SKK Migas Organize Data Vendor for DCL

Unit Special Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) will establish a database of local vendors and tender. Database which can be accessed via online has become one of the ways to improve the rate of domestic content (DCL) for the upstream oil and gas company.

Secretary Ariyanto SKK Migas Budi said, the role of local vendors is essential to increase local content and increase state revenues. He said there needs to be an accurate database in order to maximize the role of local vendors.

"We again woke integrated central database vendor. So, later the tender in there. We do not know the vendor who, disposable e-mail service all electronics. All electronic communication wear it shows transparency, "said Budi, last weekend.

Budi said the PTK 007, SKK Migas is mandated DCL high enough on upstream oil and gas business. He said the government had set a target of at least 35 per cent local content in the upstream oil and gas business. On the other hand, a lot of support upstream oil and gas industry or a local vendor that is already growing rapidly, even too many orders from foreign parties, but was not seen by the upstream oil and gas businesses.

Through online tenders and accurate database, Budi assess the cooperation between industry and businessmen supporting upstream oil and gas could be developed well. This can improve efficiency. upstream oil and gas business because it could put the brakes on import dependence.

Budi hope, with their wide-open spigot of government to these local vendors, the local vendors can also increase quality and improve standards to not lose competitiveness with foreign products. Budi said the realization of DCL until February 2017 has been noted that 46.17 percent or equivalent to 1,620 million US dollars. Meanwhile, in 2016 the realization of DCL recorded 55 percent.

"The realization of DCL did we notice since 2006. Since 2010 to 2016 was relatively rises. So this year we are targeting DCL could rise up to 55 percent, "said Budi.

Commercial and Production Director of PT Guna Nusa Fabrication Sirnatupang Ramli said that during the government simply enforce and issue regulations on DCL. However, safeguards and government socialization of the upstream oil and gas activities in order to support local vendors still need to be improved.

He said that during the import by PSC's dependence on goods support upstream oil and gas activity is still high. In fact, not a few local vendors who can produce intermediate goods, and can compete with foreigners.

Ramli said the government needs to improve socialization and affirmation of the PSC in order to use local vendors in meeting the needs of a means of supporting their oil and gas upstream activities. To date, there have been several PSC which are already asking DCL more than 35 percent. Some PSC even reach up to 55 percent local content.

SKK Migas Susun Data Vendor untuk TKDN

Satuan Kerja Khusus Minyak dan Gas (SKK Migas) akan membentuk database vendor lokal dan tender. Database yang dapat diakses melalui daring tersebut menjadi salah satu cara untuk bisa meningkatkan tingkat kandungan dalam negeri (TKDN) bagi para perusahaan hulu migas.

Sekretaris SKK Migas Budi Ariyanto mengatakan, peran vendor lokal sangat penting untuk meningkatkan TKDN dan meningkatkan pendapatan negara. Ia mengatakan, perlu ada database yang akurat agar bisa memaksimalkan peran Vendor lokal.

“Kita lagi bangun central integrated database vendor. Jadi, nanti tender masuk ke situ. Kita tidak tahu vendor itu siapa, pelayanan pakai e-mail elektronik semua. Komunikasi semua pakai elektronik itu menunjukkan transparansi,” ujar Budi, akhir pekan lalu.

Budi mengatakan, dalam PTK 007, SKK Migas memang mengamanatkan TKDN yang cukup tinggi pada kerja hulu migas. Ia mengatakan, pemerintah memasang target TKDN minimal 35 persen pada kerja hulu migas. Di sisi lain, banyak industri penunjang hulu migas atau vendor lokal yang sebenarnya sudah berkembang pesat, bahkan terlalu banyak order dari pihak luar negeri, tetapi tidak terlihat oleh pengusaha hulu migas.

Melalui tender online dan database yang akurat, Budi menilai kerja sama antara industri penunjang dan pengusaha hulu migas bisa lebih terbangun dengan baik. Hal ini bisa meningkatkan efisiensi. kerja hulu migas karena bisa mengerem ketergantungan impor.

Budi berharap, dengan adanya keran yang terbuka lebar dari pemerintah untuk Vendor lokal ini, para vendor lokal juga bisa meningkatkan kualitas dan meningkatkan standar hingga tidak kalah saing dengan produk asing. Budi mengatakan, realisasi TKDN hingga Februari 2017 tercatat sudah 46,17 persen atau senilai 1,620 juta dolar AS. Sedangkan, pada 2016 realisasi TKDN tercatat 55 persen.

“Realisasi TKDN memang kita perhatikan sejak 2006. Sejak 2010 hingga 2016 memang relatif naik. Makanya tahun ini kita targetkan TKDN bisa naik hingga 55 persen,” ujar Budi.

Direktur Komersil dan Produksi PT Guna Nusa Fabrication Ramli Sirnatupang mengatakan, selama ini pemerintah hanya memberlakukan dan mengeluarkan peraturan tentang TKDN. Namun, pengawalan dan sosialisasi pemerintah terhadap kegiatan hulu migas untuk bisa mendukung vendor lokal masih perlu ditingkatkan. 

Ia mengatakan, selama ini ketergantungan impor oleh KKKS terhadap barang-barang penunjang kegiatan hulu migas masih tinggi. Padahal, tidak sedikit vendor lokal yang sudah bisa memproduksi barang penunjang dan bisa bersaing dengan asing.

