Transfer of Manage Rokan Block is Targeted to Finish 2020

The government is very interested in maintaining the pace of production and the process of transition over the management of the Rokan Block. This will be one of the focuses of the government in 2020.

Arifin Tasrif

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif stressed that the transition process from PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia to PT Pertamina could be completed in 2020, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources also encouraged the acceleration of the implementation of oil and gas drilling processes in the block located in Riau Province. According to Minister Arifin, the process of transfer of management between the two parties continued.

the Rokan Block Property of Chevron

"We have asked Pertamina to be proactive, then Chevron can open the door. Every week, Chevron has reported it. Then, Pertamina will meet it," he said.

The acceleration of management transfer is to maintain the production level of the Rokan Block. The maturity of the transfer of management is 2021. Therefore, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources asks Pertamina to immediately prepare investment funds for drilling. From the target of drilling 72 wells in the Rokan Block next year, Arifin hopes, at least Pertamina will be able to drill 20 wells.

However, Arifin admitted that there were still some administrative obstacles and other important issues between the two parties that were business to business (B to B).

"Indeed there are several matters relating to regulations and administrative contracts that must be resolved. But next year it must be completed," Arifin said without elaborating on the number of issues in question.

Alih Kelola Blok Rokan Ditargetkan Selasai 2020

Pemerintah sangat berkepentingan dalam menjaga laju produksi dan proses transisi alih kelola Blok Rokan. Hal ini akan menjadi salah satu fokus pemerintah pada tahun 2020. 

Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif menekankan agar proses transisi dari PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia kepada PT Pertamina bisa selesai pada tahun 2020, Kementerian ESDM juga mendorong percepatan pelaksanaan proses pengeboran minyak dan gas bumi di blok yang berlokasi di Provinsi Riau tersebut. Menurut Menteri Arifin, proses alih kelola antara kedua belah pihak terus berlangsung.

"Kami sudah minta Pertamina proaktif, kemudian Chevron bisa membuka pintu. Setiap minggu, Chevron sudah lapor. Kemudian dipertemukan dengan Pertamina," kata dia.

Percepatan alih kelola ini untuk mempertahankan tingkat produksi Blok Rokan. Adapun jatuh tempo alih kelola adalah tahun 2021. Oleh sebab itu, Kementerian ESDM meminta Pertamina segera menyiapkan dana investasi untuk pengeboran. Dari target pengeboran 72 sumur di Blok Rokan pada tahun depan, Arifin berharap, paling tidak Pertamina sudah bisa mengebor 20 sumur. 

Namun Arifin mengakui masih terdapat beberapa kendala administrasi dan persoalan penting lainnya di antara kedua belah pihak yang bersifat business to business (B to B). 

"Memang ada beberapa hal yang terkait regulasi dan kontrak administratif yang harus diselesaikan. Namun tahun depan harus selesai," kata Arifin tanpa menguraikan sejumlah persoalan yang dimaksud.

Cepu Block Needs 'Dipper' Greater

During a natural decline in national oil production, an anomaly occurred in the Cepu Block. License for Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) in the region the work managed by ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) and Pertamina EP Cepu even need to be revised to optimize the potential for additional production.

ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL)

Currently, the largest oil production comes from the Cepu block of 216,000 barrels per day (BPD) and outperformed the production performance of the Rokan Block, Riau, which was set at 190,000 BPD in 2019. The oil production results from the Cepu Block were obtained from EMCL's performance at the Banyu Urip Field, with an Amdal based production capacity of 220,000 BPD.

the Cepu Block

Besides Banyu Urip, actually last week ExxonMobil had operated oil production from the Kedung Keris Field with a capacity of 10,000 BPD. However, because the Amdal revision to produce oil up to 230,000 BPD has not yet come out, the performance of Banyu Urip and Kedung Keris needs to be adjusted.

"We will balance [the production] between the two oil and gas fields," said ExxonMobil Indonesia President Louise McKenzie.

With the operation of the Kedung Keris field, it has further strengthened the overall production of the Cepu Block, which currently supports more than 25% of Indonesia's oil production. 

    ExxonMobil Indonesia's brilliant performance in Cepu also increased after as of 30 November, the cumulative production from Banyu Urip reached 357 million barrels of oil. With the achievements of ExxonMobil Indonesia, it has fulfilled the commitments of produced reserves from the initial development plan (POD), in less than half the period of the Cooperation Contract.

Based on company information, ExxonMobil Indonesia had previously found around 450 million barrels of oil reserves in the Banyu Urip Field, Cepu Block, precisely in 2001. EMCL signed a Cost Recovery (PSC) production sharing contract on 17 September 2005 and lasted until 2035. In addition to fulfilling its production commitments reserves, EMCL also succeeded in revising the amount of Banyu Urip's 450 million barrels of oil at the time of full funding, and again increased to 823 million barrels of oil.

