OPEC Usulkan Penurunan Produksi 4,5 %

    Organisasi negara-negara pengekspor minyak atau Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) berencana menggunting produksi minyak sebanyak 4% hingga 4,5%. Pemangkasan ini berlaku untuk seluruh anggota, kecuali Nigeria dan Libya. Tiga orang sumber di OPEC menyatakan kepada Reuters, bahwa hasil pertemuan di Vienna merekomendasikan pemangkasan tersebut. Usulan itu, seperti diberitakan Reuters, Rabu (23/11), akan dibicarakan pada pertemuan tingkat menteri OPEC pada 30 November mendatang.

    Pemangkasan ini akan berdampak pada pengurangan produksi OPEC sebesar 1,2 juta barel per hari. Angka tersebut merupakan hitungan Reuters berdasarkan produksi pada Oktober 2016. Seorang sumber juga mengatakan bahwa delegasi dari Iran, lrak dan Indonesia telah menyatakan keberatan atas rencana tersebut. Pada September 2016 lalu, negara-negara OPEC sebenarnya telah sepakat memangkas produksi minyak menjadi 32,5 juta hingga 33 juta barel per hari. Saat ini, produksi minyak OPEC diperkirakan mencapai 33,64 juta barel per hari.

    Namun sepertinya hambatan akan datang dari Iran dan lrak yang tidak setuju atas usul tersebut. Contohnya Iran yang justru ingin meningkatkan produksi karena gangguan ekonomi yang sempat terjadi pasca sanksi embargo. Iran sendiri telah diminta negara-negara OPEC lain untuk memangkas produksi minyaknya sebesar 4,5%. Saat ini, produksi harian minyak Iran mencapai 4 juta barel. Sementara Irak, telah mendapat rekomendasi banyak pihak agar bisa memangkas produksi sebanyak 200.000 barel per hari.

    Sebanyak 85% sumber pemangkasan produksi berasal dari negara teluk. Namun sampai saat ini pihak Iran belum menyepakatinya, kata seorang sumber Reuters. Arab Saudi dan Negara Teluk lain mengaku siap memangkas produksi hingga berjumlah total 1 juta barel per hari. Ketiadaan dukungan dari Irak dan Iran, menurut sumber tersebut, akan membuat rumit upaya OPEC menyeimbangkan jumlah pasokan dan permintaan. Ujung-ujungnya, harga minyak pun sulit di angkat naik ke harga normal.

    Sebelumnya Menteri Energi Aljazair, Noureddine Boutarfa menyatakan keyakinannya terhadap kesuksesan rencana pemangkasan produksi minyak OPEC tersebut. Hal tersebut diungkapkan Boutarfa pasca bertemu dengan Menteri Energi Rusia Alexander Novak, yang menegaskan Rusia mempertimbangkan pembekuan produksi minyak. Adapun produksi minyak Rusia per November 2016 diperkirakan mencapai 11,2 juta barel per hari.

Proposes OPEC production decline 4.5%
    Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries or the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) plans to cut oil production by 4% to 4.5%. Pruning is applicable to all members, except Nigeria and Libya. Three people at the OPEC source told Reuters that the meeting in Vienna recommend these cuts. The proposal, as reported by Reuters on Wednesday (23/11), will be discussed at the ministerial meeting of OPEC on 30 November.

    These cuts will have an impact on OPEC production cuts of 1.2 million barrels per day. The figure is a Reuters count based on production in October 2016. A source also said that a delegation from Iran, Iraqis and Indonesia have expressed objections to the plan. In September 2016 then, OPEC countries have agreed to cut actual oil production to 32.5 million to 33 million barrels per day. Currently, OPEC oil production is estimated to reach 33.64 million barrels per day.

    But it seems barriers will come from Iran and Iraqis who do not agree on the proposal. Examples Iran that it wants to increase production due to economic disturbances that had occurred after the embargo. Iran itself has asked other OPEC countries to cut oil production by 4.5%. Currently, the daily production of Iranian oil to reach 4 million barrels. While Iraq, has received a recommendation of many parties in order to cut production by 200,000 barrels per day.

    As many as 85% of production cuts come from Gulf countries. But until now the Iranians do not agree, a source told Reuters. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to be ready to cut production by totaling 1 million barrels per day. The absence of support from Iraq and Iran, according to the source, will complicate the efforts of OPEC to balance the amount of supply and demand. In the end, oil prices were difficult to lift up to the normal price.

    Previous and Algerian Energy Minister Noureddine Boutarfa express complete confidence in the success of the plan that OPEC oil production cuts. This was revealed Boutarfa after meeting with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, who reiterated Russia was considering freezing oil production. As for Russian oil production per November 2016 is estimated at 11.2 million barrels per day.

Harga Gas Baru Dievaluasi Tiap Tahun

    Kementerian ESDM memastikan harga gas untuk industri pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja mulai berlaku pada 2017. Ketiganya dipastikan mendapatkan harga gas tidak lebih dari USD 6 per mmbtu di plant gate. Supaya harga keekonomian terjaga, kementerian akan melakukan pengawasan dan mengevaluasi setiap tahun. Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan menyatakan, hingga saat ini, Peraturan Menteri ESDM soal harga gas memang belum keluar. Namun, pemerintah sudah memastikan harga gas murah diberikan kepada tiga industri terlebih dulu.

    Diatur supaya terjangkau. Maksimal USD 6 per mmbtu. Karena aturan belum keluar, Jonan belum mau berbicara lebih detail soal harga gas baru. Menurut dia, aturan itu akan dibuat detail. Karena itu, dia meminta menunggu sampai aturan keluar. Dia memastikan bahwa tiga industri tersebut memang layak mendapatkan gas murah. Meski ada fakta bahwa pupuk asal Indonesia banyak diekspor, dia menyatakan tidak masalah. Menurut dia, hal itu bukan berani memberikan subsidi pupuk kepada eksporter.