Ramli mengatakan, pemerintah perlu meningkatkan sosialisasi dan penegasan terhadap para KKKS untuk bisa menggunakan vendor lokal dalam memenuhi kebutuhan alat penunjang kegiatan hulu migas mereka. Untuk saat ini, sudah ada beberapa KKKS yang memang sudah meminta TKDN lebih dari 35 persen. Beberapa KKKS bahkan mencapai TKDN hingga 55 persen.

Sharing Schemes Boost Local Components

The implementation of the scheme for the results of the gross production (gross split) of crude oil and natural gas will certainly increase the amount of domestic component level (DCL). This was due to the more DCL is used, the greater the revenue share received by the contractor.

"In addition to potentially get an extra split (for results) through a component variable split, investors will want to save on operating costs for cost recovery is no longer valid, especially for the working area (WK) new and termination," said Secretary of the Unit Special Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) Budi Agustyono

According to records SKK Migas, all commitments of procurement of goods and services conducted SKK Migas or upstream oil and gas investor or contractor cooperation contract (PSC) reached US $ 2,628 million as of March 2017. When the percentage, DCL absorption of 39.93%. The achievement was above the minimum threshold DCL uptake general obligation, namely 30%.

Added, although the gross-based PSC regime split approved work program and budget (WP & B) is no longer in the hands of SKK Migas, the agency was still doing the monitoring of goods and services. Procurement in the upstream oil and gas sector includes pipes, pumping unit, drilling mud, cement, chemical, lubricants, to fuel oil (BBM). Procurement of services includes, surveying, seismic and geology, drilling, FEED, EPC I, shipping, aircraft, until the building maintenance.

He added that gross regime increasingly split wide open space for contractors and state justice. That caused a split calculation is influenced by many factors, from the price of oil, the type of field, the cumulative production, until the uptake DCL.

Likewise, Commercial and Businesses Development Director of PT Gunanusa Utama Fabricators Ramli added Simatupang scheme based on gross PSC split could also extend upstream oil and gas projects for local contractors. By doing so, the national fabrication industry increasingly powerless.

"In the future there will be more (projects for local contractors). We greatly boosted gross split. Uptake DCL above 50%.

Skema Bagi Hasil Dongkrak Komponen Lokal

Penerapan skema bagi hasil dari produksi kotor (gross split) minyak mentah dan gas bumi dipastikan akan menaikkan besaran tingkat komponen dalam negeri (TKDN). Hal itu disebabkan semakin banyak TKDN yang digunakan, akan semakin besar bagi hasil yang diterima kontraktor.

“Selain berpotensi mendapatkan tambahan split (bagi hasil) melalui komponen variable split, investor tentunya ingin menghemat biaya operasional karena cost recovery tidak lagi berlaku, terutama bagi wilayah kerja (WK) baru dan terminasi,” kata Sekretaris Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Budi Agustyono 

Menurut catatan SKK Migas, seluruh komitmen pengadaan barang dan jasa yang dilakukan SKK Migas ataupun investor hulu migas atau kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) mencapai US$2,628 juta per Maret 2017. Bila di persentase, penyerapan TKDN sebesar 39,93%. Pencapaian itu di atas ambang minimum kewajiban serapan TKDN secara umum, yakni 30%.

Ditambahkan, meski dalam rezim PSC berbasis gross split persetujuan work program and budget (WP&B) tidak lagi berada di tangan SKK Migas, lembaga itu tetap melakukan pengawasan terhadap barang dan jasa. Pengadaan barang di sektor hulu migas meliputi pipa, pumping unit, lumpur pengeboran, semen, kimia, pelumas, hingga bahan bakar minyak (BBM). Pengadaan jasa mencakup, jasa survei, seismik dan geologi, pengeboran, FEED, EPC I, perkapalan, pesawat udara, hingga perawatan gedung.

Dia menambahkan rezim gross split semakin membuka lebar ruang keadilan bagi kontraktor ataupun negara. Itu disebabkan penghitungan split dipengaruhi berbagai faktor, mulai harga minyak, jenis lapangan, kumulatif produksi, hingga serapan TKDN. 

Senada, Commercial and Businesses Development Director PT Gunanusa Utama Fabricators Ramli Simatupang menambahkan skema PSC berbasis gross split juga bisa memperluas proyek hulu migas bagi kontraktor lokal. Dengan begitu, industri fabrikasi nasional semakin berdaya. 

“Ke depannya akan lebih banyak (proyek bagi kontraktor lokal). Kita sangat dukung gross split. Serapan TKDN di atas 50%.

Balance between production and cost recovery a struggle

Meeting the government’s target of oil and gas production, which is essential to fulfill the country’s growing thirst for energy and minimize imports, is no easy feat given the limited budget and aging wells. The Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKK Migas) has approved 59,013 exploitation and exploration activities proposed by contractors for this year’s work plan and budget, which is intended to increase reserves and maintain production levels.

While only 7.7 percent of the approved exploitation and exploration activities have been conducted by the end of February, the government has shelled out US$2.4 billion - or 22.9 percent of the annual cost recovery budget in the first quarter ofthe year.

It is unlikely that the contractors will be able to check off all the activities, as the budget for cost recovery the government’s reimbursement scheme for exploration and exploitation activities has been cut in the 2017 state budget to $10.5 billion from the initially proposed $11.5 billion.

