Old Wells Will Be Managed BUMD

PT Pertamina EP: Production Should be paid to the State

The management of old wells in Bojonegoro District requires certainty for the sustainability of the management in line with the end of the contract of work. Therefore, from the meeting between the Government of Bojonegoro Regency and the Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) and PT Pertamina EP, it is agreed that the management will be handed over to the Regional Owned Enterprises (BUMD).

"Based on the previous meeting between the Government of Bojonegoro Regency, SKK Migas and PT Pertamina EP, an agreement was reached Which in essence the management of old wells will be managed by BUMD, "said Head of Department of Industry and Manpower of Bojonegoro Regency, Agus Supriyanto after the meeting which was held on Tuesday (11/7).

The former Head of ESDM Department of Bojonegoro Regency said that in the near future the old well contract will end and require certainty for the continuation of the old well management.

"Following the end of old well management contracts over the next few years, we want to see how the implementation of old wells such as existing management in Kabupaten Blora", explained Agus.

Agus said, this certainty is very important for miners so they can do the work in accordance with the Regulations Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 1 Year 2008 on Management of Old Wells, it needs certainty of this contract can be continued With PT Pertamina EP.

Tony Ade Iriawan as President Director of PT Bojonegoro Bangun Sarana, BUMD Kabupaten Bojonegoro said BUMD has prepared the concept that has been submitted to the Regent of Bojonegoro and PT Pertamina EP.

"We have prepared the concept as a miner's companion, we have approached the miners to join the BUMD. Of the 16 miners, 14 figures have agreed to join the BUMD ", explains Tony.

Meanwhile, Chalid Said Salim Operation & Production Director of PT Pertamina EP explained related to the problem Old wells in Bojonegoro District, Board of Directors of PT Pertamina EP decided to manage Old Wells refers to

In the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) No. 1 Year 2008 is in cooperation with Village Unit Cooperative (KUD) or BUMD.

"Nevertheless we remain committed to maintaining petroleum production managed by miners to enter the state, with a deposit through PT Pertamina EP," Chalid added.

      Meanwhile, Tony Wicaksono Head of Dept. of Labor and Wells SKK Migas explained that the proposal submitted by PT Pertamina EP is in accordance with the direction of the Ministry of Political Economy Law and Human Rights (Kemenkopolhukam) and the Ministry of ESDM to return to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 1 of 2008.

"With the proposal from PT Pertamina EP to return to the Regulation of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 1 Year 2008 involving BUMD Or KUD then it is in accordance with our expectations in SKK Migas. That we all start back from the beginning for the management of this old well and is expected in the future to be better, "said Tony Wicaksono.

Sumur Tua Akan Dikelola BUMD

PT  Pertamina EP : Hasil Produksi Harus Disetor kepada Negara

Pengelolaan sumur tua yang ada di Kabupaten Bojonegoro membutuhkan kepastian untuk kelanjutan pengelolaan seiring dengan akan berakhirnya kontrak pengerjaan. Karena itu, dari hasil rapat antara Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro dengan Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) dan PT Pertamina EP, disepakati pengelolaan diserahkan kepada Badan Usaha Milik Daerah (BUMD).

“Sesuai pertemuan sebelumnya antara Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro, SKK Migas dan PT Pertamina EP didapatkan kesepakatan

yang intinya pengelolaan sumur tua akan dikelola oleh BUMD,” ujar Kepala Dinas Perindustrian dan Tenaga Kerja Kabupaten Bojonegoro, Agus Supriyanto usai rapat yang digelar Selasa (11/7) lalu.

Mantan Kepala Dinas ESDM Kabupaten Bojonegoro tersebut menyampaikan bahwa dalam waktu dekat kontrak sumur tua akan berakhir dan membutuhkan kepastian untuk kelanjutan pengelolaan sumur tua. 

“Menindaklanjuti akan berakhirnya kontrak pengelolaan sumur tua beberapa waktu ke depan, kami ingin melihat bagaimana implementasi sumur tua seperti pengelolaan yang ada di Kabupaten Blora”, jelas Agus.

Dikatakan Agus, kepastian ini sangat penting bagi penambang agar mereka bisa melakukan pekerjaan sesuai dengan Peraturan

Menteri ESDM No 1 Tahun 2008 tentang Pengelolaan Sumur Tua, pihaknya membutuhkan kepastian kontrak ini bisa dilanjutkan

dengan PT Pertamina EP.

Tony Ade Iriawan selaku Direktur Utama PT Bojonegoro Bangun Sarana, BUMD Kabupaten Bojonegoro mengungkapkan BUMD telah mempersiapkan konsep yang sudah disampaikan kepada Bupati Bojonegoro dan PT Pertamina EP.

“Kami sudah menyiapkan konsep sebagai pendamping penambang, kami sudah melakukan pendekatan kepada para penambang agar mau bergabung dengan BUMD. Dari 16 tokoh penambang, 14 tokoh telah setuju untuk bergabung dengan BUMD", jelas Tony.

