Oil, gas Projects Expedited to Meet Lifting Target

    The oil and ,gas special task force plans to speed up the approval of development projects in the upstream industry and boost investment in a bid to meet the government’s national lifting target. As of November, there were 28 plans of development (POD), plans of further development (POFD) and put-on-production (POP) proposals approved by the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKK Migas) since the beginning of this year with an estimated total investment value of US$ 2.94 billion.

    Those 28 development projects are expected to increase the country’s oil and gas reserves in the future, with an additional capacity of 142.45 million barrels of oil (MMBO) and 645 billion standard cubic feet (bscf) of gas. Meanwhile, state revenue from the projects is expected to reach $ 6.85 billion. “There are 23 other POD that are still in the pipeline. We expect to approve three out of the 23 next Week [this week] so that 31 approved development projects can be achieved by year-end,” SKK Migas spokesperson Taslim Z. Yunus previously said.

Among the 28 projects, 13 proposals came from the country’s largest oil producer Chevron Pacific Indonesia in a bid to further develop various fields in its Rokan blockin Riau. Meanwhile, 10 proposals came from Pertamina ER an upstream subsidiary of state-owned oil and gas giant Pertamina, to develop various blocks, including the Muara Tanjung Una field in East Kalimantan and Jatibarang field in West Java. The three proposals that are expected to be approved this week come from local firm Bumi Siak Pusako to develop Coastal Plains Pekanbaru block in Siak, Riau. “All of the approved projects this year are expected to be on stream  during the period of 2016 to 2020.

    A POFD tends to be faster because it is already located at a producing field, while the POD will take much longer as it needs to complete the development of production facilities first,” Taslim said. All of the 28 projects so far are estimated to contribute 35.8 percent to the country’s oil and gas reserve replacement ratio (RRR), or the newly discovered receives compared to production. Meanwhile, by taking the other 23 projects in the pipeline into account, the RRR will reach 59.7 percent.

    As of November, Indonesia’s oil and gas lifting figures, or domestic ready-to-sell production, surpassed the original target stated in the revised 2016 state budget, the first time since 2008. At that time, the oil lifting reached 821,800 barrels of oil per day (bopd), slightly higher than this year’s target of 820,000 bopd. Whereas gas lifting reached 6,643 million standard cubic feet of oil per day (mmscfd), surpassing the target of 6,438 mmscfd.

    Such positive results were attributed to the oil lifting from Cepu block in West Java operated by United States oil and gas company ExxonMobil Indonesia. Cepu, which currently produces 185,000 bopd, is the second-largest source of oil in the country, which began operations at the beginning of this year, even though it was initially slated for production in 2008. Moreover, it also aims to increase the investment value in the oil and gas upstream industry to around $ 13 billion in 2017 from this year’s $ 12 billion. Most of the figure will be used for oil and gas production.

    Next yean the government aims to lift 815,000 bopd and 6,439 mmscfd of gas in a bid to collect tax and non-tax revenues from the oil and gas sector of Rp 101.93 trillion ($ 7.5 billion). To meet the target, SKKMigas is putting high hopes on the Sidayu 4V exploration well in the offshore Pangkah block in Gresik, East Java. The recently discovered oil and gas source, operated by Saka Energi Indonesia, is believed to have reserves amounting to a 300 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). Several oil and gas fields are expected to be on stream next year, including the Matindok field in Central Sulawesi with a capacity of 800 bopd and 65 mmscfd and the Jangkrik field in East Kalimantan with a capacity of 200 bopd and 450 mmscfd.

2017, Pertamina to Be More Aggressive

    PT Pertamina is targeting aggressive growth in 2017 compared to 2016. It is characterized by the projected increase in the growth of net profit in 2017 rise 6% to US $ 3.04 billion compared to 2016 prognosis by USSS 2.88 billion. It is supported by the projected increase in revenue surged 15% to US $ 42.59 billion compared to 2016 prognosis of US $ 37.03 billion.

    Commissioner of Pertamina Mr. Abeng said, in 2016, Pertamina has a nice achievement, but shareholders aspiring to be the company's performance is much better again. This is not easy because it is a challenge for Pertamina, "said Tanri after the General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) in the Office of the Minister of SOEs Pertamina.

    GMS led by Deputy for Energy, Logistics, Metro and Tourism Ministry of SOEs Edwin Hidayat Abdullah and the entire board of directors and commissioners. Tauri explained in the GMS approved by all the challenging work plan in 2017 so that it can be better than this year.

    From the upstream side, Pertamina should more aggressively seek to add fields to the reserves, both domestically and abroad. If downstream, all lines must continue to improve efficiency. Pertamina AGM also decided net profit before taxes, depreciation and amortization rise 6% to US $ 7.43 billion from the previous USS 6.98 billion. While 8% EBITDA margin fell from 18.9% to 17.4%. As for capital expenditure (capex) fell 6% to US $ 6.67 billion compared to the prognosis of 2016 amounted to US $ 6.90 billion.

    Chairman of Commission VII of the House of Representatives Gus Irawan Pasaribu appreciate Pertamina's performance during 2016 and aggressive growth projections by 2017. The target is considered realistic for financial performance forecast is not too large. Our concern at the Commission VII Pertamina, growth performance was not by increasing prices or tariffs are a burden on society, but is achieved through increased productivity and efficiency on the other side so that the target can be achieved but it does not impose on the community, "he said.

    According to Gus Irawan, the government and Parliament should support the efforts of Pertamina improve performance, including regulation should provide space for Pertamina could act better. I think the government will support it, because the state-owned Pertamina, Pertamina bigger we want, can grow performance and could increase the contribution to building the country, "he said.

    Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Upstream Oil and Gas Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Indonesia Firlie H Ganinduto Pertamina aggressive growth rate in 2017 is positive despite global crude oil prices are still low. In the upstream sector, Pertamina must increase production in addition to increasing reserves.

    The increase in reserves is obligatory, especially with many oil and gas fields managed by Pertamina already old. Expansion abroad is the right choice for Pertamina. Until the third quarter of 2016, Pertamina oil and gas production reached 646 thousand barrels of oil equivalent / boepd up 12.3 percent over the same period last year. The production consists of oil 309 thousand barrels of oil per day (bpd), up 12% and the same period last year 277 thousand bpd. While gas production rise 13% to 1,953 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of 1.728 MMCSFD.

2017, Pertamina Bakal Makin Agresif

    PT Pertamina menargetkan pertumbuhan agresif pada 2017 dibandingkan 2016. Hal ini ditandai dengan proyeksi peningkatan pertumbuhan Iaba bersih 2017 yang naik 6% menjadi US$ 3,04 miliar dibandingkan prognosa 2016 sebesar USSS 2,88 miliar. Hal ini ditopang proyeksi kenaikan pendapatan yang melonjak 15% menjadi USS 42,59 miliar dibandingkan prognosa 2016 sebesar USS 37,03 miliar.

    Komisaris Utama Pertamina Tanri Abeng mengatakan, pada 2016 pencapaian Pertamina sudah bagus, tetapi pemegang saham memberi aspirasi agar kinerja perusahaan jauh lebih bagus lagi. Ini tidak mudah karena itulah tantangan bagi Pertamina,” ujar Tanri usai Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham (RUPS) Pertamina di Kantor Menteri BUMN.

    RUPS dipimpin Deputi Bidang Usaha Energi, Logistik, Kawasan dan Pariwisata Kementerian BUMN Edwin Hidayat Abdullah dan seluruh direksi dan komisaris Pertamina. Tauri menjelaskan, dalam RUPS tersebut disepakati semua rencana kerja yang menantang pada 2017 sehingga bisa lebih baik dari tahun ini.

    Dari sisi hulu, Pertamina harus lebih agresif mencari ladang untuk bisa menambah cadangan, baik di dalam negeri maupun di luar negeri. Kalau di hilir, semua lini harus terus meningkatkan efisiensi. RUPS Pertamina juga memutuskan laba bersih sebelum pajak, depresiasi dan amortisasi naik 6% menjadi USS 7,43 miliar dari sebelumnya USS 6,98 miliar. Sementara EBITDA Margin turun 8% dari 18,9% menjadi 17,4%. Adapun belanja modal (capital expenditure) turun 6% menjadi USS 6,67 miliar dibandingkan prognosa 2016 sebesar US$ 6,90 miliar.

    Ketua Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Gus Irawan Pasaribu mengapresiasi kinerja Pertamina selama 2016 dan proyeksi pertumbuhan agresif pada 2017. Target tersebut dinilai realistis karena proyeksinya kinerja finansialnya juga tidak terlalu besar. Konsen kami di Komisi VII Pertamina, pertumbuhan kinerja itu jangan dengan cara meningkatkan harga atau tarif yang membebani masyarakat, tapi dicapai melalui peningkatan produktivitas dan efisiensi di sisi lain sehingga target bisa tercapai tapi tidak bebani masyarakat,” katanya.

    Menurut Gus Irawan, pemerintah dan DPR harus mendukung upaya Pertamina meningkatkan kinerja, termasuk regulasi yang harus memberi ruang bagi Pertamina bisa bertindak lebih baik. Saya kira pemerintah akan mendukung, sebab pertamina milik negara, kita ingin Pertamina lebih besar, bisa tumbuh performance dan bisa meningkatkan kontribusi bagi membangun negeri,” katanya.

    Ketua Komite Tetap Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kamar Dagang dan Industri (Kadin) Indonesia Firlie H Ganinduto menilai pertumbuhan agresif Pertamina pada 2017 lebih positif kendati harga minyak mentah dunia masih rendah. Di sektor hulu, Pertamina memang harus meningkatkan produksi selain menambah cadangan.

    Peningkatan cadangan itu wajib hukumnya, apalagi banyak lapangan migas yang dikelola Pertamina sudah berusia tua. Ekspansi ke luar negeri adalah pilihan yang tepat bagi Pertamina. Hingga kuartal III 2016, produksi migas Pertamina mencapai 646 ribu barel setara minyak/boepd naik 12,3 persen dibanding periode yang sama pada tahun lalu. Produksi tersebut terdiri dari minyak 309 ribu barel per hari minyak (bph), naik 12% dan periode yang sama tahun lalu 277 ribu bph. Sementara produksi gas tercatat naik 13% menjadi 1.953 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD) dari 1.728 MMCSFD.

Pertamina Had Appointed to Manage Block Out of Contract

    The role of PT Pertamina as national oil companies (national oil company / NOC) should be expanded to provide an ample opportunity to manage and exploit oil and gas blocks nationwide. Moreover, the new Pertamina contribute 26 percent of the national oil and gas products, much compared to other countries such NOC Petronas, Malaysia has contributed up to 70 percent. The government should place the role and position of Pertamina in accordance with the nature and purpose of its creation by managing oil and gas blocks independently in the homeland, "said Syamsir Abduh, Member of the National Energy Council (DEN).

