Pertamina to Build LPG Terminal in Tuban-East Java

Due to the land area of ​​60 hectares to be used for Pertamina's LPG terminal, and to the east of PT Trans Pasific Oil Refinery Petrochemical Indotama (TPPI). District Government (Pemkab) and the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) Tuban, optimistic project of LPG terminal (Liquefied Petroleum Gas / LPG) refrigated operate smoothly and not as complicated as Tuban NGRR Refinery.

"We are optimistic and support the LPG terminal project," said Chairman of Tuban DPRD, HM Miyadi, S.Ag when confirmed in Teuku Umar Tuban Road building.

He explained if the project is still the process of obtaining permits at the center. He also hopes that by 2019, construction projects can begin, and then proceed with the Pertamina-Rosneft Russia Pertamina-Pertamina Plantation Tuban NGRR project.

Confirmed separately, Vice Regent of Tuban, Ir. H Noor Nahar Hussein, M.Si confirmed if the LPG terminal project will be built on the East TPPI. For details, Vice Regent has not received official data from Pertamina.

"The project will use Pertamina's 60 Hectare field," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of Environment Department of Tuban, Sunarko, added that the LPG terminal project has been heard by the District Government since 6 months ago and was built in the District of Jenu. Nevertheless, until now there has been no development info.

"There are still plans and no formal documents have been submitted," confirmed separately.

So is the Head of Jenu, Sugeng Winarno, assess the construction of LPG terminal in its territory because of the need. It is expected that after the Fuel Terminal (BBM) and LPG will make the society more prosperous.

"We expect the welfare of the surrounding environment to increase," hoped the former Head of Tuban Merakurak East Java.

To note, Pertamina finally decided to build a LPG terminal in Tuban East Java. This decision was taken because no eligible bidders were eligible. Pertamina Corporate Marketing Directorate Muchamad Iskandar said the company has actually opened a tender for the construction of refrigated LPG terminal in East Java. Initially, the construction of this LPG terminal uses the asset transfer scheme (Build Operate Transfer / BOT).

Under the scheme, there are parties who provide land for building by other parties within the agreed time frame. After the contract expires, the land and buildings following the facility are handed back. Currently, the project has entered the tender stage of construction and engineering (Engineering, Procurement and Construction / EPC).

Pertamina akan Bangun Terminal LPG di Tuban

Karena lahan seluas 60 hektare yang akan digunakan untuk terminal LPG milik Pertamina, dan berada di sebelah Timur Kilang Minyak PT Trans Pasific

Petrochemical Indotama (TPPI). Pemerintah Kabupaten (Pemkab) dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) Tuban, optimis proyek terminal elpiji (Liquefied Petroleum Gas/LPG) refrigated beroperasi mulus dan tidak serumit Kilang NGRR Tuban.

“Kami optimis dan mendukung proyek terminal LPG,” ujar Ketua DPRD Tuban, HM Miyadi,S.Ag saat dikonfirmasi di gedung dewan Jalan Teuku Umar Tuban.

Dia menjelaskan jika proyek tersebut masih proses pengurusan izin di pusat. Ia juga berharap pada tahun 2019, proyek kontruksi sudah bisa dimulai, kemudian dilanjutkan proyek Kilang NGRR Tuban patungan Pertamina-Rosneft Rusia.

Dikonfirmasi terpisah, Wakil Bupati Tuban, Ir. H Noor Nahar Hussein,M.Si membenarkan jika proyek terminal LPG akan dibangun di sebelah Timur TPPI. Untuk keterangan lengkapnya, Wakil Bupati belum mendapat data resmi dari Pertamina.

“Proyek itu akan menggunakan lahan 60 Hektare milik Pertamina,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Kepala bidang Tata Lingkungan Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (LH) Tuban, Sunarko, menambahkan, proyek terminal LPG sudah didengar Pemerintah Kabupaten sejak 6 bulan yang lalu dan dibangun di Kecamatan Jenu. Kendati demikian, sampai sekarang belum ada info perkembangannya.

“Masih rencana saja dan belum ada dokumen formal yang disampaikan,” dikonfirmasi terpisah.

Begitu juga Camat Jenu, Sugeng Winarno, menilai pembangunan terminal LPG di wilayahnya karena kebutuhan. Diharapkan setelah adanya Terminal Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) dan LPG nantinya, menjadikan masyarakat lebih sejahtera.

“Kita harapkan kesejahteraan lingkungan sekitar meningkat,” harap mantan Camat Merakurak Tuban Jawa Timur.

Untuk diketahui, Pertamina akhirnya memutuskan untuk membangun terminal elpiji di Tuban Jawa Timur. Keputusan ini diambil karena tidak ada satu pun peserta lelang yang memenuhi syarat. Direktorat Pemasaran Korporat Pertamina Muchamad Iskandar mengatakan, sebenarnya perusahaan sudah membuka tender untuk pembangunan terminal LPG refrigated di Jawa Timur. Awalnya, memang pembangunan terminal LPG ini menggunakan skema penyerahan aset (Build Operate Transfer/BOT).

