Pertamina to Collect Petral Receivables

State-owned oil and gas company Pertamina has said that it will start to collect the receivables of its liquidated trading arm Pertamina Energy Trading Limited (Petral) this year. The poor documentation of the receivables that had hampered the collection process should have been rectified in 2016, said Pertamina president director Dwi Soetjipto, adding that Pertamina would have to reclassify the exact amounts of receivables with the clients.

Pertamina has already asked government institutions such as the Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP) and Attorney General Office to carry out the reclassification process, he said. ”We want the reclassification process to be legally valid and not cause any more problems in the future," he said.

Dwi said Pertamina would talk to its clients to discuss the issue. ”We have to check our findings with the clients. Some clients may admit that they have payables to Petral, some others may not, this should be resolved,” he said.

PGN Build Natural Gas Pipeline Lamongan, Tuban Throughout the 141-KM

PT PGN expand natural gas pipelines in various areas, one of them by building a gas pipeline segment-Lamongan Gresik-Tuban along the 141 kilometer (km). PGN will continue to aggressively build gas pipelines to expand the utilization of gas to the public. One of them in East Java such as in-Lamongan Gresik segment-Tuban, "said Vice President of Corporate Communications PGN, Andri Irwan Atmanto.

Irwan said, for phase l of the road Gresik - Lamongan - Tuban, PGN is currently in the process of construction of a gas pipeline in the village of Suci up Sembayat in Gresik, East Java 11.5 km. Phase I of the project is targeted for completion in the first quarter - 2017.

The gas pipeline will also be connected with the pipe PGN already existing in East Java. It is expected the presence of gas pipelines, will be more and more industries, SME, commercial business (hotels, shopping malls, hospitals, restaurants) to households and transportation to enjoy the good energy of natural gas is a clean and efficient compared to other fuels from PGN ,

In the construction of this natural gas network, PGN need the support of national and local government and the community. The support we had hoped for during the development process gas pipe sometimes causes an uncomfortable feeling for the community road users when the pipe is planted on the roadside, said Irwan.

Irwan said that in order to reduce the inconvenience that, in any gas pipeline project, PGN emphasizes professionalism. Extracting gas pipeline project will be completed on time and the excavated soil immediately return it to the original condition even better.

As examples of the PGN pipeline project in the Holy village-Village Sembayat 11.5 km, PGN dugouts to move to another location, thereby reducing road user inconvenience. Once the gas pipeline is completed planted, PGN will repair the road being dug in and the asphalt until smooth. Construction of gas pipeline project-Lamongan Gresik-Tuban, East Java, PGN is also well as a commitment to open up areas of new natural gas market in East Java.

Like last year, PGN strengthen the natural gas pipeline network in East Java to build a gas pipeline in Sidoarjo along the 32 km, 23 km Surabaya, Pasuruan 2 km. Until now, the total length of natural gas pipeline in East Java PGN around 1,155 km, with details, PGN pipeline along 552 km in Surabaya, Gresik, Sidoarjo-141 Km 404 km and 199 km Pasuruan. The pipeline project is already in operation and the gas to various customers such as industry, SMEs, commercial businesses to households, "added Irwan.

PGN is the only entity in Indonesia that distribute natural gas to various customer segments, ranging from households, Small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs), commercial business (shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and restaurants), industrial, power generation and transportation , Until now PGN distribute natural gas to more than 120,000 households. In addition to the 1,929 small businesses, malls, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, to restaurants, and 1,630 large-scale industrial and power plants. Natural gas pipeline owned and operated PGN along more than 7,200 km, or about 78% of national downstream natural gas pipeline, "added Irwan.

PGN Bangun Pipa Gas Bumi Lamongan-Tuban Sepanjang 141 KM

PT PGN memperluas jaringan pipa gas bumi di berbagai daerah, salah satunya dengan membangun pipa gas bumi ruas Gresik-Lamongan-Tuban sepanjang 141 kilometer (Km). PGN akan terus agresif dalam membangun jaringan pipa gas bumi untuk memperluas pemanfaatan gas bumi ke masyarakat. Salah satunya di Jawa Timur seperti di ruas Gresik-Lamongan-Tuban,” kata Vice President Corporate Communication PGN, Irwan Andri Atmanto.