    According to him, the technical ability Pertamina doubt. In fact, the facts show oil and gas blocks in which the management was taken over by Pertamina, production is much better than the previous operators, such as in the field Ramba. Moreover, the existing regulations, Pertamina was given first rights to manage the block are out of contract. To achieve the vision of independence and national energy security the government should appoint Pertamina in order to manage oil and gas blocks in Indonesia that his contract is up, "said Siregar.

    Komaidi Notonegoro, energy analyst of Reforminer Institute said Pertamina has been shown to be ready. However, due to a matter of business, Pertamina would be more prudent to take over the oil and gas blocks are out of contract. Pertamina should also selectively choose the field that will be taken, should be measured all aspects of readiness, "said Komaidi. After being appointed to manage the Mahakam block start of January 2018 and fully devolved management of the Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), Pertamina expects also be appointed to manage the Sanga-Sanga who is out of contract in August 2018.

    Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) targets this year has been no decision on the contract Sanga-Sanga. The goal is that no investment certainty for operators in the block which has been operating 50 years. Sanga-Sanga participation rights controlled by BP East Kalimantan, 26.25%, 26.25% Lasmo Sanga Sanga, Virginia Indonesia Co. LLC 7.5%, OPICOIL Houston Inc. by 20%, Universe Gas & Oil Company 4.37%, and Virginia International Co LLC 15.63%. PT VICO Indonesia is the operator of Sanga-Sanga. As of June 30, 2016, SKK Migas recorded Sanga-Sanga has contributed lifting or production is ready to sell as many as 18 thousand barrels of oil per day. While the gas lifting as much as 31 thousand BOEPD.

Pertamina Harus Ditunjuk untuk Kelola Blok Habis Kontrak
    Peran PT Pertamina sebagai perusahaan minyak nasional (national oil company/NOC) harus diperluas dengan memberi kesempatan yang luas untuk mengelola dan mengusahakan blok-blok migas nasional. Apalagi Pertamina baru berkontribusi 26 persen dari produk migas nasional, jauh dibandingkan dengan NOC negara lain seperti Petronas, Malaysia yang telah berkontribusi hingga 70 persen. Pemerintah harus menempatkan peran dan posisi Pertamina sesuai dengan hakekat dan tujuan pembentukannya dengan mengelola blok migas secara mandiri di tanah air,” ujar Syamsir Abduh, Anggota Dewan Energi Nasional (DEN).

    Menurut dia, kemampuan teknis Pertamina tidak diragukan. Bahkan, fakta menunjukkan blok migas yang pengelolaannya diambil alih oleh Pertamina, produksinya jauh lebih baik dibandingkan operator sebelumnya, seperti di lapangan Ramba. Apalagi dalam regulasi yang ada, Pertamina diberikan hak pertama untuk bisa mengelola blok yang habis masa kontraknya. Untuk mencapai visi kemandirian dan ketahanan energi nasional pemerintah harus menunjuk Pertamina agar bisa mengelola blok migas di Indonesia yang masa kontraknya sudah habis,” tegas Syamsir.

    Komaidi Notonegoro, pengamat energi dari Reforminer Institute mengatakan Pertamina telah terbukti siap. Namun karena menyangkut masalah bisnis, Pertamina tentu akan lebih hati-hati untuk mengambil alih blok migas yang habis kontraknya. Pertamina perlu juga selektif memilih lapangan yang akan diambil, harus diukur semua aspek kesiapannya,” kata Komaidi. Setelah ditunjuk untuk mengelola Blok Mahakam mulai Januari 2018 dan menyerahkan sepenuhnya pengelolaan Blok Offshore North West Java (ONWJ), Pertamina mengharapkan juga bisa ditunjuk untuk mengelola Blok Sanga-Sanga yang akan habis masa kontraknya pada Agustus 2018.

    Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menargetkan tahun ini sudah ada keputusan tentang kontrak Blok Sanga-Sanga. Tujuannya agar ada kepastian investasi bagi operator di blok yang sudah beroperasi 50 tahun itu. Hak partisipasi Sanga-Sanga dikuasai BP East Kalimantan sebesar 26,25%, Lasmo Sanga Sanga 26,25%, Virginia Indonesia Co LLC 7,5%, OPICOIL Houston Inc sebesar 20%, Universe Gas & Oil Company 4,37%, dan Virginia International Co LLC 15,63%. PT VICO Indonesia tercatat menjadi operator Blok Sanga-Sanga. Per 30 Juni 2016, SKK Migas mencatat Blok Sanga-Sanga telah menyumbang lifting atau produksi siap jual minyak sebanyak 18 ribu barel per hari. Sedangkan lifting gas sebanyak 31 ribu BOEPD.

Exploitation by Pertamina Needs to be Improved

    In order to achieve the vision of independence and national energy security, the role of PT Pertamina as national oil companies (national oil company / NOC) assessed needs to be expanded. The integrated energy SOEs should be given a greater opportunity in the management and exploitation of oil and gas blocks in the country. Currently, this new Pertamina contribute 26% of the national oil and gas products. Contributions are still far below the NOC far other countries, such as Petronas, Malaysia, which have contributed up to 70%.

Meanwhile, gas lifting 31,000 BOEPD. Head of Public Relations SKK Migas Taslim Z Yunus said the contract decision Sanga-Sanga in the hands of the Ministry of Energy. However, Pertamina has the right to request and priority field is out of contract having been djatur regulation.

    Head of Communications, Public Information Service and Cooperation of the Ministry of Energy Sujatmiko said the government will provide a great opportunity for Pertamina to manage oil and gas blocks are out of contract. Pertamina as a state representative in the oil and gas sector according to him would have the support of the state to develop the oil and gas sector.

