo LNG dari Bontang dan Tangguh (1 kargo=137.700 meter kubik) belum terserap pasar karena terjadi kelebihan produksi gas dari dalam negeri. Pada tahun 2018 diproyeksikan terdapat 60 kargo LNG yang belum terserap.

    Salah satu produksi gas yang belum terserap berasal dari lapangan Jangkrik yang akan mulai berproduksi pada tahun depan. Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM IGN Wiratmaja Puja menyebutkan sejauh ini produksi gas dari tranche C lapangan Jangkrik belum mendapatkan pembeli. Tranche C itu diizinkan untuk diekspor karena tidak terserap dalam negeri. Jadi ada yang dari luar negeri(pembelinya). Produksi gas dari tranche A dan tranche B dari lapangan Jangkrik sudah dibeli PT Pertamina dan PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara.

Sebelumnya, target lapangan Jangkrik dengan ENI sebagai operator itu, mencapai puncak produksi hingga 450 mmscfd. Pertamina telah melakukan perjanjian jual beli gas (PJBG) pada pertengahan tahun lalu, dengan membeli gas sebanyak 1,4 juta ton per tahun mulai dari tahun 2017 Selama tujuh tahun. Total nilai transaksi tersebut mencapai US$ 4,4 miliar.

Buyers of  Domestic Gas Still Lacking
    Because the absorption of domestic gas production is not maximized, a forced gas production is exported because it has not got a domestic buyer. Based on data from the Directorate General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy, the next year as many as 63 cargoes of LNG from Bontang and Tangguh (1 cubic meter cargo = 137 700) has not been absorbed by the market due to an excess production of domestic gas. In 2018 the projected there are 60 LNG cargoes that have not been absorbed.

    One that has not been absorbed gas production comes from Jangkrik field will start production next year. Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources IGN Wiratmaja Puja mention so far of tranche C gas production field crickets have not found a buyer. Tranche C was allowed to be exported because it is not absorbed domestically. So there were from abroad (the buyers). Gas production from the tranche A and tranche B of field crickets have been purchased PT Pertamina and PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara.

    Previously, the target field Jangkrik with ENI as the operator, reaching peak production of up to 450 MMSCFD. Pertamina has done a gas sales agreement (GSA) in the middle of last year, with the purchase of 1.4 million tons of gas per year starting from 2017 for seven years. The total transaction value reached US $ 4.4 billion.

Produksi Migas Nasional Meningkat

    Menurunnya gangguan keamanan di daerah operasi hulu minyak dan gas bumi, atau migas menjadi salah satu faktor meningkatnya produksi migas nasional. Bahkan, produksi migas tahun ini sudah melampaui target yang dipatok dalam Angaran Pendapatan Belanja Negara. Produksi migas 2016 ini telah mencapai target 830 ribu barrel per hari. Begitu juga dengan lifting saat ini, sudah mencapai 820 ribu barel per hari. Selain itu, kenaikan jumlah tersebut juga dipengaruhi suplai dari Banyu Urip, kata Wakil Kepala SKK Migas, Zikrullah. Dia mengatakan, faktor keamanan nasional.

    Hingga hari ini gangguan keamanan yang terjadi di daerah operasi hulu migas sudah menurun. Berdasarkan data dari SKK Migas hingga Oktober 2016, tercatat 893 kasus gangguan yang meliputi pencurian peralatan, pencurian minyak, penutupan jalan, penghentian operasi, hingga demonstrasi. Jumlah tersebut menurun signifkan dibandingkan periode 2015 yang terjadi 1.720 kasus. Penurunan gangguan keamanan tersebut, hasil dari kerja sama dengan pihak keamanan seperti Polri, TNI AD, TNI AL, TNI AU, dan pihak lainnya. Dengan menurunnya jumlah gangguan keamanan, menjadi salah satu faktor dari meningkatnya jumlah produksi migas. Bahkan, hingga hari ini jumlah produksi migas telah berhasil melebihi target Aanggaran Pendapatan Belanja Negara.

