Government Wants BBM One More Cheap Price

Regarding the price of fuel assignment, PT Pertamina Retail All this follows the government rules.

It seems that the price of the fuel oil (BBM) one will be even cheaper than what is now sold by PT Pertamina, which sells Premium gasoline (RON 88). This is after PT Vivo Energy SPBU Indonesia dare to sell research Octan Number 89 / RON 89 with product name Revvo 89 with price Rp 6,100 per liter for BBM one price.

Previously, through Presidential Regulation No. 191/2014 on Provision of Distribution and Retail Sale Price. This year, Pertamina get the assignment of fuel sales type RON 88 worth Rp 6.450 per liter for BBM one price.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ignatius Jonan asserted that the price of the assignment to Pertamina has been determined. "So, we will wait for Pertamina to propose it more efficiently or not," explained Jonan, after inaugurating the Vivo Gas Filling Station in Cilangkap, Jakarta Tinur, Thursday (26/10).

So ESDM Minister Ignatius Jonan handed over to Pertamina whether to reduce the price of BB fuel type of Ron 88. He allows if the premium price is lowered to Rp 6,100 per liter, just like the price of ron 89 belongs to Vivo.

"It could be (Rp 6,100), Rp 5,000 is also more allowable." The business people do it their way, "he said.

Jonan said the price of Vivo gas stations is competitive compared to the special fuel ron 88 assignment sold by PT Pertamina at a price of Rp 6.450 per liter.

"This is in accordance with the direction of the President, people have more choices and fuel can be reached by the community," he said.

Coorporate Communication Vivo Energy Indonesia Maldi Al Jufri said the price of ron 89 of Rp 6,100 is in accordance with the economy. 

"We are here to do business, so we are not a social institution either, we are not," he explained.

Vivo is also ready to get the assignment of BBM one price because it will build gas stations outside Java Island and eastern Indonesia, such as in Maluku and Seram Island. In addition to selling ron 89 with Revvo 89, Vivo also sells Revvo 90 and Revvo 92 each at Rp 7,500 per liter and Rp 8,250 per liter.

Head of Oil and Gas Downstream Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) Fanshurullah Asa said Vivo had sent the Letter; to BPH Migas to participate in the assignment of BBM one price. In the near future it will call Vivo to make a presentation in front of the BPH Migas Committee.

"The assignment of fuel for one price so far only to PT Pertamina and PT AKR Corporindo Tbk," he said.

Ivan Asmara, Corporate Secretary of PT Pertamina Retail, affirmed that the policy of selling price of BBM is determined by the Government through Pertamina.

"We at Pertamina Retail there has been no direction from the center related to the new pricing of Premium gasoline (Ron 88)," he said.

President Director of PT Pertamina Retail Sofyan Yusuf said that if Pertamina sell Premium (Ron 88) around the refinery would be cheaper. "But we have an obligation to distribute from Sabang to Merauke," he said.

Pertamina had previously lost 12 trillion in premium and diesel in its assignment, including one price fuel. That's because in channeling BBM must maintain security of supply for all of Indonesia.

"If there is an empty gas station will be noisy, but if there is a private SPBU closed, no one fussed, so there is a cost in keep the security of supply, "he said.

Vivo: We Are Not Affiliated with Political Parties

WHO is the owner of Vivo? This is a hot topic. Therefore, the presence of gas stations Vivo very surprising downstream industry of fuel oil. Even the price of gasoline Vivo type Ron 89 cheaper than the premium (ron 88) Pertamina production.

Since its emergence, PT Vivo Energy Indonesia had a holding company named PT Nusantara Energy Petroleum Indonesia. But the name of the business entity is dead. Vivo Energy is the parent of PT Vivo Energy SPBU Indonesia.

Who is behind Vivo? There is a link to this company belonging to Mohammad Riza Chalid (Head of the Oil and Gas Mafia in Indonesia), Prabowo Subianto (former Commander of Kopassus Special Forces), to Bambang Trihatmojo (son of former President Soeharto). However, Vivo Energy Corporate Communication Mahdi Al Jufri stated, Vivo is affiliated with Vitol Group, France.

"We have nothing to do with the names that are often called, including with any political party," he said.

He explained, Vivo just want to do business because it sees great opportunities in Indonesia.

"If you say the funds, yes, unlimited, Vitol is a world player," he said.

Pemerintah Ingin BBM Satu Harga Lebih Murah

Soal harga BBM penugasan, PT Pertamina Retail Selama ini mengikuti aturan pemerintah

Tampaknya harga penugasan Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) satu akan lebih murah lagi dari yang sekarang dijual PT Pertamina, yang menjual bensin Premium (RON 88). Hal ini setelah PT Vivo Energy SPBU Indonesia berani menjual research Octan Number 89/RON 89 dengan nama produk Revvo 89 dengan harga Rp 6.100 per liter untuk BBM satu harga.

Sebelumnya, melalui Peraturan Presiden Nomor 191/2014 tentang Penyediaan Pendistribusian dan Harga Jual Eceran. Tahun ini, Pertamina mendapatkan penugasan penjualan BBM jenis RON 88 seharga Rp 6.450 per liter untuk BBM satu harga.

Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Ignasius Jonan menegaskan, harga penugasan ke Pertamina itu sudah ditetapkan. "Jadi nanti kita tunggu, apa Pertamina mau mengusulkan itu lebih efisien atau tidak," terang Jonan, usai meresmikan Stasiun Pengisian Bahan bakar Umum (SPBU) Vivo di Cilangkap, Jakarta Tinur, Kamis (26/10).

Maka Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan menyerahkan kepada Pertamina apakah bisa menurunkan harga BBM jenis Ron 88. Ia membolehkan apabila harga premium itu diturunkan sampai Rp 6.100 per liter, sama seperti harga ron 89 milik Vivo. 

"Boleh (Rp 6.100). Rp 5.000 juga lebih boleh lagi. Orang usaha kan caranya sendiri-sendiri," tandasnya.

Jonan menyatakan harga SPBU Vivo memang bersaing dibandingkan dengan BBM khusus penugasan ron 88 yang dijual oleh PT Pertamina dengan harga Rp 6.450 per liter.

"Ini sesuai arahan Presiden, masyarakat mempunyai pilihan lebih banyak dan BBM tetap bisa terjangkau masyarakat," katanya.

Coorporate Communication Vivo Energy Indonesia Maldi Al Jufri mengatakan, harga ron 89 sebesar Rp 6.100 sudah Sesuai keekonomian. "Kita di sini ingin berbisnis. Jadi kita juga bukan panti sosial. Kalau dibilang rugi, ya, lnsya Allah tidak," terangnya.

Vivo juga siap mendapat penugasan BBM satu harga karena pihaknya akan membangun SPBU di luar Pulau Jawa dan Indonesia timur, seperti di Maluku dan Pulau Seram. Selain menjual ron 89 dengan Revvo 89, Vivo juga menjual Revvo 90 dan Revvo 92 masing-masing dengan harga Rp 7.500 per liter dan Rp 8.250 per liter.

Kepala Badan Pengatur Hilir Minyak dan Gas Bumi (BPH Migas) Fanshurullah Asa mengatakan, Vivo sudah mengirimkan Surat; kepada BPH Migas untuk ikut dalam penugasan BBM satu harga.

Dalam waktu dekat pihaknya akan memanggil Vivo untuk melakukan presentasi di depan Komite BPH Migas.

"Penugasan BBM satu harga selama ini hanya kepada PT Pertamina dan PT AKR Corporindo Tbk saja," ujarnya.

Ivan Asmara, Sekretaris Perusahaan PT Pertamina Retail menegaskan, kebijakan harga jual BBM penugasan ditentukan Pemerintah, melalui Pertamina. 

"Kami di Pertamina Retail belum ada arahan dari pusat terkait penetapan harga baru jenis bensin Premium (Ron 88)," katanya. 

Direktur Utama PT Pertamina Retail Sofyan Yusuf mengungkapkan, jika Pertamina menjual Premium (Ron 88) di sekitar kilang tentu bisa lebih murah lagi. "Tetapi kami mempunyai kewajiban mendistribusikan dari Sabang sampai Merauke," kata dia.

Sebelumnya Pertamina rugi 12 triliun menjual premium dan solar dalam penugasan, termasuk BBM satu harga. Itu karena dalam menyalurkan BBM harus menjaga security of supply untuk seluruh Indonesia. 

"Kalau ada SPBU yang kosong nanti pada ribut. Tetapi kalau ada SPBU swasta tutup, tidak ada yang meributkan. Jadi ada biaya dalam

menjaga security of supply tersebut," ujarnya.

Vivo: Kami Tidak Terafiliasi dengan Partai Politik  

SIAPA pemilik Vivo? Ini yang sedang menjadi topik hangat. Sebab, kehadiran SPBU Vivo sangat mengejutkan industri hilir bahan bakar minyak. Bahkan harga jual bensin Vivo jenis Ron 89 lebih murah dibandingkan premium (ron 88) produksi Pertamina.

Sejak kemunculannya, PT Vivo Energy Indonesia sempat memiliki induk usaha bernama PT Nusantara Energy Petroleum Indonesia. Namun nama badan usaha itu sudah mati. berganti Vivo Energy yang menjadi induk PT Vivo Energy SPBU Indonesia.

Siapa di balik Vivo? Ada yang menghubungkan perusahaan ini milik Mohammad Riza Chalid, Prabowo Subianto, sampai Bambang Trihatmojo. Namun, Corporate Communication Vivo Energy Mahdi Al Jufri menyatakan, Vivo terafiliasi dengan Vitol Group, Prancis. 

"Kami tidak ada hubungan dengan nama-nama yang sering disebut itu, termasuk dengan partai politik manapun," ujarnya.

Dia menjelaskan, Vivo hanya ingin berbisnis karena melihat peluang besar di Indonesia. 

"Kalau dibilang dana, ya, unlimited, Vitol itu pemain dunia," katanya.

Business gas stations more vibrant

Oil fuel business in the country will be more competitive because the new players who will set up oil refueling stations are projected to grow.

When there is PT Pertamina, Shell Indonesia, Total, and PT AKR Corporindo Tbk. who had already done business in the downstream sector of oil and gas. It is now PT Vivo Energy Indonesia, the owner of a Vivo gas station (SPBU), which goes into downstream oil and gas business.