Gas Industry Need Innovation

Commercial Director of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) Danny Praditya assess, to increase domestic gas utilization, big challenges are required. However, behind the challenge, there are actually opportunities that are also equally great For all parties.

The first challenge is the acceleration of market and infrastructure development. In 2025, PGN's target adds 40 thousand kilometers more gas pipelines and some liquefied natural gas (LNG) hubs to the distribution system.

"So there needs to be Innovations, both in technology, business model, up to the governance," said Danny in the event Gas Indonesia Summit & exhibition 2017, at Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta, Wednesday (12/7).

In addition, Indonesia is currently required to be more competitive so that the demand for competitive gas prices continues to be delivered by the industry. The next challenge is that Indonesia must be able to manage the paradox between the need for accelerated development. "But at the same time it must be efficient, the paradox between development and eficiency," he said.

Danny explains, all the challenges must be answered by means of integrated planning and integrated action. Increasing the use of gas requires Innovation in demand creation which involves cross-ministries, investors, and key players in the gas industry.

"Implementation requires synergy of all parties," he said.

Danny said the need for a roadmap or masterplan is in line with energy development, especially gas. One form of integration is to build an Indonesia Gas Master Plan.

Related to liquefied natural gas (LNG), Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of ESDM IGN Wiratmaja Puja said LNG reserves owned by Indonesia was increasing after the operation of several oil and gas blocks. This makes the government has many challenges to be able to develop this liquefied natural gas forward.

He said that until now it opens cooperation opportunities to increase Indonesia's gas utility. Not only to increase gas utilities, but also to distribute the LNG to all over Indonesia.

"Indonesia as an archipelago is a challenge for us, the government, to be able to distribute LNG to all regions, it is necessary to have cooperation," said Wiratmaja while attending the Indonesian Gas Summit at JCC on Wednesday (13/7).

Wiratmaja said domestic demand for domestic LNG in the future will increase. This is also in line with Indonesia's electrification needs through a 35 thousand megawatt program. If all this time Indonesia acts as an importer of LNG, with large reserves and the operation of several oil and gas blocks make Indonesia will be independent in LNG needs.

"This is our challenge for the future, so we will encourage Pertamina and other parties to support this plan," he said.

He added, to be able to succeed this energy independence plan, Wiratmaja explained in front of the forum that Indonesia is cleaning up the regulation revision. This is considered an important government in order to be an investment attraction in the future.

Wiratmaja said the government plans to sell 16 to 18 LNG cargoes that have not been absorbed. This decision is taken considering later LNG production in the country will grow.

He explained, on the one hand, this shows a positive signal that Indonesia will be separated from the dependence of LNG imports as raw materials for electrification. However, on the other hand, the lack of export cargo absorption is becoming a thing that needs to be encouraged by the government.

"This year there are 16-18 cargoes that have not been absorbed and planned to be sold to industries in the country," said Wiratmaja.

lndustri Gas Butuh Inovasi

Direktur komersial PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) Danny Praditya menilai, untuk meningkatkan pemanfaatan gas domestik, dibutuhkan tantangan yang besar. Namun, di balik tantangan tersebut, sebenarnya terdapat peluang yang juga sama besarnya

bagi semua pihak.

Tantangan pertama percepatan pembangunan pasar dan infrastruktur. Pada 2025, target PGN menambah 40 ribu kilometer lebih jaringan pipa gas dan beberapa gas alam cair (LNG) Hub untuk sistem distribusi. 

"Maka perlu ada Inovasi-Inovasi, baik dalam teknologi, model bisnis, sampai dengan tata kelola," ujar Danny dalam acara Gas

Indonesia Summit & exhibition 2017, di Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta, Rabu (12/7). 

Selain itu, saat ini Indonesia dituntut untuk lebih kompetitif sehingga permintaan harga gas yang kompetitif terus disampaikan oleh industri. Tantangan berikutnya adalah Indonesia harus mampu mengelola paradoks antara kebutuhan untuk percepatan pembangunan. "Tapi, di saat yang sama harus menjadi efisien. Paradoks antara development dan eficiency," katanya.

Danny menjelaskan, seluruh tantangan tersebut harus dijawab dengan cara integrated planning dan integrated action. Meningkatkan pemakaian gas membutuhkan Inovasi dalam demand creation yang berarti melibatkan lintas kementerian, investor, dan pemain kunci di industri gas.

"Implementasinya membutuhkan sinergi seluruh pihak,“ tuturnya.

Danny mengungkapkan, diperlukannya peta jalan atau masterplan sejalan dengan pembangunan energi, terutama gas. Salah satu bentuk integrasi tersebut adalah membangun Indonesia Gas Master Plan.

Terkait gas alam cair (LNG), Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Kementerian ESDM IGN Wiratmaja Puja mengatakan, cadangan LNG yang dimiliki oleh Indonesia ternyata semakin bertambah pasca pengoperasian beberapa blok migas. Hal ini membuat pemerintah memiliki banyak tantangan untuk bisa mengembangkan gas alam cair ini kedepan.