Irwan mengatakan, untuk tahap l dari ruas Gresik - Lamongan - Tuban, PGN saat ini dalam proses pembangunan pipa gas di Desa Suci hingga Desa Sembayat di Gresik, Jawa Timur sepanjang 11,5 km. Proyek tahap I ini ditargetkan selesai pada kuartal I - 2017.

Pipa gas tersebut juga akan tersambung dengan pipa PGN yang sudah eksisting di Jawa Timur. Diharapkan dengan keberadaan jaringan pipa gas ini, akan makin banyak lagi industri, UKM, usaha komersial (hotel, mal, rumah sakit, rumah makan) hingga rumah tangga dan transportasi yang menikmati energi baik gas bumi yang bersih dan efisien dibanding bahan bakar lainnya dari PGN.

Dalam pembangunan jaringan gas bumi ini, PGN butuh dukungan dari pemerintah pusat maupun daerah serta masyarakat. Dukungan itu kami harapkan karena selama proses pembangunan pipa gas terkadang menimbulkan rasa kurang nyaman bagi masyarakat pengguna jalan ketika pipa ditanam di pinggir jalan, kata Irwan.

Irwan menyatakan, bahwa untuk mengurangi ketidak nyamanan itu, dalam setiap pengerjaan proyek pipa gas, PGN mengedepankan profesionalitas. Proyek penggalian pipa gas akan diselesaikan tepat waktu dan tanah yang digali segera di kembalikan pada kondisi seperti semula bahkan lebih baik.

Seperti contoh proyek pipa PGN di Desa Suci-Desa Sembayat sepanjang 11,5 km, PGN sampai memindahkan tanah galian ke lokasi lain sehingga mengurangi ketidak nyamanan pengguna jalan. Setelah pipa gas selesai ditanam, PGN akan memperbaiki jalan yang digali dan di aspal hingga mulus. Pembangunan proyek pipa gas Gresik-Lamongan-Tuban, Jawa Timur ini juga sekaligus komitmen PGN untuk membuka wilayah-wilayah pasar gas bumi baru di Jawa Timur.

Seperti tahun lalu, PGN memperkuat jaringan pipa gas bumi di Jawa Timur dengan membangun pipa gas di Sidoarjo sepanjang 32 km, Surabaya 23 km, Pasuruan 2 km. Hingga saat ini total panjang pipa gas bumi PGN di Jawa Timur sekitar 1.155 km, dengan rincian, pipa PGN di Surabaya sepanjang 552 km, Gresik-141 Km Sidoarjo 404 km, dan Pasuruan 199 km. Proyek pipa tersebut sudah beroperasi dan mengalirkan gas ke berbagai pelanggan seperti industri, UKM, usaha komersial hingga rumah tangga,” tambah Irwan.

PGN merupakan satu satunya badan usaha di Indonesia yang menyalurkan gas bumi ke berbagai segmen pelanggan, mulai dari rumah tangga, Usaha Kecil dan Mikro (UKM), usaha komersial (mal, hotel, rumah sakit dan rumah makan) , industri, pembangkit listrik dan transportasi. Hingga saat ini PGN menyalurkan gas bumi ke lebih dari 120.000 rumah tangga. Selain itu ke 1.929 usaha kecil, mal, hotel, rumah sakit, restoran, hingga rumah makan, serta 1.630 industri berskala besar dan pembangkit listrik. Pipa gas bumi yang dimiliki dan dioperasikan PGN saat ini sepanjang lebih dari 7.200 km atau sekitar 78% pipa gas bumi hilir nasional,” tutup Irwan.

Rosneft and Iran Interested in Balongan Refinery

In March 2017, PT Pertamina will hold a beauty contest. The goal, looking for partners for program development Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) or modernization of an increase in production for the Balongan refinery in West Java.