    Sebab, pupuk diprioritaskan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dalam negeri terlebih dulu. Diutamakan yang dalam negeri. Kelebihannya bisa diekspor, kata mantan menteri perhubungan itu. Penetapan harga gas mempertimbangkan tiga hal. Yakni, keekonomian lapangan, kemampuan daya beli konsumen gas bumi dalam negeri, dan nilai tambah pemanfaatan gas bumi di dalam negeri. SKK migas akan mengoordinasikan penyiapan penyesuaian harga jual kepada produsen gas bumi.

    Kementerian bakal mengoordinasikan penyiapan penyesuaian besaran tarif pengangkutan gas bumi melalui pipa. Dia berharap Peraturan Menteri ESDM bisa mendorong investasi migas dan daya saing industri bertambah. Sebab, pemerintah berkepentingan untuk mempercepat pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional dan menjamin harga jual gas bumi yang ekonomis. Ketika harga baru gas bumi nanti berlaku, Jonan memastikan Kementerian ESDM tidak akan lepas tangan.

    Ada pengawasan yang dilakukan setiap tiga bulan dan evaluasi setiap tahun atau waktu tertentu dengan mempertimbangkan kondisi dalam negeri. Direktorat Jenderal Migas Kementerian ESDM Wiratmaja Puja menambahkan, harga gas yang diperbarui nanti didukung dengan pengetatan terhadap trader tanpa infrastruktur. Hingga akhir tahun ini, diusahakan tidak lagi ada trader gas yang bermodal kertas. Selain soal harga gas, Jonan mengumumkan dua Peraturan Menteri ESDM yang resmi meluncur Yakni, Peraturan Menteri 36/2016 tentang BBM Satu Harga dan Peraturan Menteri 35/2016 tentang Pembangunan Kilang Minyak dalam Negeri oleh Badan Usaha Swasta. Untuk BBM satu harga, uang yang harus dibayarkan pembeli premium dan solar akan sama se Indonesia pada 2017.

New Gas Price Evaluated Each Year

    The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to make sure the price of gas for the fertilizer industry, petrochemical and steel came into force in 2017. All three are determined to get the price of gas is not more than $ 6 per mmbtu at the plant gate. For a more economical price awake, the ministry will supervise and evaluate each year. Minister Ignatius Jonan states, to date, Regulation of Minister about the price of gas does not come out. However, the government has to make sure the price of cheap gas was given to three industry first.

    Arranged so affordable. A maximum of USD 6 per mmbtu. Because the rule has not come out, Jonan not want to talk in more detail about the new gas prices. According to him, the regulation will be made detail. Therefore, he asked to wait until the rules come out. He ensures that the three industries are indeed deserving of cheap gas. Despite the fact that the fertilizer from Indonesia exported, he said it was not a problem. According to him, it did not dare to give fertilizer subsidy to exporters.

    Because, fertilizers prioritized to meet domestic demand first. Preferably in the country. The surplus could be exported, said the former minister of transportation. Gas pricing consider three things. Namely, the economic field, the purchasing power of domestic consumers of natural gas, and value-added utilization of natural gas in the country. SKK will coordinate the preparation of oil and natural gas sales price adjustment to the natural gas producer.

    The Ministry will coordinate the preparation of the tariff adjustment of transporting natural gas through pipelines. He hoped Regulation Minister could push oil and gas investment and increased industrial competitiveness. Therefore, the government's interest to accelerate the growth of the national economy and ensure the selling price of natural gas is economical. When a new price of natural gas later apply, Jonan ensure MEMR will not get out of hand.

    No monitoring is done every three months and evaluation each year or a certain time taking into account the conditions in the country. The Directorate General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Wiratmaja Puja adds, gas prices are update later supported by a tightening of the trader without infrastructure. By the end of this year, sought no longer exists gas traders cashed paper. Besides about gas prices, Jonan Minister announced two regulations which officially rolled Namely, Regulation 36/2016 on BBM One Price and Regulation 35/2016 on the Development of Oil Refinery in the State by private business entities. For the price of fuel, the money to be paid buyers of gasoline and diesel will be the same across Indonesia in 2017.

Cheap Gas One Step Again

    The potential income is US$ 544 million per year if the government does not collect non-tax state revenue (PNBP) and has the potential to lose US$ 1.26 billion if the government does not collect taxes and PNBP at all. The reason is, there are 50 gas sales and purchase contracts that must be compensated. 

    At the downstream level, tiered traders will be removed in order to reduce the gas distribution chain which has been detrimental to consumers. The industrial sector which receives lower gas prices is expected to be efficient in terms of the use of gas, both as raw material and as fuel.

    Director of Industrial Energy Conservation at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Farida Zed, emphasized that if low gas prices are not accompanied by the industry's desire to streamline its activities, the competitiveness of the industry will not increase significantly. According to him, energy efficiency can actually be done in several ways.

    First, efficiency without incurring costs by changing behavior. Second, by changing old technology into new technology that is more efficient. The Directorate General of Chemical, Textile, and Miscellaneous Industries at the Ministry of Industry, Achmad Sigit Dwi Wahjono, said that only 50 percent of industries, such as fertilizers, had improved their technology.

    Likewise with the glass, textile, and ceramic industries. According to him, replacing technology requires a large investment, Petrokimia costs around Rp 4 trillion-Rp 5 trillion, fertilizer once an investment of Rp 5 trillion. Industry players appreciate the government's decision to lower gas prices. Vice President of Corporate Relations of PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical, Suhat Miyarso, said that the decline in gas prices to US$ 6 per MMBtu had a positive impact on production cost efficiency.

