Impor BBM Plus 4.2 Million Barrels

PT Pertamina increased imports of fuel oil (BBM) 4.2 million barrels consists of 1.2 million barrels of diesel and 3 million barrels Premium and Pertamax to replace the incoming supply Balongan refinery maintenance schedule (turn around). Senior Vice President of Integrated Supply Chain Pertamina Daniel S. Purba said, care Balongan refinery with a capacity of 125,000 barrels per day (bpd) from January 23 to February 23, 2017. Therefore, the company must seek additional supply of diesel, Premium and Pertamax.

He explained that Pertamina is no longer importing diesel. However, to cover the supply of Balongan refinery, the company had to import 1.2 million barrels of diesel fuel. Meanwhile, imports Premium and Pertamax 3 million barrels. Daniel added that the impact of treatment refineries located in Indramayu, West Java, Company must maintain a balance stocks of fuel oil from 19 days to a range of 20-24 days.

During this time, Balongan refinery produces more Premium and Pertamax. Meanwhile, import additional diesel fuel is also influenced by rising demand in the country due to the improved performance of the mining sector following the strengthening of the price of coal. "That we balikin more stock. So there is no plan to import, suddenly we have to import, "he said.

It causes fuel imports in 2017 up from its original projection of 8 million barrels per month to 11 million barrels per month. According to him, and the target fuel imports 8 million barrels per month in 2017 consists of Premium and Pertamax each of 4 million barrels per month. Daniel insists, despite fuel oil consumption this year is projected to rise 5%, imports will remain intact because domestic refinery capacity also rose.

The national oil refining capacity will be increased from 830,000 bpd to 900,000 bpd this year, assuming some refinery maintenance schedule. "Imports will be 50:50 or less, so if we are 8 million barrels per month, 4 million barrels per month PERTAMAX, 4 million barrels per month Premium," he said.

Pertamina processing director Toharso added, all refineries have a different maintenance schedule. The Company, he said, had anticipated the cessation of its refinery operations due to various factors such as routine maintenance and others that fuel supply is maintained

Impor BBM Ditambah 4,2 Juta Barel

PT Pertamina  menambah impor bahan bakar minyak (BBM) 4,2 juta barel terdiri dari 1,2 juta barel solar dan 3 juta barel Premium dan Pertamax untuk menggantikan pasokan Kilang Balongan yang masuk jadwal perawatan (turn around). Senior Vice President Integrated Supply Chain Pertamina Daniel S. Purba mengatakan, perawatan Kilang Balongan yang berkapasitas 125.000 barel per hari (bph) mulai 23 Januari-23 Februari 2017. Oleh karena itu, perseroan harus mencari tambahan suplai solar, Premium, dan Pertamax. 

Dia menjelaskan, Pertamina sudah tidak lagi mengimpor solar. Namun, untuk menutupi pasokan dari Kilang Balongan, perseroan harus impor solar 1,2 juta barel. Sementara itu, impor Premium dan Pertamax 3 juta barel. Daniel menambahkan, dampak dari perawatan kilang minyak yang berlokasi di Indramayu, Jawa Barat itu, perseroan harus menjaga keseimbangan stok bahan bakar minyak dari 19 hari menjadi kisaran 20-24 hari.

Selama ini, Kilang Balongan menghasilkan lebih banyak Premium dan Pertamax. Sementara itu, tambahan impor solar juga dipengaruhi naiknya permintaan di dalam negeri akibat meningkatnya kinerja sektor pertambangan menyusul penguatan harga batu bara. “Itu kita balikin lagi stoknya. Jadi memang tidak ada rencana impor, mendadak kita harus impor,” katanya.

Hal itu menyebabkan impor BBM pada 2017 naik dari proyeksi semula 8 juta barel per bulan menjadi 11 juta barel per bulan. Menurutnya, dan target impor BBM 8 juta barel per bulan pada 2017 terdiri dari Premium dan Pertamax masing-masing 4 juta barel per bulan. Daniel menegaskan, kendati konsumsi bahan bakar minyak pada tahun ini diproyeksi naik 5%, impor akan tetap terjaga karena kapasitas kilang dalam negeri juga naik.

Kapasitas kilang minyak nasional akan dinaikan dari 830.000 bph menjadi 900.000 bph pada tahun ini dengan asumsi beberapa jadwal perawatan kilang. “Impor akan jadi 50:50 kurang lebih, jadi kalau kita 8 juta barel per bulan, 4 juta barel per bulan Pertamax, 4 juta barel per bulan Premium,” katanya.

Direktur Pengolahan Pertamina Toharso menambahkan, semua kilang minyak memiliki jadwal perawatan berbeda-beda. Perseroan, katanya, telah mengantisipasi berhentinya operasi kilang karena berbagai faktor seperti perawatan rutin dan lainnya agar pasokan bahan bakar tetap terjaga

Cracks Broker Closed

Industrial Gas Imports Opened

     The government set up the rules of imported gas for a number of manufacturing industries by closing the role of an intermediary or broker, in order to get a cheaper price.

Minister of Industry Airlangga Hananto said President Joko Widodo has been allowed to do in order to guarantee the supply of gas imports for the industry. Towards the end of last year, the government to realize the promise of cutting the price of gas for the fertilizer industry, petrochemical and steel fell by US $ 1.5 to a maximum of US $ 6 per MMBtu began in 2017. Meanwhile, four other sectors and three additional sector has not been able to enjoy cheap gas.

Coordinating Minister for the maritime Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan ensure the rule will be completed within the next two weeks. "Lmpornya anyone else formulated by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Minister of Industry in two weeks," he said.

In detail, the Secretary of State Pramono Agung explained several countries have offered to Indonesian gas at very low prices. Those countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Qatar. Pramono said that the current average price of gas in the Middle East amounted to US $ 3 per MMBtu to US $ 3.5 per MMBtu. Coupled with the cost of transportation and others, the average gas price is only US $ 4.5 per MMBtu. The price was lower than the maximum industrial gas price of US $ 6 / MMBtu correspond Minister Regulation No.40 / 2016 on Natural Gas Prices for Certain industries, with effect from January 1, 2017

"So the price of gas can be controlled, imports are only allowed for industries that require permits and it is enforced by the government. Not opened mang for the creation of an intermediary, "he said. According to him, President Joko Widodo has been assigned the Minister of Industry, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, and Menten Coordinator of Economic Affairs to make a list of the main industry is allowed to import gas. The President also sent three ministers to arrange gas import mechanism which did not leave the slightest loophole for intermediaries to be involved. Is direct, the state will oversee the process without involving a third party, "added Pramono.