“If the cost recovery has been cut, then we will also have to cut down on our activities. With the current state of oil prices, we will have to prioritize activities that can boost production, such as well maintenance and workovers,” SKKMigas secretary Budi Agustyono said recently.

To offset the cost recovery burden, the government recently announced a gross-split sliding scale, in which the profit split is determined from the get-go and the Will no longer reimburse any exploration or exploitation expenses, on new contracts.

Even as the government pins its hopes on the gross-split scheme, the cost recovery scheme is not going anywhere anytime soon, as there are still dozens of contracts operating under cost recovery that will not expire within the next decade.

This year’s state budget targets ready-to-sell production, also known as lifting, of 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd), comprising of 815,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and 6,440 million metric standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd). While the gas lifting target has largely been met in the first quarter, oil lifting has fallen short of its target with only 787,800 bopd.

The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is working on a new regulation that may compel new contracts for existing fields to include proposals of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) activities to squeeze out every last drop of oil. Oil and gas director general IGN Wiratmaja Puja said the ministry was still evaluating the possible incentives it could offer contractors to increase their enthusiasm for EOR activities. He cited an increase in the profit split for the contractors as a possible incentive.

“We want [the contractors] to already have plans for future EOR activities in the field when they submit their proposals,” he said recently adding that EOR at 34 priority fields could help boost lifting to around 600,000 bopd by 2030. 

     Based on current conditions, many believe lndonesia’s oil reserves will be depleted in little over a decade if the country keeps its lifting rate above 800,000 bopd without any new discoveries. Furthermore, lifting could drop to below' 400,000 bopd within the next decade.

Pertamina Oil and Gas Production 658 thousand BOEPD

PT Pertamina managed to record oil and gas production is higher than last year, which is about 658 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day / boepd until March, a slight increase of 1.7% when compared to the same period last year amounted to 647 thousand boepd.

The Company is optimistic to achieve this year's production target was set at 693 thousand boepd. Senior Vice President Strategic Planning and Operations Evaluation Meidawati say, both the realization of oil and gas production.

Meanwhile, each of which recorded rises until the first quarter of this year. Oil production of around 318 thousand barrels per day (bpd), up 3.9% from the same period last year 306 thousand bpd.

Then the gas production increased significantly by 10.5%, from around 1,781 million standard cubic feet per day / MMSCFD be 1,969 MMSCFD.

"As for the oil and gas production from January to March this year that 658 thousand boepd, an increase from January to March 2016 amounted to 647 thousand boepd," he said in a meeting with the media in Cirebon Sunday

(9/4).

He explained that the increase in production boosted by overseas assets and Cepu. In other countries, Pertamina has oil and gas blocks in Malaysia, Algeria, and Iraq.

Oil and gas production contribution of these assets until last March stood at 87 thousand barrels of oil and 266 MMSCFD. The realization was better than the same period last year, amounting to 85 thousand barrels of oil and 196 MMSCFD. "Then from the Cepu block in the amount of 88 thousand barrels per day, is already part of Pertamina (shares) 45%," he said.

However, realization of production through March is still below target. 658 thousand boepd of oil and gas production of new 94.94% of the target of 693 thousand boepd. Then each oil production was still 95.2% of the target of 334 thousand barrels per day and gas 94.66% of the target of 2,080 MMSCFD.

Meidawati optimistic that oil and gas production this year will be achieved. "Because now some ongoing work, such as drilling development, reactivation of wells, and others," he said. In addition, the Cepu block calls is still a mainstay for the realization of oil and gas production target in 2017.

Pertamina has allocated US $ 3.44 billion to fund a range of activities to achieve the target of 2017. In particular oil and gas production, Pertamina will drill 28 exploration wells and 129 development wells, 31 wells carry out the work, as well as running 5,000 jobs well maintenance.

Pertamina Upstream Director Syamsu Alam said that the company targets oil and gas production continues to increase each year to reach 1.9 million boepd in 2025.

Increased production is obtained from the optimization of existing assets, acquisition of oil and gas blocks out of contract, and the acquisition of oil and gas assets in other countries. This step is necessary to close the gap and the need for national oil and gas production in coming years.

"Our Performance from 2008 to 2016, oil and gas production continues to grow. So we can prove that we can still grow, "he said. In the future, Pertamina is targeting oil and gas production grew 8% per year, while gas reserves grew 4.4% per year.

Financial contributions

While the financial side, Meidawati admitted upstream sector's contribution to the total profit of the company has decreased this year. In the past year, the upstream sector accounted for US $ 980 million or 31% from the realization of the company's profit of US $ 3.14 billion.

This year, upstream contribution decreased slightly to 30%, the detail of US $ 905 million of the total target profit of US $ 3.04 billion. "However, the amount of work actually done more this year," he said.

He says there are several factors that contribute to cut upstream of corporate profits. First, some seismic activity was postponed last year as oil prices plummeted, will be worked on this year.

Second, many oil and gas projects which commenced operations also raise the cost of care. Finally, the gas price reduction policy for certain sectors which are set by the government.

About the price of gas, there are some subsidiary of Pertamina affected by this policy. "Gas from PHE (Pertamina Hulu Energi) nothing to fertilizers and petrochemicals, it affects about 15%," he said.

    Oil and gas blocks under PHE affected by this pricing policy is the Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), Offshore North Sumatra, North Sumatra Block B, and Ogan Ogan.