Dengan skema itu, ada pihak yang menyediakan lahan untuk didirikan bangunan oleh pihak lain dalam jangka waktu yang disepakati. Setelah kontrak berakhir, maka lahan dan bangunan berikut fasilitas diserahkan kembali. Saat ini, proyek itu sudah masuk tahap tender pengerjaan konstruksi dan perekayasaan (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction/EPC).

PLN Immediately Determine The Fate of Central Indonesia Gas Project

PT PLN (Persero) declared the decision on infrastructure projects as well as gas procurement for power plants in Central Indonesia will be set in June-July this year. Due to changes in gas volume for this project should still be discussed with PTPertarnina (Persero) as a potential winner.

PLN's Strategic Procurement Director Supangkat Iwan Santoso said the change in the volume of gas demand in Central Indonesia was due to the company's decision to use hydropower as a peak load support in Sulawesi. In fact, gas demand in Sulawesi is initially very large and is an anchor of this project.

"With Makassar peaker replaced hydro, so much less needs. With these different volumes, they (prospective winners) are still willing to accept or not. We are still talking about the target, if it can be in June-July there is an answer, "he said in Jakarta.

In the initial announcement of the auction, PLN seeks 200 million cubic feet per day / mmscfd of gas supply for several clusters, namely East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara. In this project, potential investors should be able to guarantee gas supply while providing infrastructure and transportation.

This scheme was taken because to supply Central Indonesia with small and dispersed generators, the required gas supply must be entirely in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Later, investors must build LNG Hub to accommodate LNG on a medium scale, providing ships that will distribute it to PLN plants, including building regasification facilities near power stations. This method makes LNG project becomes more economical because its volume is not too small.

According to Iwan, the talks with Pertamina related to the capacity that was once offered quite large, has now changed significantly. Discussions need to be made to ensure that the project is still feasible to work on Pertamina's standards. Although admittedly, it is rather difficult. Therefore, it took him at least three months from now to discuss this with Pertamina.

"So this (changes in gas volume) changes the design capacity. The change is significant, half is not there, "said Iwan.

Nevertheless, the company opens opportunities for Pertamina to withdraw from this project. If this happens, then it was forced to re-auction the infrastructure and gas procurement project in IndonesiaTengah itu.

"Yes (re-auctioned), with new conditions," he said.

Based on the record, the auction of supply procurement and gas infrastructure for Central Indonesia has been started by PLN since 2016. PLN targeted the auction to finish last year, so gas supply can be realized starting 2019. In this auction, Pertamina managed to get rid of 10 other participants who passed the prequalification. Including Pertamina, there are 11 consortiums of companies passing prequalification.

In detail, Osaka Gas Co Ltd, PT Medco Energi International Tbk, Natural Gas Fenosa SDG SA, Marubeni Corporation, and Socar consortium, Petroleum SA, PT Humpuss Transportasi Kimia, PT PP (Persero) Tbk and PT Toba Sejahtera.

The other participants who passed the consortium were PT Bukaka Teknik Utama Tbk, Tokyo Gas Co Ltd, and Mitsui Co Ltd, a consortium of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) and International Power Ltd, the consortium of Itochu Corporation and PT Energasindo Heksa Karya, a consortium of Shell Gas & Power Development BV and PT Energi Dian Kemala, as well as a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation, Brunei National Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd and Diamond Gas International Pte Ltd.

Auction

In addition to Central Indonesia, Iwan said, the company is also working on similar gas projects for power plants in Bangka, Belitung and Pontianak, as well as power plants in Papua.

"It still goes according to plan. If that (Indonesia) east also started in five locations, "he said.

For gas project in Papua, he said, will utilize gas owned by local government. Therefore, the project is only auctioning its gas infrastructure project.

"Maybe only the EPC was auctioned because our operator," said Iwan.

As for the project in Bangka-belitung-Pontianak, Iwan did not elaborate. He just said, it has selected the auction participants of this project.

"Participants enter offers shortly," he added.

Previously, Senior Manager of Oil and Gas Procurement Division at PLN Solikin explained that the company plans to build LNG logistics system in three clusters in Eastern Indonesia, North Maluku, North Papua and Maluku-Papua Selatan. The number of plants that will be served this LNG facility will reach 30 units spread across the three clusters earlier.

PLN Segera Tentukan Nasib Proyek Gas Indonesia Tengah  

PT PLN (Persero) menyatakan keputusan soal proyek infrastruktur sekaligus pengadaan gas untuk pembangkit listrik di Indonesia Tengah akan ditetapkan pada Juni-Juli tahun ini. Karena perubahan volume gas untuk proyek ini masih harus dibicarakan dengan PTPertarnina (Persero) sebagai

calon pemenang.

Direktur Pengadaan Strategis PLN Supangkat Iwan Santoso mengatakan, perubahan volume kebutuhan gas di Indonesia Tengah karena perseroan memutuskan memakai pembangkit listrik tenaga air sebagai pendukung beban puncak di Sulawesi. Padahal, kebutuhan gas di Sulawesi ini awalnya sangat besar dan merupakan anchor dari proyek ini.