Ia mengatakan, pihaknya hingga saat ini membuka peluang kerja sama untuk bisa meningkatkan utilitas gas Indonesia. Tidak hanya untuk meningkatkan utilitas gas, tetapi juga untuk mendistribusikan LNG tersebut ke seluruh Indonesia.

"Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan memang menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi kami, pemerintah. Untuk bisa mendistribusikan LNG ke seluruh wilayah, perlu adanya kerja sama," kata Wiratmaja saat menghadiri Gas Indonesian Summit di JCC, Rabu (13/7). 

Wiratmaja mengatakan, kebutuhan LNG dalam negeri sendiri ke depan akan semakin meningkat. Hal ini juga seiring dengan kebutuhan elektrifikasi Indonesia melalui program 35 ribu megawatt. Jika selama ini Indonesia berperan sebagai importir LNG, dengan cadangan yang besar dan beroperasinya beberapa blok migas membuat Indonesia nantinya bisa mandiri dalam kebutuhan LNG.

"Ini jadi tantangan kita ke depan, jadi kita akan dorong Pertamina dan pihak pihak lain untuk bisa mendukung rencana ini," ujarnya. 

Ia menambahkan, untuk bisa menyukseskan rencana kemandirian energi ini, Wiratmaja menjelaskan di depan forum bahwa Indonesia sedang berbenah melakuan revisi peraturan. Hal ini dinilai pemerintah penting agar bisa menjadi daya tarik investasi ke depan.

Wiratmaja menyatakan, pemerintah berencana untuk menjual 16 hingga 18 kargo LNG yang belum terserap. Keputusan ini diambil mengingat nantinya produksi LNG dalam negeri akan semakin bertambah. 

Ia menjelaskan, di satu sisi, hal ini menunjukkan sinyal positif bahwa Indonesia akan terlepas dari keteragantungan impor LNG sebagai bahan baku elektrifikasi. Namun, di sisi lain, memang minimnya serapan kargo untuk ekspor tersebut menjadi hal yang perlu digenjot oleh pemerintah.

"Tahun ini terdapat 16-18 kargo yang belum terserap dan rencananya akan dijual untuk industri di dalam negeri," ujar Wiratmaja.

Indonesia No Need Gas Import

The government estimates that there is no need to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) by 2019. The reason, the need for about 1,672 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) can be covered from the production of Jangkrik Gas Field, Muara Bakau Block, East Kalimantan.

"Cricket field production is advanced and it turns out good because that was designed 400-450 MMSCFD, but when the test can 600 MMsCFD. So it is unlikely that 2019 will need to be imported because our production is better than expected, "said Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, IGN Wiratmaja Puja, on the sidelines of the Indonesia Gas Summit & Exposition at Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta.

He explained that LNG production can still be encouraged again and Indonesia still has 16-18 LNG cargoes waiting for buyers. The current export potential is not yet focused as all production is still concentrated to meet the needs of Iokal market.

According to Wiratmaja, the main gas supply still concentrates from Bontang-East Kalimantan and Tangguh-Papua. So far, gas supply is predicted to be minus in 2019 and 2020, but it will be resolved until the Tangguh Train 3 Block and Masela Block are operating.

"In 2020 Tangguh Train 3 operation, means our supply will rise again. We hope the Masela Block will start operating in 2025-2027, "he concluded. In the same place, Commercial Director of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) Danny Praditya in his presentation revealed that efforts to improve domestic gas utilization have big challenges.

"The first challenge is the acceleration of market and infrastructure development. There needs to be breakthroughs, whether in technology, business model, up to the governance, "Danny said. The next challenge is to manage the paradox between development needs and efficiency.

Indonesia tidak Perlu Impor Gas

Pemerintah memperkirakan tidak perlu melakukan impor gas alam cair (LNG) pada 2019. Alasannya, kebutuhan sekitar 1.672 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD) itu bisa ditutupi dari produksi Lapangan Gas Jangkrik, Blok Muara Bakau, Kalimantan Timur.

“Lapangan Jangkrik ini produksinya maju dan ternyata bagus sebab yang tadinya didesain 400-450 MMSCFD, tapi saat di tes bisa 600 MMsCFD. Jadi kemungkinan besar 2019 tidak perlu impor karena produksi kita bagus dari yang diperkirakan,” kata Direktur Jenderal Migas Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Minera, IGN Wiratmaja Puja, di sela acara Gas Indonesia Summit & EXhibition di Jakarta Convention Center, Jakarta.

Ia menjelaskan produksi LNG masih bisa digenjot Iagi dan Indonesia masih memiIiki 16-18 kargo LNG yang menunggu pembeli. Potensi ekspor saat ini belum difokuskan karena seluruh produksi masih dikonsentrasikan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pasar Iokal.

Menurut Wiratmaja, pasokan utama gas masih berkonsentrasi dari Bontang-Kalimantan Timur dan Tangguh-Papua. Sejauh ini, pasokan gas diprediksi minus pada 2019 dan 2020, namun hal itu akan teratasi sampai Blok Tangguh Train 3 dan Blok Masela beroperasi.