Director of Mega Project Processing and Petrochemical Pertamina Rachmad Hardadi states, after it was decided not to continue development cooperation Balongan refinery with Saudi Aramco, Pertamina will repeat the process for selecting a partner. Currently we are still internal consolidation, "said Rachmat

He explained that there are several possibilities in the search for the partners. For example, it can be as a partner to build or simply in terms of project funding. While related to the process and the next phase, will mimic the Balongan refinery refinery development process has so far successfully accelerated. The scheme is the same as the later Tuban refinery project.

As is known, the post is not the continuation of cooperation with Saudi Aramco, Pertamina is asserted to be able to speed up efforts to revitalize the Balongan refinery, so it can be parallel with the completion of the Balikpapan refinery is targeted for completion in 2019.

Because, when completed later Balikpapan refinery will no longer produce a mixture of naphtha, which has been required Balongan refinery. Although not yet officially opened a beauty contest, Rachmad claims, many investors who are interested in joining a partner Pertamina, including new partners from the Middle East and Russia. There Rosneft of Russia, Iran as well, we shall see, "said Rachmat.

Balongan refinery development funding which the value of investment reached US $ 2.7 billion would come from the funds for project financing (bonds). Currently still in the process of sounding to potential partners Pertamina, said Rachmat.

Meanwhile, Komaidi Notonegoro, energy analyst from Reforminer Institute, said that, in terms of technical and business aspects, Pertamina is actually capable of developing independently Balongan refinery. This step is the same as that of the Balikpapan refinery. But be aware of the government is related to financial capability.

He suggested, funding the construction of the refinery should not only Pertamina bear. The SOEs should invite partners are welcome. Given, Pertamina's financial allocation not only for the refinery. Depending on which scheme to use, if later handed over to Pertamina, said Komaidi.

Rosneft dan Iran Berminat di Kilang Balongan

Pada Maret 2017 mendatang, PT Pertamina akan mengadakan beauty contest. Tujuannya, mencari mitra untuk pengembangan program Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) atau modernisasi peningkatan produksi untuk kilang Balongan di Jawa Barat.

Direktur Mega Proyek Pengolahan dan Petrokimia Pertamina Rachmad Hardadi menyatakan, Setelah diputuskan tidak melanjutkan kerjasama pengembangan kilang Balongan dengan Saudi Aramco, Pertamina akan mengulang kembali proses pemilihan mitra. Saat ini kami masih konsolidasi internal," kata Rachmad

Dia menerangkan, ada beberapa kemungkinan dalam pencarian mitra tersebut. Misalnya, bisa sebagai partner membangun atau hanya dalam hal pendanaan proyek. Sementara terkait proses dan tahapan selanjutnya, kilang Balongan akan meniru proses pembangunan kilang yang sejauh ini sukses dipercepat. Skemanya nanti sama dengan proyek kilang Tuban.

Seperti diketahui, pasca tidak berlanjutnya kerjasama dengan Saudi Aramco, Pertamina memang menegaskan untuk bisa mempercepat upaya revitalisasi kilang Balongan, sehingga bisa paralel dengan penyelesaian kilang Balikpapan yang ditargetkan rampung pada tahun 2019.

Pasalnya, saat rampung nanti Kilang Balikpapan tidak akan bisa lagi memproduksi campuran nafta, yang selama ini dibutuhkan kilang Balongan. Meskipun belum secara resmi membuka beauty contest, Rachmad mengklaim, sudah banyak investor yang berminat bergabung menjadi mitra Pertamina, termasuk rekanan baru dari Timur Tengah dan Rusia. Ada Rosneft dari Rusia, Iran juga, nanti kita lihat," kata Rachmad.

Pendanaan pembangunan Kilang Balongan yang nilai investasinya mencapai US$ 2,7 miliar itu akan berasal dari dana project financing (bonds). Saat ini masih dalam tahap proses sounding kepada partner-partner potensial Pertamina, kata Rachmad.

Sementara, Komaidi Notonegoro, pengamat energi dari Reforminer Institute, menyatakan, dari sisi aspek teknis dan bisnis, Pertamina sebenarnya mampu mengembangkan secara mandiri kilang Balongan. Langkah ini sama seperti yang dilakukan terhadap kilang Balikpapan. Namun yang harus diperhatikan pemerintah adalah terkait kemampuan Finansial.