    Suhat said the decline in gas prices would encourage the company to realize the plan to develop the Methanol industry into olefins in Bintuni Bay, West Papua. According to the plan, the plant has a capacity of about 1 million tons of methanol and produces 400,000 tons of polypropylene. 

    The investment value is US$ 2 billion. For a new project, if the gas price is feasible, we want to use gas for raw materials by building a methanol factory to convert olefins. Marketing Director of PT Krakatau Steel Dadang Danusiri added that the company accepts any government decision.

    According to him, the gas price of US$ 6 per MMBtu will have an impact on the efficiency of the company's production costs. Initially, the company hoped that the gas price in the sector would not exceed US$ 5 per MMBtu so that the direct reduced iron facility that produces slabs and billets could be reproduced so that the price of slabs can be more competitive and the price of Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) can be sold cheaper.

    Head of Corporate Communication of PT Pupuk Indonesia Wijaya, said that the company remains committed to providing subsidized fertilizers which reached 9.50 million tons this year, even though gas prices fell to only US$ 6 per MMBtu. However, he believes the operational costs of his factory in Aceh can be up to 25% efficient. Previously, data from the Ministry of Industry revealed that fertilizer businesses asked the government to reduce gas prices to US$ 3-US$ 4 per MMBtu.

Pertamina Peroleh Hak Kelola 100% Blok ONWJ

    Pertamina sedang menghitung kerugian yang akan diklaimkan kepada pemasok FAME yang terkontaminasi air untuk campuran biosolar di TBBM Plumpang. PT Pertamina bakal memiliki hak kelola 100% blok migas Offshore. North West java (ONWJ). Pengembalian hak kelola sesuai perintah Presiden Joko Widodo itu mulai berlaku saat berakhirnya kontrak konsorsium pengelola blok migas yang terdiri atas Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) ONWJ bersama Energi Mega Persada ONWJ Ltd dan Kufpec Indonesia pada 18 Januari 2017.

    Pertamina masih boleh saja share down dengan yang lain, tetapi dengan Skema business to business (b to b). Yang pasti pemerintah melimpahkannya dulu ke Pertamina,” kata Dirjen Migas Kementerian ESDM IGN Wiratmaja Puja. Mekanisme itu, seperti kepemilikan Pertamina terhadap Blok Mahakam, Kalimantan Timur, yang sebelumnya dikelola Total E&P Indonesia. Mengenai porsi hak kelola yang bisa ditawarkan Pertamina ke mitra usaha, Wiratmaja mengaku belum mengetahui secara pasti. Dia pun menyebut tidak ada perubahan terhadap rencana kerja dan anggaran (WP&B) karena kontraktornya masih Pertamina.

    Karena Kufpec tidak jadi mengambil bagian hak kelola pasca-perpanjangan kontrak, berarti Pertamina hanya tinggal menyelesaikan hak kelola EMP. Itu b to b saja sama Pertamina. Komposisi hak kelola Blok ONWJ saat ini terdiri atas PHE ONWJ sebesar 58,28%, EMP ONWJ 36,72%, dan Kufpec Indonesia BV 5%. Sebenarnya pada akhir Desember 2015, SKK Migas dan Pertamina telah menandatangi perpanjangan kontrak Blok ONWJ. Dari hasil perjanjian telah disetujui komposisi hak kelola blok pasca berakhirnya kontrak per 18 Januari 2017, berubah menjadi PHE ONWJ sebesar 73,5%, EMP 24%, dan Kufpec 2,5%.

    Namun, seusai penandatangan kontrak, kedua mitra Pertamina itu tidak menunjukkan kepastian komitmen. Di sisi lain, Pertamina sedang menghitung kerugian yang akan diklaimkan kepada pemasok fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) untuk campuran biosolar di Terminal Bahan Bakar Minyak (TBBM) Plumpang, Jakarta Utara. Pasokan FAME diduga terkontaminasi air saat dibawa kapal pemasok selama perjalanan. Hal itu membuat perseroan menanggung kerugian lantaran harus menarik kembali pasokan biosolar dari stasiun pengisian bahan bakar umum (SPBU) ke TBBM Plumpang demi menghalau meluasnya persebaran biosolar terkontaminasi.

    Pasokan FAME terkontaminasi air itu berasal dari Wilmar Group. Meski demikian, Pertamina tidak bisa memutus kontrak dengan Wilmar lantaran evaluasi kontrak harus seizin Kementerian ESDM. Pekan ini insya Allah (TBBM Plumpang) sudah bisa campur biosolar.

    Pertamina is still okay to share with the others down, but with Scheme business to business (B to B). To be sure the government delegate had to Pertamina, "said Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral IGN Wiratmaja Puja. Such a mechanism, such as Pertamina ownership of the Mahakam block in East Kalimantan, which was previously managed by Total E & P Indonesia. Regarding the right to manage the portion that can be offered to business partners Pertamina, Wiratmaja claimed not to know for sure. He also mentioned there are no changes to the work plan and budget (WP & B) because the contractor is still Pertamina.

    Because Kufpec did not take part the right to manage the post-renewal, meaning it only stayed finish EMP management rights. That b to b alone at Pertamina. The composition of the management rights ONWJ currently consists of PHE ONWJ amounted to 58.28%, 36.72% ONWJ EMP, and Kufpec Indonesia BV 5%. Actually, at the end of December 2015, SKK Migas and Pertamina has signed a contract extension ONWJ. From the results of the agreement was approved the composition of the management rights for a block after the expiration of the contract per January 18, 2017, turned into a PHE ONWJ for 73.5%, 24% EMP, and Kufpec 2.5%.

