Pertamina EP Production Reaches 77,500 Barrels

PT Pertamina EP, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina in the upstream oil and gas sector until mid-October 2017, produces 77,500 barrels of oil per day (BoPD) and gas 1,000 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD).

Exploration & New Discovery Project Director of Pertamina EP Achmad Alfian Husein said the company's oil and gas production is still below the target of the Company's Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) 2017. Pertamina EP's oil production target by the end of this year reaches more than 80,000 BOPD.

"Target RKAP more than 80,000 BOPD, most until the end of the year around 77,500-78.000 BOPD, but our goal how to produce a proper," said Alfian after providing assistance Pertamina EP CSR in Forest Protection Mount Malabar, District Bandung, West Java.

The achievement of oil production is indeed lower than the realization in the same period of the previous year. Nevertheless, he ensured that Pertamina EP's oil production decline is still below 5% compared to the realization as per October 2016.

Alfian explained that the decline in oil production due to the difficulty of finding new wells and lifting oil. Therefore, Pertamina EP continues to explore new wells so that the company's future operations will run smoothly and more efficiently.

"We have acceleration to produce exploration findings in Big Bamboo, Karawang, and Jati Asri, Subang, from its 2018 target can be executed in second semester / 2017 for the production of riasional" he said.

Meanwhile, in the corporate social responsibility activities, Pertamina EP conducted nature conservation activities through the release of five Java Owa to the Gunung Malabar Protected Forest. This action coincides with International Gibbon Day.

"We are committed to supporting nature conservation activities such as the rehabilitation of the Java Owa, this support is done like funding for the Java Owa reintroduction program," he said.

Besides supported by Pertamina EP Asset 3 Subang Field, this nature conservation activity is also supported by cooperation of Owa Jawa Foundation, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), Balai Besar Gede Pangrango National Park (BBTNGGP), Center for Natural Resources Conservation (BBKSDA) West Java, Perum Perhutani, Conservation international Indonesia, and Silvery Gibbon Project.

Director General of Natural Resources Conservation and Ecosystem of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Wiratno said, currently the population of the Java Javan is threatened with extinction because the population in Java Island only left no more than 5%. He hopes this wild animal release could increase Owajawa's population.

Produksi Pertamina EP Capai 77.500 Barel

PT Pertamina EP anak usaha PT Pertamina di sektor hulu minyak dan gas hingga pertengahan Oktober 2017 memproduksi minyak sebesaar 77.500 barel per hari (BoPD) dan gas 1.000 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD).

Exploration & New Discovery Project Director Pertamina EP Achmad Alfian Husein mengatakan, produksi minyak dan gas perseroan masih dibawah target Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP) 2017. Target produksi minyak Pertamina EP hingga akhir tahun ini mencapai lebih dari 80.000 BOPD.

"Target RKAP lebih dari 80.000 BOPD, paling sampai akhir tahun sekitar 77.500-78.000 BOPD, tetapi tujuan kita bagaimana memproduksi secara proper,” kata Alfian seusai memberi bantuan CSR Pertamina EP di Hutan Lindung Gunung Malabar, Kabupaten Bandung, Jawa Barat.

Pencapaian produksi minyak tersebut memang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan realisasi pada periode sama tahun sebelumnya. Meski demikian, dia memastikan penurunan produksi minyak Pertamina EP masih di bawah 5% dibandingkan dengan realisasi per Oktober 2016.

Alfian menjelaskan, menurunnya produksi minyak perseroan disebabkan sulitnya mencari sumur-sumur baru dan mengangkat minyak. Karena itu, Pertamina EP terus melakukan eksplorasi sumur baru sehingga kedepan operasional perusahaan tetap berjalan lancar dan lebih efisien.

”Kita ada percepatan menghasilkan temuan eksplorasi di Bambu Besar, Karawang, dan Jati Asri, Subang, dari targetnya 2018 bisa dieksekusi pada semester II/2017 untuk produksi riasional" ujarnya.

Sementara dalam kegiatan tanggungjawab sosial perusahaan, Pertamina EP melakukan kegiatan konservasi alam melalui pelepasan lima Owa Jawa ke Hutan Lindung Gunung Malabar. Aksi ini bertepatan dengan International Gibbon Day (Hari Owa internasional). 

"Kami berkomitmen mendukung kegiatan pelestarian alam seperti rehabilitasi Owa Jawa, dukungan ini dilakukan seperti pendanaan untuk program reintroduksi Owa Jawa," ujarnya.