Kasuri Block Economies Gas Prices US $ 6 per MMBtu

    Until now, gas project in Papua Kasuri Block, which is operated by Genting Oil remains uncertain. Genting Oil yet to make gas sales agreement (GSA). Yet according to the Head of Public Relations (PR) SKK Migas Z.Yunus Taslim, a number of companies are already interested in buying gas from Block Kasuri, such as LG and Ferrostaal. But it has not reached an agreement on the price.

    He said that gas prices could reach Kasuri economics if sold US $ 6 per mmbtu. Thus it is no longer concerned about Genting Oil gas sold in the form of LNG or pipeline gas. Genting's up to it, which is important commercialization okay, not too must FLNG, or there is a petrochemical. So much welcome what's important money is okay, "said Taslim. He stated, SKK Migas and Genting Oil is looking for alternatives in order to sell gas Kasuri Block.

    One of them by renting a floating LNG facility (FLNG) near the beach. This step because the gas from Block Kasuri not be used to supply gas to PT Pupuk Indonesia plant to be built in the area of ​​Bintuni, West Papua. Therefore, the new fertilizer plant to be operational in 2022, while SKK Migas and targeting Genting Oil Kasuri Block gas production in 2019 to come. As a result, gas supplies from Kasuri can not for the fertilizer plant. "We hope that 2019 is already onstream.

    With a target onstream in 2019, Taslim said, SKK Migas targets a plan of development (POD) Block Kasuri later filed in January 2017. "The facility is almost completed, which is not commercial. There had been no heads of agreement (HOA) was," said Taslim. Just so you know, Genting Oil has poured funds recorded an investment of US $ 900 million for the exploitation of drilling in ten wells in Block Kasuri. Based on the drilling results, there are three field proven gas reserves. Production of Block Kasuri is projected to reach 285 MMSCFD.

Harga Keekonomian Gas Blok Kasuri US$ 6 per MMbtu
    Hingga saat ini, proyek gas di Blok Kasuri Papua, yang di operasikan oleh Genting Oil masih terkatung-katung. Genting Oil belum juga melakukan perjanjian jual beli gas (PJBG). Padahal menurut Kepala Hubungan Masyarakat (Humas) SKK Migas Taslim Z.Yunus, sejumlah perusahaan sudah tertarik membeli gas dari Blok Kasuri, seperti LG dan Ferrostaal. Namun memang belum mencapai kesepakatan mengenai harga.

    Dia menyebutkan, harga gas Kasuri bisa mencapai keekonomian jika dijual US$ 6 per mmbtu. Maka dari itu Genting Oil tidak lagi mempermasalahkan gas yang dijual dalam bentuk LNG atau gas pipa. Genting terserah saja, yang penting komersialisasi oke, tidak terlalu harus FLNG, atau ada petrokimia di sana. Jadi lebih welcome mana saja yang penting uangnya oke," kata Taslim. la menyatakan, SKK Migas dan Genting Oil memang tengah mencari alternatif agar bisa menjual gas Blok Kasuri.

    Salah satunya dengan menyewa fasilitas floating LNG (FLNG) di dekat pantai. Langkah ini karena gas dari Blok Kasuri tidak jadi digunakan untuk menyuplai gas bagi pabrik PT Pupuk Indonesia yang akan dibangun di kawasan Bintuni, Papua Barat. Sebab, pabrik pupuk tersebut baru bisa beroperasi pada tahun 2022, sementara SKK Migas dan Genting Oil menargetkan produksi gas di Blok Kasuri pada tahun 2019 mendatang. Alhasil, pasokan gas dari Kasuri tidak bisa untuk pabrik pupuk. "Kami berharap, tahun 2019 sudah onstream.

    Dengan target onstream tahun 2019, Taslim menyebutkan, SKK Migas menargetkan plan of development (POD) Blok Kasuri diajukan Januari 2017 nanti. "Fasilitasnya sudah hampir selesai, yang belum komersialnya. Paling tidak sudah ada head of agreement (HOA)-nya," kata Taslim. Asal tahu saja, Genting Oil tercatat telah menggelontorkan dana investasi sebesar US$ 900 juta untuk kegiatan eksploitasi pengeboran di sepuluh sumur yang ada di Blok Kasuri. Berdasarkan hasil pengeboran tersebut terdapat tiga lapangan yang terbukti memiliki cadangan gas. Produksi dari Blok Kasuri diproyeksikan mencapai 285 mmscfd.

Long Road Energy Security

      With the remaining reserves of 3 billion barrels of crude oil in Indonesia is estimated to run out in less than 12 years. The discovery of new reserves becomes more difficult as the location of the sea Iokasi to need a big capital and high technology. The success rate of less than 50 percent.
    Oil prices tumbled more than US $ 100 a barrel to currently around 50 dollars per barrel, even early in 2016 had less than 30 US dollars, giving a heavy blow to the upstream oil and gas. There has been no good news in Indonesia's energy sector. Some things touted as progress still needs proof. Statement quoted one energy analyst, Indonesia was on the verge of an energy crisis, but the crisis awareness is low.

    Matter of energy security, some efforts have been made by the government and PT Pertamina as the only state that is responsible for the procurement of energy, especially oil and gas in Indonesia. The government has issued a number of policies, one of which is quite popular is the policy of the price of fuel oil (BBM). Efforts to build a new refinery through assignment to Pertamina already done. Likewise, the increased capacity and complexity of the refinery has been done.

    Currently, national fuel consumption of around 1.6 million barrels per day. The ability to produce fuel only about 800,000 barrels per day so the rest come from imports. Pertamina is committed to raise the capacity of the refinery that can produce fuel to 2 million barrels per day by no later than 2025. That is, Indonesia in the future no longer need to import fuel, enough crude oil only. What about natural gas? Compared with oil that never reached the target in recent years, gas production is ready for sale is still better.