In the initial POD, the commitment of produced reserves from Banyu Urip was recorded at 357 million BPD and was fulfilled. Seeing the achievements of Louise also claimed to continue to hope to be able to meet more than double the volume commitment of the initial development plan. Referring to SKK Migas data, the production of Cepu Block oil lifting is targeted at 216,000 BPD in 2019.

Until September 2019, the realization of Cepu Block oil lifting was recorded to have exceeded the target of 216,011 BPD. Deputy of Operations of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Julis Wiratno explained that so far the production from Banyu Urip is still purely contained in oil and no water has been produced which is part of very good reservoir management. "

Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA)

Actually, with the increase in oil reserves and the Banyu Urip Field, production volumes can be increased. However, the completion of the Amdal permit revision has not yet been completed. Regarding the EIA process, Louise said there were several stages that must be passed, without mentioning what the phases were.

"We are making progress, and hopefully [the Amdal permit] will come out in a month or two," he said.

On the other hand, Head of the East Java Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Office Setiadjit said investors were asked to be active in addressing permit and Amdal difficulties so that his party could facilitate. Regarding the revision of the Amdal of the Banyu Urip Field, Setiadjit acknowledged that the Bojonegoro Regency Government had not submitted a proposed change.

"Now the Bojonegoro Regency Government needs to be encouraged. If necessary, I visit the Bojonegoro Regent about this [Amdal revision], "he said.

It is very ironic if the efforts of the Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) together with SKK Migas to increase production are hampered by licensing matters. Implicitly, SKK Migas also wants the Amdal revision to be completed soon. Moreover, according to the Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said that in accordance with the High Rate Test (HRT) of the Banyu Urip Field, it is capable of producing oil of 235,000 BPD safely.

Dwi also hopes that all licensing processes can be completed quickly. Because with the Amdal revision being hampered, increased production from the Cepu Block has also been hampered. Like an increase in oil such as the volume of water in a bucket but can not be taken more, because the 'dipper' or EIA permit is not revised.

Cepu Perlu ‘Gayung’ Lebih Besar

Di saat penurunan alamiah produksi minyak bumi nasional, anomali terjadi di Blok Cepu. lzin Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal) di wilayah kerja yang dikelola oleh ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) dan Pertamina EP Cepu itu bahkan perlu direvisi demi mengoptimalkan potensi tambaban produksi.

Saat ini, produksi minyak terbesar berasal dari blok Cepu sebesar 216.000 barel per hari (bph) dan mengungguli kinerja produksi Blok Rokan, Riau, yang ditetapkan sebesar 190.000 bph pada 2019. Hasil produksi minyak dari Blok Cepu didapatkan dari kinerja EMCL di Lapangan Banyu Urip, dengan kapasitas produksi berdasarkan Amdal sebesar 220.000 bph. 

Selain Banyu Urip, sebenarnya pekan lalu ExxonMobil telah mengoperasikan produksi minyak dari Lapangan Kedung Keris dengan kapasitas 10.000 bph. Hanya saja, karena revisi Amdal untuk dapat memproduksi minyak hingga 230.000 bph belum keluar, kinerja dari Banyu Urip dan Kedung Keris perlu disesuaikan.

“Kami akan menyeimbangkan [produksi] antara dua lapangan migas tersebut,” tutur President ExxonMobil Indonesia Louise McKenzie.

Dengan beroperasinya Iapangan Kedung Keris, semakin mengukuhkan keseluruhan produksi Blok Cepu, yang saat ini menopang lebih dari 25% produksi minyak Indonesia. Kinerja cemerlang ExxonMobil Indonesia di Cepu pun bertambah setelah per 30 November lalu, produksi kumulatif dari Banyu Urip mencapai 357 juta barel minyak. Dengan capaian   ExxonMobil Indonesia telah memenuhi komitmen cadangan terproduksikan dari rencana pengembangan (POD) awal, dalam waktu kurang dari setengah periode Kontrak Kerja Sama.

Berdasarkan informasi perusahaan, ExxonMobil Indonesia sebelumnya telah menemukan cadangan minyak sekitar 450 juta barel di Lapangan Banyu Urip, Blok Cepu, tepatnya pada 2001. EMCL menandatangani kontrak bagi hasil (PSC) Cost Recovery pada 17 September 2005 dan berlangsung hingga 2035. Selain memenuhi komitmen memproduksi cadangan, EMCL juga berhasil merevisi jumlah cadangan Banyu Urip 450 juta barel minyak pada saat pendanaan penuh (full funding), dan kembali meningkat menjadi 823 juta barel minyak.