Selain didukung Pertamina EP Asset 3 Subang Field, kegiatan konservasi alam ini juga berkat kerja sama Yayasan Owa Jawa, Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (KLHK), Balai Besar Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (BBTNGGP), Balai Besar Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam (BBKSDA) Jawa Barat, Perum Perhutani, Conservation international Indonesia, dan Silvery Gibbon Project.

Direktur Jenderal Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam dan Ekosistem kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan Wiratno mengatakan, saat ini populasi Owa Jawa terancam punah karena populasinya di Pulau Jawa hanya tersisa tidak lebih dari 5%. Dia berharap pelepasan liar satwa ini bisa meningkatkan populasi Owajawa.

The Duri-Dumai Gas Transmission Pipe is immediately realized

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) will soon realize the construction of the Duri-Dumai gas transmission pipeline project in Riau Province along 67 kilometers. As a commitment to the timely delivery of gas to users in the Dumai region, the groundbreaking process will start next month.

"Beginning in November PGN commenced construction of a gas transmission pipeline project from Duri to Dumai along 67 km. Construction of this project is estimated to take 12 months. Our target is, October 1, 2018, natural gas is flowing to PGN customers in Dumai, "said PGN Commercial Director Danny Praditya in Jakarta.

According to Danny, construction of this transmission pipe can be implemented immediately because the land acquisition process is almost complete. Moreover, the construction of the Duri-Dumai pipeline will use the Pekanbaru-Dumai toll road area.

"We are in synergy with PT Hutama Karya as the builder of the toll road," said Danny.

Danny said, other than that the licensing business was no problem. According to him, PGN has obtained all necessary permits.

"We have obtained the principle permit from the regional government and environmental permits and other licenses" he said.

The Duri-Dumai transmission gas transmission pipeline project is a BUMN cooperation between PGN and PT Pertamina through its subsidiary PT Pertamina Gas. This cooperation refers to Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 4975 K / 12 / MEM / 2016. In June, both SOEs have signed Head of Agreement (HOA).

The plan PGN and Pertamina will build a transmission pipeline along the 67 kilometers. Investment that will disbursed reached USD 76 million or equivalent to Rp 1.02 trillion (exchange rate Rp 13,500).

The pipeline development fund is sourced from internal cash of each company. Under the ownership portion, PGN will receive a 40% share in the project, while Pertamina gets 60%. The gas to be piped to this pipeline comes from the ConocoPhilips Corridor Block in South Sumatra.

"Construction of this project is estimated to take 12 months. Target Rami, October 1, 2018, natural gas is flowing to PGN customers in Dumai. "

DANNY PADITYA

PGN Commercial Director In addition, there will be additional gas from Bentu Block operated by Energi Mega Persada (EMP). The total gas supply that will flow into the transmission pipeline is about 200 million cubic feet per day (mmscfd). The gas will be channeled to meet the needs of industries in Riau, port requirements, petrochemical industry, and operational needs of Pertamina's Dumai refinery.

"In principle, on the PGN side is ready, just waiting for the readiness of the partners," said Danny.

Not only in Dumai, PGN is also currently developing West Natuna Transmission System (WNTS) transmission pipeline infrastructure to Pemping Island, Riau Islands Province. PGN also develops natural gas pipeline in Muara Karang-Muara Bekasi along 42 km. PGN is also still in the process of building a natural gas distribution pipeline network in Pasuruan, Mojokerto.

Currently, PGN has built and operated a natural gas pipeline infrastructure of 7,270 km or 80 percent of the downstream gas pipeline throughout Indonesia. Despite continuing to build an infrastructure project for natural gas network, PGN does not burden the state budget of revenues and expenditures (APBN).

Of the infrastructure, PGN is delivering gas to 1,652 industrial customers and power plants, 1,929 commercial or hotel customers, restaurants and restaurants, as well as small businesses. PGN also supplies gas to 204,000 household customers. This PGN customer is spread over 19 cities in 12 provinces.

Director of Planning and Development of Oil and Gas Infrastructure at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Alimuddin Baso said he had discussed the project.

The Duri-Dumai transmission pipeline project was led by EMR Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources and attended by Pertamina Gas Director Yenny Andayani, Director of PGN Gas Infrastructure Dilo Seno Widagdo, and Director General of Oil and Gas Ego Syahrial.

In the meeting, Pertamina and PGN have agreed to cooperate with the operation. "Hopefully this October could soon groundbreaking," he said.

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) segera mewujudkan pembangunan proyek pipa transmisi gas bumi Duri-Dumai di Provinsi Riau sepanjang 67 kilometer.

Sebagai komitmen ketepatan waktu penyaluran gas ke pengguna di wilayah Dumai, rencananya proses peletakan batu pertama (groundbreaking) akan dimulai bulan depan.