    However, after signing the contract, both partners Pertamina did not show the certainty of commitment. On the other hand, Pertamina is counting the losses that will be claimed to suppliers fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) for biodiesel in the mixture Fuel Terminal (TBBM) Plumpang, North Jakarta. FAME suspected to be contaminated water supply during transport supply ship during the trip. It made the company bear losses due to supply biodiesel must withdraw from public refueling stations (gas stations) to TBBM Plumpang sake dispel the widespread distribution of contaminated biodiesel.

    FAME contaminated water supply comes from the Wilmar Group. However, Pertamina can not break the contract with Wilmar evaluation because the contract must be authorized by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. This week, insya allah (TBBM Plumpang) was able to mix biodiesel.

Hexindo starts oil production in Lemang

    Private oil and gas firm Hexindo Gemilang Jaya, a subsidiary of Singapore-listed company Ramba Energy Ltd., has begun oil production in the Lemang block in Jambi in the southern part of Sumatra, with a capacity of 100 barrels per day (bpd). Ramba Energy CEO and executive director David Aditya Soeryadjaya said the oil production came from the company’s Akatara-2 well, one of the company’s existing wells, which also consist of the Akatara-1 and Selong-1 wells.

    He said the production from the Akatara-2 well, the only well which has been producing, was expected to pump out 500 bpd by year end. The company plans to drill five more wells in the Lemang block in order to produce at least 2,000 bpd by the end of 2017 To meet its target, the firm will allocate up to US$60 million in capital expenditure next year to partly finance the drilling work for the five wells. The initial production is considered as a milestone for the company because Hexindo has been exploring oil and gas in the Lemang block since 2007 and has spent around $60 million on exploration.

    Akatara and Wajik [oil fields] are estimated to have potential oil reserves of up to 400 million barrels. However, we haven’t begun our drilling in Wajik as we want to concentrate on Akatara first, David said. According to data issued in 2011, the block is estimated to hold prospective reserves of approximately 511 million barrels of oil and 468 billion cubic feet of gas. The Selong-1 well was discovered in December 2012, followed by Akatara-1 and Akatara-2 wells in May 2013 and February 2014 respectively.

    Hexindo received approval for its Plan of Development (PoD) for the Lemang block from the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKKMigas) in August 2015. The Lemang block is operated by Hexindo in partnership with Mandala Energy Limited and Eastwin Global Investments Limited. Hexindo has a 31 percent interest in the block, while Eastwin, which is a subsidiary of publicly listed oil and gas company Sugih Energy, holds a 34 percent share and Mandala Energy Ltd., a Southeast Asia oil and gas explorer and producer, owns a 35 percent stake. The partnership concluded in 2016 and Hexindo was appointed as the operator ofthe Lemang block.

    Commenting on the fact that crude oil prices remain weak at less than $50 per barrel, David said the firm would maintain low costs for its operation. Tunggal, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry’s upstream oil and gas business guidance director, said he highly appreciated the initial oil production of the company which might be able to prop up the national oil lifting target. “We hope this can support our national production, which has begun to drop,” Tunggal said. The House of Representatives Commission VII overseeing energy affairs decided to increase the oil lifting (net production) target to 815,000 bpd in 2017, higher than an initial target of 780,000 barrels. According to SKKMigas, national oil production, which has dwindled since 2008, rose by 6.2 percent to 834,000 bpd as of July this year from 786,000 bpd in the corresponding period last year.

Hexindo Mulai Produksi Minyak di Blok Lemang

    Perusahaan minyak dan gas swasta Hexindo Gemilang Jaya, anak perusahaan dari perusahaan yang terdaftar di Singapura Ramba Energy Ltd, telah mulai produksi minyak di blok Lemang di Jambi di Sumatera bagian selatan, dengan kapasitas 100 barel per hari (bph). Ramba CEO Energi dan direktur eksekutif David Aditya Soeryadjaya mengatakan produksi minyak berasal dari perusahaan Akatara-2 baik, salah satu existing wells perusahaan, yang juga terdiri dari Akatara-1 dan Selong-1 sumur.

    Dia mengatakan produksi dari Akatara-2 baik, satu-satunya juga yang telah memproduksi, diharapkan untuk memompa keluar 500 barel per hari pada akhir tahun. Perusahaan berencana untuk mengebor lima sumur lainnya di blok Lemang untuk menghasilkan sedikitnya 2.000 barel per hari pada akhir 2017 Untuk memenuhi target, perusahaan akan mengalokasikan hingga US $ 60 juta pada belanja modal tahun depan untuk mendanai sebagian dari pekerjaan pengeboran untuk lima sumur. Produksi awal dianggap sebagai tonggak bagi perusahaan karena Hexindo telah menjelajahi minyak dan gas di blok Lemang sejak tahun 2007 dan telah menghabiskan sekitar $ 60 juta pada eksplorasi.

    Akatara dan Wajik [ladang minyak] diperkirakan memiliki cadangan minyak potensial hingga 400 juta barel. Namun, kami belum mulai pengeboran kami di Wajik karena kami ingin berkonsentrasi pada Akatara pertama, kata David. Menurut data yang dikeluarkan pada tahun 2011, blok tersebut diperkirakan memiliki calon cadangan sekitar 511 juta barel minyak dan 468000000000 kaki kubik gas. Selong-1 ditemukan pada Desember 2012, diikuti oleh Akatara-1 dan Akatara-2 sumur Mei 2013 dan Februari 2014 masing-masing.