“Dengan Makassar peaker diganti hydro, jadi jauh berkurang kebutuhannya. Dengan Volume berbeda ini, mereka (calon pemenang) masih mau menerima atau tidak. lni masih kami bicarakan, target kalau bisa di bulan Juni-Juli ada jawaban,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Dalam pengumuman awal lelang, PLN mencari pasokan gas sebesar 200 juta kaki kubik per hari/mmscfd untuk beberapa kluster, yakni Kalimantan

Timur dan Kalimantan Selatan, Sulawesi, dan Nusa Tenggara. Dalam proyek ini, calon investor harus bisa menjamin pasokan gas sekaligus menyediakan infrastruktur dan transportasinya.

Skema ini diambil lantaran untuk memasok Indonesia Tengah yang pembangkitnya kecil-kecil dan tersebar, pasokan gas yang dibutuhkan seluruhnya harus dalam bentuk gas alam cair (liquefied natural gas/LNG). Nantinya, investor harus membangun LNG Hub untuk menampung LNG dalam skala menengah, menyediakan kapal yang akan mendistribusikannya ke pembangkit-pembangkit PLN, termasuk membangun fasilitas regasitikasi di dekat pembangkit. Metode ini membuat proyek LNG menjadi lebih ekonomis karena volumenya tidak terlalu kecil.

Menurut Iwan, pembicaraan dengan Pertamina ini terkait kapasitas yang dulunya ditawarkan cukup besar, kini berubah signifikan. Pembahasan perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan bahwa proyek ini masih layak dikerjakan sesuai standar Pertamina. Walaupun diakuinya, hal ini agak sulit. Karena itulah, pihaknya butuh waktu setidaknya tiga bulan dari sekarang untuk membahas ini dengan Pertamina.

“Jadi ini (perubahan volume gas) mengubah kapasitas desain. Perubahannya signifikan, separuhnya tidak ada,” tutur Iwan.

Meski demikian, perseroan membuka peluang bagi Pertamina untuk mundur dari proyek ini. Jika hal ini terjadi, maka pihaknya terpaksa harus melelang ulang proyek infrastuktur sekaligus pengadaan gas di IndonesiaTengah itu. 

“lya (dilelang ulang) , dengan kondisi yang baru,” ujarnya.

Berdasarkan catatan, lelang pengadaan pasokan dan infrastruktur gas untuk Indonesia Tengah ini sudah dimulai PLN sejak 2016 lalu. PLN sempat menargetkan lelang selesai tahun lalu, sehingga pasokan gas dapat direalisasikan mulai 2019. Dalam lelang ini, Pertamina berhasil menyingkirkan 10 peserta lain yang lolos prakualifikasi. Termasuk Pertamina, terdapat 11 konsorsium perusahaan yang lolos prakualifikasi.

Rincinya, Osaka Gas Co Ltd, PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk, Gas Natural Fenosa SDG SA, Marubeni Corporation, dan konsorsium Socar ,Petroleum SA, PT Humpuss Transportasi Kimia, PT PP (Persero) Tbk, dan PT Toba Sejahtera.

Selanjutnya peserta lain yang lolos yakni konsorsium PT Bukaka Teknik Utama Tbk, Tokyo Gas Co Ltd, dan Mitsui Co Ltd, konsorsium PT Perusahaan

Gas Negara (Persero) dan International Power Ltd, konsorsium Itochu Corporation dan PT Energasindo Heksa Karya, konsorsium Shell Gas & Power Development BV dan PT Energi Dian Kemala, serta konsorsium Mitsubishi Corporation, Brunei National Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd, dan Diamond Gas

International Pte Ltd. 

Lelang

Selain di Indonesia Tengah, Iwan menuturkan, perseroan juga mengerjakan proyek gas sejenis untuk pembangkit di Bangka, Belitung, dan Pontianak, serta pembangkit di Papua. 

“Ini masih terus sesuai rencana. Kalau yang (Indonesia) timur juga dimulai di lima lokasi,” kata dia.

Untuk proyek gas di Papua, dikatakannya, akan memanfaatkan gas milik pemerintah daerah. Sehingga, khusus proyek ini, pihaknya hanya melelang

proyek infrastruktur gasnya saja. 

“Mungkin hanya EPC-nya saja dilelang karena operatornya kami,” ujar Iwan.

Sementara untuk proyek di Bangka-belitung-Pontianak, Iwan tidak merincinya. Dia hanya mengatakan, pihaknya sudah menyeleksi peserta lelang proyek ini. 

“Peserta memasukkan penawaran sebentar lagi,” tambahnya.

Sebelumnya, Manajer Senior Pengadaan Divisi Minyak dan Gas PLN Solikin menjelaskan, perseroan berencana membangun sistem logistik LNG dalam tiga kluster di Indonesia Timur, yakni Maluku Utara, Papua Utara, dan Maluku-Papua Selatan. Jumlah pembangkit yang akan dilayani fasilitas LNG ini nantinya mencapai 30 unit yang tersebar di tiga kluster tadi.

Two Blocks of Migas Finish Termination are evaluated

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) said it has completed the evaluation of two of the six oil and gas blocks completed by its termination contract by 2020. The new contractor for the six oil and gas blocks is scheduled to be decided this June.

Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Djoko Siswanto, said the two oil and gas blocks that have been evaluated are South Jambi Block B Block and Brantas Block. Currently South Jambi Block is managed by ConocoPhilips, PT Pertamina (Persero), and Petrochina International Jambi, while the Brantas Block by Lapindo Brantas, PT Prakasa Brantas, and Minarak Labuan Co Llc.

"From the results of the evaluation, (contractor) eksisting (opportunity to continue management). But this has not been decided yet, "he said in Jakarta.

Of the three companies involved in the management of South Jambi Block B Block, only Petrochina submitted a management proposal. Furthermore, in Brantas Block, Lapindo Brantas expressed interest to continue working on the block.

Meanwhile, for four other blocks, namely Blok Salawati Kepala Burung, Malacca Strait, Makassar Strait, and Onshore Salawati Basin, Djoko stated still in evaluation. For the Salawati Basin Block and Bird's Head, it is considering incorporating its management because the distance is quite close. 

     Blok Salawati Kepala Burung is operated by Joint Operating Body (JOB) of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Petrochina. The block's participating interest holders are PHE Salawati 50%, Petrochina International Bird Head 16,78%, RHP Salawati Island BV 14,51%, and Petrogas (Island) Ltd 18,7%.

While Onshore Salawati Basin Block operated Petrochina International Bermuda where PI holders are Petrogas Basin 34.06%, RH Petrogas 25.94%, Petrochina 30%, and Pertamina 10%. As for the Makassar Strait Block, the existing contractor requested an extension of time to submit a proposal for the management plan.

"The existing contractor requested approximately the second week of June 2018, provided the proposal. So there will be pending one block, "said Djoko.

Makassar Strait Block is currently working on Chevron Makassar Strait 72%, PHE 10%, and Tiptop Makassar 18%. Furthermore, for the evaluation process of the Malacca Strait Block, he said that he still discussed the issue of the discretion of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. 

      According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Malacca Strait Block is managed by EMP Malacca Strait SA, while PI holders are Petroleum Kondur 34.46%, Malacca Petroleum Ltd 6.93%, OOGC (Malacca Strait) Ltd 32.58% and PT Imbang Tata Natural 26.03%.

Djoko added that in addition to the blocks currently under management, Pertamina does not propose management proposals for other blocks.

"Brantas Block (Pertamina) is not, Malaka no, Makassar not too. If the Blok Salawati because Pertamina is there, "said Djoko.

Previously, Djoko explained, in accordance with Government Regulation No. 35 of 2004 Article 28, the existing contractor can apply for a contract extension not later than 10 years and no later than 2 years before the contract is completed. While the government must make new management decisions at least one year before the contract termination.

However, the government will attempt to immediately establish new operators of this terminating oil and gas block.

"We are targeting for which (the contract is completed) 2020 set in June, next 2021 in July, 2022 in August, 2023 in September, 2024 in October, 2025 in November, and 2026 in December. So this year is over (new managing), "he said.

The government has set new contractors for oil and gas blocks that have been completed by next year. The government has appointed PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Jambi Merang to become the operator of Jambi Merang Block, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi T empirai for Raja-Pendopo Block, Kalrez Petroletun (Seram) Ltd for Blpk Bula, and CITIC Seram Energy Limited for Seram Non Bula Block.

Referring to the data of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, there are 21 oil and gas blocks that will expire in 2019-2026. Other blocks to be completed by 2021 are Bentu Segat, Long Strait and Rokan Block which produce the largest oil in Indonesia. In 2022, following the Tarakan East Block, Coastal Plains and Pekanbaru, Bengkal, and Sengkang will complete the contract.

Furthermore in 2023, Rimau Block, Jabung, and Corridor. The Corridor Block is one of the blocks with a large gas production in Indonesia which is worked on by Conoco Philips. In 2025, the Bangko Block will follow the completion of the contract.

Dua Blok Migas Terminasi Selesai dievaluasi

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menyatakan telah merampungkan evaluasi dua dari enam blok migas yang selesai kontrak kerja sama-nya (terminasi) pada 2020. Kontraktor baru untuk enam blok migas ini rencananya akan ditetapkan Juni ini.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Djoko Siswanto mengatakan, dua blok migas yang sudah selesai dievaluasi adalah Blok South Jambi Block B dan Blok Brantas. Saat ini Blok South Jambi dikelola oleh ConocoPhilips, PT Pertamina (Persero), dan Petrochina International Jambi,

sementara Blok Brantas oleh Lapindo Brantas, PT Prakasa Brantas, dan Minarak Labuan Co Llc.

“Dari hasil evaluasi, (kontraktor) eksisting (berpeluang melanjutkan pengelolaan). Tetapi ini belum diputuskan,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Dari tiga perusahaan yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan Blok South Jambi Block B, hanya Petrochina yang mengajukan usulan pengelolaan. Selanjutnya di Blok Brantas, Lapindo Brantas menyatakan berminat melanjutkan menggarap blok tersebut.

Sementara untuk empat blok lainnya, yakni Blok Salawati Kepala Burung, Malacca Strait, Makassar Strait, dan Onshore Salawati Basin, Djoko menyatakan masih dalam evaluasi. Untuk Blok Salawati Basin dan Kepala Burung, pihaknya sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menggabungkan pengelolaannya lantaran jaraknya cukup dekat. 