Dalam POD awal, komitmen cadangan terproduksikan dari Banyu Urip tercatat 357 juta bph dan telah terpenuhi. Melihat capaian Louise pun mengaku terus berharap untuk dapat memenuhi Iebih dari dua kali lipat komitmen volume rencana pengembangan awal. Mengacu data SKK Migas, produksi siap jual (lifting) minyak Blok Cepu ditargetkan 216.000 bph pada 2019. 

Hingga September 2019 lalu, realisasi lifting minyak Blok Cepu tercatat telah melampaui target, yakni sebesar 216.011 bph. Deputi Operasi Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Julis Wiratno menjelaskan sejauh ini produksi dari Banyu Urip masih murni berisi kandungan minyak dan belum ada air yang ikut terproduksi bagian dari reservoir management yang sangat bagus.”

Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal)

Sebenarnya, dengan meningkatnya cadangan minyak dan Lapangan Banyu Urip, volume produksi dapat ditingkatkan. Namun,belum rampungnya pengurusan revisi izin Amdal masih menjadi hambatan. Terkait proses Amdal, Louise mengatakan ada beberapa tahapan yang harus dilalui, tanpa menyebut apa saja fase tersebut. 

“Kami mengalami kemajuan, dan mudah-mudahan [izin Amdal] akan keluar dalam satu-dua bulan,” katanya.

Di sisi lain, Kepala Dinas Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Jawa Timur Setiadjit mengatakan investor diminta aktif untuk menyampaikan kesulitan perizinan dan Amdal, sehingga pihaknya dapat memfasilitasi. Terkait dengan revisi Amdal Lapangan Banyu Urip, Setiadjit mengakui pihak Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro belum menyampaikan usulan perubahan. 

“Sekarang ini yang dari Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro perlu didorong. Kalau perlu saya berkunjung ke Bupati Bojonegoro tentang ini [revisi Amdal],” tuturnya.

Sangat ironis sebenarnya apabila upaya Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS) bersama SKK Migas untuk meningkatkan produksi terhambat urusan perizinan. Secara implisit, SKK Migas pun menginginkan revisi Amdal segera rampung. Apalagi, menurut Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan sesuai dengan High Rate Test (HRT) Lapangan Banyu Urip mampu memproduksi minyak sebesar 235.000 bph dengan aman.

Dwi pun berharap semua proses perizinan dapat diselesaikan dengan cepat. Karena dengan terhambatnya revisi Amdal, peningkatan produksi dari Blok Cepu pun ikut terhambat. Ibarat bertambahnya minyak seperti volume air dalam ember tetapi tidak dapat diambil lebih banyak, karena ‘gayung’ atau izin Amdal tidak direvisi.

Rokan Block Production Down to 161 Thousand BPH

Next year's Rokan Block oil production is targeted at only 161 thousand barrels per day (BPD), down 15.26% from this year's production target of 190 thousand BPD. The process of transfer of management to PT Pertamina (Persero) must be completed immediately so that the oil and gas block production can be higher.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto said the Rokan Block oil production target will drop next year because of the production sharing contract / PSC block has run out in 2021. So the Rokan Block contractor, namely PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI), reduces its operating activities.

the Rokan Block

"The Rokan oil production target of 161 thousand BPD is down because there is no activity. So we now encourage the transition to take place as quickly as possible, "he said during a visit to Bojonegoro.

He explained, the Rokan Block oil production target of 161 thousand BPD only counted Chevron's planned activities. Because, in the work plan and budget (work plan and budget / WP & B) Block Rokan, has not included the planned activities to be carried out by Pertamina in the transition period in 2020.

"It is hoped that Pertamina can enter to conduct drilling, it is hoped that it can improve what is included in WP&B," Dwi said.

Regarding the transfer of management of the Rokan Block, he said that Pertamina and Chevron were still having discussions. One of the problems that are driving up these negotiations is the question of economics. Both have their respective counts related to liabilities and benefits that exist in the next two years until the end of 2021. Dwi added, the negotiations between the two oil and gas companies were almost final.

"Pertamina plans to report this week, for the legal and valuation aspects," he said.

In the transition period, he hopes that Pertamina can increase investment in the Rokan Block. Thus, there is additional production potential from drilling activities carried out by the state-owned oil and gas company. But this still depends on the results of discussions between the two companies. 

     Dwi had revealed, Pertamina already has a plan related to what activities will be carried out in the Rokan Block next year. Not only that, the state-owned oil and gas company has also prepared funds. It also hopes that Pertamina can implement the advanced oil recovery (EOR) method that has been researched by Chevron.

Previously, Pertamina Upstream Director Dharmawan H Samsu had revealed, his side was ready to fund the drilling of wells in the Rokan Block next year. However, the realization of this activity depends on the agreement with Chevron. Regarding the number of wells to be drilled, he wants as much as possible, but this is influenced by the availability of the wellhead and valve they have.