Dia menyarankan, pendanaan pembangunan kilang seharusnya tidak hanya Pertamina yang menanggung. BUMN tersebut sebaiknya dipersilakan menggandeng mitra. Mengingat, alokasi keuangan Pertamina tidak hanya untuk kilang. Tergantung pakai skema yang mana, kalau nanti diserahkan ke Pertamina, kata Komaidi.

Adding EMR contract, lnpex Soon Answering

The Government adds lnpex contract in Masela to seven years. So, lnpex contract which should expire in 2028, will increase to 2035. The demand for production to 9.5 million tons per year was not granted and only by 7.5 million tons per year. Currently the government is waiting for a response lnpex Corporation about incentives that.

Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar said that according to the agreement that was discussed by the Coordinating Minister for maritime, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan. Even in accordance with the negotiations carried out in Japan some time ago. "It has been decided. Later submitted by the Coordinating Minister, said Arcandra at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Just so you know, this agreement is shorter than the demand lnpex Corporation. Masela been asked time replacement for 10 years with a production capacity of 9.5 MTPA. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources until recently it was still waiting for an official decision from lnpex related offers government incentives. Arcandra disclose, on an informal basis in fact there is an agreement between the government and the contractor.

But still have to wait for a decision formally Inpex scheduled to be delivered in the near future. We wait for letter of lnpex. Letter from Inpex, I have received, I have not checked, what has been approved. Including capacity, how long we renew the contract period.

Related to the addition of the contract, it is appropriate technically. Ie, the contractor is entitled to get the renewal period in order to ensure the economics of the project. Demand incentives of lnpex also in order to increase the internal rate of return (IRR) Masela project to 15%. But, we never set IRR of 15%, which is less than the fair, "said Arcandra. As for the revised plan of development (POD) must be the year 2017 to 2018 and the final investment decision (FID) should be the first quarter of 2019.

ESDM Menambah Kontrak, lnpex Segera Menjawab

Pemerintah menambah kontrak lnpex di Blok Masela menjadi tujuh tahun. Jadi, kontrak lnpex yang mestinya berakhir pada tahun 2028, akan bertambah menjadi tahun 2035. Sedangkan permintaan produksi menjadi 9,5 juta ton per tahun tidak dikabulkan dan hanya diberi 7,5 juta ton per tahun. Saat ini pemerintah sedang menunggu tanggapan lnpex Corporation soal insentif itu.

Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar menyatakan, kesepakatan itu sesuai dengan yang dibicarakan oleh Menteri Koordinator Kemaritiman, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan. Bahkan juga sesuai dengan negosiasi yang dilakukan di Jepang beberapa waktu lalu. Sudah diputuskan. Nanti disampaikan oleh Pak Menteri Koordinator, kata Arcandra di Kantor Kementerian ESDM.

Asal tahu saja, kesepakatan tersebut lebih pendek dibandingkan permintaan lnpex Corporation. Operator Blok Masela ini meminta waktu penggantian selama 10 tahun dengan kapasitas produksi 9,5 MTPA. Kementerian ESDM sampai saat ini pihaknya masih menunggu keputusan resmi dari lnpex terkait penawaran pemerintah dalam pemberian insentif. Arcandra mengungkapkan, secara informal sebenarnya sudah ada kesepakatan antara pemerintah dan pihak kontraktor.

Namun tetap masih harus menunggu keputusan secara formal yang rencananya akan diserahkan lnpex dalam waktu dekat. Kita menunggu Surat dari lnpex. Surat dari Inpex, saya belum terima, saya belum cek, apa yang sudah disetujui. Termasuk kapasitas, berapa lama kita perpanjang masa kontrak.

Terkait penambahan masa kontrak, sudah sesuai secara teknikal. Yakni kontraktor berhak mendapatkan masa perpanjangan agar bisa memastikan keekonomian proyek tersebut. Permintaan insentif dari lnpex juga agar bisa meningkatkan internal rate of return (IRR) proyek Masela hingga 15%. Tapi, kita tidak pernah mematok IRR 15%, yang wajar kurang dari itu," ujar Arcandra. Adapun revisi plan of development (POD) harus tahun 2017-2018 dan keputusan final investasi (FID) harus kuartal I-2019.