     Blok Salawati Kepala Burung dioperatori Joint Operating Body (JOB) PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Petrochina. Pemegang hak partisipasi blok ini adalah PHE Salawati 50%, Petrochina International Kepala Burung 16,78%, RHP Salawati Island BV 14,51%, serta Petrogas (Island) Ltd 18,7%. 

Sementara Blok Onshore Salawati Basin dioperasikan Petrochina International Bermuda di mana pemegang PI adalah Petrogas Basin 34,06%, RH Petrogas 25,94%, Petrochina 30%, dan Pertamina 10%. Sementara untuk Blok Makassar Strait, kontraktor eksisting meminta perpanjangan waktu untuk mengajukan proposal rencana pengelolaannya. 

“Kontraktor eksisting minta waktu kira-kira minggu kedua Juni 2018, memberikanproposal. Jadi nanti ada yang pending satu blok,” ujar Djoko.

      Blok Makassar Strait saat ini dikerjakan Chevron Makassar Strait 72%, PHE 10%, dan Tiptop Makassar 18%. Selanjutnya, untuk proses evaluasi Blok Malacca Strait, dikatakannya masih membahas masalah diskresi Menteri ESDM. Menurut data Kementerian ESDM, Blok Malacca Strait dikelola oleh EMP Malacca Strait SA, sementara pemegang PI adalah Kondur Petroleum 34,46%, Malacca Petroleum Ltd 6,93%, OOGC (Malacca Strait) Ltd 32,58%, dan PT Imbang Tata

Alam 26,03%.

Djoko menambahkan, selain blok yang kini dikelolanya, Pertamina tidak mengajukan usulan pengelolaan untuk blok lain. 

“Blok Brantas (Pertamina) tidak, Malaka tidak, Makassar tidak juga. Kalau Blok Salawati karena Pertamina ada di situ,” kata Djoko.

Sebelumnya, Djoko menjelaskan, sesuai dengan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 35 Tahun 2004 Pasal 28, kontraktor eksisting dapat mengajukan perpanjangan kontrak paling cepat 10 tahun dan paling lambat 2 tahun sebelum kontrak selesai. Sementara pemerintah harus membuat keputusan pengelola baru paling telat satu tahun sebelum kontrak diterminasi.

Namun, pemerintah akan berupaya secepatnya menetapkan operator baru dari blok migas terminasi ini. 

“Kami targetkan untuk yang (kontraknya selesai) 2020 ditetapkan pada Juni nanti, berikutnya yang 2021 di Juli, 2022 di Agustus, 2023 di September, 2024 di Oktober, 2025 di November, dan 2026 di Desember. Jadi tahun ini selesai (penetapan pengelola baru),” kata dia.

Pemerintah telah menetapkan kontraktor baru untuk blok migas yang selesai kontraknya pada tahun depan. Pemerintah menetapkan PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Jambi Merang akan kembali menjadi operator Blok Jambi Merang, PT Pertamina Hulu Energi T empirai untuk Blok Raja-Pendopo, Kalrez Petroletun (Seram) Ltd untuk Blok Bula, serta CITIC Seram Energy Limited untuk Blok Seram Non Bula.

Mengacu pada data Kementerian ESDM, terdapat 21 blok migas yang akan berakhir pada 2019-2026.

First Quarter, PHE Gas Production Up 2 Percent

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) in the upstream sector, recorded gas production of 777 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) during January-March 2018. The amount is up 2 percent over the same period of 2017 of 765 MMSCFD .

"In 2018, PHE set a production target for March of 767.8 MMSCFD, realization of 1.2 percent higher" said R. Gunung Sardjono Hadi, Director of PHE.

PHE oil production in the first three months of 2018 was 63.037 barrels oil per day (BOPD), not much different from the same period of 2017 of 62,623 BOPD.

"PHE in 2018 targeted oil production in March at 65,243 BOPD, so production in March 2018 was 96.6 percent of the target," Gunung said.

According to Sardjono Hadi Mountain, PHE will accelerate the monetization of PHE reserves by implementing a backup source clustering strategy. This strategy can be used in working areas that have less gas reserves, but can be monetized soon. With PHE clustering no longer thinking just waiting for gas buyers, but innovating how to create a market. The reason, although having large reserves will be useless if there is no gas absorber.

"So it does not depend on the market, but it creates the market. That is what we are now pursuing, The concept of gas monetization is clustered. So we also have to think how to get into the midstream, "said Mount Sardjono Hadi.

He cited the development of gas in Senoro. Senoro gas will never be monetized if the facility does not build the refinery and regasification DSLNG in cooperation with several companies. PHE will also be more open to cooperate with other companies.

"Like Senoro if there is no DSLNG it will not be developed. That's one example for another development. We try to find, create new markets. So we do not sit sweetly waiting to come buyers, "said Mount Sardjono Hadi.

Meanwhile, Ekariza, Director of Operations and Production of PHE, said the realization of PHE gas production depends on absorption in the market if the absorption of large market, PHE can increase its gas production.