SUPPLY ENOUGH

Concerns about the intermediary, which caused the price of gas is expensive, it is a concern to industry players. Not to mention the matter of realization of Energy and Mineral Resources Ministerial Decree NO. 4/2016. Chairman of the Association of Industrial Rubber Gloves Achmad Safiun assess gas import policy just because the supply in the country is actually sufficient. "If [be] imports, mafia more pleased. Now the price of gas can be expensive because of what? October 4 last, he promised two months implemented [limitation price of gas], but until now nothing is clear. I have reported to the Ombudsman, "he said.

Chairman of the Association of Sheet and Safety Glass Justin Gunawan assess the price of cheap gas could encourage industry to boost exports at the same time prevent the entry of imports. He compared the price of gas in Malaysia is only around US $ 5 per MMBtu. "The speed and decisiveness of government in ensuring price reduction is crucial.

In addition to restoring the existing industries, can also attract investment, "he said. Gas import plans also sparked criticism from some observers because the government considered inconsistent. Because the opening tap new import originally performed in 2019 in accordance with the projected increase in gas consumption in the country.

Observers energy and Trisakti University Pri Agung Rakhmanto considers liquefied natural gas import option is not the solution to get a bargain price for the industry. He explained that the LNG price still must be added the cost of transportation and re-gasification. He said, the LNG cargo which arrived Hattush lining up re-gasification facilities for the number of regasification infrastructure in the country is still limited. Currently, there are only three regasification facilities are floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) Arun, Lampung FSRU, and FSRU in north Jakarta. "Who does it is definitely cheaper imports? Landed price here how? Definitely more than US $ 7, "he said.

According to him, the government should look at a more comprehensive economic framework in the oil and gas industry. lmpor LNG will suppress the upstream oil and gas industry in Indonesia. On the other hand, domestic production will be many more who do not teiserap with a flood of LNG from abroad. In fact, every year, he said, the government still has to ration domestic LNG cargo that has not been absorbed as from Bontang and Tangguh.

Based on data from the Ministry of Energy, uncommitted volume (not yet contracted) by 2017 as many as 63 LNG cargoes, and 2018 as many as 60 cargoes. This figure will rise in 2024 to 90 101 cargo and cargo in 2025 in line with increasing domestic demand while supply from the Abadi field, Masela not been inserted and supply and Tangguh has declined

IMPOR GAS INDUSTRI DIBUKA

Celah Broker Ditutup

    Pemerintah menyiapkan aturan main impor gas bagi sejumlah industri manufaktur dengan menutup peran perantara atau broker, demi mendapatkan harga lebih murah.

Menteri Perindustrian Airlangga Hananto mengatakan Presiden Joko Widodo sudah mengizinkan untuk dilakukan impor gas guna menjamin suplai bagi industri. Menjelang akhir tahun lalu, pemerintah merealisasikan janji memotong harga gas bagi industri pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja yang turun hingga US$ 1,5 menjadi maksimal US$ 6 per MMBtu mulai 2017. Adapun, empat sektor lainnya dan tiga sektor tambahan belum dapat menikmati gas murah. 

Menteri Koordinator bidang Kemaritiman Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan memastikan aturan main akan diselesaikan dalam dua pekan ke depan. “lmpor-nya siapa saja lagi dirumuskan oleh Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral serta Menteri Perindustrian dalam dua pekan ini,” ujarnya.

Secara rinci, Sekretaris Negara Pramono Anung menjelaskan beberapa negara sudah menawarkan gas kepada Indonesia dengan harga sangat rendah. Negara-negara itu, di antaranya Arab Saudi, Iran, dan Qatar. Pramono menuturkan saat ini rata-rata harga gas di Timur Tengah sebesar US$ 3 per MMBtu hingga US$3,5 per MMBtu. Ditambah dengan ongkos transportasi dan lain-lain, rata-rata harga jual gas hanya US$ 4,5 per MMBtu. Harga itu lebih rendah dari harga gas industri maksimal US$ 6/MMBtu sesuai Peraturan Menteri ESDM No.40/2016 tentang Harga Gas Bumi untuk industri Tertentu, yang berlaku mulai 1 Januari 2017

“Supaya harga gas bisa dikontrol, impor dibolehkan hanya untuk industri-industri yang memerlukan dan itu diberlakukan izin oleh pemerintah. Tidak dibuka mang untuk terciptanya perantara,” tegasnya. Menurutnya, Presiden Joko Widodo sudah menugaskan Menteri Perindustrian, Menteri ESDM, dan Menten Koordinator bidang Perekonomian untuk membuat daftar industri utama mana saja yang boleh mengimpor gas. Presiden juga menugaskan tiga menteri tersebut untuk menyusun mekanisme impor gas yang tidak memberikan celah sedikit pun bagi perantara untuk terlibat. Adalah direct, negara akan mengawasi proses tersebut tanpa melibatkan pihak ketiga,” tambah Pramono.

SUPLAI CUKUP

Kekhawatiran soal perantara, yang menyebabkan harga gas mahal, memang menjadi kekhawatiran pelaku industri. Belum lagi soal realisasi Peraturan Menteri ESDM NO. 4/2016. Ketua Umum Asosiasi Industri Sarung Tangan Karet Achmad Safiun menilai kebijakan impor gas hanya karena suplai dalam negeri sebetulnya mencukupi. “Kalau [boleh] impor, mafia lebih senang. Sekarang harga gas bisa mahal karena apa? 4 Oktober lalu, janjinya dua bulan diimplementasikan [batasan harga gas], tetapi sampai sekarang tidak ada yang jelas. Saya sudah lapor ke Ombudsman,” katanya. 

Ketua Asosiasi Kaca Lembaran dan Pengaman Yustinus Gunawan menilai harga gas murah dapat mendorong industri menggenjot ekspor sekaligus menangkal masuknya impor. Dia membandingkan harga gas di Malaysia yang hanya sekitar US$ 5 per MMBtu. “Kecepatan dan ketegasan pemerintah dalam memastikan penurunan harga sangat krusial. 