Vivo fuels sells a new type of octane number (RON) 89 because it is prohibited from selling Premium which has octane content of 88. Vivo sells three types of fuel oil, namely Revvo RON 89, Revvo 90, and Revvo 92.

Corporate Communication of PT Vivo Energy Indonesia Maldi Al Jufrie said that the company's decision to sell fuel oil with RON 89 content to avoid downstream polemic of oil and gas market in Indonesia. So far only PT Pertamina that sells fuel with RON 88 or Premium.

Vivo products in the form of Revvo RON 89 are sold at Rp 6,100 per liter lower than Premium Rp 6,550 per liter. Revvo RON 90 is equivalent to Pertalite sold at Rp 7,500 per liter equal to Pertalite.

In addition, Revvo RON 92 (equivalent to Pertamax) is sold at Rp 8,250 per liter. Currently, the government still regulates Premium and diesel prices for areas outside Java, Madura, and Bali. Meanwhile, fuel oil (BBM) into the category of assignment when sold in areas other than Java, Madura, and Bali.

Based on Presidential Regulation No.191 / 2014 on Provision, Distribution and Retail Price of BBM, the ownership of processing facilities, storage, and distribution of BBM so that business entity can get assignment, that is selling Premium type of fuel.

Until now, the new government commissioned the provision and distribution to Pertamina. On the other hand, Vivo builds gas stations not only in Java, but also in Maluku which is planned to be built three units. According to Maldi, with the approval of the government, it can create new products with RON 89 or higher dPremium levels.

"We really do not want to be involved in a polemic of 88 why there has not been an appointment of 88. Therefore we thank God for the approval of the government can make new products Revvo 89," he said after the inauguration of Vivo operational test in Cilangkap, East Jakarta, Thursday (26/10).

MIXED

To modify the levels of RON, Maldi admitted that his side to mix fuel in Tanjung Priok. Later, the products are ready to sell with RON 89. Besides Cilangkap, East Jakarta, other new gas stations will be built around seven units in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok and Tangerang. Related to the pricing mechanism, Maldi said that his party sells fuel in accordance with the price of the economy that can change at any time.

"Now in storage will be able to send directly. The storage is in Priok, "he said.

Vivo Energy has three fuel storage Lunts in Tanjung Priok Jakarta to temporarily accommodate imported fuel. ESDM Minister Ignasius Jonan reiterated the Vivo fuel station operational test for setting a cheaper fuel price.

According to him, the government provides an opportunity for the private sector to do business in downstream oil business line. Provided, stick to the rules.

"Vivo is why I came, this is because it sells its RON 92, 90, and 89. That 89, today sold at Rp 6,100 per liter" he said after reviewing Vivo gas stations.

Quoted and Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 48/2005 on Standard and Quality (Specification) and Supervision of Fuel, Gas, Materials Other Fuel, LPG, LNG and Processed Products Marketed in the Interior, the Director General of Oil and Gas establishes the quality standards of oil and gas processed products.

The Director General shall stipulate product specifications which may be circulated domestically through a Decree of the Director General. Quoted from the page of Directorate General of Oil and Gas, the specified fuel specifications RON 48, RON 88, RON 90, Avtur, kerosin and fuel oil.

In the Decree of the Director General of Oil and Gas (Director General of Oil and Gas) on RON 88, the RON content is at least 88, but not set the maximum standard for RON 88 type.

Contacted separately, the Director General of Oil and Gas Ministry of ESDM Ego Syahrial did not respond to the RON 89 specification test result. Head of Communication, Information and Cooperation Bureau Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Dadan Kusdiana said that in the Director General Decree only regulated minimum RON level. That is, fuel with levels exceeding 88 allowed in the market. However, Dadan did not elaborate on the specification test.

In the Decree of the Director General of Oil and Gas Number 933.K / 10 / DJM.S / 2013, the minimum level of RON at level 88 with no maximum levels. In addition, also set the standard content of sulfur, lead, metals, olefin olefins to benzene from RON 88 type fuel that may be marketed.

Previously, BBM BPH Migas Committee Ibnu Fajar said in the general trading business permit granted by the Directorate General of Oil and Gas, listed what kind of fuel is allowed to sell business entities. Thus, although the Presidential Regulation stipulates that the business entity selling the Premium (RON 88) must have a storage and processing facility, Vivo can still sell Premium (RON 88) even though it does not yet have a refinery.

"What I hear is listed indeed they can sell RON 88," he said.

Bisnis SPBU Makin Semarak

Bisnis bahan bakar minyak di Tanah Air akan semakin kompetitif karena pemain baru yang akan mendirikan stasiun pengisian bahan bakar minyak diproyeksikan kian bertambah.

Saat sudah ada PT Pertamina, Shell Indonesia, Total, dan PT AKR Corporindo Tbk. yang sudah lebih dulu berbisnis di Sektor hilir migas. Kini giliran PT Vivo Energy Indonesia, pemilik stasiun pengisian bahan bakar umum (SPBU) Vivo, yang masuk ke bisnis hilir migas.

