50 Percent of the National Oil Supplies In Imports

Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar said 50 percent of the national scale oil needs to be imported.

"The need for a national energy than petroleum sector currently reaches 1.6 million barrels per day, while the national production of petroleum Indonesia is only about 800 thousand barrels per day," he said.

Therefore, national energy security issues become the focus of the government in efforts to achieve energy independence as set out in the program "Nawacita / Nine Hope"

He revealed the operation of petroleum storage tanks owned by PT Karimun in the Gulf Oil tanking Lekup, District West Meral , Karimun regency, Riau Islands Province, in an effort to energy independence.

According Arcandra, the construction of fuel storage tanks are one of the efforts in enhancing national energy security. "With this we hope that energy security can be enhanced in an effort that the domestic needs, mainly oil products," he said.

Number of Indonesian petroleum products needs amounting to 68-70 million liters per year. This amount is equal to 250 thousand kiloliters of oil needs in a day. With a total capacity of 730 thousand kiloliters, the operation of PT Oiltanking Karimun storage tank is equal to the addition of a three-day domestic fuel needs.

Earlier, Governor of Bank Indonesia Agus Martowardojo said fuel and LPG prices may be adjusted in the second half of 2017.

"We are still discussing whether conditions allow for adjustment," he said. Agus said one thing to consider is the time for adjustment.

The government should ensure the price adjustment does not occur when inflation is high. According to him, the momentum of a deflation of 0.02 percent last month is a good opportunity.

50 Persen Kebutuhan Minyak Nasional Di Impor

    Wakil Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arcandra Tahar mengatakan 50 persen kebutuhan minyak skala nasional harus di impor.

“Kebutuhan energi nasional dari sektor minyak bumi saat ini mencapai 1,6 juta barel per hari, sementara produksi nasional minyak bumi Indonesia hanya sekitar 800 ribu barel per hari,” katanya.

    Karena itu, isu ketahanan energi nasional menjadi fokus pemerintah dalam upaya mewujudkan kemandirian energi seperti yang tertuang dalam program "Nawacita/Sembilan Harapan"

Dia mengungkapkan beroperasinya tangki penyimpanan BBM milik PT Oil tanking Karimun di Teluk Lekup, Kecamatan Meral Barat, Kabupaten Karimun, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau, sebagai upaya kemandirian energi.

Menurut Arcandra, pembangunan tangki penyimpanan BBM ini adalah salah satu upaya dalam meningkatkan ketahanan energi nasional. “Dengan ini kami berharap supaya ketahanan energi bisa ditingkatkan lagi dalam upaya agar kebutuhan dalam negeri, terutama oil product,” kata dia.

Jumlah kebutuhan produk BBM Indonesia sebesar 68-70 juta kiloliter per tahun. Jumlah ini sama dengan 250 ribu kiloliter kebutuhan minyak dalam sehari. Dengan kapasitas total sebanyak 730 ribu kilo liter, beroperasinya tangki penyimpanan PT Oiltanking Karimun ini sama dengan penambahan tiga hari kebutuhan BBM di dalam negeri.

Sebelumnya, Gubernur Bank Indonesia Agus Martowardojo mengatakan harga BBM dan elpiji mungkin akan disesuaikan pada semester II 2017.

“Kami masih diskusi apakah kondisinya memungkinkan untuk penyesuaian,” ujar dia. Agus mengatakan salah satu hal yang perlu dipertimbangkan adalah waktu penyesuaian.

Pemerintah harus memastikan penyesuaian harga tidak terjadi saat tekanan inflasi sedang tinggi. Menurut dia, momentum deflasi sebesar 0,02 persen bulan lalu merupakan kesempatan baik.

PI Offer 10% Still Hampered

Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) noted that there are 10 oil and gas companies that do not yet offer participation rights (participating interest) 10% to the local government in which they operate. This is because the participation rights deals is not so simple that takes time.

As is known, pursuant to Rule Minister 37/2016, oil and gas companies or cooperation contract (PSC) should offer participation rights of 10% to the area owned enterprises (enterprises). This must be done since the field development plan will first be produced to be on land or offshore up to 12 nautical miles.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources has appointed Ignasius Jonan where enterprises are eligible for this offer participation rights. Enterprises that are entitled to the offer must be owned entirely by the local government, or in the form of a limited liability company with 99% owned by the regional government, its status was passed through the local legislation and does not conduct business activities other than the management of the PI for one work area. However, until now, there are 10 KKKS not make offers to enterprises that have been designated.