Selain bisa memulihkan industri yang ada, juga bisa menarik investasi,” ujarnya. Rencana impor gas juga memantik kritik dari sejumlah pengamat karena pemerintah dianggap tak konsisten. Pasalnya, pembukaan keran impor sedianya baru dilakukan pada 2019 sesuai dengan proyeksi peningkatan konsumsi gas di dalam negeri.

Pengamat energi dan Universitas Trisakti Pri Agung Rakhmanto menganggap opsi impor gas alam cair bukanlah solusi untuk mendapatkan harga murah bagi industri. Dia menjelaskan harga beli LNG tetap harus ditambah biaya transportasi dan re-gasifikasi. Dia menyebut, kargo LNG yang tiba hatus mengantre diregasifikasi karena jumlah infrastruktur fasilitas re-gasifikasi di Tanah Air masih terbatas. Saat ini, hanya terdapat tiga fasilitas re-gasifikasi yaitu floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) Arun, FSRU Lampung, dan FSRU di sebelah utara Jakarta. “Memangnya impor sudah pasti lebih murah? Landed price di sini berapa? Pasti lebih dari US$ 7," katanya.

Menurutnya, pemerintah harus melihat lebih komprehensif kerangka ekonomi di industri migas. lmpor LNG akan menekan industri hulu migas di Indonesia. Di sisi lain, produksi domestik akan semakin banyak yang tak teiserap dengan membanjirnya LNG dari luar negeri. Bahkan, setiap tahun, katanya, pemerintah masih memiliki kargo LNG untuk jatah domestik yang belum terserap seperti dari Bontang dan Tangguh. 

Berdasarkan data Kementerian ESDM, volume uncommitted (yang belum terkontrak) LNG pada 2017 sebanyak 63 kargo, dan 2018 sebanyak 60 kargo. Angka ini akan meningkat pada 2024 menjadi 90 kargo dan 101 kargo pada 2025 seiring dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan domestik ketika pasokan dari Lapangan Abadi, Blok Masela belum dimasukkan dan pasokan dan Tangguh telah mengalami penurunan

Increase Capacity of Industrial Technology Task Force

Joint Operating Body Pertamina Petrochina East Java (JOB PPEJ) worked with the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) Surabaya and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Tuban conduct capacity building activities Officer for Disaster Management Unit (Task PB) failure of industrial technology.

The event was followed by 60 people was held for three days from January 24 to 26. The first day was held briefing material and field practices in vertical rescue agency Basarnas Surabaya. On the second day, the practice field in the river water rescue Songa, Probolinggo. And the last day covered by the exercise participants at Mount Bromo.

Chief Executive BPBDs Ludiyono Tuban regency Joko said in his opening address activities, geographical, climatological and hydrological Tuban has the potential hazards are quite large. It is based on the results of disaster risk assessments conducted BNPB in 2013.

"The value of disaster risk index for Tuban achieve a score of 175. That value includes high-class disaster risks. Tuban ranks 145 out of 496 districts / cities in Indonesia is prone to disaster risks," he was accompanied by the Head of Prevention and Preparedness Disaster Preparedness Amperawanto Rizal.

According to him, in Tuban stood several national and even international companies engaged in the business of mining. Among these PPEJ JOB, PT TPPI, PT Semen Indonesia, PT Holchim, power plants and other Tanjung Awar Awar. In addition to the benefits of increased economic, need to be aware of the negative impact of production operations that pose potential hazards around the business location.

"Failure of the technology industry and the impact of one of the hazards caused by non-natural factors. It could be a failure of technology, modernization failed, epidemics and outbreaks of disease," he said.

He explained that the potential hazards can be minimized by increasing the understanding of the community around the site PPEJ JOB industry. This is so that they know what to do if an emergency occurs as a result of operating activities. Namely, provide competency training to the public on the potential hazards and establish Emergency Response Team (ERT) to communities Rahayu Village District of Soko, Tuban.

"The government is grateful to the company JOB PPEJ which has facilitated the implementation of a series of activities. Start socialization and establishment of disaster resilient village (Destana) on January 12, 2017 and simulations Table Top Exercise (TTX) January 17, 2017. Today is the third activity to increase the capacity of the Task Force PB failure of the technology industry. another company is expected to emulate the steps JOB PPEJ.

Staff Health Safety Environmental (HSE) JOB PPEJ Awali Hendra Putra added, capacity building task force PB industrial technological failures also followed from internal sources as many as 11 people. All 11 were made up of HSE staff and Public Relations JOB PPEJ. "We here are trained to rescue the victims, in case of emergency or failure of industrial technology in the enterprise and the community around the company.

He said the activity today is the third series of events, which previously have been done Destana formation and simulation TTX. This is a routine activity every year. But in previous years just exercise alone. From the review, it turns out we need his personal capacity development and debriefing. We dijuga trained to face the fire

Tingkatkan Kapasitas Satgas Teknologi Industri

Perusahaan Joint Operating Body Pertamina Petrochina East Java (JOB PPEJ) menggandeng Badan SAR Nasional (Basarnas) Surabaya dan Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) Kabupaten Tuban mengadakan kegiatan peningkatan kapasitas Satuan Petugas Penanggulangan Bencana (Satgas PB) kegagalan teknologi industri.

Acara yang di ikuti sebanyak 60 orang ini dilaksanakan selama tiga hari mulai 24-26 Januari. Hari pertama diadakan pembekalan materi dan praktik lapangan vertical rescue di kantor Basarnas Surabaya. Pada hari kedua, praktik lapangan water rescue di sungai Songa, Probolinggo. Dan hari terakhir ditutup dengan latihan fisik peserta di Gunung Bromo.

Kepala Pelaksana BPBD Kabupaten Tuban Joko Ludiyono dalam sambutan pembukaan kegiatan mengatakan, secara geografis, klimatologis dan hidrologis wilayah Tuban memiliki potensi ancaman bencana yang cukup besar. Ini berdasarkan hasil kajian risiko bencana yang dilakukan BNPB pada tahun 2013.

"Nilai indeks risiko bencana untuk Tuban mencapai skor 175. Nilai itu termasuk klas risiko bencana tinggi. Tuban menempati urutan 145 dari 496 kabupaten/kota se Indonesia yang rawan atas risiko bencana," katanya didampingi Kabid Pencegahan dan Kesiap siagaan Bencana Rizal Amperawanto.