“Tahun 2020 Tangguh Train 3 operasi, berarti suplai kita akan naik lagi. Kita harap Blok Masela mulai beroperasi tahun 2025-2027,” pungkasnya. Di tempat yang sama, Direktur komersial PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) Danny Praditya dalam paparannya mengungkapkan bahwa upaya meningkatkan pemanfaatan gas domestik memiliki tantangan yang besar.

“Tantangan pertama ialah percepatan pembangunan pasar dan infrastruktur. Perlu ada terobosan-terobosan, baik dalam teknologi, model bisnis, sampai dengan tata kelola,” kata Danny. Tantangan berikutnya ialah mengelola paradoks antara kebutuhan pembangunan dan efisiensi.

Poor Infrastructure May Lead to Idle Gas Supply

Indonesia’s abundant gas supply should have been a blessing as it copes with fast surging energy demand spurred by robust economic growth.

Domestic gas consumption rose by 12.6 percent to 3,997 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) in 2016 from 2012, in contrast to dwindling exports, according to data from the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.

However, the sheer supply may turn into a curse as lack of infrastructure to support gas distribution means some of it remains untouched. The ministry’s oil and gas director-general IGN Wiratmaja Puja revealed Wednesday that there were still 16 to 18 uncommitted cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for this year’s delivery as no buyer has shown interest.

The oversupply also stretched over a longer period of time as shown by the existence of 50 to 60 uncommitted cargoes per year for 2018-2035 delivery, most of which came from the LNG Bontang refinery in East Kalimantan, he added.

MAP OF GAS INFRASTUCTURE IN INDONESIA

“We have a huge supply So, this calls for a strategy to manage the utilization of LNG,” Wiratmaja said during the 2017 Gas Indonesia Summit & Exhibition (GIS) at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC).

“We hope more LNG can be deployed for domestic use to develop the eastern and central parts of Indonesia. However, the challenge lies in [the lack of] gas infrastructure.”

To address the issue, the government has planned to offer a tender for the development of virtual pipelines in four clusters that will connect regions Without gas infrastructure.

MAP OF LNG REFINERY IN INDONESIA

The lirst cluster covers Papua and West Papua, with a total demand of around 427 mmscfd of gas. The second comprises Maluku, North Maluku, North Sulawesi and Central Sulawesi with an overall demand of 290 mmscfd. Meanwhile, the third cluster includes East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and South Sulawesi that will need 284 mmscfd of gas, whereas the fourth cluster comprises the Natuna region and West Kalimantan, requiring 50 mmscfd.

In order to distribute the gas more efliciently, the government also plans to apply a milk run system or a round-trip logistics mechanism in the eastern part of the archipelago.

“Some studies show that the milk run system can be applied in several islands to supply LNG for electricity,” Wiratmaja went on. State-owned gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara’s (PGN) commerce director Danny Praditya also acknowledged that infrastructure was the main stumbling block to ensuring sufficient gas supplies across the country. 

In response, he called on the government to involve all stakeholders in the formulation of a short-term and mid-term integrated roadmap on gas infrastructure development nation wide, along with detailed data on gas demand and supply in various regions.

“Besides the gas volume, we strongly recommend the government to include [in the roadmap] the development costs of each infrastructure, the economic price of gas and the types of facilities in each region,” Danny said.

“That way, we will have a more accurate picture of infrastructure development, which will lead to more efficient implementation.” 

Elia Massa Manik, president director of state-owned oil and gas firm Pertamina, agreed with Danny saying that the construction of gas facilities should also take into account the amount of gas demand in each region, and consequently the availability of an integrated roadmap was a must.

Fitch Group’s BMI Research estimates that Indonesia’s gas demand will surge at an average annual rate of 4 percent over the next decade, primarily pushed by the power generation sector. The government will need 1,100 mmscfd of gas to generate 13,432 megawatts (MW) of electricity to feed 35,000 MW power plants as planned.

However, gas supplies are set to fall due to natural declines at a number of mature gas fields and delays of several major projects. “This will see Indonesia become a net LNG importer by 2022. Pertamina has a deal with the United States’ Corpus Christie project starting in 2018 and an agreement with the UAE’s [United Arab Emirates] Emirates National Oil Company to directly purchase LNG from the latter based on need,” BMI Research wrote in its research note.

Oil and Gas Law Expected Immediately Completed

The Draft Law on Oil and Gas (RUU Migas) is expected to be completed as soon as possible, after receiving input from various parties in order to produce a comprehensive regulatory product.

"We just want to harmonize, but hopefully soon be resolved," said Chairman of the Legislative Body of the House of Representatives Supratman Andi Atgas in a release on Wednesday (12/7).

According to Supratman, the harmonization conducted by the Legislation Body is still in the stage of asking for the opinion of a number of parties. One of the things that many highlighted, among others related to the discourse of the establishment of Special Business Entity (SBE/BUK) of Oil and Gas.

    Meanwhile, Vice Chairman of Commission VII of the House of Representatives, Satya Widya Yudha, said that the function of BUK Migas aims to integrate the function of cooperation from upstream to downstream in accordance with the decision of the Constitutional Court.