New Scheme Ensures Production Up

Profit Sharing Oil and Gas

Profit sharing scheme based on the gross production of oil and gas or gross split does not guarantee an increase in production and revenues. Enforcement of the scheme by the government solely to simplify administration and bureaucracy upstream sector of oil and gas in the country.

The main reason is to simplify administration and avoid the complexity of calculating cost recovery (operation costs can be replaced), "said Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Ignatius Jonan about why the government introduced the concept of gross split. When asked whether the selection of a new scheme in the form of gross split could boost oil and gas production in the country, Jonan said, do not know.

The same answer he gave when asked whether the concept of gross split could increase state revenues from oil and gas sector. All depends on oil prices. Separately, Executive Director of the Institute Komaidi Reforminer Notonegoro said the reasons for the government to simplify the paperwork and bureaucracy so that the impact on the acceleration of the oil and gas business decision making is fairly positive. 3

However, he noted, the main difficulty is to determine the model of gross split an order of magnitude for the results to the Government by the contractor, "If it does not take ~ heart, the concept of gross split could potentially reduce interest in the upstream oil and gas investment in Indonesia," said Komaidi.

The government is preparing a legal umbrella concept of gross split in the form of regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Share the results with cost recovery component is deemed potentially creating inefficiencies. Gross revenue share split scheme applied to new upstream oil and gas contracts. However, the government still honor the old contract contained a component of cost recovery.

Based on data from the Ministry of Energy regarding the amount of the cost recovery amount of oil and gas contractors in 2015. The number of cost recovery per barrel of oil equivalent each different contractor. There are companies which recorded 37.99 dollars per barrel and there are 19.82 dollars per barrel.

Skema Bagi Hasil Migas

Skema Baru Tidak Menjamin Produksi Naik

Skema bagi hasil berdasarkan produksi kotor minyak dan gas bumi atau gross split tidak menjamin kenaikan produksi dan penerimaan negara. Pemberlakuan skema itu oleh pemerintah semata-mata untuk menyederhanakan administrasi dan birokrasi sektor hulu minyak dan gas bumi di dalam negeri.

Alasan utama adalah untuk mempermudah administrasi dan menghindari keruwetan penghitungan cost recovery (biaya operasi yang dapat digantikan),” kata Menteri Energi dan Surnber Daya Mineral Ignasius Jonan mengenai alasan pemerintah memberlakukan konsep gross split. Saat ditanya apakah pilihan Skema baru berupa gross split bisa mendongkrak produksi migas di dalam negeri, Jonan menjawab, tidak tahu.

Jawaban yang sama juga ia sampaikan saat ditanya, apakah konsep gross split bisa meningkatkan penerimaan negara dari sektor migas. Semua tergantung pada harga minyak. Secara terpisah, Direktur Eksekutif Reforminer Institute Komaidi Notonegoro mengatakan, alasan pemerintah menyederhanakan urusan administrasi dan birokrasi sehingga berdampak pada percepatan pengambilan keputusan bisnis migas terbilang positif. 3

Namun, ia mencatat, kesulitan utama model gross split adalah menentukan tingkat besaran bagi hasil yang menjadi hak negara dengan kontraktor, ”Apabila tidak berhati~hati, konsep gross split bisa berpotensi menurunkan minat terhadap investasi hulu migas di Indonesia,” kata Komaidi.

Pemerintah sedang menyiapkan payung hukum konsep gross split dalam bentuk peraturan Menteri ESDM, Bagi hasil dengan komponen cost recovery dipandang berpotensi menciptakan inefisiensi. Skema bagi hasil gross split diterapkan pada kontrak hulu migas yang baru. Namun, pemerintah tetap menghormati kontrak lama yang terdapat komponen cost recovery.

Berdasarkan data Kementerian ESDM mengenai besaran cost recovery sejumlah kontraktor migas pada 2015. angka cost recovery per barrel setara minyak setiap kontraktor berbeda-beda. Ada perusahaan yang tercatat 37,99 dollar AS per barrel dan ada yang 19,82 dollar AS per barrel.