SPBU Vivo menjual bahan bakar jenis baru dengan kandungan oktan (research octane number/RON) 89 karena dilarang menjual Premium yang memiliki kandungan oktan 88. Vivo menjual tiga jenis bahan bakar minyak, yaitu Revvo RON 89, Revvo 90, dan Revvo 92.

Corporate Communication PT Vivo Energy Indonesia Maldi Al Jufrie mengatakan bahwa keputusan perusahaan untuk menjual bahan bakar minyak dengan kandungan RON 89 unruk menghindari polemik pasar hilir migas di Indonesia. Selama ini hanya PT Pertamina yang menjual bahan bakar dengan RON 88 atau Premium.

Produk Vivo berupa Revvo RON 89 dijual dengan harga Rp 6.100 per liter lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan Premium Rp 6.550 per liter. Revvo RON 90 yang setara dengan Pertalite dijual dengan harga Rp7.500 per liter sama dengan Pertalite.

Selain itu, Revvo RON 92 (setara dengan Pertamax) dijual dengan harga Rp 8.250 per liter. Saat ini, pemerintah masih mengatur harga Premium dan solar untuk kawasan di luar Jawa, Madura, dan Bali. Sementara itu, bahan bakar minyak (BBM) masuk kategori penugasan bila dijual di wilayah selain Jawa, Madura, dan Bali.

Berdasarkan Peraturan Presiden Nomor 191/2014 tentang Penyediaan, Pendistribusian, dan Harga Jual Eceran BBM, syarat kepemilikan fasilitas pengolahan, penyimpanan, dan pendistribusian BBM agar badan usaha bisa mendapat penugasan, yaitu menjual BBM jenis Premium.

Hingga saat ini, pemerintah baru menugaskan penyediaan dan penyaluran kepada Pertamina. Di sisi lain, Vivo membangun SPBU tidak hanya di Jawa, tetapi juga di Maluku yang rencananya akan dibangun tiga unit. Menurut Maldi, atas persetujuan pemerintah, pihaknya bisa membuat produk baru dengan kadar RON 89 atau lebih tinggi Premium.

"Kami sebenamya tidak ingin terlibat polemik 88 kenapa belum ada penunjukan 88. Oleh karena itu kami Alhamdulillah atas persetujuan pemerintah bisa membuat produk baru Revvo 89,” ujarnya seusai peresmian uji operasional Vivo di Cilangkap, Jakarta Timur, Kamis (26/10).  

DICAMPUR

Untuk memodifikasi kadar RON, Maldi mengaku bahwa pihaknya melakukan pencampuran BBM di Tanjung Priok. Nantinya, produk yang dibawa sudah berupa produk siap jual dengan kadar RON 89. Selain di Cilangkap, Jakarta Timur, SPBU baru lainnya akan dibangun sekitar tujuh unit di Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, dan Tangerang. 

     Terkait dengan mekanisme penetapan harga, Maldi menyebut bahwa pihaknya menjual BBM sesuai dengan harga keekonomian yang bisa berubah sewaktu-waktu.

“Sekarang di storage nantinya bisa kirim langsung. Storage-nya di Priok,” katanya.

Vivo Energy memiliki tiga Lunt penyimpanan BBM di Tanjung Priok Jakarta untuk menampung sementara bahan bakar yang diimpor. Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan mereamikan uji operasional SPBU Vivo karena menetapkan harga bahan bakar minyak yang lebih murah.

Menurutnya, pemerintah memberikan kesempatan kepada pihak swasta untuk berbisnis di lini usaha hilir minyak. Asalkan, tetap mengikuti peraturan yang berlaku.

“Vivo ini kenapa saya sampai datang, ini karena jualnya itu RON-nya 92, 90, dan 89. Yang 89 itu, hari ini dijual diharga Rp 6.100 per liter” ujarnya usai meninjau SPBU Vivo.

Dikutip dan Peraturan Menteri ESDM Nomor 48/2005 tentang Standar dan Mutu (Spesifikasi) Serta Pengawasan BBM, Gas, Bahan Bakar Lain, LPG, LNG, dan Hasil Olahan yang Dipasarkan di Dalam Negeri, Dirjen Migas menetapkan standar mutu produk olahan minyak dan gas.

Direktur Jenderal menetapkan spesifikasi produk yang boleh beredar di dalam negeri melalui Keputusan Direktur Jenderal. Dikutip dari laman Direktorat Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi, spesifikasi BBM yang telah ditetapkan RON 48, RON 88, RON 90, Avtur, kerosin dan minyak bakar.

Dalam Keputusan Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi (Dirjen Migas) tentang RON 88, kadar RON minimal 88, tetapi tidak ditetapkan standar maksimum untuk jenis RON 88. 

Dihubungi terpisah, Dirjen Migas Kementerian ESDM Ego Syahrial tidak merespons tentang hasil uji spesifikasi RON 89. Kepala Biro Komunikasi, Iayanan lnfomiasi dan Kerja Sama Kementerian ESDM Dadan Kusdiana mengatakan bahwa dalam Surat Keputusan Dirjen hanya diatur kadar minimum RON saja.  Artinya, BBM dengan kadar melebihi 88 diperbolehkan beredar dipasar. Namun, Dadan tidak menjelaskan lebih detail mengenai uji spesifikasinya.