    Data from SKK Migas per 30 November 2016, the target of 6.4 billion cubic feet per day (BCFD) achieved 6.6 BCFD. Chart for domestic consumption compared to exports is also larger: 55 percent versus 45 percent. However, when viewed more discussion about energy security, diversification and conversion program involving natural gas virtually stalled. The Government's intention to expand the program of kerosene to LPG 3 kilograms in Papua, Maluku and Nusa Tenggara, good.

    Model closed distribution is still limited test Try Tarakan, North Kalimantan. Discourse of this model has been repeated since many years ago, but the slow realization. The case of mixing LPG gas subsidy due to the price disparity with non-subsidized wide has often occurs. That is, around Rp 200 trillion in subsidies to LPG 3 kilograms since 2009 until 2016 frequently leak alias not on target, Diversification, Kinship with the conversion, energy diversification policy in terms of gas consumption for transportation is also no significant progress.

    This policy is actually good, which is to reduce oil dependency and replace it with gas to fuel vehicles. Data from the Association of CNG (compressed natural gas) Indonesia, from 8 gas refueling stations (SPBGs) in Jakarta, only 2 stations to survive. The rest did not continue due to the sale of gas for vehicles uneconomical, in addition to lower demand figures. Pertamina even mention there are currently 33 SPBGs already built, but can not be operated further due to a number of things, namely licensing issues.

    Slowing down of this program can be seen from the data ReforMiner Institute. In 2000, there were approximately 3,000 natural gas vehicles. The numbers dropped sharply to about 300 units in 2012. In the end, this sector is necessary seriousness to implement policies that have been compiled. Pata existing roads, planning documents already stacked, supporting policies have been repeatedly born, live consistency of implementation alone, No less important is the leadership factor. Do not forget, the development of renewable energy should still be carried out in earnest. Later, fossil energy will run out and we certainly would stutter when renewable energy has stalled.

Jalan Panjang Ketahanan Energi



     Dengan cadangan tersisa 3 miliar barrel minyak mentah di Indonesia diperkirakan habis dalam waktu kurang dari 12 tahun. Penemuan cadangan baru semakin sulit seiring letak Iokasi yang di laut hingga butuh modal besar dan teknologi tinggi. Tingkat keberhasilan kurang dari 50 persen.

    Harga minyak yang anjlok lebih dari 100 dollar AS per barrel menjadi saat ini sekitar 50 dollar AS per barrel, bahkan awal 2016 sempat kurang dari 30 dollar AS, memberi pukulan berat bagi industri hulu minyak dan gas bumi. Belum ada kabar baik sektor energi di Indonesia. Sejumlah hal yang disebut-sebut sebagai kemajuan masih perlu pembuktian. Mengutip salah satu pernyataan pengamat energi, Indonesia berada di ambang krisis energi, tetapi kesadaran krisisnya rendah.

    Soal ketahanan energi, beberapa usaha sudah dilakukan pemerintah dan PT Pertamina sebagai satu-satunya  BUMN yang bertanggung jawab dalam hal pengadaan energi, khususnya minyak dan gas bumi di Indonesia. Pemerintah sudah menerbitkan sejumlah kebijakan, salah satunya yang cuktip populer adalah kebijakan satu harga bahan bakar minyak (BBM). Upaya membangun kilang baru lewat penugasan kepada Pertamina sudah dilakukan. Begitu pula peningkatan kapasitas dan kompleksitas kilang sudah dilakukan.
   
    Saat ini, konsumsi BBM nasional sekitar 1,6 juta barrel per hari. Kemampuan memproduksi BBM hanya sekitar 800.000 barrel per hari sehingga sisanya didapat dari impor. Pertamina berkomitmen menaikkan kapasitas kilangnya sehingga dapat memproduksi BBM menjadi 2 juta barrel per hari pada selambatnya 2025. Artinya, Indonesia pada masa mendatang tak perlu lagi impor BBM, cukup minyak mentahnya saja. Bagaimana dengan gas bumi? Dibandingkan dengan minyak yang tidak pernah mencapai target dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, produksi gas siap jual masih lebih baik.

    Data dari SKK Migas per 30 November 2016, target 6,4 miliar kaki kubik per hari (BCFD) berhasil dicapai 6,6 BCFD. Bagan untuk kebutuhan domestik dibandingkan untuk ekspor juga lebih besar, yaitu 55 persen berbanding 45 persen. Namun, apabila melihat lagi bahasan soal ketahanan energi, program diversifikasi dan konversi yang melibatkan gas bumi boleh dikata jalan di tempat. Niat pemerintah memperluas program konversi minyak tanah ke elpiji 3 kilogram di Papua, Maluku, dan Nusa Tenggara, bagus.

    Model pendistribusian tertutup saat ini masih sebatas uji Coba di Tarakan, Kalimantan Utara. Wacana model ini sudah diulang sejak bertahun-tahun lalu, tetapi realisasinya lamban. Kasus pencampuran elpiji akibat disparitas harga gas subsidi dengan nonsubsidi yang lebar sudah kerap terjadi. Artinya, sekitar Rp 200 triliun subsidi untuk elpiji 3 kilogram ini sejak 2009 sampai 2016 sering bocor alias tak tepat sasaran, Diversifikasi , Senasib dengan konversi, kebijakan diversifikasi energi dalam hal pemakaian gas untuk transportasi juga belum ada kemajuan berarti.