In construction work over there that contain B3 (Hazardous Materials Toxic). Such as iron tubs and plastic tub. If asked residents how? For waste containing B3 Lapindo will not allow to be asked by citizens.

B3 waste will be disposed of and sent to Bandung to be destroyed. Indeed, when the sale price is expensive, but the risk is Lapindo is responsible, Yoyo said. Lapindo will allow waste requested by residents, but that is not harmful to the environment. Ever place around the village of Wunut Porong, waste was made bath tub. Because it still contains B3, the body of citizens blister. Lapindo is responsible, from experience, we do not allow to be asked citizens.

Saat ini, sumur gas tersebut diwork over(pembersihan sumur). Informasi dari warga, lokasi sumur tersebut tepat dibelakang balai desa setempat. Sudah sekitar 2 pekan rencana work over dipersiapkan oleh pihak Lapindo.

Mulai dari persiapan alat berat sudah dikirim ke lokasi. Para pekerja teknik dibidang work over dari berbagai mitra perusahaan Lapindo sudah dikerahkan. Mulai perizinan ke warga hingga kepala desa setempat. Hingga pemberitahuan dari Forum Pimpinan Kecamatan Tulangan juga sudah dilakukan Lapindo.

Public Relation Manager Lapindo Brantas Inc Arief Setyo Widodo membenarkan bila di Desa Jiken Tulangan ada aktifitas work over. Work over tersebut merupakan program lanjutan tahun sebelumnya. “Sumur gas di Desa Jiken Tulangan itu disebut sumur Wunut 16. Program itu merupakan program lanjutan kemarin. Dari 11 sumur, masih tinggal 3 sumur yang belum di work over. Yakni sumur Wunut 16 (Desa Jiken) yang saat ini mulai proses dikerjakan. Dua sumur lainnya, sumur Wunut 15 lokasinya di Desa Persawahan Porong dan sumur Wunut 7 lokasinya di Desa Waung Krembung.

Ditanya mengenai produksi gas Lapindo, apakah ada peningkatan atau kemrosotan, Yoyok mengatakan produksinya masih stabil tetap seperti tahun kemarin. Yakni sekitar 5 MMSCFD. Saat ini, Lapindo mengelola 30 sumur gas yang tersebar di Kecamatan Tanggulangin, Krembung, dan Porong. Namun, dari 30 sumur itu, hanya 14 sumur yang masih produktif.

Dari 14 sumur produktif, sebanyak 11 sumur berada di Wunut, Kecamatan Porong, dengan produksi gas total 3 MMSCFD. Adapun tiga sumur lagi berada di Kecamatan Tanggulangin dengan produksi gas mencapai 5 MMSCFD. Dalam pengerjaan work over, ada yang mengandung limbah B3 (Bahan Berbahaya Beracun). Seperti bak besi dan bak plastik. Jika diminta  warga bagaimana? Untuk limbah yang mengandung B3 pihak Lapindo tidak akan mengijinkan untuk diminta oleh warga.

Limbah B3 akan dibuang dan dikirim ke Bandung untuk dimusnahkan. Memang bila dijual harganya mahal, tapi resikonya Lapindo yang bertanggung jawab, kata Yoyok. Lapindo akan memperbolehkan limbah diminta oleh warga, namun yang tidak berbahaya bagi lingkungan. Pernah terjadi disekitar desa Wunut Porong, limbah bak itu dibuat bak mandi. Karena masih mengandung B3, tubuh warga melepuh. Lapindo yang bertanggung-jawab, dari pengalaman itu, kami tidak membolehkan untuk diminta warga.

Meanwhile, the price of Brent oil heats up 23.39%.

Barnabas Gan, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore, said the market will focus on stabilizing crude oil supply agreement. Realization of production cuts could bring crude oil prices towards $ 65 per barrel by the end of this year. "Still need time to see whether the decrease in production agreements made last year can be actualized.