Menurut dia, di Tuban berdiri beberapa perusahaan nasional bahkan Internasional yang bergerak di bidang usaha tambang. Di antaranya JOB PPEJ, PT TPPI, PT Semen Indonesia, PT Holchim, PLTU Tanjung Awar Awar dan lainnya. Selain manfaat peningkatan ekonomi, perlu diwaspadai dampak negatif dari kegiatan operasi produksi yang menimbulkan potensi ancaman bencana di sekitar lokasi usaha.

"Kegagalan teknologi dan dampak industri salah satu ancaman bencana yang diakibatkan faktor non alam. Bisa berupa gagal teknologi, gagal modernisasi, epidemi dan wabah penyakit," tuturnya.

Dia menjelaskan, potensi ancaman bencana itu bisa diminimalisir dengan meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat di sekitar lokasi industri JOB PPEJ. Ini agar mereka mengetahui harus berbuat apa, apabila terjadi kondisi darurat akibat kegiatan operasi. Yakni, memberikan pelatihan kompetensi kepada masyarakat atas potensi ancaman bencana dan membentuk Emergency Response Team (ERT) kepada masyarakat Desa Rahayu Kecamatan Soko, Tuban.

"Pemerintah berterima kasih kepada perusahaan JOB PPEJ yang telah memfasilitasi terselenggaranya serangkaian kegiatan. Mulai sosialisasi dan pembentukan desa tangguh bencana (Destana) pada 12 Januari 2017 dan simulasi Table Top Exercise (TTX) 17 Januari 2017. Hari ini adalah kegiatan ketiga untuk meningkatkan kapasitas Satgas PB kegagalan teknologi industri. Perusahaan lain diharap bisa meniru langkah JOB PPEJ.

Legal Certainty Pull Oil and Gas Investors

Global investment in the upstream sector of the oil and gas this year, according to consulting firm Wood Mackenzie forecast Asia Pacific, will rise 3% over the past year, to $ 450 billion. The trigger, among others, to reduce costs and shift its capital allocation of large projects into smaller projects.

Indonesia should be able to capture that opportunity. However, according to MacKenzie, Indonesia would likely face at least two problems:

First, the lack of oil and gas exploration in Indonesia some time lately to lower perceptions about the outlook for oil and gas investment. "Based on studies MacKenzie, oil and gas investment attractiveness actually have high fiscal and prospects. However, if there is no improvement, the perception may decline, "said MacKenzie Asia Pacific Research Director Andrew Harwood in Singapore.

Second, regulatory uncertainty. "Regulation is subject to change and mismatch between the central and regional policies are just two examples of uncertainty," said Harwood to a number of leaders in the Indonesian media exposure was initiated by SKK Migas.

Therefore, MacKenzie submitted three recommendations relating to production sharing contract so that Indonesia can enjoy the increase in investment in upstream oil and gas sector.

First, reduce administrative and regulatory barriers for investors.

Second, give greater confidence to investors to explore efficiently.

Third, the key risks will determine whether the investor gets the desired results under the new revenue sharing system.

The price of gas

MacKenzie also conducted a study of gas prices in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the price of gas is determined agreement with a buyer or a fixed price. Meanwhile, other countries determine based on the price of oil. "The price of gas (piped gas) inside Indonesia relatively below the average price of gas in Asian countries," said Johan Top Hardi, upstream oil and gas analyst MacKenzie Asia Pacific.

However, according to him, Indonesia gas prices that are fixed price will be affected by the determination of gas prices in other countries. Moreover, in the future, Indonesia will be reduced gas and Indonesia will become a gas importer. Therefore, Indonesia must determine gas prices according to the price of oil.

Information SKK Migas said Indonesia now pricing scheme based on the price of oil. As for the fixed price scheme applies to long-term contracts.

Kepastian Hukum Tarik Investor Migas

Investasi global di sektor hulu minyak dan gas tahun ini, menurut prediksi perusahaan konsultan Wood Mackenzie Asia Pasifik, akan naik 3% ketimbang tahun lalu, menjadi US$ 450 miliar. Pemicunya, antara lain turunnya ongkos produksi serta beralih-nya alokasi kapital dari proyek-proyek besar ke proyek-proyek lebih kecil.

Indonesia mestinya bisa menangkap peluang itu. Namun, menurut MacKenzie, Indonesia justru akan menghadapi paling tidak dua persoalan :

Pertama, minimnya eksplorasi migas di Indonesia beberapa waktu belakangan ini bisa menurunkan persepsi tentang prospek investasi migas. “Berdasar studi MacKenzie, investasi migas sebetulnya punya daya tarik fiskal dan prospek tinggi. Namun, bila tidak ada perbaikan, persepsi tersebut bisa menurun,” kata Direktur Riset MacKenzie Asia Pasifik Andrew Harwood di Singapura.

Kedua, ketidakpastian regulasi. “Regulasi yang bisa berubah-ubah dan ketidak sesuaian kebijakan antara pusat-daerah merupakan dua contoh ketidakpastian itu,” ujar Harwood kepada sejumlah pemimpin media massa Indonesia dalam pemaparan yang digagas SKK Migas. 

Oleh karena itu, MacKenzie mengajukan tiga rekomendasi terkait dengan production sharing contract agar Indonesia bisa menikmati kenaikan investasi di sektor hulu migas. 

Pertama, mengurangi hambatan administrasi dan regulasi bagi investor. 

Kedua, memberi kepercayaan lebih besar kepada investor untuk eksplorasi secara efisien. 

Ketiga, risiko-risiko kunci akan menentukan apakah investor mendapat hasil yang diinginkan di bawah sistem bagi hasil yang baru. 

Harga gas 

MacKenzie juga melakukan studi harga gas di Indonesia. Di Indonesia, harga gas ditentukan kesepakatan dengan pembeli atau fixed price. Sementara itu, negara lain menentukan berdasarkan harga minyak. “Harga gas pipa (piped gas) dalam negeri Indonesia relatif di bawah rata-rata harga gas di negara-negara Asia,” kata Johan Hardi Utama, analis hulu migas MacKenzie Asia Pasifik.