    Hexindo menerima persetujuan untuk rencana nya Pembangunan (PoD) untuk blok Lemang dari Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Regulatory Satuan Tugas Khusus (SKK Migas) pada bulan Agustus 2015. Blok Lemang dioperasikan oleh Hexindo dalam kemitraan dengan Mandala Energy Limited dan Eastwin global Investments Limited . Hexindo memiliki minat 31 persen di blok tersebut, sementara Eastwin, yang merupakan anak perusahaan dari publik perusahaan minyak dan gas Sugih Energy, memegang pangsa 34 persen dan Mandala Energy Ltd, explorer minyak dan gas Asia Tenggara dan produser, memiliki 35 persen saham. Kemitraan ini menyimpulkan pada tahun 2016 dan Hexindo ditunjuk sebagai operator dari blok Lemang.

    Mengomentari fakta bahwa harga minyak mentah tetap lemah kurang dari $ 50 per barel, David mengatakan perusahaan akan mempertahankan biaya rendah untuk operasi. Tunggal, Energi dan direktur pembinaan minyak dan bisnis gas hulu Sumber Daya Mineral, mengatakan ia sangat menghargai produksi minyak awal perusahaan yang mungkin bisa menopang target lifting minyak nasional. "Kami berharap ini dapat mendukung produksi nasional kita, yang sudah mulai turun," kata Tunggal. DPR Komisi VII bidang energi mengawasi memutuskan untuk meningkatkan lifting minyak (produksi bersih) target untuk 815.000 bph pada tahun 2017, lebih tinggi dari target awal 780.000 barel. Menurut SKK Migas, produksi minyak nasional, yang telah berkurang sejak 2008, naik 6,2 persen menjadi 834.000 barel per hari pada Juli tahun ini dari 786.000 barel per hari pada periode yang sama tahun lalu.

Pertamina Urged to Build Refineries in Eastern Indonesia

    State-owned petroleum giant Pertamina is urged to build new refineries and upgrade an existing one in the eastern part of Indonesia to cut distribution costs amid its ambitious plan to boost oil production by more than 200 percent by 2030. Pertamina is looking to upgrade four of its existing facilities, namely the Cilacap refinery in Central Java, the Balikpapan refinery in East Kalimantan, the Dumai refinery in Riau and the Balongan refinery in West Java. It will also build several new refineries, including one in Bontang, East Kalimantan, and another in Tuban, East Java.

    The development of the refineries is part of Pertamina’s plan to increase domestic oil production to 2.6 million bopd by 2030 from the current 830,000 bopd. By then, it expects to have reduced imports by 70 percent to only 231,000 bopd. However, the new refineries should ideally be built in the country’s eastern part, so that we can reduce distribution costs in that region,” Kurtubi, a member of House of Representatives’ Commission VII overseeing energy affairs. “The costs will be too high for Pertamina to distribute its fuel that is produced in Bontang, for instance, to regions like East Nusa Tenggara or Papua.

    Why doesn’t the company just build one in Lombok, which is near those areas, to bring down costs?” Kurtubi, who is also an energy expert at the University of Indonesia, said as the new refineries would use 100 percent imported crude, they should be located close to consumers as Pertamina’s end users, including those in eastern regions. In September, Pertamina started operating an Air Tractor aircraft with a capacity of 4,000 liters to transport fuel to Papua to improve cost efficiency. That is after it was estimated in June that the company was spending more than Rp 34.34 billion (US$2.56 million) 'a month to deliver fuel to Papua and Rp 5.4 billion to West Papua by overland, maritime and air transportation.“In fact, Pertamina can reduce distribution costs by upgrading its Kasim refinery in Papua.

    Pertamina can meet most of the oil demand from the region by increasing the refinery’s production capacity to at least 50,000 bopd from the current 10,000 bopd,” Center of Energy and Resources Indonesia (CERI) executive director Yusri Usman said. Pertamina launched operations at the Kasim refinery in July 1997, its first refinery in the eastern part of Indonesia and the last to be built in the archipelago. Since then, Indonesia’s oil production has been gradually dropping, falling 39.4 percent to 830,000 bopd at the moment from 1.37 million bopd in 1997.

    National demand for oil has moved the opposite way doubling to 1.6 million bopd from around 800,000 bopd. Yusri said Indonesia needed to immediately build new refineries to boost oil processing, but those facilities should not be concentrated in certain places, such as inthe western and central parts of the country. Multinational financial consultant PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) wrote in its Oil and Gas in Indonesia” report in May that Indonesia had a diversity of geological basins, which continued to offer sizeable oil and gas potential.

    The report states that Indonesia has 60 sedimentary basins, including 36 basin in its western regions, that have already been thoroughly explored. About 75 percent of exploration and production is located in Indonesia’s western part, where the country has four oil-producing regions, namely Sumatra, the Java Sea, East Kalimantan and Natuna. Meanwhile, East Kalimantan, West Papua, South Sumatra, Sulawesi and Natuna are considered the main gas producing regions.

Pertamina Didesak Bangun Kilang di Indonesia Timur

    Raksasa minyak milik negara-Pertamina didesak untuk membangun kilang baru dan upgrade yang sudah ada di Indonesia bagian timur untuk memotong biaya distribusi di tengah rencana ambisius untuk meningkatkan produksi minyak oleh lebih dari 200 persen pada tahun 2030. Pertamina mencari untuk meng-upgrade empat fasilitas yang ada, yaitu kilang Cilacap di Jawa Tengah, kilang Balikpapan, Kalimantan Timur, kilang Dumai di Riau dan kilang Balongan di Jawa Barat. Hal ini juga akan membangun beberapa kilang baru, termasuk satu di Bontang, Kalimantan Timur, dan satu lagi di Tuban, Jawa Timur.