Dalam Keputusan Dirjen Migas Nomor 933.K/10/DJM.S/2013, kadar minimal RON di level 88 dengan tanpa kadar maksimum. Selain itu, diatur pula standar kandungan Sulfur, timbal, logam, oksigen olefin hingga benzena dari BBM jenis RON 88 yang boleh dipasarkan.

“Pasti diuji kandungan RONnya. Artinya karena RON minimal 88, jadi 89 itu boleh,” katanya.

Sebelumnya, Komite BBM BPH Migas Ibnu Fajar mengatakan dalam izin usaha niaga umum yang diberikan Direktorat Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi, tercantum jenis BBM apa saja yang diperbolehkan dijual badan usaha. Dengan demikian, kendati pada Peraturan Presiden diatur bahwa badan usaha yang menjual Premium (RON 88) harus memiliki fasilitas penyimpanan dan pengolahan,Vivo tetap bisa menjual Premium (RON 88)  meskipun belum memiliki kilang.

“Yang saya dengar memang tercantum memang mereka boleh jual RON 88,” katanya.

Pertamina Take the Field of Geo Cepu Indonesia

PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina operating in the provinces of Central Java and East Java continues to increase oil and gas production. One of his efforts is to increase the field production of PT Geo Cepu Indonesia's former joint operation contract which is currently in bankruptcy.

After PT Geo Cepu Indonesia went bankrupt, the former KSO field was abandoned since last August. That is why PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field takes over management in September 2017.

"Since the abandonment of KSO Geo Cepu Indonesia in August 2017, the production of only 200 barrels per day and alhamdulillah in the period of October 2017 we have reached above 700 barrels per day," said Heru Irianto, Manager of PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field, Thursday (26/10).

To increase production in the field, Pertamina perform several stages. Scale priority on the largest potential gain of production for treatment, then by turning on the wells that died. In addition, Pertamina cooperates with mining communities to restore wells or state assets previously managed by the population. The year-end target of this field production is 1,080 barrels per day.

"We hope, the result is greater than the target," he said.

Starting from October 24, 2017, Cepu Field's total production realization is above 2,200 barrels per day or about 115% of the average Cepu Field oil production target of 1,862 bph. Gas production, meanwhile, reached 68.7 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd) with a gas sales rate of 42.5 mmscfd.

Pertamina Ambil Lapangan Geo Cepu Indonesia

PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field, anak usaha PT Pertamina yang beroperasi di Provinsi Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur terus meningkatkan produksi migas. Salah satu upayanya adalah meningkatkan produksi lapangan eks kerjasama operasi (KSO) PT Geo Cepu Indonesia yang saat ini dalam pailit. 

Setelah PT Geo Cepu Indonesia pailit, lapangan eks KSO itu terbengkalai sejak Agustus lalu. Itu sebabnya PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field mengambilalih pengelolaan pada September 2017. 

"Sejak ditinggalkan KSO Geo Cepu Indonesia di bulan Agustus 2017, produksi eksisting hanya 200 barel per hari dan alhamdulillah pada periode bulan Oktober 2017 kita sudah mencapai di atas 700 barel per hari," ujar Heru Irianto, Manajer PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 Cepu Field, Kamis (26/10).

Skala prioritas pada potensi terbesar gain produksi untuk perawatan, kemudian dengan menghidupkan sumur-sumur yang mati. Selain itu Pertamina bekerjasama dengan masyarakat penambang untuk mengembalikan sumur-sumur atau aset-aset negara yang sebelumnya dikelola penduduk. Target akhir tahun produksi lapangan ini sebesar 1.080 barel per hari. 

"Kami berharap, hasilnya lebih besar dari target tersebut," katanya. 

Terhitung sejak 24 Oktober 2017, total realisasi produksi Cepu Field di atas 2.200 barel per hari atau sekitar 115% dari target rata-rata produksi minyak Cepu Field setahun sebesar 1.862 bph.

Mansouri Block Acquisition Targeted To Be Completed This Year

PT Pertamina aims to complete the acquisition of a block of oil and gas in Iran, the Mansouri Block this year. The company is currently negotiating the economic factors of this oil and gas block with the Iranian side.

Pertamina will follow an auction held by the Iranian government to be the manager of two blocks at once, Field Ab-Teymour and Mansouri. Both fields are estimated to have oil reserves of up to 5 billion barrels.

Upstream Director of Pertamina Syamsu Alam said, for now, it will focus on completing Mansouri Field acquisition. However, this does not mean that the company is not interested in managing the Ab-Teymour Field. However, the company is still waiting for a response from the Iranian side.

"Ab-Teymour depends on the Iranian Government. But again, we will focus first in Mansouri, "he said in Jakarta, Wednesday (25/10).

He explained that Pertamina's team is currently in Iran for a discussion. Talks with the Iranians have come to the discussion of terms and conditions in the management of oil and gas blocks. If all parties have agreed, then this Mansouri Block contract can be signed. It is optimistic that the acquisition of Mansouri Block can be completed this year.

"Hopefully can be (close / completed) this year," said Alam.

The negotiations on the acquisition of the Mansouri Block can be continued after Iran's government releases a new form of oil and gas contract, the Iranian Petroleum Contract (IPC). According to Alam, the discussions that now take place with the Iranian side have referred to this IPC and already concerning the economy.