Namun, menurutnya, harga gas Indonesia yang bersifat fixed price akan dipengaruhi penentuan harga gas negara lain. Apalagi, di masa depan, gas Indonesia akan berkurang dan Indonesia akan menjadi importir gas. Oleh karena itu, Indonesia mesti menentukan harga gas sesuai dengan harga minyak.

Informasi SKK Migas menyebutkan skema harga Indonesia kini sudah berdasarkan harga minyak. Adapun skema fixed price berlaku untuk kontrak jangka panjang.

Government Open International Auctions

Mega Port Project Patimban

Contractors not necessarily a Japanese company.

The government will open an international tender (international competitive bidding / ICB) to determine the international port megaproject contractor Patimban in Subang, West Java. International auction held because of the cost of mega projects worth Rp 43 trillion, mostly budget of the foreign debt is untight loans (loans not tight). "The contractor does not have the company of lending," said Director General of Sea Transportation Ministry, Tonny Boediono.

According to Tony, the government will hold a tender contractor megaproject after Japan and Indonesia signed a loan agreement. The agreement is targeted to be done in June-July 2017. A little retreat from the original target of May 2017, "said Tonny. However, for port operators, the government appointed PT Pelindo II. Tonny explained, it requires the appointment of a Presidential Regulation as a condition for acceleration without passing Ielang. "This month will be no determination about the operator," said Tonny. Furthermore, Pelindo II will work closely with national private companies and private Japanese became Patimban designated operator through "Beauty Contest".

Director of Ports Ministry of Transportation, Mauritz Sibarani, said while the auction is opened internationally, companies participating auction will be cooperating with local partners. According Mauritz, the provision will be discussed in detail in the document of the loan agreement. "It will be a joint operation or a form of cooperation in other forms," ​​said Mauritz.

Senior representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency for Indonesia, Hiromichi Muraoka, said did not know where the private company interested venture with operator Pelindo II became Patimban. However, according to Muraoka, Japanese companies need to be sure of the detailed provisions in the loan agreement between Japan and Indonesia. "If it is possible many of our companies show interest, they do not know the provisions of the concession," says Muraoka.

Mid-January, the Coordinating Minister maritime Luhut Panjaitan said that one of the major Japanese companies, Mitsubishi, interested in becoming operators Patimban. Based on the information, Mitsubishi will enter into Patimban through its subsidiary, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line).

According Muraoka, today Japan is still waiting for the completion of the project's environmental permit Patimban. After that, Japan requires a formal request for a loan of Indonesia. "Otherwise, we can not conclude the loan agreement," says Muraoka.

Environmental permit is one of the most important issues that concern the Japanese in the development process Patimban. Previously, the port megaproject Cilamaya in Karawang, which will initially be financed by Japan, were canceled due to PT Pertamina protest. Cilamaya project site is considered to threaten the existence of gas pipelines Off Shore North West Java. "Must avoid such a thing," says Muraoka.

Executing tasks Subang Regent, Imas Aryumningsih, said it had published the Spatial Plan (RTRW) for Patimban district level. Documents that have long existed, when Piers Patimban which was originally built for the national level. "Now it will draw up a buffer zone RTRW for Patimban international ports," says Imas.

Mega Proyek Pelabuhan Patimban

Pemerintah Buka Lelang Internasional

Kontraktor tak mesti perusahaan asal Jepang.

Pemerintah akan membuka lelang internasional (international competitive bidding/ICB) untuk menentukan kontraktor megaproyek pelabuhan internasional Patimban di Subang, Jawa Barat. Lelang internasional digelar karena biaya mega proyek senilai Rp 43 triliun yang sebagian besar anggarannya dari utang luar negeri tersebut bersifat untight Loan (pinjaman tidak ketat). “Kontraktor-nya tidak harus perusahaan dari negara pemberi pinjaman,” kata Direktur Jenderal Perhubungan Laut Kementerian Perhubungan, Tonny Boediono.

Menurut Tonny, pemerintah akan membuka lelang kontraktor megaproyek setelah Jepang dan Indonesia menandatangani perjanjian pinjaman. Perjanjian itu ditargetkan terlaksana pada Juni-Juli 2017. Agak mundur dari target semula Mei 2017 ,” kata Tonny. Namun, untuk operator pelabuhan, pemerintah menunjuk PT Pelindo II. Tonny menerangkan, penunjukan itu memerlukan Peraturan Presiden sebagai syarat percepatan tanpa lewat Ielang. “Bulan ini akan ada penentuan soal operator-nya,” kata Tonny. Selanjutnya, Pelindo II akan bekerja sama dengan perusahaan swasta nasional dan swasta Jepang menjadi operator Patimban yang ditunjuk melalui "Beauty Contest".

Direktur Kepelabuhanan Kementerian Perhubungan, Mauritz Sibarani, mengatakan, kendati lelang dibuka secara internasional, perusahaan-perusahaan yang ikut lelang akan menggandeng mitra lokal. Menurut Mauritz, ketentuan tersebut akan dibahas secara rinci dalam dokumen perjanjian pinjaman. “Nanti bentuknya bisa joint operation atau kerja sama dalam bentuk lain,” kata Mauritz.

Perwakilan senior Japan International Cooperation Agency untuk Indonesia, Hiromichi Muraoka, mengatakan tidak tahu perusahaan swasta mana yang tertarik berkongsi dengan Pelindo II menjadi operator Patimban. Namun, menurut Muraoka, perusahaan Jepang perlu mengetahui pasti ketentuan rinci dalam perjanjian pinjaman antara Jepang dan Indonesia. “Jika mungkin banyak perusahaan kami menunjukkan minat, mereka belum tahu ketentuan konsesinya,” kata Muraoka.

Pertengahan Januari ini, Menteri Koordinator Kemaritiman Luhut Panjaitan mengatakan salah satu perusahaan besar Jepang, Mitsubishi, berminat menjadi operator Patimban. Berdasarkan informasi, Mitsubishi bakal masuk ke Patimban melalui anak usahanya, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line).

Menurut Muraoka, saat ini Jepang masih menunggu selesainya izin lingkungan proyek Patimban. Setelah itu, Jepang memerlukan permintaan resmi pinjaman dari Indonesia. “Kalau tidak, kita tidak bisa menyimpulkan perjanjian pinjaman,” ujar Muraoka.