“Awal November PGN memulai pengerjaan proyek pipa transmisi gas bumi dari Duri sampai dengan Dumai sepanjang 67 km. Pembangunan proyek ini diperkirakan membutuhkan waktu 12 bulan. Target kami, 1 Oktober 2018, gas bumi sudah mengalir kepada pelanggan PGN di Dumai," kata Direktur Komersial PGN Danny Praditya di Jakarta.

Menurut Danny, pembangunan pipa transmisi ini bisa segera dilaksanakan karena proses pembebasan lahan sudah hampir selesai. Apalagi, pembangunan ruas pipa Duri-Dumai ini akan menggunakan lahan jalur Tol Pekanbaru-Dumai. 

“Kami bersinergi dengan PT Hutama Karya sebagai pihak yang membangun tol tersebut," kata Danny.

Danny mengatakan, selain itu urusan perizinan pun sudah tidak ada masalah. Menurut dia, PGN sudah mendapatkan seluruh izin yang diperlukan.

“Kami sudah mendapatkan izin prinsip dari pemerintah wilayah dan izin lingkungan dan perizinan lainnya" ujarnya.

Proyek pembangunan pipa gas transmisi Duri-Dumai merupakan kerja sama BUMN antara PGN dengan PT Pertamina melalui anak usahanya PT Pertamina Gas. Kerja sama ini merujuk pada Keputusan Menteri ESDM Nomor 4975 K/12/MEM/2016. Pada Juni lalu, kedua BUMN ini telah menandatangani Head of Agreement (HOA).

Rencananya PGN dan Pertamina akan membangun pipa transmisi sepanjang 67 kilometer. Investasi yang bakal dikucurkan mencapai USD 76 juta atau setara Rp 1,02 triliun (kurs Rp 13.500).

Dana pembangunan pipa bersumber dari kas internal masing-masing perusahaan. Sesuai porsi kepemilikan, PGN akan mendapat porsi 40% pada proyek tersebut, sementara Pertamina mendapat 60%. Gas yang akan dialirkan ke pipa ini berasal dari Blok Corridor yang dikelola ConocoPhilips di Sumatera Selatan.

“Pembangunan proyek ini diperkirakan membutuhkan waktu 12 bulan. Target Rami, 1 Oktober 2018, gas bumi sudah mengalir kepada pelanggan PGN di Dumai.”

DANNY PADITYA

Direktur Komersial PGN Selain itu, akan ada tambahan gas dari Blok Bentu yang dioperasikan Energi Mega Persada (EMP).

Total pasokan gas yang akan mengalir ke jaringan pipa transmisi tersebut sekitar 200 juta kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd). Gas tersebut akan dialirkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan industri di Riau, kebutuhan pelabuhan, industri petrokimia, dan kebutuhan operasional kilang Dumai Pertamina. 

“Pada prinsipnya, di sisi PGN sudah siap, hanya menunggu kesiapan dari mitra,” ujar Danny.

Tidak hanya di Dumai, saat ini PGN juga sedang mengembangkan infrastruktur pipa transmisi gas bumi West Natuna Transmission System (WNTS) ke Pulau Pemping, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau. PGN juga mengembangkan pipa gas bumi di Muara Karang-Muara Bekasi sepanjang 42 km. PGN juga masih dalam proses membangun jaringan pipa distribusi gas bumi di Pasuruan, Mojokerto.

Saat ini PGN telah membangun dan mengoperasikan infrastruktur pipa gas bumi sepanjang 7.270 km atau setara 80 persen pipa gas bumi hilir seluruh Indonesia. Meski terus membangun proyek infrastruktur jaringan gas bumi, PGN tidak membebani anggaran pendapatan dan belanja negara (APBN).

Dari infrastruktur tersebut, PGN mengalirkan gas kepada 1.652 pelanggan industri dan pembangkit listrik, 1.929 pelanggan komersial atau hotel, restoran, dan rumah makan, serta usaha kecil. PGN juga mengalirkan gas kepada 204.000 pelanggan rumah tangga. Pelanggan PGN ini tersebar di 19 kota di 12 provinsi.

Direktur Perencanaan dan Pembangunan Infrastruktur Migas Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Alimuddin Baso mengatakan telah membahas proyek tersebut.

Untuk pembahasan proyek pipa transmisi Duri-Dumai dipimpin oleh Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar dan dihadiri Direktur Gas Pertamina Yenny Andayani, Direktur Infrastruktur Gas PGN Dilo Seno Widagdo, serta Direktur Jenderal Migas Ego Syahrial.