In addition, some blocks are managed by PT Pertamina EP To minimize the impact of this policy, it has several strategies. In particular, accelerate exploration findings into the production phase, efficiency and cost-effectiveness, as well as the use of appropriate technology.

"In addition, oil production therefore be encouraged because of the oil price is still pretty good," he said. Pertamina assumes an oil price this year will be in the range of US $ 45 per barrel. While the oil price has been above $ 50 per barrel.

Produksi Migas Pertamina 658 Ribu BOEPD    

PT Pertamina berhasil membukukan produksi minyak dan gas bumi lebih tinggi dari tahun lalu, yakni sekitar 658 ribu barel setara minyak per hari/boepd sampai Maret lalu atau naik tipis 1,7% jika dibandingkan realisasi periode yang sama tahun lalu sebesar 647 ribu boepd. 

Perseroan optimistis bisa mencapai target produksi tahun ini yang ditetapkan sebesar 693 ribu boepd. Senior Vice President Strategic Planning and Operation Evaluation Meidawati mengatakan, baik realisasi produksi minyak maupun gas. 

   Sementara, masing-masing tercatat naik sampai kuartal pertama tahun ini. Produksi minyak yakni sekitar 318 ribu barel per hari (bph), naik 3,9% dari realisasi periode yang sama tahun lalu 306 ribu bph. 

    Kemudian produksi gas naik signifikan sebesar 10,5%, yakni dari sekitar 1.781 million standard cubic feet per day/mmscfd menjadi 1.969 mmscfd.

“Sementara untuk produksi migas Januari-Maret tahun ini yakni 658 ribu boepd, naik dibandingkan dari Januari-Maret 2016 sebesar 647 ribu boepd,” kata dia dalam pertemuan dengan media di Cirebon, Minggu

(9/4). 

Dia menjelaskan, kenaikan produksi di dukung oleh aset luar negeri dan Blok Cepu. Di negara lain, Pertamina memiliki blok migas di Malaysia, Aljazair, dan Irak. 

    Kontribusi produksi migas aset-aset ini sampai Maret lalu tercatat sebesar 87 ribu bph untuk minyak dan 266 mmscfd. Realisasi tersebut lebih baik dibandingkan periode yang sama tahun lalu, yaitu sebesar 85 ribu bph untuk minyak dan 196 mmscfd. “Kemudian dari Blok Cepu yaitu sebesar 88 ribu bph, ini sudah bagian Pertamina dengan (saham) 45%,” ujarnya.

Meski demikian, realisasi produksi sampai Maret ini masih di bawah target. Produksi migas 658 ribu boepd baru 94,94% dari target 693 ribu boepd. Kemudian masing-masing produksi minyak masih 95.2% dari target 334 ribu bph dan gas 94,66% dari target 2.080 mmscfd.

Meidawati optimistis target produksi migas tahun ini akan tercapai. “Karena saat ini beberapa pekerjaan sedang berlangsung, seperti pengeboran development, reaktivasi sumur, dan lainnya,” katanya. Selain itu, Blok Cepu disebutnya masih menjadi andalan untuk merealisasikan target produksi migas 2017.

Pertamina telah menganggarkan US$ 3,44 miliar untuk mendanai berbagai kegiatan untuk mencapai target produksi migas 2017. Rincinya, Pertamina akan mengebor 28 sumur eksplorasi dan 129 sumur pengembangan, melaksanakan kerja ulang 31 sumur, serta menjalankan 5.000 pekerjaan perawatan sumur.

Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam menuturkan, produksi migas perseroan ditargetkan terus meningkat setiap tahunnya hingga mencapai 1,9 juta boepd pada 2025. 

    Peningkatan produksi diperoleh dari optimasi aset eksisting, pengambilalihan blok migas habis kontrak, dan akuisisi aset migas di negara lain. Langkah ini diperlukan untuk memperkecil selisih produksi dan kebutuhan migas nasional di tahun-tahun mendatang.

“Performance kami dari 2008 sampai 2016, produksi migas terus tumbuh. Jadi kami bisa membuktikan bahwa kami masih bisa tumbuh," kata dia. Ke depan, Pertamina menargetkan produksi migas tumbuh 8% per tahun, sementara cadangan gas bertambah 4,4% per tahun.

Kontribusi Finansial

Sementara dari sisi finansial, Meidawati mengakui, kontribusi sektor hulu terhadap total laba perseroan justru menurun pada tahun ini. Pada tahun lalu, sektor hulu tercatat menyumbang US$ 980 juta atau 31% dari realisasi laba perseroan US$ 3,14 miliar. 

Sementara tahun ini kontribusi hulu turun tipis jadi 30%, rincinya sebesar US$ 905 juta dari target total laba US$ 3,04 miliar. “Namun, secara jumlah pekerjaan sebenarnya yang dilakukan tahun ini lebih banyak,” ujar dia.

Dia menyebutkan ada beberapa faktor yang memangkas kontribusi hulu terhadap laba perusahaan. Pertama, beberapa kegiatan seismik yang ditunda tahun lalu karena harga minyak turun drastis, akan digarap tahun ini. 

Kedua, banyak proyek migas yang mulai beroperasi turut menaikkan biaya perawatan. Terakhir, adanya kebijakan penurunan harga gas untuk sektor tertentu yang ditetapkan pemerintah.