Izin lingkungan merupakan salah satu isu terpenting yang dikhawatirkan Jepang dalam proses pembangunan Patimban. Sebelumnya, megaproyek pelabuhan Cilamaya di Karawang, yang awalnya akan dibiayai Jepang, dibatalkan lantaran PT Pertamina memprotes. Lokasi proyek Cilamaya dianggap mengancam keberadaan jaringan pipa gas Off Shore North West Java. “Harus menghindari hal seperti itu,” kata Muraoka.

Pelaksana tugas Bupati Subang, Imas Aryumningsih, mengatakan telah menerbitkan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) tingkat kabupaten untuk Patimban. Dokumen itu sudah lama ada, ketika Pelabuhan Patimban yang awalnya untuk tingkat nasional dibangun. “Sekarang akan menyusun RTRW untuk kawasan penyangga pelabuhan internasional Patimban,” kata Imas.

One Day Stop Production, Small was (No Big Deal)

Not even two months served as Director of PT Pertamina Processing, Toharso faced with serious problems: damage to the refineries that come many times. At least eight times the country's refineries owned by alternately must stop production. Former Director of PT Pertamina Retail shutdown events it describes some of the refinery. "Likened, If you have an old car, to be cared for, if not to strike in the middle of the road," he said.

Why refinery damage often occurs? Pertamina has six refineries. Balikpapan refinery was built in 1948 and most recently was 1980.Yang Balongan refinery, built in the 1990s. After that, no construction of new refineries, the new process unit. If it is old and must be treated. As it is now, Balongan refinery will be shut down for maintenance in total.

The cause of disruption Balikpapan refinery? Steam pipe that goes into one of the leaking plant turbines. Pressure become drop. Then the turbine turns itself off. One of the five turbines not spinning, no electricity. Eventually die all. Cause, plumbing is old. But the tap steam that enters the turbine immediately closed. Refinery road again.

The impact? One day there was no production. The second day of production 70 percent. Sunday back to normal. Leaking pipes have been connected again. S

During the Balikpapan refinery did not operate, how the Fuel Oil Supply? Other refineries increased production to cover the shortfall. Cilacap, Plaju, Dumai and Balongan each accounted for 25 percent. If one day stop production, small.

Additional import? There is no. If the import is only that much, small. Usually imported at least 200 thousand barrels.

Refinery Balikapapan often damaged, why? All inspection problems. Refinery time to care, must not regress.

Not all has been planned? If all the plans are not implemented consistently, yes problems.

How Opportunity loss of his? In the action plan of the company, the refinery may be stopped without a plan (unplanned shutdown) 3-4 days per year. If not exceed it, no loss.

Opportunity loss Balikpapan? Later calculated, what already exceeded the limit. To be sure, if the refinery die, to lose.

What is the harm? If more than planned, would be a big loss. Balikpapan 5 units, 4 units died just a day. One more unit could die a week. Later, averaged over a year. If the past 3-4 days, means red.

Did not operational at its refineries led to opportunity loss reached Rp 1.4 trillion? Who said, from where? Let's count. A day at most diesel 125 thousand barrels per day. The potential loss in refinery margins. For example, my production of Rp 100 per liter, if the price of Pertamax out factory Rp. 105. Meaning I lost margin 5. Not because it does not produce losses. Crude is still there.

Seven days is not normal production, instead of the loss is not a little? Calculated margin lost. For example the price of Rp 5,500 per liter of diesel: If the margin is 5 percent, meaning 25 cents a liter at times 30 percent at times seven days. That the loss.

Up to Rp 1.4 Trillion? No. In 2016 alone, working his losses of US $ 70-80 million. Not up to Rp 1 trillion

Satu Hari Stop Produksi, Kecil Itu

Belum genap dua bulan menjabat Direktur Pengolahan PT Pertamina, Toharso berhadapan dengan persoalan serius: kerusakan kilang yang datang berkali-kali. Setidaknya delapan kali kilang milik perusahaan negara itu bergantian harus stop produksi. Mantan Direktur Utama PT Pertamina Retail itu menjelaskan peristiwa shutdown beberapa kilang tersebut.“Diibaratkan, Kalau punya mobil tua, harus dirawat dengan baik, kalau tidak mau mogok di tengah jalan,” kata dia.

Mengapa kerusakan kilang sering terjadi? Pertamina punya enam kilang. Kilang Balikpapan dibangun pada 1948 dan 1980.Yang paling baru adalah Kilang Balongan, dibangun pada 1990-an. Setelah itu, tidak ada pembangunan kilang baru, paling unit proses baru. Kalau sudah tua, harus dirawat. Seperti sekarang, Kilang Balongan akan dimatikan untuk perawatan total. 

Penyebab gangguan Kilang Balikpapan ? Pipa steam yang masuk ke salah satu turbin pembangkit bocor. Tekanan menjadi drop. Lalu turbin mati dengan sendirinya. Salah satu dari lima turbin tidak berputar, listrik tidak ada. Akhirnya mati semua. Penyebabnya, pipa sudah tua. Tapi keran uap yang masuk ke turbin segera ditutup. Kilang jalan lagi.

Dampaknya? Satu hari tak ada produksi. Hari kedua produksi 70 persen. Minggu kembali normal. Pipa yang bocor sudah disambung lagi. S

Selama kilang Balikpapan tidak beroperasi, bagaimana Suplai Bahan Bakar Minyak? Kilang lain dinaikkan produksinya untuk menutup kekurangan. Cilacap, Plaju,Dumai, dan Balongan masing-masing menyumbang 25 persen. Kalau satu hari stop produksi, kecil itu.

Tambahan impor? Tidak ada. Kalau impor hanya segitu, kecil. Biasanya impor minimal 200 ribu barel.

Kilang Balikapapan sering mengalami kerusakan, mengapa? Semua masalah inspeksi. Kilang saatnya perawatan, tidak boleh mundur.

Bukannya semua sudah terencana? Kalau semua rencana tidak dilaksanakan secara konsisten, ya masalah.

Berapa Opportunity loss-nya? Dalam rencana kerja anggaran perusahaan, kilang boleh berhenti tanpa rencana (unplanned shutdown) 3-4 hari per tahun. Kalau tak melebihi itu, tak terjadi kerugian. 

Opportunity loss Balikpapan? Nanti dihitung, apa sudah melebihi batasan. Yang pasti, kalau kilang mati, akan rugi. 