    Pengembangan kilang merupakan bagian dari rencana Pertamina untuk meningkatkan produksi minyak dalam negeri untuk 2,6 juta bopd pada 2030 dari saat ini 830.000 bopd. Pada saat itu, mereka mengharapkan untuk mengurangi impor sebesar 70 persen menjadi hanya 231.000 bopd. Namun, kilang baru idealnya harus dibangun di bagian timur negara itu, sehingga kita dapat mengurangi biaya distribusi di wilayah itu, "Kurtubi, anggota DPR Komisi VII mengawasi urusan energi. "Biaya akan terlalu tinggi untuk Pertamina untuk mendistribusikan bahan bakar yang diproduksi di Bontang, misalnya, untuk daerah seperti Nusa Tenggara Timur atau Papua.

    Mengapa perusahaan tidak membangun satu kilang di Lombok, yang dekat daerah-daerah, untuk menurunkan biaya? "Kurtubi, yang juga seorang ahli energi di Universitas Indonesia, mengatakan sebagai kilang baru akan menggunakan 100 persen minyak mentah impor, mereka harus berada dekat dengan konsumen sebagai pengguna akhir Pertamina, termasuk di wilayah timur. Pada bulan September, Pertamina mulai beroperasi sebuah pesawat Air Tractor dengan kapasitas 4.000 liter untuk mengangkut bahan bakar untuk Papua untuk meningkatkan efisiensi biaya. Yang setelah itu diperkirakan pada bulan Juni bahwa perusahaan itu menghabiskan lebih dari Rp 34.340.000.000 (US $ 2.560.000) bulan untuk memberikan bahan bakar untuk Papua dan Rp 5,4 miliar untuk Papua Barat oleh darat, laut dan transportasi udara. "Bahkan, Pertamina dapat mengurangi biaya distribusi dengan meningkatkan kilang Kasim di Papua.

    Pertamina dapat memenuhi sebagian besar permintaan minyak dari wilayah tersebut dengan meningkatkan kapasitas produksi kilang untuk setidaknya 50.000 bopd dari saat ini 10.000 bopd, "kata Pusat Energi dan Sumber Daya Indonesia (CERI) direktur eksekutif Yusri Usman. Pertamina meluncurkan operasi di kilang Kasim pada bulan Juli 1997, kilang pertama di bagian timur Indonesia dan yang terakhir akan dibangun di Nusantara. Sejak itu, produksi minyak Indonesia telah secara bertahap menurun, jatuh 39,4 persen menjadi 830.000 bopd pada saat ini dari 1,37 juta bopd pada tahun 1997.

    Kebutuhan nasional untuk minyak telah bergerak dengan cara yang berlawanan dua kali lipat untuk 1,6 juta bopd dari seluruh 800.000 bopd. Yusri mengatakan Indonesia perlu segera membangun kilang baru untuk meningkatkan pengolahan minyak, tetapi mereka fasilitas tidak boleh terkonsentrasi di tempat-tempat tertentu, seperti inthe bagian barat dan tengah negara itu. konsultan keuangan multinasional Pricewater House Coopers (PWC) menulis dalam nya Minyak dan Gas di Indonesia "Laporan pada Mei bahwa Indonesia memiliki keragaman cekungan geologi, yang terus menawarkan potensi minyak dan gas yang cukup besar.

    Laporan itu menyatakan bahwa Indonesia memiliki 60 cekungan sedimen, termasuk 36 cekungan di wilayah barat, yang telah benar-benar dieksplorasi. Sekitar 75 persen dari eksplorasi dan produksi terletak di bagian barat Indonesia, di mana negara ini memiliki empat daerah penghasil minyak, yaitu Sumatera, Laut Jawa, Kalimantan Timur dan Natuna. Sementara itu, Kalimantan Timur, Papua Barat, Sumatera Selatan, Sulawesi dan Natuna dianggap sebagai daerah penghasil gas utama.

Habis Kontrak, Blok ONWJ Diberikan ke Pertamina

    Pemerintah memutuskan Blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) diserahkan sepenuhnya kepada PT Pertamina setelah kontraknya selesai pada 18 Januari 2017. Kebijakan ini berbeda dengan rencana awal di mana sedianya Blok ONWJ tetap dipegang Pertamina dan mitra eksisting. Direktur jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja mengatakan, Blok ONWJ dikembalikan ke negara begitu kontrak saat ini rampung. Selanjutnya, pemerintah memberikan blok ini kepada Pertamina.

    Skema ini sama dengan yang diputuskan pemerintah terkait pengelolaan Blok Mahakam mulai 2018. Proses penyerahan blok ini disebutnya akan diurus oleh Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas). Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan sudah memberikan penugasan kepada SKK Migas. Saat ini, SKK Migas dan Pertamina sedang membahas pengelolaan Blok ONWJ. Pihaknya belum dapat memastikan pemberian blok ke Pertamina itu telah terealisasi. Demikian juga dengan besaran hak partisipasi yang dapat dilepas oleh Pertamina.
   
    Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam menyatakan pihaknya sudah mendapat informasi soal diserahkannya Blok ONWJ 100% kepada perseroan. Sesuai keputusan pemerintah, pihaknya membuka kemungkinan dilepasnya sebagian hak partisipasi (share down) yang dimilikinya kepada mitra eksisting. Modelnya seperti Blok Mahakam. Kontrak PSC (production sharing contract/ kontrak kerja sama) di blok tersebut tidak diperpanjang dan diserahkan ke Pertamina.