Production West Madura Offshore Down

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore will innovate to reduce the company's oil production capacity. Understandably, the decline rate of Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore has reached 50% per year.

As of October, Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore oil production is only 7,500 barrels per day (bopd). This amount is lower than the target of this year's work plan is 7,611 bopd. During the year, the lowest production occurred in October.

Meanwhile, in January-February 2017, Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore production is still 8,000 bopd and continues to decline to 7,800 bopd in September. The figure is expected to continue to decline until next year.

"We are targeting next year's 6,000 barrels per day but not yet submitted to SKK Migas," said Kuncoro Kukuh, General Menager Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore in Bangkalan, Tuesday (24/10).

Kukuh said the production decline was due to several natural problems that occurred in the well. Therefore, the company is focusing on exploration wells to add reserves. Without exploration, Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore will not survive because the production decline rate reaches 50%.

In addition to exploring, the company will continue to innovate to keep production up above target. One of them with enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore gas production is still above the target work plan is 112.5 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd). As of October, its production reaches 120 mmscfd.

Produksi West Madura Offshore Turun

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore akan melakukan inovasi untuk menekan penurunan kapasitas produksi minyak perusahaan. Maklum, laju penurunan produksi (decline rate) Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore sudah mencapai 50% per tahun.

Per Oktober, produksi minyak Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore hanya 7.500 barel per hari (bopd). Jumlah ini lebih rendah dari target rencana kerja tahun ini yaitu 7.611 bopd. Sepanjang tahun ini, produksi terendah terjadi di bulan Oktober.

Sementara pada Januari-Februari 2017 lalu, produksi Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore masih 8.000 bopd dan terus menurun hingga 7,800 bopd di September. Angka tersebut diperkirakan akan terus mengalami penurunan sampai tahun depan.

"Kami menargetkan produk tahun depan sekitar 6.000 barel per hari tetapi belum disampaikan ke SKK Migas, " kata Kuncoro Kukuh, General Menager Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore di Bangkalan, Selasa (24/10).

Kukuh mengatakan, penurunan produksi itu karena beberapa masalah alamiah yang terjadi di sumur. Oleh karena itu, perusahaan ini fokus pada sumur eksplorasi untuk menambah cadangan. Tanpa ekplorasi, Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore tidak akan bisa bertahan karena decline rate produksinya mencapai 50%.

Di samping melakukan eksplorasi, perusahaan ini akan terus berinovasi untuk menjaga produksi bisa tetap berada di atas target. Salah satunya dengan enhanced Oil recovery (EOR). Produksi gas Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore masih di atas target rencana kerja yaitu 112,5 juta kaki kubik gas per hari (mmscfd). Per Oktober, produksinya mencapai 120 mmscfd.

Pertamina EP Pessimistic Production Target Achieved

Pertamina EP oil production until the end of the year is moving from 77,500-78,000 barrels per day

PT Pertamina EP is pessimistic that it can achieve its oil production target by the end of the year. The reason is that until the end of October 2017, the average production of this subsidiary of PT Pertamina in the upstream sector has not yet reached the target of Work Plan and Corporate Budget (RKAP) 2017 which is pegged more than 80,000 barrels per day (bopd).

Alfian Husein, Director of Exploration & Discovery of New Reserves Pertamina EP, said that the average oil production of Pertamina EP up to 24 October 2017 reaches about 77,500 bopd. He projected that oil production would not increase dramatically and would only move in the range of 77,000 bopd 78,000 bopd. With these achievements, Alfian pessimistic target that has been set can be achieved.

"The year-end target of RKAP is impossible to achieve, more than 80,000 bopd until the end of the year we stay at 77,500 bopd to 78,000 impd range," said Aliyan, Tuesday (24/10).

Just to note, Pertamina EP oil production is likely to decline. Citing data on May 29, 2017, Pertamina EP oil production could reach 85,000 barrels per day (bpd). The amount is about 94% of the established RKAP. Gas production rose Despite poor oil production, Pertamina EP gas production could still increase in October 2017.

At the end of May, Pertamina EP gas production reached 969 million cubic feet per day (mmscfd) or 93% of the target of 1,041 mmscfd.

"Pertamina EP's gas production is bigger and gas production this year is more than 1,000 mmscfd," Alfian said.

Despite the increase in natural gas production, Alfian projected that by the end of the year, Pertamina EP gas production by the end of this year will be around 5% lower compared to last year's achievement.