During the heyday of Rokan Block in 1973, oil production was almost 1 million BPD. However, oil and gas block production continues to decline over time. In 2011, the Rokan Block still produced around 356.98 thousand BPD of oil or contributed 39.56% of the total national oil production at that time 902.35 BPD. However, referring to SKK Migas data, at the end of September 2019, the block oil lifting was only 192,193 BPD or 25.8% of the total national oil lifting of 744,700 BPD.

    The government has appointed Pertamina as the operator of the Rokan Block after its existing contract expires in 2021 in July last year. However, the Rokan Block PSC contract for the period after 2021 was only signed by Pertamina in May 2020. The transition process for the management of the new Rokan Block is rolling after the new contract is signed.

Produksi Blok Rokan Turun Menjadi 161 Ribu BPH

Produksi minyak Blok Rokan pada tahun depan ditargetkan hanya 161 ribu barel per hari (bph), turun 15,26% dari target produksi tahun ini sebesar 190 ribu bph. Proses alih kelola ke PT Pertamina (Persero) harus segera rampung agar produksi blok migas ini bisa lebih tinggi. 

Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan, target produksi minyak Blok Rokan turun di tahun depan lantaran production sharing contract/PSC blok tersebut habis di 2021. Sehingga kontraktor Blok Rokan, yakni PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI), mengurangi aktifitas operasinya.

“Target produksi minyak Rokan 161 ribu bph, turun, karena tidak ada aktifitas. Maka kami sekarang mendorong transisi berlangsung secepat-cepatnya,” kata dia dalam kunjungan ke Bojonegoro.

Dia menjelaskan, target produksi minyak Blok Rokan 161 ribu bph hanya menghitung rencana kegiatan Chevron. Pasalnya, dalam rencana kerja dan anggaran (work plan and budget/WP&B) Blok Rokan, belum memasukkan rencana kegiatan yang akan dilakukan oleh Pertamina di masa transisi pada tahun 2020.

“Diharapkan Pertamina bisa masuk untuk melakukan drilling, diharapkan bisa memperbaiki apa yang masuk dalam WP&B,” ujar Dwi.

Terkait alih kelola Blok Rokan, disebutnya bahwa Pertamina dan Chevron masih melakukan diskusi. Salah satu masalah yang mengganjak negosiasi ini yakni soal keekonomian. Keduanya memiliki hitungan masing-masing terkait liabilitas dan manfaat yang ada dalam dua tahun ke depan hingga akhir 2021. Dwi menambahkan, negosiasi kedua perusahaan migas itu hampir final.

“Pertamina berencana melaporkan pada minggu ini, untuk aspek legal dan aspek valuasi,” tuturnya.

Pada masa transisi, pihaknya berharap Pertamina bisa menambah investasi di Blok Rokan. Sehingga, ada tambahan potensi produksi dari aktifitas pengeboran yang dilakukan oleh perusahaan migas pelat merah itu. Namun hal ini masih tergantung hasil diskusi kedua perusahaan. 

      Dwi sempat mengungkapkan, Pertamina telah memiliki perencanaan terkait kegiatan apa saja yang akan dijalankan di Blok Rokan pada tahun depan. Tak hanya itu, perusahaan migas pelat merah itu juga telah menyiapkan dananya. Pihaknya juga berharap Pertamina dapat mengimplementasikan metode pengurasan minyak tahap lanjut (enhanced oil recovery/EOR) yang telah diriset Chevron.

     Sebelumnya, Direktur Hulu Pertamina Dharmawan H Samsu sempat mengungkapkan, pihaknya siap mendanai pengeboran sumur di Blok Rokan pada tahun depan. Namun, realisasi kegiatan ini tergantung pada kesepakatan dengan Chevron. Terkait jumlah sumur yang akan dibor, pihaknya ingin sebanyak-banyaknya, namun hal ini dipengaruhi oleh ketersediaan well head dan valve yang dimiliki. 

Blok Rokan pada masa kejayaannya di 1973, produksi minyaknya hampir mencapai 1 juta bph. Namun, produksi blok migas ini terus turun seiring waktu. Di 2011, Blok Rokan masih menghasilkan minyak sekitar 356,98 ribu bph atau berkontribusi 39,56% dari total produksi minyak nasional saat itu 902,35 bph. Namun mengacu data SKK Migas, di akhir September 2019 lalu, lifting minyak blok ini hanya 192.193 bph atau 25,8% dari total lifting minyak nasional 744.700 bph. 

Pemerintah telah menetapkan Pertamina sebagai operator Blok Rokan pasca kontrak eksistingnya berakhir pada 2021 nanti pada Juli tahun lalu. Namun, kontrak PSC Blok Rokan untuk periode setelah 2021, baru ditandatangani oleh Pertamina pada Mei tahun 2020 ini. Proses transisi pengelolaan Blok Rokan baru bergulir pasca kontrak baru ditandatangani.