Meanwhile, energy sector observer Marwan Batubara said that there should be no dualism of SOEs that take care of the oil and gas sector both from upstream and downstream.

Previously, the Government has issued Government Regulation No. 27 of 2017 on Amendment to Government Regulation Number 79 of 2010 concerning Refundable Operating Costs and the treatment of income tax in the upstream oil and gas business.

"The Government Regulation No. 27 of 2017 has already been issued, has been signed by the President, what is issued, what is revised is not 100 percent indeed that is expected by Indonesia Petroleum Association (IPA) but most of us have accomodated, alhamdulillah," said Vice Minister of EMR Arcandra Tahar in Jakarta

The issuance of this Government Regulation is expected to increase the discovery of national oil and gas reserves and drive the investment climate as well as provide greater legal certainty to the upstream oil and gas business activities. To complete Government Regulation 27, the Government will issue Government Regulation of Taxation specially Gross split which will be comparable with Government Regulation 79 Year 2010 Number 27.

The issuance of Government Regulation No. 27 of 2017, according to Arcandra is a major leap in oil and gas management in Indonesia.

"Finally, Government Regulation 79 can be issued with the hope that in the future what will be expected by KKKS Contractors and IPA, the government is now deeply aware of their difficulties to engage in both exploration and exploitation activities in Indonesia," said Arcandra.

To clarify the taxation of exploration and exploitation activities of oil and gas based on gross split, the government will issue Government Regulation governing special taxation of gross split because the general tax rules can not be applied for oil and gas activities based on gross split.

Gross split is a profit-sharing scheme between the government and KKKS that was calculated at the start as a substitute for conventional cost recovery schemes, or production costs that were replaced by the government after production.

Undang-Undang Migas Diharapkan Segera Selesai

Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Minyak dan Gas (RUU Migas) diharapkan dapat diselesaikan secepatnya, setelah menerima masukan dari berbagai pihak agar dapat dihasilkan produk regulasi yang menyeluruh.

“Kami baru mau harmonisasi, tapi semoga bisa secepatnya diselesaikan,” kata Ketua Badan Legislasi DPR RI Supratman Andi Atgas dalam rilis, Rabu(12/7). 

Menurut Supratman, harmonisasi yang dilakukan Badan Legislasi masih dalam tahap meminta pendapat sejumlah pihak. Salah satu hal yang banyak disorot antara lain terkait wacana pembentukan Badan Usaha Khusus (BUK) Migas. 

     Sementara itu, Wakil Ketua Komisi VII DPR Satya Widya Yudha mengemukakan, fungsi BUK Migas bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan fungsi kerja sama dari hulu hingga hilir sesuai dengan keputusan Mahkamah Konstitusi.

Sedangkan pengamat sektor energi Marwan Batubara menyatakan harusnya tidak ada dualisme BUMN yang mengurus sektor migas baik dari hulu maupun hilir.

Sebelumnya, Pemerintah telah menerbitkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 27 Tahun 2017 tentang Perubahan atas Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 79 Tahun 2010 tentang Biaya Operasi yang dapat dikembalikan dan perlakuan pajak penghasilan di bidang usaha hulu minyak dan gas bumi.

“Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 27 Tahun 2017 sudah keluar, sudah ditandatangani Presiden, apa yang dikeluarkan, apa yang direvisi itu tidak 100 persen memang yang diharapkan oleh Indonesia Petroleum Association (IPA) namun sebagian besar sudah kita akomodir, alhamdulillah,” kata Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar di Jakarta

Penerbitan Peraturan Pemerintah ini diharapkan akan dapat meningkatkan penemuan cadangan minyak dan gas bumi nasional dan menggerakkan iklim investasi serta lebih memberikan kepastian hukum pada kegiatan usaha hulu minyak dan gas bumi. Untuk melengkapi Peraturan Pemerintah 27, Pemerintah akan menerbitkan Peraturan Pemerintah Perpajakan khusus Gross split yang akan comparable dengan Peraturan Pemerintah 79 Tahun 2010 Nomor 27.

Dikeluarkannya Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 27 Tahun 2017, menurut Arcandra adalah sebuah lompatan besar dalam pengelolaan minyak dan gas bumi di Indonesia. 

“Akhirnya Peraturan Pemerintah 79 dapat kita keluarkan dengan harapan kedepannya apa yang diharapkan Kontraktor Kontrak Kerjasama (KKKS) maupun IPA, pemerintah sekarang sangat mendengar apa kesulitan mereka untuk melakukan kegiatan baik itu eksplorasi maupun eksploitasi di Indonesia,” ujar Arcandra.

Untuk memperjelas perpajakan kegiatan eksplorasi dan eksploitasi minyak dan gas bumi berbasis gross split, pemerintah akan menerbitkan Peraturan Pemerintah yang mengatur perpajakan khusus gross split karena aturan pajak umum tidak dapat diterapkan untuk kegiatan minyak dan gas bumi berbasis gross split.

Gross split merupakan skema bagi hasil antara pemerintah dan KKKS yang diperhitungkan di awal sebagai pengganti dari skema konvensional cost recovery, atau biaya produksi yang diganti oleh pemerintah setelah produksi.