"First quarter gas production is higher because there is an increase in absorption. The largest production contribution comes from Tomori, "said Ekoriza.In addition to Tomori, the contribution of PHE gas production comes from the Offshore North West Java (ONWJ) block, Jambi Merang and West Madura Offshore (WMO).

Termination Blocks The target of PHE oil and gas production in the Company's Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) 2018 has also included the production of four terminated block of contracts to be managed by PHE. The four blocks are Tuban, Ogan Komering, Offshore South East Sumatra (OSES) and North Sumatra Offshore (NSO).

Two of the four blocks, Tuban and Ogan Komering, the production sharing contract (PSC) have been signed on April 20, 2018 and are effective as of May 20, 2018.

However, for Sukowati unitization field previously managed by Joint Operation Body (JOB) of Pertamina ~ PetroChina East Java from May 20, 2018 submitted to PT Pertamina EP Another block, Ogan Komering, contract is also signed on 20 April 2018 and effective on 20 May 2018.

Kuartal I, Produksi Gas PHE Naik 2 Persen

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero) di sektor hulu, mencatat produksi gas 777 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD) sepanjang Januari-Maret 2018. Jumlah tersebut naik 2 persen dibanding periode yang sama 2017 sebesar 765 MMSCFD.

“Pada 2018, PHE menetapkan target produksi bulan Maret sebesar 767,8 MMSCFD, realisasinya 1,2 persen lebih tinggi" ujar R. Gunung Sardjono Hadi, Direktur Utama PHE. 

Untuk produksi minyak PHE pada tiga bulan pertama 2018 tercatat 63,037 barrel oil per day (BOPD), tidak jauh berbeda dibanding periode yang sama 2017 sebesar 62,623 BOPD. 

“PHE pada 2018 menargetkan produksi minyak bulan Maret sebesar 65,243 BOPD, sehingga produksi Maret 2018 tercatat 96,6 persen dari target,” kata Gunung.

Menurut Gunung Sardjono Hadi, PHE akan mempercepat monetisasi cadangan PHE dengan menerapkan strategi klasterisasi Sumber cadangan. Strategi ini bisa digunakan di wilayah kerja yang memiliki cadangan gas tidak terlalu besar, namun bisa segera dimonetisasi. Dengan klasterisasi PHE tidak lagi berpikir hanya menunggu pembeli gas, namun berinovasi bagaimana menciptakan pasar. Pasalnya, meski memiliki cadangan besar akan percuma jika tidak ada penyerap gas.

“Jadi tidak tergantung pasar, tapi menciptakan pasar. Itu yang sekarang kami kejar, Konsep monetisasi gas dibikin klaster. Jadi kami juga harus berpikir bagaimana bisa masuk ke midstream,” kata Gunung Sardjono Hadi.

Dia mencontohkan pengembangan gas di Senoro. Gas Senoro tidak akan pernah dimonetisasi andai kata tidak terbangun fasilitas kilang serta regasifikasi DSLNG yang bekerja sama dengan beberapa perusahaan. Untuk itu PHE juga akan lebih membuka diri dalam menjalin kerja sama dengan perusahaan lain. 

“Seperti Senoro kalau tidak ada DSLNG itu tidak akan dikembangkan. Itu salah satu contoh untuk pengembangan lain. Kami mencoba mencari, menciptakan pasar baru. Jadi kami tidak duduk manis menunggu datang pembeli,” kata Gunung Sardjono Hadi.

Sementara itu, Ekariza, Direktur Operasi dan Produksi PHE, mengatakan realisasi produksi gas PHE sangat tergantung dari penyerapan di pasar jika penyerapan pasar besar, maka PHE bisa meningkatkan produksi gasnya. 

“Produksi gas kuartal I lebih tinggi karena ada peningkatan penyerapan. Kontribusi produksi terbesar berasal dari Tomori," kata Ekariza. Selain Tomori, kontribusi produksi gas PHE berasal dari blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), Jambi Merang dan West Madura Offshore (WMO).

Blok Terminasi Target produksi migas PHE pada Rencana Kerja dan Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP) 2018 juga telah memasukkan produksi dari empat blok habis kontrak (terminasi) yang akan dikelola penuh PHE. Keempat blok tersebut adalah Tuban, Ogan Komering, Offshore South East Sumatera (OSES) dan North Sumatera Offshore (NSO).

Dua dari empat blok tersebut, yakni Tuban dan Ogan Komering kontrak kerja sama bagi hasilnya (production sharing contract/PSC) telah ditandatangani pada 20 April 2018 dan berlaku efektif per 20 Mei 2018.

Namun untuk lapangan unitisasi Sukowati yang sebelumnya dikelola Joint Operation Body (JOB) Pertamina~PetroChina East Java mulai 20 Mei 2018 diserahkan ke PT Pertamina EP Blok lainnya, Ogan Komering, kontraktnya juga telah ditandatangani pada 20 April 2018 dan efektif berlaku pada 20 Mei 2018.