Soal harga gas, beberapa anak usaha Pertamina ada yang terkena imbas kebijakan ini. “Gas dari PHE (Pertamina Hulu Energi) ada yang ke pupuk dan petrokimia, ini berdampak sekitar 15%,” tutur dia. 

    Blok migas di bawah PHE yang terkena dampak kebijakan harga ini adalah Blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), North Sumatera Offshore, North Sumatera Block B, dan Ogan Komering. 

Selain itu juga beberapa blok yang dikelola PT Pertamina EP Untuk meminimalisir imbas kebijakan ini, pihaknya punya beberapa strategi. Rincinya, mempercepat temuan eksplorasi masuk ke fase produksi, efisiensi dan efektivitas biaya, serta menggunakan teknologi tepat guna.

“Selain itu, makanya produksi minyak digenjot karena harga minyak masih cukup bagus,” ujar dia. Pertamina mengasumsikan harga minyak tahun ini akan di kisaran US$ 45 per barel. Sementara realisasi harga minyak sudah di atas US$ 50 per barel.

Arrears 40 Oil and Gas Contractors Reach US $ 350 Million

Oil and Gas SKK 40 PSC's having trouble finding it because untracked continuing involvement in Indonesia. SKK Migas said that the total arrears originally reached about US $ 400 million and only managed to collect $ 50 million of them.

Special Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) has noted that to date there are 40 cooperation contracts (PSC), which has not paid a bonus of signatures (signature bonus) and the certainty of commitment (firm commitment).

The total value of arrears reached US $ 350 million, or equivalent to Rp 4.66 trillion. SKK Migas originally called the total arrears reached about US $ 400 million, and only managed to collect $ 50 million of them. Secretary Agustiono SKK Migas Budi explained that two types of deposit payment was supposed to be done 30 days after they won the bid an oil and gas block.

According to Budi, SKK Migas difficulty of tracing the whereabouts of 40 PSC. The agency claims to have repeatedly tried to contact and seek their existence, either by writing them as well as through announcements via mass media. "Already many times we will announce in the newspapers, we find the address but could not find," said Budi usai exposure to the performance of the upstream oil the first quarter of 2017, Friday (7/4).

Moreover, this time they will no longer be the operator, because the government has decided to contract them. Unfortunately, SKK Migas did not want to open up the names of the PSC are still in arrears. But clearly, SKK Migas has been collaborating with the Indonesian Embassy to contact the delinquent contractor. Among them is the Indonesian embassy in Canada and Mexico.

No authority

SKK Migas, said Budi, lamented the problem of arrears by the contractor's obligations. Moreover, this agency was not able to do anything because the task of SKK Migas only as an implementing agency. According to Budi, during SKK Migas not the institution conducting oil and gas block auction, the winning bidder or approved of the block.

"We were blamed for the 40 commitments. Why not pay? It's a contract that was recently the first year not to do seismic risk exists in the country," said Budi. In fact, if SKK Migas could make a decision, then they are not only able to prevent their arrears, but also can increase the production of oil and gas.

To that end, SKK Migas was already submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in order in the revised Act new Oil and Gas, Oil and Gas SKK can be an institution that can make a decision. "We have conveyed somehow made what is not in the Ministry, the agency wanted to go all out, all decisions in this institution, would shape Special Business Entity or the State Owned Enterprises Special or SOE, the important thing was one to increase the production of" Budi said.

IGN Wiratmaja Puja Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources said, billing remains the task of SKK Migas. "In discussing the government to be talking SKK Migas for the business. Domain to SKK oil and gas business," he said.

Executive Director of the Indonesia Petroleum 'Association (IPA) Marjjolijn Wajong revealed similar situation with Wiratmaja. "The issue of arrears, because all the existing rules," he said.

Tunggakan 40 Kontraktor Migas Mencapai US$ 350 Juta

SKK Migas merasa kesulitan mencari 40 KKKS itu karena tidak terlacak Iagi di Indonesia. SKK Migas menyebutkan total tunggakan semula mencapai sekitar US$ 400 juta dan baru berhasil menagih sebesar US$ 50 juta diantaranya.

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mencatat, hingga saat ini ada 40 kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) yang belum membayar bonus tanda-tangan (signature bonus) dan komitmen kepastian (firm commitment).

Total nilai tunggakan mencapai US$ 350 juta, atau setara dengan Rp 4,66 triliun. SKK Migas menyebut total tunggakan semula mencapai sekitar US$ 400 juta, dan hanya berhasil menagih sebesar US$ 50 juta diantaranya. Sekretaris SKK Migas Budi Agustiono menjelaskan, pembayaran dua jenis setoran itu mestinya dilakukan 30 hari setelah mereka memenangkan tender suatu blok migas.

Menurut Budi, SKK Migas kesulitan melacak keberadaan 40 KKKS tersebut. Instansi ini mengklaim sudah berulangkali mencoba menghubungi dan mencari keberadaan mereka, baik dengan menyurati mereka maupun melalui pengumuman lewat media massa. "Sudah berkali-kali kami umumkan di koran, kami cari alamatnya tapi tidak ketemu," kata Budi usai paparan kinerja hulu migas kuartal I-2017, Jumat (7/4).