Agreement in question refers to the agreement of OPEC members at the meeting of 50 November 2016 to cut output by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 32.5 million bpd from the start of 2017. Furthermore, on December 10, 2016, a number of other crude oil producing countries agree lowering the amount of 558,000 bpd of new supply. This means that, starting in 2017, the crude oil market will be a shortage of new supply of oil nearly 1.8 million bpd.

Albilad Capital investment banking firm, expressed in oil prices has improved along with the reduced surplus supply. In the first quarter / 2016, the surplus amounted to 2.27 million bpd supply gradually fall towards 190,000 bpd in the quarter III/2016.

Saudi Arabia's production level will drop to 10.06 million bpd from 10.39 million bpd in 2016 number. According to Gan, in the near future the oil price has not increased significantly due to the level of production in December 2016 tall one. Signs of supply cuts are also not encouraging.

CROP PRODUCTION

In early 2017, Kuwait is a member of OPEC cut output by 130,000 barrels to 2.75 million barrels per day. Meanwhile, Oman cut 45,000 barrels towards the 1.01 million barrels per day. Based on the sun / ei Bloomberg, adherence to the agreement began to be seen in the projected OPEC production in December 2016 period amounted to 33.1 million bpd, which fell 1.04 bpd from 34.14 bpd in November 2016.

Production of Libya and the United Arab Emirates continues to increase each 50,000 bpd and 10,000 bpd on a monthly basis (month on month / mom). The biggest cuts came from Nigeria supply 200,000 bpd mom over the issue of terrorist attacks in the country.

One of the officials of the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) said it will still be pumping 700,000 bpd of production towards. Because, Libya needs to restore the country's revenue after mining constraints due to militant attack.

From non-member states, Russia as the largest oil producer in the world continue to spur the supply of 11.21 million bpd in December 2016, or the same as the previous month. This makes the average production of Red Bear State in 2016, up 0.54 million bpd to 10.96 million bpd from 10.72 million bpd in 2015 number.

Now, Russia is preparing a production cut of 300,000 bpd during the first half of 2017 as part of an agreement with OPEC and other oil producing countries. Fresh breeze on the oil market comes from the United States. American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated oil reserves by the United States last week fell 7.43 million barrels. Official data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) newly released Thursday (5/1) local time. Recently Reviewed December 23, 2016, US crude stocks reached 486.06 million barrels, up 35.1 million barrels from a year earlier.

Putu Agus Pransuamitra, Research and Analyst PT Monex lnvestindo Futures, said the continuation of the crude oil price will wait for the implementation of production cuts earlier this year. In the near future there is still no satisfactory information barely However, the positive sentiment from the reduction in potential supply surplus hoist WTI oil prices towards $ 65 per barrel by the end of 2017.

Reduced supply will hoist the price of oil, which is also the positive sentiment for other commodities. The market is still waiting for the implementation of it.

Menanti Realisasi Pengurangan Produksi

Belum memuaskannya pemangkasan produksi membuat harga minyak mentah hanya menguat terbatas. Namun, bila kesepakatan pemotongan suplai dilakukan, harga diproyeksi bisa menyentuh level US$ 65 per barel pada akhir tahun ini.

Pada perdagangan Kamis (5/1) pukul 16:33 WIB, harga minyak WTI kontrak Februari 2017 berada di posisi US$ 53,09 per barel, turun 0,17 poin atau 0,32%. Sementara itu, harga minyak Brent kontrak Februari 2017 bertengger di US$ 56,25 per barel, merosot 0,21 poin atau 0,37%. Untuk kontrak yang sama, pada tahun lalu harga minyak WTI berhasil meningkat 20,48%. Adapun, harga minyak Brent memanas 23,39%.

Barnabas Gan, ekonom Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. di Singapura, mengatakan pasar akan berfokus kepada perjanjian menstabilkan suplai minyak mentah. Realisasi pemangkasan produksi dapat membawa harga minyak mentah menuju US$65 per barel pada akhir tahun ini. “Masih butuh waktu untuk melihat apakah perjanjian penurunan produksi yang dibuat tahun lalu dapat diaktualisasikan.