    Soal kebijakan sebelumnya di mana kontrak Blok ONWJ diperpanjang, disebutnya belum berlaku lantaran belum ada PSC yang ditanda tangani. Sehingga, perubahan kebijakan ini tidak akan menjadi masalah bagi perseroan termasuk untuk pengelolaannya, karena operatorship Blok ONWJ selama ini dipegang Pertamina. Pada akhir tahun lalu, pemerintah sempat memutuskan untuk memperpanjang kontrak Blok ONWJ. Saat itu hak partisipasi di blok tersebut dibagi kepada Pertamina 73,5%, Energi Mega Persada ONWJ Ltd 24%, dan KUFPEC (ONWJ) BV 2,5%. Namun kebijakan ini diubah menjadi Blok ONWJ 100% untuk Pertamina.

    Meski terdapat perubahan pemegang hak partisipasi, rencana kerja dan anggaran (work plan and budget/ WP&B) yang telah disusun untuk pengembangan Blok ONWJ pada tahun depan tidak perlu diubah. Hal ini lantaran tidak ada perubahan pemegang hak operatorship, yaitu tetap Pertamina. Demikian pula dengan rencana investasi tiga tahun pertama yang sempat disusun ketika model pengembangan Blok ONWJ masih berupa perpanjangan kontrak.

    Sebelumnya disebutkan total komitmen investasi pada tiga tahun pertama Blok ONWJ mulai 2017 mencapai US$ 301,3 juta. Pada tahun pertama, PHE ONWJ harus mengucurkan US$ 143,3 juta untuk pemboran enam sumur pengembangan dan satu sumur eksplorasi, serta kegiatan work over dan stimulasi sumur. Tahun kedua dan ketiga dana yang harus dikucurkan masing-masing US$ 79 juta untuk pemboran enam sumur pengembangan dan satu sumur eksplorasi. Sampai Agustus lalu, produksi minyak di Blok ONWJ mencapai 36,39 ribu barel per hari (bph) dan gas rata-rata 27,8 ribu boepd. Angka ini tidak jauh dari target tahun ini sebesar 37.300 bph dan gas 24,6 ribu boepd.

    Sesuai APBN 2017, target produksi Blok ONWJ pada tahun depan ditetapkan sebesar 36,5 ribu bph dan gas 26,3 ribu boepd. Investasi Inpex di Masela Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman Luhut Binsar Panjaitan memastikan investor asal Jepang, Inpex Corporation, tetap menggarap Blok Masela di Laut Arafura, Maluku.  Menurut Luhut, masih ada beberapa hal yang didiskusikan antara pemerintah dan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama blok tersebut. Menurutnya, tetap ada progres mengenai rencana pengembangan blok gas tersebut.

    Inpex akan keluar dari Blok Masela Karena belum adanya kesepakatan mengenai insentif yang diajukan kontraktor ke pemerintah. Permohonan insentif yang diajukan Inpex diantaranya tingkat pengembalian investasi (Internal Rate of Return/IRR) sebesar 15 persen dengan penambahan kapasitas dari 7,5 mtpa menjadi 9,5 mtpa. Kemudian, moratorium kontrak yang seharusnya berakhir 2028 diperpanjang menjadi 2038. Dan ketiga, penggantian biaya (cost recovery) untuk studi yang dilakukan Inpex sebesar US$ 1,2 miliar.

    Luhut menargetkan pengembangan Blok Masela bisa segera dilakukan. Ia menginstruksikan agar rencana pengembangan lapangan (Plan of Development/PoD) bisa selesai dalam 8 bulan, sehingga konstruksi bisa dimulai 2019.

The contract runs out, ONWJ Awarded to Pertamina

    The government decided the Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) left entirely to PT Pertamina after his contract was completed on January 18, 2017. This policy is different from the original plan which was originally ONWJ still held by Pertamina and existing partners. Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources said I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja, ONWJ returned to the state once the contract is now completed. Furthermore, the government give this block to Pertamina.

    This scheme is similar to that related government decided Mahakam block management began in 2018. The process of handing this block calls will be managed by the Special Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas). ESDM Minister Ignatius Jonan has given the assignment to SKK Migas. Currently, SKK Migas and Pertamina are discussing ONWJ management. It has not been able to ensure the provision of blocks to Pertamina had been realized. Likewise, the amount of participation rights that can be removed by Pertamina.

    Pertamina Upstream Director Syamsu Alam said it had received information about the deposit of ONWJ 100% to the company. Following the decision of the government, it opens the possibility of the release of some of the rights of participation (share down) owned to existing partners. Models such as the Mahakam block. Contracts PSC (production sharing contract / contract of cooperation) in the block are not renewed and submitted to Pertamina.

    About the previous policy where ONWJ extended contract, he called not apply because there is no PSC signed. Thus, this policy change will not be a problem for the company including its management, as operatorship of the ONWJ had been held by Pertamina. At the end of last year, the government had decided to extend the contract ONWJ. When the rights of participation in the block is divided to Pertamina 73.5%, Energi Mega Persada ONWJ Ltd. 24%, and KUFPEC (ONWJ) BV 2.5%. However, this policy was changed to ONWJ 100% for Pertamina.

    Although there is a change in the holder of the rights of participation, work plan and budget (work plan and budget / WP & B) has been prepared for the development ONWJ next year do not need to be changed. This is because there is no change in operatorship rights holders, namely fixed Pertamina. Similarly, the first three-year investment plan which was drawn up when the development model ONWJ still a contract extension.

    Previously mentioned total investment commitments in the first three years ONWJ began in 2017 reached US $ 301.3 million. In the first year, PHE ONWJ must disburse US $ 143.3 million to drill six development wells and one exploration well, as well as the activities of work over and stimulation of wells. Second and third year funds to be disbursed each costing US $ 79 million to drill six development wells and one exploration well. Until last August, oil production in ONWJ reached 36.39 thousand barrels per day (bpd) and gas average 27.8 thousand boepd. This figure is not far from this year's target of 37,300 bpd and gas 24.6 thousand boepd.