Oil and Gas Supporters Still Worried

Currently oil and gas supporting companies do not have new contracts that they can work on

Oil and gas supporting industries (oil and gas) this year are still anxious to hook new contracts. The reason, the contractors cooperation contract (KKKS) is currently still holding oil and gas investment.

Let's take a look at the data of the Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities which mentions, upstream oil and gas investment in the first half of 2017 is only US $ 3.98 billion. The achievement is only 29% of this year's target of US $ 13.8 billion.

Corporate Secretary of PT Elnusa Tbk Fajriyah Usman said the oil and gas supporting services industry such as his company is still difficult to make investment, because there are no new oil and gas projects running.

"For us supporting services, it is difficult to make an investment without any" opponent ", meaning no project or projection" revenue, "explained Fajriyah

With the current upstream oil and gas industry, issuers coded ELSA in Indonesia Stock Exchange is not sure to get certainty of return or income.

"Supporting service companies should invest prudently, we need to think about the value of investment with project value and future project opportunity," added Fajriyah.

ELSA prefers, the utility of existing equipment first, rather than making an investment.

"If the project is small, we will utilize existing equipment," said Fajriyah.

Usually companies invest if there is a need for contracts that require additional capacity. Or it also requires new equipment or technology or there is a need for replacement of already or damaged equipment. As a result, Elnusa has just spent Rp 173 billion for capital expenditure (capex) or capital expenditure in the first half of 2017. The funds are to purchase equipment for work over work needs or replace damaged or lost equipment.

Frieda Salvantina, Corporate Secretary of PT Apexindo Pratama Duta Tbk, explained that the investment of oil and gas supporting industries is still sluggish, similar to that experienced in the upstream oil and gas industry.

"The investment in the upstream oil and gas sector is still very limited, so there is not much boring activity," her said, without mentioning the amount of capex that Apexindo has used during the first half of 2017.

Untung Haryono, Director of Administration and Finance of PT Perdana Karya Perkasa Tbk, said that the company has not issued capital expenditure until the first half of 2017 because the upstream oil and gas industry is quiet. Moreover, the company is restructuring the debt that must be run. Thus, this company must make efficiency.

One way of efficiency Perdana Karya Perkasa is to work with other companies to form a consortium or joint venture when following the auction or win the auction of oil and gas projects. In this way, the company now no longer need to spend investment to buy new equipment.

"In this way we can reduce costs," said Untung.

Amien Sunaryadi, Head of Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities, said that this year there is a delayed upstream oil and gas investment and some have not yet been implemented.

"It's because of several causes, hopefully it will only be delayed and executed at the end of the year," said Amien.

Penunjang Migas Masih Harap-Harap Cemas

Saat ini perusahaan penunjang migas tidak memiliki kontrak baru yang bisa mereka garap

Industri penunjang minyak dan gas bumi (migas) tahun ini masih harap-harap cemas menggaet kontrak baru. Pasalnya, para kontraktor kontrak kerjasama (KKKS) saat ini masih menahan investasi migas.

Mari kita intip data Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi yang menyebutkan, investasi hulu migas pada semester I-2017 baru sebesar US$ 3,98 miliar. Pencapaian tersebut hanya 29% dari target tahun ini yang sebesar US$ 13,8 miliar.

Sekretaris Perusahaan PT Elnusa Tbk Fajriyah Usman mengungkapkan, industri jasa penunjang migas seperti perusahaannya masih kesulitan melakukan investasi, karena belum ada proyek-proyek migas baru yang berjalan.

"Bagi kami jasa penunjang, sulit bisa melakukan investasi tanpa ada "lawannya", maksudnya tidak ada project atau proyeksi "revenue," jelas Fajriyah 

Dengan kondisi industri hulu migas saat ini, emiten berkode ELSA di Bursa Efek Indonesia tersebut tidak yakin mendapat kepastian imbal hasil atau pendapatan. 

"Perusahaan jasa penunjang harus melakukan investasi secara prudent. Perlu dipikirkan antara nilai investasi dengan nilai proyek dan kesempatan proyek ke depan,“ imbuh Fajriyah.

ELSA lebih memilih, utilitas peralatan yang ada terlebih dahulu, daripada melakukan investasi. 

"Kalau proyeknya sedikit, pasti kami utilisasi peralatan yang ada," ujar Fajriyah.

Biasanya perusahaan melakukan investasi apabila memang ada kebutuhan kontrak yang memerlukan adanya tambahan kapasitas. Atau juga memerlukan peralatan atau teknologi baru atau ada kebutuhan replacement peralatan yang sudah atau rusak. Alhasil, Elnusa baru saja mengeluarkan dana sebesar Rp 173 miliar untuk keperluan capital expenditure (capex) atau belanja modal pada semester I-2017. Dana itu untuk membeli peralatan bagi kebutuhan pekerjaan work over atau mengganti peralatan yang rusak atau hilang.