In the official website of the National Iranian Oil Company (NICC), it is stated that Iran offers the form of oil and gas contracts with more incentives than the form of buy back agreements applied in the past. Iran offers contract deals through project-by-project negotiations (tailor made models).

The page also mentions, there are five core of the new model of oil and gas contracts in Iran. The new contract allows investors to bring the oil they produce and sell it to the global market. The duration of the contract is also longer, ie from previously seven years to 20-25 years.

Furthermore, investors can negotiate directly with the Iranian side and not limited to auction results only. International investors should also partner with local partners who have been selected by the Iranian government and should not have oil and gas reserves.

Finally, Iran will begin its auction process of oil and gas blocks in March next year. The Iranian government is targeting to sign a new oil and gas block development contract within the next two years.

The country hopes to book an investment commitment of at least US $ 100 billion needed to boost its oil output to more than 1 million barrels per day (bpd). About the auction of oil and gas blocks to be held Iran, Alam said Pertamina will not participate.

"For the other blocks, we have no plans to follow," he said.

Oil and Gas Blocks in Russia In addition to Iran, Pertamina was originally to take two oil and gas blocks in Russia, namely The Northern Tip of Chayvo Field and Russkoye Field. However, the acquisition is canceled because it is not economical anymore. Whereas Pertamina has potential get 35,000 bpd of oil and reserve 200 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Alam said, the acquisition is no longer economical because of taxes imposed by the government on this acquisition. "So we say that for this (oil block), we may have difficulty in closing. So please if they want to do business with others, "he said.

However, instead of these two blocks, it will still look for other oil and gas blocks in Russia. However, he admitted that no oil and gas fields have been identified. It will discuss with Russian oil and gas company Rosneft to find oil and gas field where Pertamina can enter.

In the next year, it will continue the process of adding oil and gas blocks in Iran and Russia. Even Iran has offered another block to Pertamina. Not only that, the company is also studying oil and gas prospects in other countries, namely in Africa and the Middle East. Africa is the choice one of them based on the political conditions in the continent. However, it has not confirmed whether there will be a new oil and gas block that will be acquired next year.

"We want to try Africa and the Middle East," he said.

When Pertamina has oil and gas blocks in several countries. In Iraq, the company owns a stake in West Qurna Field 1. In Algeria, the state-owned oil and gas company holds 65% stake in MLN Field and 16.9% in EMK Field. Meanwhile in Malaysia, the company holds shares ownership in Block K, Kik'eh Block, SN30 Block Block SK309, and Block SK311.

Most recently, Pertamina controls 72.65% of French oil and gas company, Maurel & Prom. Maurel & Prom has oil and gas assets scattered in Gabon, Nigeria, Tanzania, Namibia, Colombia, Canada, Myanmar, Italy, and other countries. However, the main assets that have been produced are in Gabon, Nigeria and Tanzania.

Previously, Pertamina said it would rely on oil and gas production from its overseas assets in the future, with a contribution target of 33 percent of the total production of 2025 or equivalent to 650 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day / boepd. Acquisition abroad is needed to minimize the difference in demand, and domestic supply of oil and gas in the future.

For oil production, Alam said, targeted to reach 822 thousand bpd in 2025, which is 353 thousand bpd from domestic and 469 thousand bpd from abroad. As for gas, it is targeted to increase to 5.71 billion cubic feet per day, ie 4.23 billion cubic feet of domestic and 1.48 billion cubic feet of foreign assets. In the same year, oil demand reached 1.7 million bpd and gas 9.1 billion cubic feet per day. Without acquisitions abroad, the gap between oil and gas supply and demand could be greater.

Akuisisi Blok Mansouri Ditargetkan Rampung Tahun Ini

PT Pertamina menargetkan dapat menyelesaikan akuisisi satu blok migas di Iran, yakni Blok Mansouri, pada tahun ini. Saat ini perseroan sedang menegosiasikan faktor keekonomian blok migas ini dengan pihak Iran.

Pertamina akan mengikuti lelang yang digelar oleh pemerintah Iran untuk menjadi pengelola dua blok sekaligus, Lapangan Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri. Kedua lapangan ini diperkirakan memiliki cadangan minyak mencapai 5 miliar barel.

Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam mengatakan, untuk saat ini, pihaknya akan fokus merampungkan akuisisi Lapangan Mansouri. Meski demikian, hal ini bukan berarti perseroan tidak berminat mengelola Lapangan Ab-Teymour. Hanya saja, perseroan masih menunggu respons dari pihak Iran.

“Ab-Teymour tergantung Pemerintah Iran. Tetapi sekali lagi, kami akan fokus dulu di Mansouri,” kata dia di Jakarta, Rabu (25/ 10).

Dia menjelaskan, Tim Pertamina saat ini sedang berada di Iran untuk berdiskusi. Pembicaraan dengan pihak Iran sudah sampai pada pembahasan terms and condition dalam pengelolaan blok migas. Jika seluruh pihak sudah sepakat, maka kontrak Blok Mansouri ini bisa diteken. Pihaknya optimistis akuisisi Blok Mansouri bisa selesai tahun ini. 

“Semoga bisa (close/selesai) tahun ini,” tutur Alam.