National Oil and Gas Production Increase

    The reduced security problems in the area of ​​operation of upstream oil and gas, or oil and gas become one of the factors increasing oil and gas production nationwide. In fact, oil and gas production this year has exceeded the targets set in the State Revenues and Expenditures Budgets. Oil and gas production in 2016 has reached the target of 830 thousand barrels per day. So also with the lifting today, has reached 820 thousand barrels per day. In addition, the rise is also influenced by the supply of Banyu Urip, said Deputy Head of SKK Migas, Zikrullah. He said national security factors.

    To this day to disturbances in the upstream oil and gas operations has decreased. Based on data from SKK Migas until October 2016, there were 893 cases of disorders that include theft of equipment, oil theft, road closures, shutdowns, until the demonstration. That number decreased significantly the comparison period in 2015 which occurred 1,720 cases. Decrease the security problems, the result of cooperation with the security forces such as the Police, Army, Navy, Air Force, and other parties. By decreasing the amount of a security breach, one of the factors of the increasing number of oil and gas production. In fact, until today, the number of oil and gas production has managed to exceed the target of the state budget.

50% LNG from Jangkrik Field for Domestic Needs

    

    About 50% of gas production and the Jangkrik field, Muara Bakau Block located in the Makassar Strait will be used for domestic industrial needs. The gas field, which is operated by Eni Muara Bakau B.V, will start operating next year.

ENI

    Director-General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), IGN Wiratmaja Puja, said that the Jangkrik Field project has secured a gas buyer. About 50% of the gas from the Jangkrik Field will be purchased by industries in Indonesia. Eni as the operator targets the peak production in the oil and gas block to reach 450 MMscfd.

    PT Pertamina is one of the buyers of gas from the Jangkirk field with a volume of 1.4 million tons per year until 2024 with a total transaction value of US $ 4.4 billion. Wiratmaja explained that Pertamina would use the gas to generate electricity. 

the Jangkirk field

    The government, he said, allowed Eni to export about 50% of the gas from the Jangkirk Field because the domestic market was no longer able to absorb it. To date, there are 63 cargoes of liquefied natural gas / LNG that have not been absorbed in 2017. Some of these cargoes are in the process of negotiation.

    He hopes that countries that have been the main consumers of gas from Indonesia, such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, will buy the gas. However, the government will not shut out other countries' interest in buying LNG from Indonesia. The performance of several gas fields is very good, so the gas cargo that has not been contracted is very large. However, it is not supported by adequate regasification infrastructure (facilities for converting LNG to natural gas).

    Wiratmaja is reluctant to mention that the gas fields that contribute to production are very high. Meanwhile, LNG needs, especially for domestic power plants, have been met. Based on data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the volume of LNG that has not been contracted in 2018 is 60 cargoes. However, the government projects that starting in 2019, Indonesia will need a supply of 27 LNG cargoes from abroad. In fact, LNG imports will increase in 2024 to 90 cargoes and 101 cargoes in 2025 due to increased domestic demand.

The Masela Block

    This is because the gas supply from the Abadi Field, Masela Block has not been calculated. In addition, LNG supply from the Tangguh Refinery has also decreased. Therefore, the government has not made a decision to import LNG in 2019. Previously, the Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Amien Sunaryadi said there were four new projects in 2017.

Industry Calls For Swift Implementation of New Gas Prices

    Gas-consuming industries are looking forward to the implementation oflower gas prices for three new sectors starting January and hope more sectors can enjoy similar pricing mechanisms soon after. The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry recently announced that the fertilizer, steel and petrochemical sectors would enjoy lower gas prices in January, but details of the new prices have not been disclosed yet. Lower prices will be beneficial for the three sectors as gas consumption accounts for up to 70 percent of their total production costs.

    Seven other sectors are also expected to soon enjoy similar lower prices, namely pulp and paper, ceramics, glass, food and beverages, tires and latex, oleochemicals, and textiles and footwear. Gas related costs amount to between 7 percent and 32 percent of total production costs for these seven sectors. At present, the gas prices in lndonesia are among the highest in Southeast Asia at $8 to $16 per mmbtu, Whereas they hover at US$ 3.50 to $7.50 per mmbtu in neighboring countries, data from the lndustry Ministry shows.