Oil and Gas and Geothermal Production Increases

Under the conditions of the problem in the right-left, such as should not raise the price of fuel oil, PT Pertamina can be a little grateful because of the performance of oil and gas (oil and gas) and geothermal production in the first quarter of 2018 grew. They hope that the growth momentum will be maintained until 2018. From January March 2018, Pertamina listed oil and gas equivalent oil production along 923,000 barrels of oll equivalent per day (boepd).

Details, 386,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil production and 3.115 million standard cubic feet per clay (mmscfd) of gas production. Pertamina's only stagnant performance is the geothermal installed capacity of 617 megawatts (mw). But Pertamina is targeting, the capacity will soon increase.

"Currently, the Lumut Balai Unit 1 geothermal project is in the EPC phase and is scheduled to be onstream in Q4 of 2018," said Syamsu Alam, Upstream Director of PT Pertamina (Persero).

For continued performance growth, Pertamina maintains the oil and gas production of Mahakam Block by developing Tunu Shallow Phase 4 Field, Handil Phase 5 and Tambora Phase 5.

Banyu Urip-ExxonMobil Field

Pertamina also plans to increase the production of Banyu Urip-ExxonMobil Field, decrease the decline rate or the rate of production decline by drilling 108 wells and doing well service or repairing wells. After that, the company will re-activate the oil and gas field and optimize the geothermal operation of Ulubelu, Kamojang and Lahendong. 

Jambaran Tiung Biru Field

     While upstream projects that become Pertamina's priorities such as geothermal Karaha and Lumut Balai and gas Jambaran Tiung Biru. Another priority is the development of PIEP PLN Phase IV project to increase oil and gas production from international.

Related to the acquisition of oil and gas, the government decided 100% of the right to manage or participating interest (PI) of 2018 oil and gas blocks fell to Pertamina. The blocks include Tuban, Ogan Komering, NSO, Sanga-Sanga, Attaka, East Kal, OSES, and Central.

"The process of block termination management including operations and human resources runs smoothly," said Syamsu.

Review of LNG Facilities Development

The plan to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Central Indonesia is reviewed. The reason is because there is demand or demand for gas that decreased drastically to meet the needs of power plants owned by PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). Director of Procurement of PLN Supangkat Iwan Santoso said that his party has held talks with a consortium formed by PT Pertamina and PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) which is the winner of the tender related to this change.

Supangkat explains, at the beginning of the gas needs plan Central Indonesia region at least 100 billion british thermal units per day (bbtud). However, due to the active generation of Renewable Energy (EBT), there is a significant decrease in energy demand.

Pengkajian Ulang Pembangunan Fasilitas LNG

Rencana pembangunan fasilitas liquefied natural gas (LNG) wilayah Indonesia Tengah dikaji ulang. Penyebabnya karena ada demand atau permintaan gas yang menurun drastis untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pembangkit listrik milik PT Perusahan Listrik Negara (PLN). Direktur Pengadaan PLN Supangkat Iwan Santoso mengatakan pihaknya sudah melakukan pembicaraan dengan konsorsium yang dibentuk oleh PT Pertamina dan PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) yang menjadi pemenang tender terkait perubahan ini. 

Supangkat menerangkan, di awal rencana kebutuhan gas Wilayah Indonesia tengah paling tidak 100 billion british termal unit per day (bbtud). Namun, karena aktifnya pembangkit Energi Baru Terbarukan (EBT), terjadi penurunan kebutuhan energi yang signifikan. 

"Dulu kebutuhan besar, diganti hidro jadi jauh berkurang kebutuhannya (gas)," kata Supangkat, Senin (28/5).

Dalam tender kali ini, PT Pertamina dan PGN membentuk konsorsium dengan ENGIE, perusahaan pengembang LNG yang berasal dari Prancis. Adapun total investasi membangun berbagai fasilitas tersebut mencapai US$ 1 miliar.

Pertamina Contributed

Pertamina contributed 49 percent of national oil production in the first quarter of 2018. On the other hand, rising oil prices boost operational costs for airlines.

The contribution of oil production of PT Pertamina (Persero) during the first quarter of 2018 was significant to the national petroleum production. In January-March 2018, Pertamina contributed 49 percent of national oil production or 386,000 barrels per day.

The transfer of oil and gas blocks of termination to Pertamina is considered to have a positive impact on the production increase. Pertamina's oil production rose 14 percent compared to 337,000 barrels per day in the first quarter of 2017. The most significant increase occurred in natural gas production.

Throughout the first quarter of 2018, gas production was 3.115 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) or rose 55 percent on an annual basis. Pertamina Corporate Communication Vice President Adiatma Sardjito said the priority programs in Pertamina's upstream oil and gas sector are maintaining oil and gas production of Mahakam Block, East Kalimantan.

Mahakam Block, East Kalimantan

Another program is to prevent the rate of decline in production at Banyu Urip Field, Cepu Block, including the commercialization of some previously inactive fields. In the Mahakam block, Pertamina is developing new fields to increase production, namely Tunu Shallow Phase 4 Field, Handil Phase 5, and Tambora Phase 5.

"To prevent the rate of decline in production at Banyu Urip Field, we drilled 108 wells for treatment, including reactivating previously inactive wells" Adiatma said.