Selain itu, saat ini mereka tidak lagi menjadi operator, karena pemerintah sudah memutuskan kontrak mereka. Sayangnya, SKK Migas tidak mau membuka nama-nama KKKS yang masih menunggak itu. Namun yang jelas, SKK Migas telah bekerjasama dengan sejumlah Kedutaan Besar Indonesia untuk menghubungi kontraktor penunggak itu. Di antaranya adalah Kedutaan besar Indonesia di Kanada dan Meksiko.

Tidak punya wewenang 

SKK Migas, kata Budi, menyesalkan masalah tunggakan kewajiban oleh kontraktor ini. Apalagi instansi ini merasa tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa karena tugas SKK Migas hanya sebagai badan pelaksana. Menurut Budi, selama ini SKK Migas bukan lembaga yang melakukan lelang blok migas, ataupun menyetujui pemenang lelang blok tersebut. 

"Kami yang disalahkan atas 40 komitmen. Kenapa belum bayar? Ini kontrak yang baru-baru tahun pertama tidak lakukan seismik, risiko ada pada negara," kata Budi. Padahal, Jika SKK Migas bisa membuat keputusan, maka mereka tidak hanya bisa mencegah adanya tunggakan, tapi juga bisa meningkatkan produksi migas. 

Untuk itu, SKK Migas pun sudah mengajukan ke Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) agar dalam revisi Undang-Undang Migas yang baru, SKK Migas bisa menjadi lembaga yang bisa membuat keputusan. "Kami sudah sampaikan entah di buat apa tidak di Kementerian, inginnya lembaga ini all out, semua keputusan di lembaga ini, mau bentuknya Badan Usaha Khusus atau Badan Usaha Milik Negara Khusus atau BUMN, yang penting itu satu untuk tingkatkan produksi" ujar Budi.

IGN Wiratmaja Puja Direktur Jenderal Migas Kementerian ESDM mengatakan, penagihan tetap jadi tugas SKK Migas. "Di diskusikan ke pemerintah yang boleh bicara SKK Migas karena itu bisnis. Domain bisnis ke SKK Migas," ujarnya.

Direktur Eksekutif Indonesia Petroleum "Association (IPA) Marjjolijn Wajong menyatakan hal senada dengan Wiratmaja. "Soal tunggakan, sebab semua sudah ada aturannya," ujarnya.

SKK Migas: 14 Field Ready Production in 2017

Special Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) targets 14 upstream oil and gas projects could produce or onstream throughout 2017. A total of six projects in upstream oil and gas also has started production in the first quarter of 2017.

Such projects are projects Ario Damar-Sri Wijaya that in doing Tropik Energy Contractors Pandan, orioles Phase 1 by Petronas Carigali Muriah Ltd. Then, Ridho by Odira Energy Karang Agung, Cikarang Tegal Pacing by Pertamina ER PHE-12 by WMO, and CPP-2 by WMO.

Secretary Agustyono SKK Migas Budi said six project is currently still in the initial stages so that production is still small onstream.

"From onstream between January to March. Over time, we expect production will continue to increase as targeted," he said. Meanwhile, in the Phase II Kepodang no additional production. Because this project is a modification of the facility to maintain production. Outside of the six projects, other projects are ready for production and the Eastern Bloc SKG Musi elephant Paku, Matindok operated by Pertamina EP

Then, Madura BD operated by CNOOC Husky targeted Madura Ltd onstream in May 2017. The project is projected to produce 6,600 barrels of oil equivalent oil or nag oil per day (bopd) and gas of 110 MMSCFD.

Pertamina Oil and Gas Production Up

PT Pertamina recorded a rise in oil and gas production during the first quarter / 2017 compared with the same period last year, supported by Cepu and oil and gas fields abroad.

Upstream Senior Vice President Strategic Planning and Operations Evaluation PT Pertamina Meidawati say, in the first three months of 2017, production of oil and natural gas company is still rising compared with the same period last year.

In the first quarter / 2017, oil production touched 318,000 barrels per day (bpd) or more higher than the achievement of the same period in 2016 as much as 306,000 bpd. Meanwhile, gas production of 1,969 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) higher compared to the same period last year 1,781 MMSCFD.

Of these achievements, he considered that the production of the Cepu Block dioperatori by ExxonMobil Cepu Limited accounted for 88,000 bpd because Pertamina's subsidiary PT Pertamina EP Cepu holds 45% share participation (participating interest / PI)

On the other hand, oil production from overseas assets originating from Algeria, Iraq, and Malaysia 87,000 bpd higher than the same period of achievement, and 85,000 bpd. Meanwhile, overseas gas production from 266 MMSCFD gas or higher than the same period last year 196 MMSCFD.

"The contribution of the increase in production of Pertamina EP Cepu and Pertamina International," he has declared.

According to him, in 2017 the company plans to boost oil production to cover the 2016 profit down 10% -15% due to changes in upstream gas prices for the fertilizer industry, petrochemical, and steel in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral No. 40/2016 on Natural Gas Prices for Industry Specific.

At the end of 2016, the government set the price formula upstream gas for the fertilizer industry, petrochemical, and steel with a total volume of 390 MMSCFD of PT Pertamina EP, Pertamina Hulu Energy Offshore Northwest Java (ONWJ), JOB PHE North Sumatra Block B, JOB PHE North Sumatra Offshore and Talisman PHE JOB Ogan Ogan. Beleid through it, the price of gas for the third industrial sector was trimmed so that affect the revenue Pertamina.