    In accordance APBN 2017 ONWJ production target for next year is set at 36.5 thousand barrels per day and gas 26.3 thousand boepd. Inpex Masela investment in maritime Coordinating Minister Luhut Binsar Panjaitan ensure investors from Japan, Inpex Corporation, continue to cultivate the Masela block in the Arafura Sea, Maluku. According Luhut, there are still some things to be discussed between the government and the cooperation contract of the block. According to him, there remains a progress regarding the development plans of the gas block.

    Inpex Masela will exit Due to lack of agreement regarding the proposed incentives to government contractors. Inpex petition filed incentives including investment rate of return (Internal Rate of Return / IRR) of 15 percent with the addition of capacity from 7.5 mtpa to 9.5 mtpa. Then, a moratorium on contracts that should have ended in 2028 was extended to 2038. And third, the replacement cost (cost recovery) to study Inpex of US $ 1.2 billion. Luhut targeting the development of the Masela Block can be done immediately. He instructed that the field development plan (Plan of Development / PoD) can be completed in eight months, so that construction can begin in 2019.

Formula Harga Gas Tiga Sektor Keluar Hari Ini

    Menjelang tenggat waktu penyelesaian akhir November ini, ternyata perumusan penurunan harga gas industri baru kelar untuk tiga sektor. Padahal, bila mengacu pada Peraturan Presiden (Perpres) Nomor 40 tahun 2016 tentang Penetapan Harga Gas Bumi, setidaknya ada tujuh Sektor yang diamanatkan untuk ditetapkan harganya oleh pemerintah. Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar mengatakan, saat ini, baru ada tiga sektor industri yang harga gasnya sepakat diturunkan.

    Ketiga sektor itu adalah pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja. Menurutnya, ketiga sektor itu dipilih lantaran memiliki efek gulir (multiplier effect) yang besar terhadap ekonomi. Mengenai harganya, nanti ada formulanya. Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan menambahkan, formula lengkap penurunan harga gas industri untuk ketiga sektor industri itu akan diumumkan pada Rabu (23/11) hari ini. Menteri Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian Darmin Nasution mengungkapkan, kini pemerintah tengah berusaha untuk menyelesaikan perhitungan penurunan harga gas untuk sektor lainnya.

    Menurutnya, lamanya pembahasan terkait penurunan harga gas industri lantaran masalah yang harus dibahas sangat kompleks. Artinya, penurunan harga gas industri tak semata hanya terkait soal turunnya harga, namun juga ada beban yang harus ditanggung negara sebagai dampak dari kebijakan penurunan harga gas industri. Berdasarkan hitungan simulasi yang dilakukan pemerintah, penurunan harga gas industri menjadi US$ 6 per mmbtu akan terjadi potensi penurunan penerimaan gas bumi meliputi pajak penghasilan (PPh) dan Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak (PNBP) sekitar US$ 104 juta atau setara Rp 1,4 triliun (dengan kurs Rp 13.300 per dollar AS).

    Penurunan penerimaan ini tentu juga akan berdampak ke dana bagi hasil yang akan diberikan ke daerah. Hal ini juga perlu dikomunikasikan dengan daerah. Sebaliknya, penurunan harga gas industri ini juga bakal membawa efek positif bagi perekonomian. Berdasarkan hitungan Badan Kebijakan Fiskal (BKF), penurunan harga gas industri menjadi US$ 6 per mmbtu akan meningkatkan output perekonomian sebesar 0,012% yang bersumber dari peningkatan konsumsi sebesar 0,087% dan peningkatan investasi sebesar 0,11%. Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman Luhut Pandjaitan menyatakan, kini Kementerian Keuangan tengah menghitung kembali dampaknya.

Gas Price Formula Three Sectors Out Today

    Towards the end of the deadline for completion this November, turns the formulation of new industrial gas price reduction for the three sectors finished. In fact, when referring to a Presidential Decree (Decree) No. 40 of 2016 on Natural Gas Pricing, at least seven sectors are mandated to set the price by the government. Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar said, currently, there are only three industrial sectors agreed gas prices lowered.

    The third sector is the fertilizer, petrochemical, and steel. According to him, the three sectors was selected because it has the effect of scroll (multiplier effect) which is great for the economy. Regarding the price, there will be a formula. EMR Minister Ignatius Jonan added, the complete formula of gas price reduction for the third industry sector that will be announced on Wednesday (23/11) today. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Nasution said the central government is now trying to complete the calculation of gas price reductions to other sectors.

    According to him, the length of the discussion related to the decline in gas prices due to industrial problems to be addressed very complex. That is, the decline in industrial gas prices is not solely related to a matter of falling prices, but also a burden to be borne by the state as a result of the policy of industrial decline in gas prices. Based on the count of the simulation conducted by the government, the decline in industrial gas prices to US $ 6 per mmbtu will occur potential decrease in gas receipts include income tax (VAT) and Non Tax Revenue (non-tax) of approximately US $ 104 million or equivalent to Rp 1.4 trillion (with exchange rate of Rp 13,300 per US dollar).

    This certainly fall in revenue will also contribute to the fund for the results to be given to the area. It also needs to be communicated with the area. Conversely, a decrease in gas prices this industry will also bring positive effects for the economy. Based on the count of the Fiscal Policy Office (BKF), the decline in industrial gas prices to US $ 6 per mmbtu would increase the economy's output amounted to 0.012% come from increased consumption amounted to 0.087% and 0.11% increase in investment. Coordinating Minister Luhut Pandjaitan maritime states, the Ministry of Finance is now counting back impact.