This year, Pertamina was appointed by the government to manage eight blocks of termination oil and gas. The eight blocks are Tuban Block, Ogan Komering Block, North Sumatra Offshore Block, Sanga-Sanga Block, Attaka Block, East Kalimantan Block, Central Block and South East Sumatera Block. The entire set of eight blocks transfer from the old operator to Pertamina has been completed.

Director General of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR) Djoko Siswanto said the handover of oil and gas blocks of termination to Pertamina contributed significantly to oil and gas production. Recently, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources also submitted two blocks of terminated oil and gas to Pertamina, namely Jambi Merang Block and Pendopo-Raja Block.

Flight rate

The airline asked the government to adjust flight rates.

"At least, the lower limit tariff is raised," said Chairman of Indonesia National Air Carriers Association (INACA) Pahala N Mansury in Jakarta. Pahala N Mansury who is also the President Director of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk said that rupiah depreciation is felt by rupiah earning airlines. Because, about 90 percent of aircraft operational costs are calculated in US dollars. Moreover, the price of aviation increases.

According to Pahala N Mansury, currently the price of avtur up 40 percent, while the depreciation of the rupiah 4 percent. Thus, the increase in operational costs to about 17 percent, INACA proposes that the lower limit rate be increased from 30 percent to 40 percent of the upper limit rate. Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi through his short message explains, there has been no decision about tariff adjustment.

Pertamina Berkontribusi

Pertamina menyumbang 49 persen dari produksi minyak nasional pada triwulan I-2018. Di sisi lain, harga minyak yang naik mendongkrak biaya operasionalisasi maskapai.

Kontribusi produksi minyak bumi PT Pertamina (Persero) sepanjang triwulan I-2018 cukup signifikan terhadap produksi minyak bumi nasional. Pada Januari-Maret 2018, Pertamina menyumbang 49 persen dari produksi minyak nasional atau sebanyak 386.000 barrel per hari.

Penyerahan blok migas hasil terminasi kepada Pertamina dinilai berdampak positif terhadap kenaikan produksi itu. Produksi minyak Pertamina naik 14 persen dibandingkan dengan triwulan I-2017 yang sebanyak 337.000 barrel per hari. Kenaikan paling signifikan terjadi pada produksi gas bumi.

Sepanjang triwulan I-2018, produksi gas 3.115 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD) atau naik 55 persen secara tahunan. Vice President Corporate Communication Pertamina Adiatma Sardjito mengatakan, program prioritas di sektor hulu migas Pertamina antara lain mempertahankan produksi minyak dan gas bumi Blok Mahakam, Kalimantan Timur.

Program lain adalah mencegah laju penurunan produksi di Lapangan Banyu Urip, Blok Cepu, termasuk komersialisasi beberapa lapangan yang sebelumnya tidak aktif. Di Blok Mahakam, Pertamina mengembangkan lapangan baru untuk menambah produksi, yaitu Lapangan Tunu Shallow Phase 4, Handil Phase 5, dan Tambora Phase 5. 

”Untuk mencegah laju penurunan produksi di Lapangan Banyu Urip, kami mengebor 108 sumur untuk perawatan, termasuk mengaktifkan kembali sumur-sumur yang sebelumnya tidak aktif” kata Adiatma.

Tahun ini, Pertamina ditunjuk pemerintah untuk mengelola delapan blok migas hasil terminasi. Kedelapan blok tersebut adalah Blok Tuban, Blok Ogan Komering, Blok North Sumatera Offshore, Blok Sanga-sanga, Blok Attaka, Blok East Kalimantan, Blok Tengah, dan Blok South East Sumatera. Seluruh rangkaian alih kelola kedelapan blok tersebut dari operator lama kepada Pertamina sudah tuntas.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Djoko Siswanto mengatakan, penyerahan blok-blok migas hasil terminasi kepada Pertamina berkontribusi signifikan terhadap produksi minyak dan gas. Baru-baru ini, Kementerian ESDM juga menyerahkan dua blok migas hasil terminasi kepada Pertamina, yaitu Blok Jambi Merang dan Blok Pendopo-Raja.

Tarif penerbangan

Maskapai penerbangan meminta pemerintah menyesuaikan tarif penerbangan. 

”Paling tidak, tarif batas bawahnya dinaikkan,” kata Ketua Umum Indonesia National  Air Carriers Association (INACA) Pahala N Mansury di Jakarta. Pahala N Mansury  yang juga Direktur Utama PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk mengatakan, depresiasi rupiah sangat dirasakan maskapai berpenghasilan rupiah. Sebab, sekitar 90 persen biaya operasionalisasi pesawat dihitung dalam dollar AS. Apalagi, harga avtur naik.

Menurut Pahala N Mansury , saat ini harga avtur naik 40 persen, sedangkan depresiasi rupiah 4 persen. Dengan demikian, kenaikan biaya operasionalisasi menjadi sekitar 17 persen, INACA mengusulkan agar tarif batas bawah dinaikkan dari 30 persen menjadi 40 persen dari tarif batas atas. Menteri Perhubungan Budi Karya Sumadi melalui pesan singkatnya menjelaskan, belum ada keputusan soal penyesuaian tarif.