Berapa ruginya? Kalau lebih dari rencana, pasti rugi besar. Balikpapan ada 5 unit, 4 unit mati hanya sehari. Satu unit lagi bisa mati seminggu. Nanti dirata-rata setahun. Bila melewati 3-4 hari, berarti merah.

Benarkah tidak beroperasional-nya beberapa kilang menyebabkan opportunity loss mencapai Rp 1,4 triliun? Siapa bilang, itu dari mana? Mari kita hitung. Sehari paling banyak solar 125 ribu barel per hari. Potential loss paling di margin kilang. Misalnya, saya produksi Rp 100 per liter, kalau harga Pertamax keluar pabrik Rp. 105. Berarti saya kehilangan margin 5. Bukan kerugian karena tidak berproduksi. Crude-nya masih ada. 

Tujuh hari tidak berproduksi normal, bukannya kerugian tidak sedikit? Dihitung margin yang hilang. Misalnya harga solar Rp 5.500 per liter: Kalau margin 5 persen, berarti 25 sen seliter di kali 30 persen di kali tujuh hari. Itu yang loss.

Sampai Rp 1,4 Triliun? Tidak. Tahun 2016 saja, working losses-nya US$ 70-80 juta. Tidak sampai Rp 1 triliun

Steam Pipe Leaks, Balikpapan Refinery Off

For three days, refineries are not able to produce solar

The City of Balikpapan, East Kalimantan were struck by a burst of fire as high as tens of meters from the chimney refinery owned oil company PT Pertamina on Sunday, January 15, 2017, at around 00:15 pm. Residents panicked because they thought Balikpapan refinery with a capacity of 260 thousand barrels of oil per day it was on fire.

Fire alarming residents of Kampung Baru that was caused by the leaking steam pipe to the refinery plant. As a result of refinery operations halted. "The leaking pipe pressure drop. Then the turbine shut down, "said Director of Pertamina Processing Toharso. Because the vapor pressure leak, one of the five turbines not spinning, no electricity, all die eventually. Toharso explained, a steam pipe leak as obsolete." Mounted in 1948. Turbine old, in check. That is, the leak is less detectable from the beginning, because the old, "he said.

Bursts of fire coming from the rest of the steam is channeled into the pipe chimney fire. "Once the blackout, all the wasted gas into the chimney. So, the fire was very great, "said Toharso. According to him, the cause of disturbance refineries are maintenance problems." For example, the pump bearing heat, overheat, and then stuck, "he said. Toharso stated, repairs refineries can not quickly." It takes time. Later found out next year."

As a result of the disorder, the potential revenue Balikpapan refinery on January 15, 2017 is estimated to be lost approximately US $ 37.5 million, or Rp 505.2 billion. "The potential is lost because refineries could not produce fuel for a few days. After the outage, the refinery can not operate fully. "It takes time, because the operation of the refinery should be gradual and can not immediately step on the gas," he said.

He showed daily production statistics Balikpapan refinery decreased. Production Premium, a day after the event, can not be done. On January 17 Premium production can be done. But the production of these fuels fell in the 20 to 21 January. "There was a drop in production of 28.5 percent, or only 114 thousand barrels in the seven days," he said.

Average production of Premium in normal conditions during the week was 160 thousand barrels. Balikpapan refinery production of diesel fuel after the incident on January 15 can only be conducted on January 18. For three days, refineries are not able to produce diesel. Production of diesel fuel for 15 to 22 January drop 66.4 per cent of the normal standard of 898 thousand barrels to 302 thousand barrels.

The production of jet fuel after a total blackout last week experienced the sharpest decline. "Production of a new aviation fuel can be conducted on January 21," he said, During the 15- January 22, aviation fuel from the refinery's production dropped 94.8 percent from 95 thousand barrels to 5,000 barrels. The inability of refineries to produce a number of products fuel approximately causing loss of potential income US $ 37.5 million or around Rp 506 billion. Toharso denied the potential loss of income of the refinery. According to him, the day after the outage, the refinery operates directly. Not full capacity. approximately 70-80 percent, "he said. Toharso explains, Balikpapan refinery extinguished completely, the supply of fuel supplied from refineries from other regions, there are no imports.

Pipa Uap Bocor, Kilang Balikpapan Padam

Selama tiga hari, kilang tidak mampu memproduksi solar

Warga Kota Balikpapan, Kalimantan Timur dikejutkan oleh semburan api setinggi puluhan meter dari cerobong kilang minyak milik PT Pertamina pada Minggu, 15 Januari 2017, sekitar pukul 00.15 Wita. Warga sempat panik karena mengira Kilang Balikpapan dengan kapasitas 260 ribu barel minyak per hari itu terbakar.

Kebakaran yang mencemaskan warga Kampung Baru itu ternyata disebabkan oleh bocornya pipa uap ke pembangkit kilang. Akibatnya operasi kilang terhenti. “Satu pipa bocor tekanannya drop. Lalu turbin mati dengan sendirinya," kata Direktur Pengolahan Pertamina Toharso. Karena tekanan uap-nya bocor, salah satu dari lima turbin tidak berputar, listrik tidak ada, akhirnya mati semua. Toharso menjelaskan, pipa uap bocor karena sudah usang. “Dipasang pada 1948. Turbin sudah tua, di cek. Artinya, kebocoran ini dari awal kurang terdeteksi, karena tua,”kata dia.

Semburan api berasal dari sisa uap yang dialirkan ke pipa cerobong api. “Begitu blackout, semua gas terbuang ke cerobong. Jadi, apinya besar sekali," ujar Toharso. Menurut dia, penyebab gangguan kilang adalah masalah perawatan.“Misalnya, pompa bearing panas, overheat, lalu macet,”tuturnya. Toharso menyatakan, perbaikan kilang tidak bisa cepat. “Butuh waktu. Nanti ketahuan tahun depan.”

Akibat gangguan tersebut, potensi pendapatan Kilang Balikpapan pada 15 Januari 2017 diperkirakan hilang sekitar US$ 37,5 juta atau Rp 505,2 miliar. “Potensi yang hilang itu karena kilang tak mampu memproduksi bahan bakar selama beberapa hari. Setelah pemadaman, kilang tidak bisa beroperasi penuh. “Butuh waktu, karena pengoperasian kilang harus bertahap dan tidak bisa langsung tancap gas,” kata dia.