Throughout 2016, profits from upstream oil and gas Pertamina US $ 980 million with an oil price assumption of US $ 40 per barrel. Meanwhile, the upstream sector earnings this year is targeted only US $ 905 million with an oil price assumption of US $ 4S barrel. Other steps are also encouraged that the efficiency in upstream oil and gas sector and increase oil production.

"That's for fertilizer, steel, and petrochemical influence 10% to 15%, hence boosted its oil production and we push it too in order to speed up the exploration phase to production," he said.

In the same occasion, Pertamina's upstream director Syamsu Alam said it spur the production of oil and gas. For example, it set a target production of Pertamina EP could touch 100,000 bpd of production by an average of 85,000 bpd although only last a few days. "EP we challenge the production of 100,000 bpd, although only a day, now only 85,000 bpd of production," he said.

Meanwhile, PT Pertamina EP as the manager of Subang Field record total crude oil production reached 1,409 barrels per day during the quarter I / 2017.

Produksi Migas Pertamina Naik

PT Pertamina mencatatkan kenaikan produksi minyak dan gas bumi selama kuartal I/2017 dibandingkan dengan periode yang sama tahun lalu yang di dukung oleh Blok Cepu dan lapangan migas di luar negeri.

Senior Vice President Upstream Strategic Planning and Operation Evaluation PT Pertamina Meidawati mengatakan, pada tiga bulan pertama 2017, produksi minyak dan gas bumi perseroan masih naik dibandingkan dengan periode yang sama tahun lalu.

Pada kuartal I/2017, produksi minyak menyentuh level 318.000 barel per hari (bph) atau lebih tinggi dari capaian periode yang sama 2016 sebanyak 306.000 bph. Sementara itu, produksi gas 1.969 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd) lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan periode yang sama tahun lalu 1.781 MMscfd.

Dari capaian tersebut, dia menilai bahwa produksi Blok Cepu yang dioperatori oleh ExxonMobil Cepu Limited menyumbang 88.000 bph karena anak usaha Pertamina yakni PT Pertamina EP Cepu menguasai 45% saham partisipasi (participating interest/PI) 

Di sisi lain, produksi minyak Pertamina dari aset di luar negeri yang berasal dari Aljazair, Irak, dan Malaysia 87.000 bph atau lebih tinggi dari capaian periode yang sama tahun, lalu 85.000 bph. Sementara itu, produksi gas dari luar negeri 266 MMscfd gas atau lebih tinggi dari periode yang sama tahun lalu 196 MMscfd.

“Kontribusi kenaikan produksi dari Pertamina EP Cepu dan Pertamina International," kataya.

Menurutnya, pada 2017 perseroan akan menggenjot produksi minyak untuk menutup laba 2016 yang turun 10%-15% akibat perubahan harga gas hulu untuk sektor industri pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja sesuai dengan Peraturan Menteri ESDM No. 40/2016 tentang Harga Gas Bumi bagi Industri Tertentu.

Pada akhir 2016, pemerintah mengatur ulang formula harga gas hulu untuk industri pupuk, petrokimia, dan baja dengan volume total 390 MMscfd dari PT Pertamina EP, Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore Northwest Java (ONWJ), JOB PHE North Sumatera Blok B, JOB PHE North Sumatera Offshore dan JOB PHE Talisman Ogan Komering. Melalui beleid itu, harga gas untuk ketiga sektor industri itu dipangkas sehingga memengaruhi pendapatan Pertamina. 

Sepanjang 2016, laba dari sektor hulu migas Pertamina US$980 juta dengan asumsi harga minyak US$ 40 per barel. Sementara itu, laba sektor hulu pada tahun ini ditargetkan hanya US$ 905 juta dengan asumsi harga minyak US$ 4S per barel. Langkah lain yang juga dipacu yakni efisiensi di sektor hulu migas dan meningkatkan produksi migas.

“Itu untuk pupuk, baja, dan petrokimia pengaruhnya 10% sampai 15%, makanya digenjot produksi minyaknya dan kita dorong juga agar percepat fase eksplorasi ke produksi,” katanya.

Dalam kesempatan yang sama, Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam mengatakan, pihaknya memacu produksi minyak dan gas bumi. Sebagai contoh, pihaknya memasang target produksi Pertamina EP bisa menyentuh 100.000 bph dari produksi rata-rata sebesar 85.000 bph meskipun hanya bertahan beberapa hari. “EP kita challenge produksinya 100.000 bph, walaupun hanya sehari, sekarang hanya 85.000 bph produksinya,” katanya. 

Sementara itu, PT Pertamina EP selaku pengelola Subang Field mencatatkan total produksi minyak bumi mencapai 1.409 bph selama kuartal I/2017.

Oil and Gas Three Months l Positive

National oil production can be achieved due to higher production of Banyu Urip operated by Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited.

Implementing Activity Unit Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) has noted that oil production in the first quarter 2017 shows positive outcomes, as well as the realization of gas production. 

    The data showed recovery of oil production in the first quarter 2017 was 815.6 thousand barrels per day (MBOPD). The achievement was surpassed production targets in the posture of the State Budget (APBN) 2017 815 MBOPD set.

National oil production can be achieved due to higher production of Banyu Urip dioperatori Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited (EMLC). Known, the cooperation contract (PSC) from the United States is targeting oil production at the level of 200 thousand bpd this year. 