    Indonesian Iron and Steel lndustry Association (IISIA) executive director Hidayat Triseputro said business players hoped to see the plan realized on time after it had been long delayed. Upstream iron and steel businesses which consume more gas than their downstream counterparts hope to see the new price set below $5 per mmbtu, While the downstream businesses say they Want it not to exceed $5 per mmbtu. The iron and steel sector, which has been facing tough competition against imported steel from China, has seen its productivity fall to 63 percent of capacity.

    It claims the high competition has also hampered its performance on the international market, resulting in a trade deficit of $7.2 billion in 2014, according to the IISIA. The tire and latex sector has also asked for a maximum price of $5 per mmbtu in order to increase competitiveness in the industry especially for export-oriented tire businesses. The government has long wanted to reduce gas prices to boost income tax through improved industrial productivity.

    The economic benefits of lower gas prices could amount to Rp 32 trillion (US$2L4 billion) if the prices were cut to $4 per mmbtu, with an additional distribution and transmission cost of $1.50 to $2, said Industry Minister Airlangga Hartato. The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry has proposed various ways of lowering the prices, including by cutting non-tax and tax revenues from the upstream gas sector that will bring down the prices to around $3.82 per mmbtu, but at the cost of $1.26 billion of state losses per year.

    The National Energy Board (DEN) has also submitted several recommendations to the government to help resolve the issues surrounding high gas prices. DEN member Andang Bachtiar said one of the suggestions was a trade-off between the government and oil and gas contractors that would allow an automatic extension of their production-sharing contracts in exchange for cheaper gas prices in the upstream sector. The trade-off would most likely only apply to mature fields as they have already obtained profit returns.

Harga Gas Alam Makin Panas

    Prediksi cuaca dan laporan kenaikan permintaan jadi pendongkrak utama harga gas alam. Analis pun optimistis hingga akhir tahun, harga masih bisa terus naik hingga US$ 3,50 per mmbtu. Mengutip Bloomberg, Selasa (15/11) pukul 15.45 WIB, harga gas alam kontrak pengiriman Desember 2016 di New York Mercantile Exchange naik 2,18% dibandingkan harga Senin menjadi US$ 2,80 per mmbtu. Dalam Sepekan terakhir, harga melesat 6,46%. Data Energy Information Administration (EIA) menunjukkan, permintaan gas di Amerika Serikat (AS) Oktober 2016 naik 2,2 miliar kaki kubik menjadi 71,4 miliar kaki kubik dibanding Oktober 2015.

    The Weather Company memprediksi, suhu udara dingin akan menyelimuti mayoritas Wilayah timur AS hingga pekan depan. Dengan suhu udara yang dingin, kebutuhan akan gas alam bisa terus meningkat. Keadaan ini mendukung aksi beli pelaku pasar. Apalagi akhir pekan lalu harga gas alam sempat terpuruk ke level terendah sejak Maret 2016. Alhasil, terjadi aksi bargain hunting yang mendukung kenaikan harga. Hanya saja sentimen negatif tetap mengintai harga gas alam.

    Pasalnya, EIA melaporkan stok mingguan AS naik 54 miliar menjadi 4,01 triliun kaki kubik dibanding pekan sebelumnya. Ini pula yang membuat Andri memprediksi hari ini (16/11) harga gas alam berpotensi turun. Apalagi, beberapa meteorologist di AS memprediksi masih ada indikasi suhu udara hangat di sekitar 48 negara bagian AS hingga akhir bulan ini.

    Artinya kenaikan permintaan mungkin belum setinggi harapan pasar, karena masih dibayangi juga oleh cuaca panas. Rencana Presiden AS Donald Trump yang akan menggiatkan aktivitas tambang batubara turut menjadi sentimen negatif pada harga gas alam. Meski demikian, ini belum tentu terealisasi. Andri optimistis hingga akhir 2016 harga gas alam berpotensi naik. Bisa mencapai US$ 3,50 per mmbtu. Dari sisi teknikal, harga saat ini bergerak di bawah moving average (MA) 50 dan MA 100 tapi sudah ada di atas MA 200, sehingga potensi koreksi hanya akan sementara.

    Indikator relative strength index (RSI) yang di atas level 50 juga mendukung naik. Stochastic dan garis moving average convergence divergence (MACD) berada di area negatif yang mendukung penurunan. Andri memprediksi harga gas alam hari ini bergerak dikisaran US$ 2,60-US$ 2,90 per mmbtu. Sepekan ke depan, harga bergerak di kisaran US$ 2,50-US$ 3,00 per mmbtu.