Frieda Salvantina, Sekretaris Perusahaan PT Apexindo Pratama Duta Tbk, menjelaskan, investasi industri penunjang migas masih lesu, sama seperti yang dialami di industri hulu migas. 

"Karena investasi di sektor hulu migas juga masih sangat terbatas, sehingga tidak banyak kegiatan pengeborain," her said, tanpa mau menyebut besaran capex yang telah digunakan Apexindo selama semester I-2017.

Untung Haryono, Direktur Administrasi dan Keuangan PT Perdana Karya Perkasa Tbk, menyatakan, pihaknya belum mengeluarkan belanja modal hingga semester I-2017 karena industri hulu migas sepi. Apalagi perusahaan sedang melakukan restrukturisasi utang yang harus dijalankan. Sehingga, perusahaan ini harus melakukan efisiensi.

Salah satu Cara efisiensi Perdana Karya Perkasa adalah bekerjasama dengan perusahaan lain membentuk konsorsium atau joint venture ketika mengikuti lelang atau memenangkan lelang proyek migas. Dengan cara ini, perseroan kini tidak perlu lagi mengeluarkan investasi untuk membeli peralatan baru. 

"Dengan cara ini kami bisa menekan biaya," ujar Untung.

Amien Sunaryadi Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi, menyebutkan, tahun ini ada investasi hulu migas yang tertunda dan ada juga belum jadi dilaksanakan. 

"Itu karena beberapa penyebab. Mudah-mudahan hal tersebut hanya tertunda dan dilaksanakan akhir tahun nanti," kata Amien.

Jangkrik Field Operates, Indonesia Cancel Import of Gas in 2019

Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) canceled Imports gas in 2019 later. In fact, in the 2016-2035 gas balance released by the government, Indonesia will begin to import gas in 2019. The balance said Indonesia would need import gas of 1,672 mmscfd a year later to 1,677 mmscfd.

Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja Puja, said that the government will postpone gas imports following the start of production of large gas fields in the country. One of the fields that led to the cancellation of gas import policy is the Cricket Field managed by ENI Indonesia.

ENI's production at the Cricket Field is currently at 450 mmscfd and is likely to increase to 600 mmscfd by the end of this year. So, national gas production is also boosted.

This field gas gas turns out to be good, it can reach up to 600 mmscfd, so it is unlikely that by 2019 there will be no need for gas imports because production is better than expected, "he explained on Wednesday (12/7).

Besides being supported by ENI gas production in Jangkrik Field, imports were also canceled due to production from the Tangguh Train III refinery in 2020. The British Petroleum (BP) facility is targeted to produce up to 3.8 MTPA.

"Once the Tangguh Train III gas field goes in, there is no need to import any more," Wiratmaja claims.

Lapangan Jangkrik Beroperasi, Indonesia Batal Impor Gas di 2019

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) batal melakukan Impor gas pada tahun 2019 nanti. Padahal, dalam neraca gas tahun 2016-2035 yang dirilis pemerintah menyebutkan, Indonesia akan mulai melakukan impor gas tahun 2019. Neraca tersebut menyebutkan, Indonesia akan membutuhkan gas impor sebesar 1.672 mmscfd setahun kemudian menjadi 1.677 mmscfd.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi (Migas) Kementerian ESDM I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja Puja menyatakan, pemerintah akan menunda impor gas seiring mulai berproduksinya ladang-ladang gas besar di Tanah Air. Salah satu lapangan yang menyebabkan batalnya kebijakan Impor gas adalah Lapangan Jangkrik yang dikelola ENI Indonesia.

Produksi ENI di Lapangan Jangkrik saat ini mencapai 450 mmscfd dan kemungkinan besar akan meningkat menjadi 600 mmscfd pada akhir tahun ini. Jadi, otomatis produksi gas secara nasional juga ikut terdongkrak.

 "Gas Lapangan Jangkrik ini ternyata bagus, ternyata bisa sampai 600 mmscfd. Jadi kemungkinan besar pada tahun 2019 tidak perlu impor gas karena produksi lebih bagus dibandingkan perkiraan," terangnya, Rabu (12/7).

Selain didukung oleh produksi gas ENI di Lapangan Jangkrik, impor juga dibatalkan karena ada produksi dari kilang Tangguh Train III pada tahun 2020. Fasilitas milik British Petroleum (BP) ini ditargetkan mampu memproduksi hingga sebesar 3,8 MTPA. 

"Begitu Lapangan gas Tangguh Train III masuk tidak perlu impor lagi," klaim Wiratmaja.

Can Stop LNG Import 2019

Production of Cricket Field Supply More

Indonesia is predicted to not import liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2019. Director General of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (IGN) Wiratrnaja Puja said that the projection is supported by the abundance of gas production from FPU (floating production unit) Domestic needs.

"In the field of Cricket, the production is advanced, it was good, which was designed 400-450 mmscfd, when tested, it can reach up to 600 mmscfd, so 2019 is unlikely to import," he said at the Gas Indonesia Summit and Exhibition at the Jakarta Convention Center (ICC) yesterday (12/7).

However, the termination of imports can occur if not all of the commited demand of LNG has changed into contracted demand. Previously, a gas import plan came about because there was a lower national gas production estimate than consumption.