Pertamina EP has made various efforts to increase production, one of them by doing oil and gas production properly. The second step is to make an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) effort. Altian explained that the EOR effort in the field of Pertamina EP is still in its early stages. Some EOR projects are also still in the pilot project stage such as the Limau Block and Jirak Field located in South Sumatra.

"In Jirak also now need 3D surveys seismic, now in progress.When seismic survey there is a sacrifice, the field must stop a few hours every day so there is no noise, data interruption," said Alfian.

In addition to these two projects, Pertamina EP is preparing EOR for Klamono Field in Sorong, Papua. All EOR projects are still in Seismic 3D stage. With the steps taken, the company expects gas production to increase.

Pertamina EP Pesimistis Target Produksi Tercapai

Produksi minyak Pertamina EP hingga akhir tahun bergerak 77.500-78.000 barel per hari

PT Pertamina EP mulai pesimistis dapat mencapai target produksi minyak di akhir tahun. Pasalnya, hingga akhir Oktober 2017 rata-rata produksi anak usaha PT Pertamina di bidang hulu ini masih belum mencapai target Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP) 2017 yang dipatok lebih dari 80.000 barel per hari (bopd).

Alfian Husein, Direktur Eksplorasi & Penemuan Cadangan Baru Pertamina EP mengatakan, rata-rata produksi minyak Pertamina EP hingga 24 Oktober 2017 mencapai sekitar 77.500 bopd. Ia memproyeksikan, produksi minyak tidak akan meningkat drastis dan hanya akan bergerak di kisaran 77.000 bopd 78.000 bopd. Dengan pencapaian tersebut, Alfian pesimistis target yang telah ditetapkan dapat diraih. 

"Akhir tahun target RKAP mustahil bisa tercapai, lebih dari 80.000 bopd. Sampai akhir tahun kami stay di 77.500 bopd sampai 78.000 Impd range-nya," ujar Aliyan, Selasa (24/10).

Sekadar catatan, produksi minyak Pertamina EP memang cenderung turun. Mengutip data pada 29 Mei 2017, produksi minyak Pertamina EP dapat mencapai 85.000 barel per hari (bph). Jumlah itu sekitar 94% dari RKAP yang telah ditetapkan. Produksi gas naik Kendati produksi minyak kurang bagus, produksi gas Pertamina EP masih bisa meningkat pada Oktober 2017 ini. 

      Pada akhir Mei lalu, produksi gas Pertamina EP mencapai 969 juta kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd) atau 93% dari target sebesar 1.041 mmscfd.

"Produksi gas Pertamina EP lebih besar. Produksi gas rata-rata tahun ini lebih dari 1.000 mmscfd," ujar Alfian.

Walau menikmati kenaikan produksi gas bumi, Alfian memproyeksikan hingga akhir tahun produksi gas Pertamina EP di akhir tahun ini akan lebih rendah sekitar 5% dibandingkan pencapaian di akhir tahun lalu.

Pertamina EP pun telah melakukan berbagai upaya untuk meningkatkan produksi, salah satunya dengan melakukan produksi migas secara benar. Langkah kedua adalah dengan melakukan upaya enhanced oil recovery (EOR). 

     Altian menjelaskan saat ini upaya EOR di lapangan Pertamina EP masih dalam tahap awal. Beberapa proyek EOR juga masih dalam tahapan pilot project seperti di Blok Limau dan Lapangan Jirak yang berada di Sumatera Selatan.

"Di Jirak juga sekarang perlu surveiy seismic 3D, sekarang sedang berlangsung. Saat survey seismik ada pengorbanan, lapangan harus berhenti beberapa jam tiap hari supaya tidak ada noise, gangguan data," kata Alfian.

Selain dua proyek tersebut, Pertamina EP sedang mempersiapkan EOR untuk Lapangan Klamono di Sorong, Papua. Seluruh proyek EOR masih dalam tahapan 3D Seismik. Dengan langkah yang dilakukan, perusahaan ini berharap produksi gas bisa meningkat.

ESDM: Masela Not for Pertamina

The desire of PT Pertamina to participate in the management of the Masela Block in the Arafura Sea, Maluku does not get the government's blessing. Therefore, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) will only offer oil and gas blocks (oil and gas) for the termination of production contract or termination to Pertamina. Until now, the Masela Block has not been produced yet.

"PoD (plan of development) does not exist yet, while the intended offer to Pertamina is Production and terminating working area of ​​oil and gas," explained Tunggal, Director of Upstream Development of ESDM Ministry at ESDM Ministry Office, Tuesday (24/10).