Perjanjian yang dimaksud mengacu pada kesepakatan anggota OPEC pada rapat 50 November 2016 untuk memangkas produksi sebesar 1,2 juta barel per hari (bph) menjadi 32,5 juta bph mulai awal 2017. Selanjutnya pada 10 Desember 2016, sejumlah negara produsen minyak mentah lainnya setuju menurunkan suplai baru sejumlah 558.000 bph. Artinya, mulai 2017, pasar minyak mentah akan kekurangan pasokan baru minyak hampir 1,8 juta bph.

Perusahaan bank investasi Albilad Capital, menyampaikan harga minyak semakin membaik seiring dengan berkurangnya surplus pasokan. Pada kuartal I/2016, surplus pasokan sebesar 2,27 juta bph berangsur turun menuju 190.000 bph pada kuartal III/2016. Turki Fadaak, Research & Advisory Manager Albilad Capital, menuturkan dengan adanya pemangkasan produksi OPEC dan negara produsen lain harga minyak 2017 akan tumbuh di kisaran US$ 51 per barel.

Tingkat produksi Arab Saudi akan turun menjadi 10,06 juta bph dari 2016 sejumlah 10,39 juta bph. Menurut Gan, dalam waktu dekat harga minyak belum meningkat signifikan akibat tingkat produksi pada Desember 2016 yang tinggi. Tanda-tanda pemangkasan suplai juga belum menggembirakan.

PANGKAS PRODUKSI

Pada awal 2017, Kuwait sebagai salah satu anggota OPEC memangkas produksi sebesar 130.000 barel menjadi 2,75 juta barel per hari. Sementara itu, Oman memangkas 45.000 barel menuju 1,01 juta barel per hari. Berdasarkan sun/ei Bloomberg, kepatuhan terhadap kesepakatan mulai terlihat dalam proyeksi produksi OPEC periode Desember 2016 sebesar 33,1 juta bph yang turun 1,04 bph dari 34,14 bph pada November 2016.

Produksi Libya dan Uni Arab Emirat tetap meningkat masing-masing 50.000 bph serta 10.000 bph secara bulanan (month on month/ mom). Adapun pemangkasan suplai terbesar datang dari Nigeria sejumlah 200.000 bph mom akibat masalah serangan teroris di dalam negeri.

Salah satu pejabat Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC) mengatakan pihaknya masih akan memompa produksi menuju 700.000 bph. Pasalnya, Libya perlu memulihkan pemasukan negara setelah hambatan penambangan akibat serangan kelompok militan.

Dari negara non-anggota, Rusia sebagai produsen minyak terbesar di dunia tetap memacu suplai sebesar 11,21 juta bph pada Desember 2016, atau sama dengan bulan sebelumnya. Ini membuat rerata produksi Negeri Beruang Merah pada 2016 naik 0,54 juta bph menjadi 10,96 juta bph dari 2015 sejumlah 10,72 juta bph.

Kini, Rusia sedang mempersiapkan pemangkasan produksi sebesar 300.000 bph selama paruh pertama 2017, sebagai bagian perjanjian dengan OPEC dan negara produsen minyak lainnya. Angin segar terhadap pasar minyak datang dari Amerika Serikat. American Petroleum Institute (API) memperkirakan persediaan minyak negeri Paman Sam pada pekan lalu turun 7,43 juta barel. Data resmi dari US Energy Information Administration (EIA) baru dirilis Kamis (5/1) waktu setempat. Terakhir pada 23 Desember 2016, stok minyak mentah AS mencapai 486,06 juta barel, naik 35,1 juta barel dari awal tahun.

Putu Agus Pransuamitra, Research and Analyst PT Monex lnvestindo Futures, mengatakan kelanjutan harga minyak mentah akan menunggu implementasi pemangkasan produksi pada awal tahun ini. Dalam waktu dekat masih belum ada informasi yang memuaskan pasar Namun demikian, sentimen positif dari berkurangnya surplus suplai berpotensi mengerek harga minyak WTI menuju US$ 65 per barel pada akhir 2017.

Berkurangnya suplai bakal mengerek harga minyak, yang juga jadi sentimen positif bagi komoditas lainnya. Pasar masih menunggu implementasi itu.