Natural Gas Prices Getting Heat

    Weather predictions and report a rise in demand so the main booster of natural gas prices. Analysts also optimistic until the end of the year, prices could still continue to rise to US $ 3.50 per mmbtu. According to Bloomberg, Tuesday (15/11) at 15:45 pm, the price of natural gas delivery contract in December 2016 at the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 2.18% compared to prices on Monday to US $ 2.80 per mmbtu. In Last week, the price shot of 6.46%. Data Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed that gas demand in the United States (US) in October 2016 increased 2.2 billion cubic feet to 71.4 billion cubic feet compared to October 2015.

    The Weather Company predicts, the cold temperatures will cover the majority of the US eastern region until next week. With the cold temperatures, the need for natural gas could continue to rise. This situation supports buying market participants. Moreover, last week natural gas prices had slumped to its lowest level since March 2016. As a result, going bargain hunting, which support the price increase. Only negative sentiment still lurk in natural gas prices.

    Because the EIA reported US weekly stocks rose 54 billion cubic feet to 4.01 trillion compared to the previous week. It also makes Andri predict today (16/11) in natural gas prices may drop. Moreover, some meteorologists in the US predict there are indications warm air temperatures around 48 US states until the end of this month.

    This means that the increase in demand may not have as high expectations of the market, because it is still overshadowed by the weather too hot. US President Donald Trump plans that will invigorate the coal mining activities have contributed to the negative sentiment on the price of natural gas. However, this is not necessarily realized. Andri optimistic until the end of 2016 the price of natural gas has the potential to rise. Could reach US $ 3.50 per mmbtu. From the technical side, the current price is moving below the moving average (MA) 50 and MA 100 but is already on top of the 200, so that the potential correction would be only temporary.

    Indicators relative strength index (RSI) is at the top level 50 also supports the ride. Stochastic and the line moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is in the negative area that supports the decline. Andri predict natural gas prices today moved the range of US $ 2.60-US $ 2.90 per mmbtu. The next week, the price moves in the range of US $ 2.50-US $ 3.00 per mmbtu.

Efek Pengganda Gas Harus Tinggi

    Perintah Presiden Joko Widodo agar harga gas industri bisa diturunkan belum bisa diaplikasikan untuk sepuluh jenis industri. Sejumlah kementerian masih membahas cara merealisasikan harga gas maksimal USD 6 per mmbtu. Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar menyatakan, negara sudah merelakan bagiannya untuk menurunkan harga gas. Industri yang mendapat insentif harus memberikan kontribusi kepada perekonomian negara. Ketiga industri yang dipastikan menikmati harga gas murah adalah pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja.

    Industri lain yang insentifnya sedang digodok adalah keramik, kaca, oleochemical, sarung tangan karet, pulp dan kertas, makanan dan minuman, tekstil dan alas kaki, serta farmasi. Arcandra mengungkapkan, industri yang mendapatkan harga gas murah harus memberikan efek ekonomi yang besar. Misalnya, kontribusi pajak, pertumbuhan ekonomi, dan penciptaan lapangan kerja.

    Jika keinginan Kementerian ESDM seperti itu, wajar jika industri-pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja diprioritaskan. Sebab, ketiga indutri membutuhkan gas sebagai bahan baku lebih dari 50 persen. Bahkan, kebutuhan gas industri pupuk dikabarkan mencapai 70 persen. Contoh klasiknya, murahnya harga pupuk berdampak pada peningkatan ketahanan pangan. Anggota Dewan Energi Nasional (DEN) Abadi Poernomo menambahkan, harga gas murah memang diberikan kepada industri tertentu.

    Terutama yang lapar gas sebagai bahan baku produksi. Usul, Kementerian Perindustrian juga menyebut bahwa gas murah ditujukan bagi  industri yang menjadikan gas sebagai bahan bakar. DEN mendukung penurunan harga gas. Namun, perencanaan penurunan itu diminta tetap meninjau hal pokok seperti transparansi dari hulu ke hilir dan mata rantai.