But that does not mean Pertamina has no chance at all. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources invites government-owned companies to participate in the Masela Block through a business to business (B2B) scheme. Initially, Pertamina was interested in obtaining a 10% participatory interest (PI) participation in Masela Block. The lnpex Corporation becomes the operator of oil and gas blocks.

Masela Block - Owner By Inpex Corporation Japan

The term of the Japanese contract in Masela Block ends in 2018. Earlier, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Ignatius Jonan had secured the extension of the Masela Block management contract for up to 20 years after the Inpex contract expires next year. Not only the extension of the contract, the government also promised a period of compensation during the seven-year exploration.

The reason the government gives the compensation period because Inpex takes additional time. The longer term is the impact of changes in the scheme of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities built on the sea or offshore onshore or onshore.

"The minister's discretion, the legal basis is in article 39 of the Oil and Gas Law," said Susyanto, Secretary of Directorate General of Oil and Gas Ministry of ESDM.

Pri Agung Rakhmanto, Energy Researcher and Observer can tolerate the granting of such compensation period. However, this is not the case with the grant of contract extension guarantee to Inpex. Because, until now there is no gas buyer Masela Block.

"In the case of this Masela block, to my knowledge there has been no gas sale and purchase agreement at all," said Pri.

ESDM: Masela Bukan untuk Pertamina

Keinginan PT Pertamina ikut berpartisipasi dalam pengelolaan Blok Masela di Laut Arafura, Maluku tidak mendapatkan restu pemerintah. Sebab, Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) hanya akan menyodorkan blok minyak dan gas (migas) habis masa kontrak yang sudah berproduksi atau terminasi kepada Pertamina. Sementara hingga kini Blok Masela belum berproduksi.

"PoD (plan of development) saja belum ada, sedangkan yang dimaksud ditawarkan ke Pertamina itu Wilayah Kerja migas yang produksi dan yang sudah terminasi," terang Tunggal, Direktur Pembinaan Hulu Kementerian ESDM di Kantor Kementerian ESDM, Selasa (24/10).

Namun bukan berarti Pertamina tidak memiliki peluang sedikitpun. Kementerian ESDM mempersilakan perusahaan milik pemerintah ini ikut berpartisipasi di Blok Masela melalui skema business to business (B2B). Semula, Pertamina berminat mendapatkan hak partisipasi alias participating interest (PI) 10% di Blok Masela. Adapun lnpex Corporation menjadi operator blok migasnya.

Masa kontrak persuhaan asal Jepang itu di Blok Masela berakhir pada tahun 2018. Sebelumnya, Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan sempat memberikan jaminan perpanjangan kontrak pengelolaan Blok Masela hingga 20 tahun pasca masa kontrak Inpex habis tahun depan. Tidak hanya perpanjangan kontrak, pemerintah juga menjanjikan masa kompensasi selama eksplorasi tujuh tahun.

Alasan pemerintah memberikan masa kompensasi karena Inpex membutuhkan waktu tambahan. Adapun waktu yang lebih panjang itu adalah dampak perubahan skema pembangunan fasilitas liquefied natural gas (LNG) yang semula di laut atau offshore menjadi di darat atau onshore. 

"Diskresi menteri itu, dasar hukumnya ada di pasal 39 Undang~Undang Migas," ujar Susyanto, Sekretaris Direktorat Jenderal Migas

Kementerian ESDM. 

Pri Agung Rakhmanto, Peneliti dan Pengamat Energi bisa memaklumi pemberian masa kompensasi tersebut. Namun tidak demikian dengan pemberian jaminan perpanjangan kontrak terhadap Inpex. Pasalnya, hingga kini belum ada pembeli gas Blok Masela. 

"Dalam kasus blok Masela ini, sepengetahuan saya belum ada perjanjian jual beli gas sama sekali," tegas Pri.

"Pertamina EP's gas production is bigger and gas production this year is more than 1,000 mmscfd," Alfian said.

Despite the increase in natural gas production, Alfian projected that by the end of the year, Pertamina EP gas production by the end of this year will be around 5% lower compared to last year's achievement.

Pertamina EP has made various efforts to increase production, one of them by doing oil and gas production properly. The second step is to make an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) effort. Altian explained that the EOR effort in the field of Pertamina EP is still in its early stages. Some EOR projects are also still in the pilot project stage such as the Limau Block and Jirak Field located in South Sumatra.

"In Jirak also now needs 3D surveys seismic, now in progress.When seismic surveys have sacrifices, the field has to stop several hours each day to avoid noise, data interruption," said Alfian.

In addition to these two projects, Pertamina EP is preparing EOR for Klamono Field in Sorong, Papua. All EOR projects are still in Seismic 3D stage. With the steps taken, the company expects gas production to increase.