Negosiasi akuisisi Blok Mansouri ini dapat dilanjutkan setelah pemerintah lran merilis bentuk kontrak migas baru, yakni Iranian Petroleum Contract (IPC). Menurut Alam, pembahasan yang kini berIangsung dengan pihak Iran telah mengacu pada IPC ini dan sudah menyangkut keekonomian.

Dalam laman resmi National Iranian Oil Company (NICC), disebutkan bahwa Iran menawarkan bentuk kontrak migas dengan lebih banyak insentif dibandingkan bentuk perjanjian buy back yang diterapkan di masa lalu. Iran menawarkan kesepakatan kontrak melalui negosiasi berdasar proyek per proyek (tailor made models).

Laman itu juga menyebutkan, terdapat lima inti dari model baru kontrak migas di Iran. Kontrak baru ini memungkinkan investor membawa minyak yang dihasilkannya dan menjualnya ke pasar global. Jangka waktu kontrak juga lebih panjang, yakni dari sebelumnya tujuh tahun menjadi 20-25 tahun.

Selanjutnya, investor dapat melakukan negosiasi langsung dengan pihak Iran dan tidak terbatas pada hasil lelang saja. Investor internasional juga wajib bermitra dengan mitra lokal yang telah dipilih pemerintah Iran dan tidak boleh memiliki cadangan migas.

Terakhir, Iran bakal mulai proses lelang blok migas yang dimilikinya pada Maret tahun depan. Pemerintah Iran menargetkan bisa meneken kontrak pengembangan blok migas baru dalam dua tahun ke depan.

Negara tersebut berharap bisa membukukan komitmen investasi setidaknya US$ 100 miliar yang dibutuhkan untuk menggenjot produksi minyaknya menjadi lebih dari 1 juta barel per hari (bph). Soal lelang blok migas yang akan digelar Iran, Alam mengungkapkan Pertamina tidak akan ikut berpartisipasi. 

“Untuk blok yang lain, kami belum ada rencana ikut,” katanya.

Blok Migas di Rusia Selain di Iran, Pertamina sedianya mengambil dua blok migas di Rusia, yakni Lapangan The Northern Tip of Chayvo dan Lapangan Russkoye. Namun, akuisisi batal dilakukan lantaran tidak ekonomis lagi. Padahal Pertamina berpotensi

mendapatkan minyak 35 ribu bph dan cadangan 200 juta barel setara minyak.

Alam sempat mengatakan, akuisisi tidak lagi ekonomis dilakukan lantaran pajak yang dikenakan oleh pemerintah atas akuisisi ini. “Jadi kami sampaikan bahwa untuk (blok migas) yang ini, mungkin kami kesulitan melakukan closing. Sehingga silakan kalau mereka mau melakukan bisnis dengan yang lain,” kata dia.

Meski demikian, sebagai ganti dua blok ini, pihaknya masih akan mencari blok migas lain di Rusia. Namun, diakuinya belum ada lapangan migas yang diidentifikasi. Pihaknya akan diskusi dengan perusahaan migas Rusia, Rosneft, untuk mencari lapangan migas di mana Pertamina bisa masuk.

Pada tahun depan, pihaknya akan melanjutkan proses penambahan blok migas di Iran dan Rusia. Bahkan Iran telah menawarkan satu blok lagi ke Pertamina. Tidak hanya itu, perseroan juga sedang mempelajari prospek migas di negara lain, yakni di Afrika dan Timur Tengah. Afrika menjadi pilihan salah satunya berdasarkan kondisi politik di benua tersebut. Tetapi, pihaknya belum memastikan apakah akan ada blok migas baru yang akan diakuisisi pada tahun depan. 

“Kami mau coba Afrika dan Middle East,” ujarnya.

Saat Pertamina telah memiliki blok migas di beberapa negara. Di Irak, perseroan memiliki saham di Lapangan West Qurna 1. Di Aljazair, perusahaan migas milik negara ini menguasai 65% saham di Lapangan MLN dan 16,9% di Lapangan EMK. Sementara di Malaysia, perseroan memegang kepemilikan saham di Blok K, Blok Kik’eh, Blok SNR Blok SK309, dan Blok SK311.

Yang terbaru, Pertamina menguasai 72,65% saham perusahaan migas Prancis, Maurel & Prom. Maurel & Prom memiliki aset migas yang tersebar di Gabon, Nigeria, Tanzania, Namibia, Kolombia, Kanada, Myanmar, Italia, dan negara lainnya. Namun, aset utamanya yang telah berproduksi yakni di Gabon, Nigeria, dan Tanzania.

Sebelumnya, Pertamina menyatakan akan mengandalkan produksi migas dari aset-asetnya di luar negeri di masa mendatang, dengan target kontribusi mencapai 33% dari total produksi 2025 atau setara dengan 650 ribu barrel oil equivalent per day/boepd. Akuisisi di luar negeri diperlukan untuk memperkecil selisih kebutuhan, dan pasokan migas domestik di masa mendatang.