    Gas production in the first quarter 2017 reached 7.740 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD). Thus, overall, the realization of oil and gas production from the period January until March 2017 is 2,198 mboped.

"Achievement of oil production less (than the Budget target of 2017) for the Banyu Urip is no increase in production. Previously, there was a promise between SKK Migas and the Minister of Energy to raise production to 825 thousand bopd. We're trying to do, but not the target, "said Secretary of SKK Migas Budi Agustyono in Cilegon, Banten.

However, production ready for sale or oil lifting was lower than the budget target, which is 787.53 thousand bopd. This is due to the influence of external factors such as unfavorable climatic conditions. Ships can not move closer to the delivery of oil production was inhibited.

Similar conditions also approached the gas lifting target recorded 6,356 MMSCFD. The achievement is lower than the target gas in the Budget 2017 Lifting 6.440 MMSCFD. Achievement of oil and gas lifting the first quarter of 2017 reached 1,943 mboped. 

    SKK Migas has asked the PSC in order to improve the quality of the tanker that is able to anticipate bad weather. He stressed the readiness of transport has a high urgency against the target of lifting.

"Do not be surprised if lifting is different from the production, because lifting it depends on the readiness of transport. If (oil) that is not transported might be saved, "he said.

Achievement of upstream oil and gas investment in the first quarter was US $ 1.9 billion, or just 14% of the target in 2017, US $ 13.8 billion. SKK emphasize the realization of investment also depends on the implementation of the work program and budget and the speed of an engineering, procurement and construction.

Rocketing

Yesterday, oil prices continued the upward trend. US missile strikes into Syria add ammunition to the rise in world crude oil prices. Brent prices rose 76 cents to US $ 55.60 per barrel. "The situation is very difficult in Syria as the implications of the massive US missile attack," said senior analyst at Oanda, jeffrey Halley.

Sukrit Vijayakar of Trifegta Consultants said the oil price will still rise next few months.

Migas Tiga Bulan I Positif

Produksi minyak nasional dapat tercapai seiring dengan kenaikan produksi Lapangan Banyu Urip yang dioperasikan Exxon Mobil Limited Cepu.

Satuan Kegiatan Pelaksana Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mencatat, produksi minyak pada kuartal I 2017 menunjukkan capaian positif, begitu pula realisasi produksi gas. 

    Data menunjukkan perolehan produksi minyak pada kuartal I 2017 ialah 815,6 ribu barel per hari (mbopd). Capaian itu melampaui target produksi dalam postur Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja Negara (APBN) 2017 yang dipatok 815 mbopd.

Produksi minyak nasional dapat tercapai seiring dengan kenaikan produksi Lapangan Banyu Urip yang dioperatori Exxon Mobil Limited Cepu (EMLC). Diketahui, kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) asal Amerika Serikat itu menargetkan produksi minyak di level 200 ribu bopd tahun ini. 

    Produksi gas per kuartal I 2017 mencapai 7,740 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd). Dengan demikian, secara keseluruhan, realisasi produksi migas dari periode Januari hingga Maret 2017 ialah 2,198 mboped.

“Pencapaian produksi minyak lebih sedikit (daripada target APBN 2017) karena Banyu Urip ada kenaikan produksi. Sebelumnya, ada janji antara SKK Migas dan Menteri ESDM untuk menaikkan produksi hingga 825 ribu bopd. Kita upayakan, tapi bukan target,” tutur Sekretaris SKK Migas Budi Agustyono di Cilegon, Banten.

    Namun, produksi siap jual atau lifting minyak tercatat lebih rendah daripada target APBN, yakni 787,53 ribu bopd. Hal itu disebabkan adanya pengaruh faktor eksternal seperti, kondisi iklim yang kurang kondusif. Kapal tidak bisa merapat sehingga pengiriman produksi minyak pun terhambat.

Kondisi serupa juga menghampiri target lifting gas yang tercatat 6,356 mmscfd. Capaian tersebut lebih rendah daripada target liting gas dalam APBN 2017 6,440 mmscfd. Pencapaian lifting migas per kuartal I 2017 mencapai 1,943 mboped. 

    SKK Migas telah meminta KKKS agar meningkatkan kualitas tanker yang mampu mengantisipasi cuaca buruk. Dia menekankan kesiapan transportasi memiliki urgensi tinggi terhadap target lifting.

“Jangan kaget kalau lifting berbeda dengan produksi, karena lifting ini tergantung kesiapan transportasi. Kalau minyak (oil) yang tidak terangkut mungkin bisa disimpan,” katanya.

     Pencapaian investasi hulu migas per kuartal I ialah US$ 1,9 miliar atau baru 14% dari target 2017, US$13,8 miliar. SKK menekankan, realisasi investasi juga bergantung pada pelaksanaan work program and budget dan kecepatan kontrak engineering, procurement, and construction. 

Minyak meroket

   Kemarin, harga minyak dunia melanjutkan tren kenaikan. Serangan rudal Amerika Serikat ke Suriah menambah amunisi bagi kenaikan harga minyak mentah dunia. Harga minyak Brent naik 76 sen ke level US$55,60 per barel.

“Situasinya sangat sulit di Suriah sebagai implikasi dari serangan masif rudal AS, “ kata analis senior Oanda, jeffrey Halley.

Sukrit Vijayakar dari Trifegta Consultants mengatakan harga minyak masih akan naik beberapa bulan mendatang.