Dia memperlihatkan statistik produksi harian Kilang Balikpapan yang menurun. Produksi Premium, sehari setelah kejadian, tidak bisa dilakukan. Pada 17 Januari produksi Premium bisa dilakukan. Tapi produksi bahan bakar ini kembali anjlok pada 20-21 Januari. “Terjadi penurunan produksi 28,5 persen atau hanya 114 ribu barel dalam tujuh hari,” ujarnya. 

Rata-rata produksi Premium dalam kondisi normal selama sepekan adalah 160 ribu barel. Produksi solar dari Kilang Balikpapan setelah kejadian pada 15 Januari baru bisa dilakukan pada 18 Januari. Selama tiga hari, kilang tidak mampu memproduksi solar. Produksi solar selama 15-22 Januari drop 66,4 persen dari standar normal 898 ribu barel menjadi 302 ribu barel.

Adapun produksi avtur setelah blackout total pekan lalu mengalami penurunan paling tajam. “Produksi avtur baru bisa dilakukan pada 21 Januari," ujarnya, Selama kurun 15- 22 Januari, produksi avtur dari kilang ini melorot 94,8 persen dari 95 ribu barel menjadi 5.000 barel. Ketidakmampuan kilang memproduksi sejumlah produk bahan bakar menyebabkan hilangnya potensi pendapatan sekitar US$ 37,5 juta atau sekitar Rp 506 miliar. Toharso membantah potensi hilangnya pendapatan kilang tersebut. Menurut dia, sehari setelah pemadaman, kilang langsung beroperasi. Tidak full capacity. Sekitar 70-80 persen,” katanya. Toharso menjelaskan, saat Kilang Balikpapan padam total, pasokan bahan bakar di suplai dari kilang-kilang dari wilayah lain, tidak ada impor.

Threatened Loss Pertamina Rp 1 Trillion

Commissioners will be asked for an explanation of directors.

Refineries owned by PT Pertamina death row throughout the last two months Since December 2016, there were at least ten times more damage and potentially harm the company's financial state-owned oil and gas was Rp 1 trillion more. Sources Some of the upper layers of the company as well as practitioners refineries calculated the potential losses derived from the lost revenue because refineries do not produce fuel oil.

Whereas fixed costs continue to come out "employee salaries must still be paid. Damage most often occurs in Balikpapan refinery or Refinery Unit V2: three times in two months. On 2 December, the refinery in the city in East Kalimantan was extinguished completely because the generator was broken. Outages affecting the operations of a number of units, such as facilities refiners of crude oil, crude distillation unit, and a hydrocracking unit.

The new refinery is operating normally three weeks later, on December 25, 2016. After that, the refinery several times broken again. On January 15, 2017, the refinery outages total return; Also due to damage plants. This time the cause was a leaky steam pipe. Some refinery facilities must also be turned off. The units are turned on and the new normal operations on Saturday, January 21 last.

Damage also occurred at the refinery in Cilacap (Central Java) and Dumai (Riau). Balikpapan refinery as very strategic because it is a supplier of fuel oil in Indonesia's second largest, after the Cilacap refinery. The plant includes two units and is able to process 260 thousand barrels of crude oil per day. One of the main products are solar as much as 125 thousand barrels per day. Pertamina processing director, Toharso, dismiss the potential loss of trillions of rupiah. According to him, the company only loses potential profits refinery. "Margin refinery was not great," he said

Pertamina Commissioner will call the board of directors to seek clarification cause damage to the refinery sequential. "Today we will call the directors to explain the cases of interference and the burning of the refinery," said the Commissioner, Mr. Abeng. Toharso said it is not aware of it.

In repeatedly stopped operating because of damage.

Pertamina Terancam Merugi Rp 1 Triliun

Komisaris akan meminta penjelasan direksi.

Sejumlah kilang minyak milik PT Pertamina mati berturut-turut sepanjang dua bulan terakhir Sejak Desember 2016, terjadi setidaknya sepuluh kali kerusakan dan berpotensi merugikan keuangan perusahaan minyak dan gas milik negara itu Rp 1 triliun lebih. Sejumlah Sumber dari lapisan atas perusahaan itu serta praktisi kilang menghitung angka potensi kerugian berasal dari pendapatan yang hilang karena kilang tidak menghasilkan bahan bakar minyak. 

Padahal biaya tetap terus keluar “Gaji pegawai harus tetap dibayar. Kerusakan paling sering terjadi di kilang Balikpapan atau Unit Refinery V2 yakni tiga kali dalam dua bulan. Pada 2 Desember lalu, kilang di kota di Kalimantan Timur itu padam total karena pembangkitnya rusak. Pemadaman mempengaruhi operasional sejumlah unit, seperti fasilitas penyuling minyak mentah, crude distillation unit, dan hydrocracking unit.

Kilang baru beroperasi normal tiga pekan kemudian, yakni pada 25 Desember 2016. Setelah itu, kilang beberapa kali rusak lagi. Pada 15 Januari 2017, kilang kembali padam total; juga akibat kerusakan pembangkit. Kali ini penyebabnya adalah pipa uap bocor. Beberapa fasilitas kilang pun harus dimatikan. Unit-unit dihidupkan dan baru beroperasi normal kembali pada Sabtu, 21 Januari lalu.

Kerusakan juga terjadi di kilang Cilacap (Jawa Tengah) dan Dumai (Riau). Kilang Balikpapan tergolong sangat strategis karena merupakan penyuplai bahan bakar minyak terbesar kedua di Indonesia, setelah kilang Cilacap. Kilang ini meliputi dua unit dan mampu mengolah minyak mentah 260 ribu barel per hari. Salah satu produk utamanya adalah solar sebanyak 125 ribu barel per hari. Direktur Pengolahan Pertamina, Toharso, menampik potensi kerugian mencapai triliunan rupiah. Menurut dia, perusahaan hanya kehilangan potensi keuntungan kilang. “Margin kilang itu tidak besar,” kata dia 

Komisaris Pertamina akan memanggil jajaran direksi untuk meminta penjelasan penyebab kerusakan kilang yang berurutan itu. “Hari ini kami akan panggil direksi untuk menjelaskan kasus gangguan dan terbakarnya kilang," ujar Komisaris Utama, Tanri Abeng. Toharso mengatakan belum mengetahui rencana ini.