Pertamina EP Pesimistis Target Produksi Tercapai

Produksi minyak Pertamina EP hingga akhir tahun bergerak 77.500-78.000 barel per hari

PT Pertamina EP mulai pesimistis dapat mencapai target produksi minyak di akhir tahun. Pasalnya, hingga akhir Oktober 2017 rata-rata produksi anak usaha PT Pertamina di bidang hulu ini masih belum mencapai target Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP) 2017 yang dipatok lebih dari 80.000 barel per hari (bopd).

Alfian Husein, Direktur Eksplorasi & Penemuan Cadangan Baru Pertamina EP mengatakan, rata-rata produksi minyak Pertamina EP hingga 24 Oktober 2017 mencapai sekitar 77.500 bopd. Ia memproyeksikan, produksi minyak tidak akan meningkat drastis dan hanya akan bergerak di kisaran 77.000 bopd 78.000 bopd. Dengan pencapaian tersebut, Alfian pesimistis target yang telah ditetapkan dapat diraih. 

"Akhir tahun target RKAP mustahil bisa tercapai, lebih dari 80.000 bopd. Sampai akhir tahun kami stay di 77.500 bopd sampai 78.000 Impd range-nya," ujar Aliyan, Selasa (24/10).

Sekadar catatan, produksi minyak Pertamina EP memang cenderung turun. Mengutip data pada 29 Mei 2017, produksi minyak Pertamina EP dapat mencapai 85.000 barel per hari (bph). Jumlah itu sekitar 94% dari RKAP yang telah ditetapkan. Produksi gas naik Kendati produksi minyak kurang bagus, produksi gas Pertamina EP masih bisa meningkat pada Oktober 2017 ini. 

      Pada akhir Mei lalu, produksi gas Pertamina EP mencapai 969 juta kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd) atau 93% dari target sebesar 1.041 mmscfd.

"Produksi gas Pertamina EP lebih besar. Produksi gas rata-rata tahun ini lebih dari 1.000 mmscfd," ujar Alfian.

Walau menikmati kenaikan produksi gas bumi, Alfian memproyeksikan hingga akhir tahun produksi gas Pertamina EP di akhir tahun ini akan lebih rendah sekitar 5% dibandingkan pencapaian di akhir tahun lalu.

Pertamina EP pun telah melakukan berbagai upaya untuk meningkatkan produksi, salah satunya dengan melakukan produksi migas secara benar. Langkah kedua adalah dengan melakukan upaya enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Altian menjelaskan saat ini upaya EOR di lapangan Pertamina EP masih dalam tahap awal. Beberapa proyek EOR juga masih dalam tahapan pilot project seperti di Blok Limau dan Lapangan Jirak yang berada di Sumatera Selatan.

"Di Jirak juga sekarang perlu surveiy seismic 3D, sekarang sedang berlangsung. Saat survey seismik ada pengorbanan, Iapangan harus berhenti beberapa jam tiap hari supaya tidak ada noise, gangguan data," kata Alfian.

Selain dua proyek tersebut, Pertamina EP sedang mempersiapkan EOR untuk Lapangan Klamono di Sorong, Papua. Seluruh proyek EOR masih dalam tahapan 3D Seismik. Dengan langkah yang dilakukan, perusahaan ini berharap produksi gas bisa meningkat.

Construction of Duri-Dumai Started November

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. will begin construction of the Duri-Dumai transmission pipeline in Riau Province in November 2017. The 67 km gas pipeline project is jointly developed by PGN and PT Pertamina Gas, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina. Construction of Duri-Dumai transmission pipeline has been assigned through Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 4975 K / 12 / MEM / 2016.

PGN Commercial Director Danny Praditya said that the physical construction of the pipeline takes about 1 year. That is, on October 1, 2018 Surely, the gas pipeline has been built in accordance with the contract of gas distribution from the Block Corridor (ConocoPhillips Grissik Limited) and Block Bentu (Energi Mega Persada).

"In early November PGN commenced construction of a natural gas transmission pipeline project from Duri to Dumai for 67 years. Physical development, can start because there is no more land acquisition problem. The reason is that there is a segment that will use the land of the toll road (right of way) of Pekanbaru-Dumai segment which is done by PT Hutama Karya. Thus, land acquisition becomes more minimal.

According to him, PGN has completed the licensing starting from the principle permit to the environmental permit so that the physical construction can be started.

 "We have obtained the principle permit from the regional government and environmental permit," he said.