Ten PSC is namely Pertamina Hulu Energi ONWJ for the Offshore North West Java, West Java, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam for the Mahakam block in East Kalimantan, Pertamina Hulu Energi WMO for West Madura Offshore Block in East Java, Petronas Carigali Ketapang to Block Ketapang in East Java and Kangean Energy Indonesia's Kangean block in East Java.

Furthermore, Chevron Rapak to block Rapak in East Kalimantan, the Chevron Ganal to block Ganal in East Kalimantan, Petronas Carigali Muria for Muriah Block in Central Java, Sele Raya Merangin II to Block Merangin II in South Sumatra, and JOB Pertamina Medco Simenggaris to block Simenggaris in East Kalimantan.

Senior Vice President Upstream Business Development of PT Pertamina Denie Tampubolon said the contractor instead of do not want to offer a 10% participating interest to enterprises. Today too, it also has held talks with the local government. It's just that there are some obstacles that hinder this participation rights deals.

"If we were asked to speak, does not matter. But when it came should not start a signature or anything, I am hard, what are the laws. Pertamina is a state, as long as all clear, why not, "he said.

For the Mahakam block, for example, talks have been conducted with local enterprises. However, enterprises then ask to be able to immediately access relevant data Mahakam block. While Pertamina not have the authority to disclose the data, since the contract came into force on 1 January 2018.

"I am already told friends in the local government, this problem has not become operator Pertamina," he said.

Further to ONWJ, Denie mention deals for changes to the contract has not been made into the scheme of cooperation for gross proceeds (gross split), so it takes time. Offer participation rights have not been taken into account when Pertamina signed a new contract. Meanwhile, if carried out, the company must bear the investment cost of the right of participation to be borne by the local government in advance, without interest.

President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Mount Sardjono Hadi said to Block West Madura Offshore (PHE-WMO), has been carried out since 2012. However, since 2013 Bangkalan discussion with local enterprises stalled. Next to Block Simenggaris, it was agreed that Medco will offer shares to the public enterprises participation.

Offer must be in

Meanwhile, Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Wiratmaja I Gusti Nyoman said the PSC should immediately offered PI 10% to enterprises that have been appointed Minister. On the other hand, local governments are not proposing enterprises, are also asked to submit a proposal.

However, he added, local governments are not obliged to accept the offer of 10% PI. If that happens, the central government will assign state-owned enterprises to take it. Only, he reminds a lot of benefits that are taken by the PI's 10%.

"It's a great benefit. We expect local shares in oil and gas industry and to learn from it, because it can see the data and how its management, "he said.

Denie added that it is ready to execute deals PI 10%. It also has to meet the Association of Oil and Gas Producing area to discuss this PI deals. However, not all ready to enter the area became part of the PSC are working on oil and gas blocks. Each region has a different understanding and experience of the upstream oil and gas business.

"Although initially proposed by the government, in turn discussed b to b (business to business). Origin rules are more open, "said he. Meanwhile, three PI offers 10% to enterprises recorded already completed. 

     In particular, ExxonMobil Cepu Limited for Cepu, Santos (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd for the Madura Offshore Block, and PT Medco E & P Rimau to Block Rimau. Then the PSC which has been offering 10% PI, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Siak for Palmerah Block and PT Medco E & P Indonesia to Block South Sumatra.

Penawaran PI 10% Masih Terkendala

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) mencatat terdapat 10 perusahaan migas yang belum menawarkan hak partisipasi (participating interest) 10% kepada pemerintah daerah di mana mereka beroperasi. Hal ini karena penawaran hak partisipasi bukanlah hal sederhana sehingga membutuhkan waktu.

Seperti diketahui, sesuai Peraturan Menteri ESDM 37/ 2016, perusahaan migas atau kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) harus menawarkan hak partisipasinya 10% kepada badan usaha milik daerah (BUMD). Hal ini wajib dilakukan sejak rencana pengembangan lapangan yang pertama kali akan diproduksi berada di daratan atau lepas pantai sampai dengan 12 mil laut.

Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan telah menunjuk BUMD mana saja yang berhak menerima penawaran hak partisipasi ini. BUMD yang berhak mendapat tawaran harus dimiliki seluruhnya oleh Pemerintah Daerah, atau berupa perseroan terbatas dengan 99% sahamnya dimiliki Pemerintah Daerah, statusnya disahkan melalui Peraturan Daerah dan tidak melakukan kegiatan usaha selain pengelolaan PI untuk satu wilayah kerja. Namun, sampai sekarang, masih ada 10 KKKS yang belum melakukan penawaran kepada BUMD yang telah ditunjuk.

Sepuluh KKKS ini yakni Pertamina Hulu Energi ONWJ untuk Blok Offshore North West Java di Jawa Barat, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam untuk Blok Mahakam di Kalimantan Timur, Pertamina Hulu Energi WMO untuk Blok West Madura Offshore di Jawa Timur, Petronas Carigali Ketapang untuk Blok Ketapang di Jawa Timur, dan Kangean Energy Indonesia untuk Blok Kangean di Jawa Timur.

Selanjutnya, Chevron Rapak untuk Blok Rapak di Kalimantan Timur, Chevron Ganal untuk Blok Ganal di Kalimantan Timur, Petronas Carigali Muria untuk Blok Muriah di Jawa Tengah, Sele Raya Merangin II untuk Blok Merangin II di Sumatera Selatan, dan JOB Pertamina Medco Simenggaris untuk Blok Simenggaris di Kalimantan Timur.

Senior Vice President Upstream Business Development PT Pertamina  Denie Tampubolon mengungkapkan, kontraktor bukannya tidak mau menawarkan hak partisipasi 10% kepada BUMD. Saat ini pun, pihaknya juga sudah melakukan pembicaraan dengan pemerintah daerah. Hanya saja ada beberapa kendala yang menghambat penawaran hak partisipasi ini.

“Kalau kami diminta untuk bicara, tidak masalah. Tetapi kalau sudah sampai boleh tidak mulai tanda tangan atau apa, ini saya yang susah, bagaimana aturannya. Pertamina ini adalah BUMN, selama semua clear, why not,” kata dia.

Untuk Blok Mahakam misalnya, pembicaraan sudah dilakukan dengan BUMD setempat. Namun, BUMD kemudian meminta untuk dapat segera mengakses data-data terkait Blok Mahakam. Sementara Pertamina belum memiliki kewenangan membuka data, karena kontrak mulai berlaku pada 1 Januari 2018 nanti. 

“Saya sudah bilang kepada teman-teman di daerah, ini masalahnya Pertamina belum menjadi operator,” kata dia. 

Selanjutnya untuk Blok ONWJ, Denie menyebutkan penawaran belum dilakukan karena perubahan kontrak kerja sama menjadi skema bagi hasil kotor (gross split), sehingga membutuhkan waktu. Penawaran hak partisipasi ini belum diperhitungkan ketika Pertamina menandatangani kontrak baru. Sementara jika dilakukan, perseroan harus menanggung biaya investasi sebesar hak partisipasi yang menjadi tanggungan pemerintah daerah terlebih dahulu, tanpa bunga.

Presiden Direktur PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Gunung Sardjono Hadi mengatakan untuk Blok West Madura Offshore (PHE-WMO), telah dilakukan sejak 2012. Namun, sejak 2013 pembahasan dengan BUMD Kabupaten Bangkalan terhenti. Selanjutnya untuk Blok Simenggaris, telah disepakati bahwa Medco yang akan menawarkan saham partisipasinya kepada BUMD.

Harus di Tawarkan

Sementara itu, Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja mengatakan, KKKS harus segera menawarkan PI 10% kepada BUMD yang telah ditunjuk Menteri ESDM. Di sisi lain, pemerintah daerah yang belum mengusulkan BUMD, juga diminta untuk segera mengajukan usulan.

Namun, dia menambahkan, pemerintah daerah tidak wajib menerima penawaran PI 10% tersebut. Jika hal itu terjadi, maka pemerintah pusat akan menugaskan BUMN untuk mengambilnya. Hanya saja, dia mengingatkan banyak manfaat yang diambil dengan adanya PI 10% ini.

“Ini manfaatnya besar. Kami harapkan daerah ikut memiliki industri migas dan belajar dari situ, karena bisa melihat data dan bagaimana pengelolaannya,” kata dia. 