Untuk produksi minyak, Alam sempat menyebutkan, ditargetkan mencapai 822 ribu bph pada 2025, yakni 353 ribu bph dari dalam negeri dan 469 ribu bph dari luar negeri. Sementara untuk gas, ditargetkan meningkat menjadi 5,71 miliar kaki kubik per hari, yaitu 4,23 miliar kaki kubik dari domestik dan 1,48 miliar kaki kubik dari aset luar negeri. 

     Pada tahun yang sama, kebutuhan minyak mencapai 1,7 juta bph dan gas 9,1 miliar kaki kubik per hari. Tanpa akuisisi di luar negeri, selisih pasokan dan permintaan migas ini bisa lebih besar.

Pertamina Contract Negotiation Block Mansouri

PT Pertamina is negotiating on the Mansouri Block management contract in Iran after it has issued an Iranian Petroleum Contract (IPC) contract.

Upstream Director of Pertamina Syamsu Alam said the team is currently discussing terms and conditions (T & C) in a cooperation contract with the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) on the possibility of mastery of the Mansouri Block.

The Iranian government through the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) is offering Pertamina a proposal to manage two oil fields: Ab-Teymour and Mansouri in a memorandum of understanding signed in 2016.

"For Iran, the Pertamina team is currently there and talking about T & C. If everything has been agreed, after that there will be a signing, "he said when contacted on Wednesday (25/10).

Previously mentioned that to get the two fields, Pertamina compete with other companies such as Lukoil from Russia. Meanwhile, Ab-Teymour and Mansouri's total reserves are estimated at 5 billion barrels.

Both fields are in production stage, which is 48,000 barrels per day (bpd) for Ab-Teymour Square and 54,000 bpd for Mansouri Field. However, the company will only focus on Mansouri first. The reason, the opportunity to get Ab-Teymour, must wait 'green light' or permission from the Government of Iran. Quoted and the official website of NIOC, Iran will auction off 50 working areas with a profit sharing system.

The main point in the contract is, as quoted from the page of Herbert Smith Freehills an international law firm, Iran uses a system of cost recovery in which the cost incurred investors will be returned.

For the exploration period, 4 years is set with 2 year extension. Meanwhile, for the development and production stage is set 20 years.

The government will set production targets, but will provide incentives for investors who can maximize field management. However, it remains unclear whether investors can book reserves in the managed Work Area. Meanwhile, the contractual cooperation contracts, referring to the page because Iran wants to achieve the target of investment of US $ 150 billion that must enter During the next 5 years.

"Depends and the Government of Iran. But again we focus on Mansouri, "he said.

Pertamina Negosiasi Kontrak Blok Mansouri

PT Pertamina sedang melakukan negosiasi tentang kontrak pengelolaan Blok Mansouri di Iran setelah negara itu mengeluarkan kontrak bagi hasil minyak (Iranian Petroleum Contract/IPC).

Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam mengatakan bahwa saat ini timnya sedang melakukan pembahasan syarat-syarat dan ketentuan (terms&conditions/T&C) dalam kontrak kerja sama dengan National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) tentang peluang penguasaan Blok Mansouri.

Pemerintah Iran melalui National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) menawarkan agar Pertamina memasukkan proposal untuk mengelola dua lapangan minyak yakni Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri dalam nota kesepahaman (MOU) yang diteken pada 2016.

“Untuk Iran, saat ini tim Pertamina sedang di sana dan membicarakan mengenai T&C. Kalau semuanya sudah sepakat, setelah itu nanti ada penandatanganan," ujarnya Saat dihubungi, Rabu (25/10).

Sebelumnya disebutkan bahwa untuk mendapatkan dua lapangan tersebut, Pertamina bersaing dengan perusahaan lain salah satunya Lukoil asal Rusia. Adapun, total cadangan Iapangan Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri diperkirakan mencapai 5 miliar barel.

Kedua lapangan tersebut dalam tahap produksi, yakni 48.000 barel per hari (bph) untuk Lapangan Ab-Teymour dan 54.000 bph untuk Lapangan Mansouri. Namun, perseroan hanya akan fokus pada Mansouri lebih dulu. Pasalnya, peluang mendapatkan Ab-Teymour, harus menanti 'lampu hijau' atau ijin dari Pemerintah Iran. Dikutip dan laman resmi NIOC, Iran akan melelang 50 Wilayah kerja dengan sistem kontrak bagi hasil.

Poin utama dalam kontrak kerja sama tersebut, seperti dikutip dari laman Herbert Smith Freehills sebuah firma hukum internasional, Iran menggunakan sistem cost recovery di mana biaya yang dikeluarkan investor akan dikembalikan.

Untuk masa eksplorasi, ditetapkan 4 tahun dengan perpanjangan 2 tahun. Sementara itu, untuk tahap pengembangan dan produksi ditetapkan 20 tahun.

Pemerintah akan menetapkan target produksi, tetapi akan disiapkan insentif bagi investor yang bisa memaksimalkan pengelolaan lapangan. Namun, masih belum jelas apakah investor bisa membukukan cadangan pada Wilayah kerja yang dikelola. Adapun, pembahan kontrak kerja sama, mengacu pada laman itu dikarenakan Iran ingin mencapai target investasi sebesar US$ 150 miliar yang harus masuk Selama 5 tahun ke depan.

“Tergantung dan Pemerintah Iran. Tapi sekali lagi kita fokus di Mansouri,” katanya.