    Kebijakan ini sejatinya baik, yaitu mengurangi ketergantungan minyak dan menggantinya dengan gas untuk bahan bakar kendaraan. Data dari Asosiasi Perusahaan CNG (gas alam terkompresi) Indonesia, dari 8 stasiun pengisian bahan bakar gas (SPBG) di DKI Jakarta, hanya 2 stasiun yang bertahan. Sisanya tak berlanjut lantaran penjualan gas untuk kendaraan tidak ekonomis, di samping angka permintaannya rendah. Pertamina bahkan menyébut saat ini ada 33 SPBG yang sudah dibangun, tetapi belum bisa dioperasikan lantaran terganjal sejumlah hal, yaitu masalah perizinan.

    Lesunya program ini bisa dilihat dari data ReforMiner Institute. Pada 2000, tercatat ada sekitar 3.000 kendaraan berbahan bakar gas. Angkanya merosot tajam menjadi sekitar 300 unit saja pada 2012. Pada akhimya, sektor ini memang perlu kesungguhan melaksanakan kebijakan yang sudah disusun. Pata jalan sudah ada, dokumen perencanaan sudah bertumpuk-tumpuk, kebijakan pendukung sudah berulang-ulang kali lahir, tinggal konsistensi pelaksanaannya saja, Yang tak kalah penting adalah faktor kepemimpinannya. Jangan lupa, pengembangan energi terbarukan tetap harus dijalankan dengan sungguh-sungguh. Kelak, energi fosil pasti bakal habis dan kita akan tergagap-gagap apabila energi terbarukan jalan di tempat.

Boost oil and gas reserves

    The decline in production and reserves of oil and gas continues to haunt Indonesia. Approval 28 field development plan be good news. As reported to the approval given daily throughout 2016, Indonesia's oil reserves could raise as much as 142.45 million barrels and gas reserves of 645 billion standard cubic feet. In recent years, we are continuously faced with the shrinkage in production due to the lack of discovery of new reserves, either for oil or gas, thus threatening energy security.

    Although the number of courts continues to rise, oil reserves continue to decline, reaching its lowest point of 3.6 billion barrels in the first half of 2016, the lowest since 2000. This was due to lack of investment in upstream oil and gas industry and the lack of discovery of new oil reserves on a large scale , low price of oil, which fell from 140 dollars per barrel in 2008 to below 30 dollars per barrel in 2014, making an investment in the upstream oil and gas sector continues to experience sluggishness in recent years.

    Even if there is an increase in the investment plan, it's not always followed by an increase in drilling activity in the field. The lack of impact on the continued exploration of oil and gas reserves decline. Some time ago the Minister warned, without any new findings, the oil reserves will be depleted in 12 years (2028) and gas reserves will be depleted in 30 years (2046). Own oil production continued to decline last 20 years, from 1.6 million barrels per day (1997) to less than half.

    Indonesia a net importer of oil since 2008. Approval of new field development plan is promising reserve additions. The improvement in world oil prices is expected to also add to the excitement of investment in upstream oil and gas sector in the next year. However, this can only be achieved if the climate is also conducive. Many of the factors that make the condition feared 2017 would not change much from before. One of them, the low budget prepared cooperation contract (PSC). Some of the contractors also new players are inexperienced.

    Not a bit of oil and gas contracts that are ending soon concession period, is also unknown fate of the continuation of the contract. Technological issues become another challenge because most basins are yet to be explored in the Frontier Region. The government also should be firm to the contractors who do not perform exploration activities in the concession controlled. Many people also associate low investment in upstream oil and gas with less conducive climate, especially related to the licensing and incentives.

    In terms of the regulatory and legal framework, unclear the fate of the revision of the Oil and Gas Law No. 22 Year 2001 is also a barrier. In addition to boosting investment upstream and downstream oil and gas, renewable alternative energy development should continue to be encouraged because we can not continue to rely on oil and gas.

Menggenjot Cadangan Migas

    Penurunan produksi dan cadangan minyak dan gas terus membayangi Indonesia. Persetujuan 28 rencana pengembangan lapangan menjadi kabar baik. Seperti dilaporkan harian   persetujuan yang diberikan sepanjang 2016 tersebut berpotensi menaikkan cadangan minyak Indonesia sebanyak 142,45 juta barrel dan cadangan gas 645 miliar standar kaki kubik. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, kita terus dihadapkan pada penyusutan produksi akibat minimnya penemuan cadangan baru, baik minyak maupun gas, sehingga mengancam ketahanan energi.

    Meski jumlah lapangan terus meningkat, cadangan minyak terus mengalami penurunan, mencapai titik terendah 3,6 miliar barrel pada semester I-2016, terendah sejak tahun 2000. Hal itu disebabkan minimnya investasi di industri hulu migas dan tak adanya temuan cadangan minyak baru dalam skala besar, Rendahnya harga minyak dunia, yang anjlok dari 140 dollar AS per barrel pada 2008 menjadi di bawah 30 dollar AS per barrel pada 2014, membuat investasi di sektor hulu migas terus mengalami kelesuan beberapa tahun terakhir.

    Kalaupun terjadi peningkatan rencana investasi, hal ltu tidak selalu diikuti oleh peningkatan kegiatan pengeboran di lapangan. Minimnya eksplorasi berdampak pada terus berkurangnya cadangan migas. Beberapa waktu lalu Menteri ESDM mengingatkan, tanpa adanya temuan baru, cadangan minyak akan habis dalam 12 tahun (2028) dan cadangan gas akan habis dalam 30 tahun (2046). Produksi minyak sendiri terus menurun 20 tahun terakhir, dari 1,6 juta barrel per hari (1997) menjadi kurang dari separuhnya.