However, along with the improved performance of Cricket Field managed by Eni Muara Bakau BV, the import plan in 2019 was canceled. In addition, the Tangguh refinery Train 3 project also operates in 2020 which is predicted to increase supply to 3.8 MTPA (million ton per annual).

Wiratmaja said, domestic needs will be fully secure by 2026. That is, when the Abadi Field in Masela Block starts on stream. Production from the Masela Block is planned to reach 9.5 MTPA plus 150 mmscfd.

"We hope the Masela Block 2025-2027, once the Masela Block comes in, goes up again," he explained.

Deputy of Control and Procurement of Working Unit for Oil and Gas Upstream Activities (SKK Migas) Djoko Siswanto revealed that gas production from Jangkrik Field will increase gradually. Currently its production has become 500 mmscfd.

FPU Cricket is a ship-shaped oil and gas facility designed to have gas processing and capacity of up to 450 mmscfd and condensate processing of 4,100 barrels of condensate per day (bopd).

A total of 10 wells of compressed and ready-to-produce subsea gas production will be linked to a FPU that processes and distributes gas using a 79 km subsea pipeline. Furthermore, the pipe was connected to the ground. Namely into the gas producer network of East Kalimantan and ultimately to domestic users in East Kalimantan and

Bontang LNG plant.

FPU Cricket also functions as a distillation and stabilizes condensate and distributes it ashore through the local distribution network and ends at the Senipah condensate plant. The first gas discovery was in 2009 at the Jangkrik-1 well line. In the same block, about 20 km northeast of Cricket Field, North East Cricket Field was discovered in 2011.

Bisa Hentikan Impor LNG 2019

Produksi Lapangan Jangkrik Lebihi Pasokan

Indonesia diprediksi tidak akan melakukan impor gas alam cair (LNG) pada 2019. Direktur Jenderal Migas Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) IGN Wiratrnaja Puja menuturkan, proyeksi tersebut ditopang melimpahnya produksi gas dari FPU (unit produksi terapung) Lapangan Jangkrik yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan domestik.

"Yang di Lapangan Jangkrik ini produksinya maju, ternyata bagus. Yang tadinya didesain 400-450 mmscfd, saat dites, ternyata bisa sampai 600 mmscfd. Jadi, kemungkinan besar 2019 tidak perlu impor,” ujarnya di Gas Indonesia Summit and Exhibition di Jakarta Convention Center (ICC) kemarin ( 12/7).

Namun penghentian impor itu bisa terjadi jika tidak seluruh permintaan LNG yang sudah memiliki komitmen (commited demand) berubah menjadi permintaan terkontrak (contracted demand). Sebelumnya, rencana impor gas muncul karena ada perkiraan produksi gas nasional yang lebih rendah dari konsumsi.

Namun, seiring dengan membaiknya performa Lapangan Jangkrik yang dikelola Eni Muara Bakau BV tersebut, rencana impor pada 2019 batal terjadi. Ditambah lagi, proyek kilang Tangguh Train 3 juga mulai beroperasi pada 2020 yang diprediksi menambah pasokan hingga 3,8 MTPA (million ton per annual).

Wiratmaja menuturkan, kebutuhan domestik akan aman sepenuhnya pada 2026. Yakni, ketika Lapangan Abadi di Blok Masela mulai on stream. Produksi dari Blok Masela direncanakan mencapai 9,5 MTPA plus 150 mmscfd. 

"Kita harap Blok Masela 2025-2027. Begitu Blok Masela masuk, naik lagi produksinya,” jelasnya.

Deputi Pengendalian dan Pengadaan Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Hulu Migas (SKK Migas) Djoko Siswanto mengungkapkan, produksi gas dari Lapangan Jangkrik akan naik secara bertahap. Saat ini produksinya sudah menjadi 500 mmscfd.

FPU Jangkrik merupakan fasilitas migas berbentuk kapal yang dirancang untuk memiliki pengolahan gas dan kapasitas hingga 450 mmscfd dan pengolahan kondensat sebesar 4.100 barel kondensat per hari (bopd).

Sebanyak 10 sumur produksi gas bawah laut yang telah dikompresi dan siap diproduksikan akan dihubungkan dengan FPU yang mengolah dan menyalurkan gas dengan menggunakan pipa bawah laut sepanjang 79 km. Selanjutnya, pipa itu dihubungkan ke darat. Yakni ke dalam jaringan produsen gas Kalimantan Timur dan pada akhirnya kepada pemakai dalam negeri di Kalimantan Timur dan

kilang LNG Bontang.

FPU Jangkrik juga berfungsi sebagai penyulingan dan menstabilkan kondensat serta menyalurkannya ke darat melaluj jaringan distribusi setempat dan berakhir di kilang kondensat Senipah. Penemuan gas pertama adalah pada 2009 di garis sumur Jangkrik-1. Di blok yang sama, pada sekitar 20 km di sebelah Timur Laut Lapangan Jangkrik, ditemukan Lapangan Jangkrik North East pada 2011.