PGN and Pertaagas will cost US $ 76 million or equivalent to Rp 1.02 trillion (Rp 13,500 per US $). Development fund of pipes is sourced and internal cash of each company.

PGN and Pertagas will form a joint venture. PGN holds 40% ownership, while Pertagas is 60%. The total gas supply that will flow into the transmission pipeline is about 200 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd).

The gas will be channeled to meet the needs of industries in Riau, port requirements, petrochemical industry, and operational needs of Pertamina's Dumai Plant.

"In principle on the PGN side is ready, just waiting for the readiness of the partners," he said.

Not only in Dumai, PGN is currently developing West Natuna Transmissi on System (WNTS) natural gas transmission pipeline infrastructure to Pemping Island, Riau Islands Province which is a government assignment project.

PGN also develops natural gas pipeline in Muara Karang-Muara Bekasi along 42 km. In addition, the company builds a natural gas distribution pipeline network in Pasuruan, Mojokerto, East Java.

Previously, PGN Jobi President Director Triananda Hasjim said that the formation of a joint venture will be conducted simultaneously with the pipeline installation process. The joint venture will be a gas carrier in the pipeline.

"Maybe the JV [joint venture] will be parallel with the installation of the pipe," said Jobi.

Konstruksi Duri-Dumai Dimulai November

PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. akan mulai pembangunan pipa transmisi ruas Duri-Dumai di Provinsi Riau pada November 2017. Proyek pipa gas sepanjang 67 km itu digarap bersama oleh PGN dan PT Pertamina Gas, anak usaha PT Pertamina. Pembangunan pipa transmisi Duri-Dumai telah ditugaskan melalui Keputusan Menteri ESDM Nomor 4975 K/12/MEM/2016. 

Direktur Komersial PGN Danny Praditya mengatakan bahwa pembangunan fisik pipa itu butuh waktu sekitar 1 tahun. Artinya, pada 1 Oktober 2018 Pastinya, pipa gas itu sudah terbangun sesuai dengan kontrak penyaluran gas dari Blok Corridor (ConocoPhillips Grissik Limited) dan Blok Bentu (Energi Mega Persada).

“Awal November PGN memulai pengerjaan proyek pipa transmisi gas bumi dari Duri ke Dumai sepanjang 67 ujarnya. Pembangunan fisik, bisa dimulai karena tidak ada lagi masalah pembebasan lahan. Pasalnya, terdapat ruas yang akan menggunakan lahan jalur tol (right of way) ruas Pekanbaru-Dumai yang dikerjakan oleh PT Hutama Karya. Dengan demikian, pembebasan lahan menjadi lebih minim.

Menurutnya, PGN telah menyelesaikan perizinan mulai dari izin prinsip hingga izin lingkungan sehingga konstruksi fisik bisa dimulai.

 “Kami sudah mendapatkan izin prinsip dari pemerintah wilayah dan izin lingkungan,” katanya.

PGN dan Pertaagas akan mengeluarkan biaya sebesar US$ 76 juta atau setara Rp 1,02 triliun (Rp 13.500 per US$). Dana pembangunan pipa bersumber dan kas internal masing-masing perusahaan.

PGN dan Pertagas akan membentuk perusahaan patungan. PGN memegang kepemilikan saham 40%, sedangkan Pertagas 60%. Total pasokan gas yang akan mengalir ke jaringan pipa transmisi tersebut sekitar 200 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd).

Gas tersebut akan dialirkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan industri di Riau, kebutuhan pelabuhan, industri petrokimia, dan kebutuhan operasional Kilang Dumai milik Pertamina.

“Pada prinsipnya di sisi PGN sudah siap, hanya menunggu kesiapan dari mitra,” katanya.

Tidak hanya di Dumai, saat ini PGN sedang mengembangkan infrastruktur pipa transmisi gas bumi West Natuna Transmissi on System (WNTS) ke Pulau Pemping, Provinsi Kepulauan Riau yang merupakan proyek penugasan pemerintah.

PGN juga mengembangkan pipa gas bumi di Muara Karang-Muara Bekasi sepanjang 42 km. Selain itu, perseroan membangun jaringan pipa distribusi gas bumi di Pasuruan, Mojokerto, Jawa Timur.

Sebelumnya, Direktur Utama PGN Jobi Triananda Hasjim mengatakan bahwa pembentukan perusahaan patungan akan dilakukan bersamaan dengan proses pemasangan pipa. Perusahaan patungan tersebut akan menjadi pengangkut gas di ruas pipa tersebut. 

“Mungkin JV [perusahaan patungan] nanti paralel dengan pemasangan pipanya,” kata Jobi.