    Indonesia importir neto minyak sejak 2008. Persetujuan rencana pengembangan lapangan baru memang menjanjikan penambahan cadangan. Membaiknya harga minyak dunia diharapkan juga menambah gairah investasi di sektor hulu migas pada tahun depan. Namun, ini hanya bisa terwujud jika iklim juga kondusif. Banyak faktor yang membuat kondisi 2017 dikhawatirkan belum akan banyak berubah dari sebelumnya. Salah satunya, rendahnya anggaran yang disiapkan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS). Sebagian kontraktor juga pemain baru yang belum berpengalaman.

    Tidak sedikit kontrak migas yang segera berakhir masa konsesinya, juga belum diketahui nasib kelanjutan kontraknya. Isu teknologi menjadi tantangan lain mengingat sebagian cekungan yang belum dieksplorasi berada di Wilayah Frontier. Pemerintah juga harus tegas kepada kontraktor yang belum melakukan aktivitas eksplorasi di wilayah konsesi yang dikuasai. Banyak kalangan juga mengaitkan rendahnya investasi di hulu migas dengan iklim yang kurang kondusif terutama terkait perizinan dan insentif.

     Dari sisi regulasi dan payung hukum, ketidak jelasan nasib revisi UU Migas Nomor 22 Tahun 2001 juga menjadi penghambat. Selain menggenjot investasi hulu-hilir migas, pengembangan energi alternatif terbarukan harus terus digalakkan karena kita tak bisa terus bertumpu pada migas.

Indonesia Should Start Build Infrastructure

    Energy analyst, Marwan Batubara assess if Indonesia is to switch to the management of oil energy gas energy to the Indonesia should start by building the first energy infrastructure of the gas. Marwan explained, the discourse of transition from an energy source to oil gas energy sources has become an old issue. However, realization of this discourse is not as fast as originally discourse.

     He saw, if Indonesia is committed to switch, it requires a strong infrastructure for support this plan. , There must be a clear scheme. First wake infrastructure. Whether to use a pipeline or LNG. Not only that, for example, starts with small things, ie transport it must be built SPBGs, "said Marwan. Marwan explained, when the gas energy use to be developed means there needs to be a culture which was also built in the community.

      Marwan explained that culture could be created by making public no longer dependent on oil energy sources. General fuel Filling stations (gas stations) propagated. And people should also be given a guarantee that the supply is safe. also the price should be 30 per cent below the fuel so that people also want to move on, "said Marwan.

    He saw the potential for very large gas energy. According to the present 40 per cent of the existing gas production is exported abroad. Opportunities sources of gas also much remains unexplored. East Natuna. In Masala. There are huge reserves. We just figure out how to distribute it. Well starting from building refineries refinery in the vicinity of the purpose of consumption, "said Marwan. Meanwhile, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) continues to expand its network of natural gas in various regions to build a 195 km pipeline in 2016.

Indonesia Harus Mulai Bangun Infrastruktur

    Pengamat energi, Marwan Batubara menilai jika Indonesia hendak beralih ke pengelolaan dari energi minyak ke energi gas maka Indonesia hams memulai dengan membangun terlebih dahulu infrastruktur energi gas tersebut. Marwan menjelaskan, wacana peralihan dari sumber energi minyak ke sumber energi gas sudah menjadi isu lama. Namun, realisasi akan wacana ini tak secepat wacana awalnya.

     Ia melihat, jika memang Indonesia berkomitmen untuk beralih, maka diperlukan infrastruktur yang kuat untuk mendukung rencana ini. , Harus ada skema yang jelas. Bangun dulu infrastrukturnya. Apakah akan menggunakan pipa atau LNG. Tak hanya itu, misal dimulai dari hal kecil, yaitu transportasi maka harus dibangun SPBG," ujar Marwan. Marwan menjelaskan, ketika penggunaan energi gas hendak dikembangkan berarti perlu ada budaya yang juga dibangun di masyarakat.

      Marwan menjelaskan, budaya tersebut bisa diciptakan dengan membuat masyarakat tak lagi bergantung pada sumber energi minyak. Stasiun Pengisian Bahan Bakar Umum (SPBU) diperbanyak. Dan masyarakat juga harus diberikan jaminan bahwa pasokan aman. Selain itu harganya harus 30 persen dibawah bahan bakar minyak agar masyarakat juga mau beralih," ujar Marwan.

    Ia melihat potensi energi gas sangatlah besar. Menurutnya hingga saat ini 40 persen dari produksi gas yang ada masih diekspor ke luar negeri. Peluang sumber sumber gas juga masih banyak yang belum dieksplore. Di East Natuna. Di Masala. Ada cadangan yang sangat besar. Kita tinggal memikirkan bagaimana caranya mendistribusikan ini. Nah dimulai dari membangun kilang kilang di sekitar daerah tujuan konsumsi," ujar Marwan. Sementara itu, PT Perusahaan Gas Negara  (PGN) terus memperluas jaringan gas bumi di berbagai daerah dengan membangun pipa sepanjang 195 km pada 2016.

Petrochemical Integrated Gas Fields

    Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) IGN Wiratmaja say, gas field development still faces many challenges. From the upstream side as a gas pipeline infrastructure or regasification facilities are not ready. On the downstream side, he said, yet many buyers are ready to absorb gas. According to him, the government encourages the gas can be utilized to enhance the petrochemical industry. This is in accordance with the plan in the Ministry of Industry to make an industrial area in Bintuni Bay, Papua.