Denie menambahkan pihaknya siap mengeksekusi penawaran PI 10%. Pihaknya juga sudah menemui Asosiasi daerah Penghasil Migas untuk membahas soal penawaran PI ini. Hanya saja, tidak semua daerah siap masuk menjadi bagian dari KKKS yang menggarap blok migas. Setiap daerah memiliki pemahaman dan pengalaman berbeda tentang bisnis hulu migas.

“Meski awalnya usulan dari pemerintah, pada akhirnya dibahas b to b (business to business). Asal peraturannya lebih terbuka saja,” kata dia. Sementara itu, tiga penawaran PI 10% ke BUMD tercatat sudah selesai. 

     Rincinya, ExxonMobil Cepu Limited untuk Blok Cepu, Santos (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd untuk Blok Madura Offshore, dan PT Medco E&P Rimau untuk Blok Rimau. Kemudian KKKS yang telah menawarkan PI 10% yakni PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Siak untuk Blok Palmerah dan PT Medco E&P Indonesia untuk Blok South Sumatera.

Vice President Corporate Communication Pertamina Adiatma Sardjito masih enggan menyebutkan program kerja dan rencana akuisisi lapangan migas pasca akuisisi oleh PT Pertamina International EP. "Sementara konsolidasi dulu," katanya.

Adiatma menjelaskan, Maurel & Prom memiliki karakter perusahaan yang dinamis dan mampu mengembangkan portofolio dengan cepat di berbagai negara. Sementara Pertamina adalah national oil company yang berbisnis secara objektif dengan jangka panjang.

Pertamina ingin melakukan sinergi kedua karakter kuat ini untuk pengembangan keduanya. Apalagi pasca akuisisi tersebut, PT Pertamina International EP langsung tercatat memiliki akses operasi di 12 negara dan empat benua. Sebelumnya PT Pertamina International EP hanya beroperasi tiga negara, yaitu Malaysia, Aljazair dan lrak. Tambahan negara tersebut di antaranya merupakan aset produksi dan eksplorasi Maurel & Prom. 

Adapun aset; produksi Maurel & Prom berada di Gabon, Tanzania dan Nigeria. Aset eksplorasi berada di Namibia, Kanada, Kolombia, Prancis, Italia, dan Myanmar. Pasca akuisisi Maurel & Prom, Pertamina juga mendapatkan tambahan produksi minyak sebesar 30-000 barel per hari atau barel oil per day (BOPD). 

Menurut Adiatma, sejak awal 2014 hingga awal 2017, produksi Pertamina dari aset internasional telah tumbuh hingga 150.000 barel setara minyak per hari atau barels of Oil equivalent per day (BOEPD) net-to-share.

Di perusahaan Prancis itu, Pertamina menempatkan tiga perwakilan sebagai Chairman & dua anggota Board Of Directors Maurel & Prom. sebagai Chairman of the Board, Huddie Dewanto dan Maria R. Nellia sebagai Members of the Board Maurel & Prom.

Akuisisi Lapangan 

Biarpun berhasil mengakusisi Maurel & Prom, Pertamina terus berusaha mengakuisisi lapangan migas di negara lain. Sejauh ini akuisisi lapangan migas lain masih dalam proses. Pertamina mengincar beberapa lapangan migas di Iuar negeri yaitu dua lapangan migas di Rusia, yaitu lapangan migas Chayvo dan lapangan Russkoye. Pertamina telah mengirimkan proposal penawaran untuk kedua lapangan tersebut.

Lapangan migas lain adalah lapangan AB Teymour dan Mansouri di Iran. Pertamina juga telah mengirimkan proposal untuk dua lapangan tersebut. 

Direktur Hulu Pertamina, Syamsu Alam menyatakan, proposal Pertamina telah diterima oleh Pemerintah Iran. Bahkan Pemerintah Iran telah melakukan kunjungan ke Indonesia untuk melihat kinerja operasional hulu migas Pertamina. 

"Wakil Direktur utamanya juga ke Indonesia ketemu Wakil Menteri, mereka melihat ONWJ seperti apa, ingin melihat lapangan-lapangan Pertamina seperti apa, tentang operasi kita. Dan mereka cukup terkesan," katanya.

Selain itu, Pertamina telah bicara dengan perusahaan lokal yang nantinya akan di ajak bekerjasama di dua lapangan tersebut. Ini merupakan syarat dari Pemerintah Iran bagi perusahaan migas yang ingin mengelola Iapangan migas di Iran.