    The government plans to build a methanol plant with a capacity of 1 million tonnes worth US $ 900 million. The plant produced the final product such as polyethylene and polypropylene, which is still imported about 50% of total demand in the country. The government is promoting the use of integrated petrochemical complex. He admits, be some commercial factors often become barriers to the development of domestic gas.

    Approval of the field development plan (plan of development / PoD) an oil and gas field will take some time due to commercial factors that constrained because it is difficult to get prospective buyers. not finished. As a development plan or PoD l Block Kasuri, Papua, which until now could not be approved by the Minister for buyers that are not ready to absorb gas from oil and gas blocks operated by Genting Oil Kasuri Pte Ltd.

    Chief Spokesman Special Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) Taslim Z. Yunus said Kasuri Block is still looking for potential buyers of gas. Previously, SKK Migas will give you the option of exchange or swap between Kasuri and gas from Tangguh Train lll. However, it failed to do because of a petrochemical plant to be built by PT Pupuk Indonesia completed in 2022 or later than scheduled Kasuri first gas production in 2019.

    He mentioned, there are other options that gas buyers Ferrostaal that will be used for petrochemical raw materials and hire a floating gas liquefaction facilities. With a selling price of US $ 6 per MMBtu, he said, there has been no commitment from the buyer. As a result, approval Kasuri Block PoD I can not be completed in this year. "Buyers [gas] wrote unclear. He estimates, POD 1 Kasuri approved by the Minister of Energy and Mineral lgnasius Jonan January 2017. Kasuri Block is projected to produce 285 MMSCFD gas from the investment of US $ 900 million. Masela are still facing problems.

    In another development, the Coordinating Minister for maritime Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan said, from several points into the discussion, there are two things that have not been agreed between Inpex and the government to develop the Abadi field, Masela in Maluku. According to him, the demand for replacement operator ten-year contract term that has been used to study the construction of refineries Floating Liquefied Natural Gas / FLNG as well as increase the production capacity of 7.5 million tonnes per annum / mtpa to 9.5 mtpa is still under discussion. "Regarding Masela, they [Inpex] asked for 10 years, but we see a realistic figure is seven years.

    In addition, the related costs incurred during the study period FLNG worth US $ 1.2 billion, according to Luhut, they may be returned through cost recovery. However, he cited the return would not be in accordance with the proposed nominal having to go through the audit process first. "Regarding cost recovery they requested US $ 1.2 billion, subject to audit our responsibility. We need fairness also about it.

    Jonan lgnasius Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources said it has provided answers on several points proposed Inpex project will be run in accordance with the economies of scale. According to the former Minister of Transportation, the government has insisted that not all the points you want Inpex be granted. Some of the points that is expected to create economies of scale projects are on the increase in production capacity from 7.5 mtpa to 9.5 mtpa, suspension of the contract for ten years has been used to conduct a study for an offshore plant.

    Inpex also requested the ratio of return on investment (internal rate of return / IRR) of 15%, return on operating costs since the contract was signed in 1998, help accelerate the licensing process so that the project is progressing on schedule.

Lapangan Gas Terintegrasi Petrokimia

    Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) IGN Wiratmaja mengatakan, pengembangan lapangan gas masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan. Dari sisi hulu seperti infrastruktur pipa gas atau fasilitas regasifikasi belum siap. Di sisi hilir, lanjutnya, belum banyak pembeli yang siap menyerap gas. Menurutnya, pemerintah mendorong agar gas dapat dimanfaatkan untuk meningkatkan industri petrokimia. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan rencana di Kementerian Perindustrian untuk membuat kawasan industri di Teluk Bintuni, Papua.

     Pemerintah berencana membangun pabrik metanol dengan kapasitas 1 juta ton senilai US$ 900  juta. Pabrik tersebut memproduksi produk akhir seperti polietilena dan polipropilena yang saat ini masih diimpor sekitar 50% dari total kebutuhan di Tanah Air. Pemerintah sedang mendorong pemanfaatan untuk komplek petrokimia terintegrasi. Dia mengakui, beberap faktor komersial kerap menjadi hambatan pengembangan gas di dalam negeri.

    Persetujuan rencana pengembangan lapangan (plan of development/PoD) suatu lapangan minyak dan gas bumi pun membutuhkan waktu lama karena faktor komersial yang terkendala karena sulit mendapatkan calon pembeli. belum terselesaikan. Seperti rencana pengembangan atau PoD l Blok Kasuri, Papua yang hingga saat ini belum bisa disetujui oleh Menteri ESDM karena belum memperoleh pembeli yang siap menyerap gas dari blok migas yang di operasikan oleh Genting Oil Kasuri Pte  Ltd.

    Kepala Juru Bicara Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Taslim Z. Yunus mengatakan, Blok Kasuri hingga saat ini masih mencari calon pembeli gas. Sebelumnya, SKK Migas akan memberikan opsi tukar atau swap antara gas dari Kasuri dan Tangguh Train lll. Namun, hal itu urung dilakukan karena pabrik petrokimia yang akan dibangun oleh PT Pupuk Indonesia rampung 2022 atau lebih lambat dari jadwal produksi gas pertama Kasuri pada 2019.

    Dia menyebut, ada opsi lain pembeli gas yakni Ferrostaal yang akan digunakan untuk bahan baku petrokimia dan menyewa fasilitas pencairan gas terapung. Dengan harga jual US$ 6 per MMBtu, dia menuturkan, belum terdapat komitmen dari pembeli. Alhasil, persetujuan PoD I Blok Kasuri belum bisa dirampungkan pada tahun ini. “Pembeli [gas] aja belum jelas. Dia memperkirakan, POD 1 Kasuri mendapat persetujuan Menteri ESDM lgnasius Jonan pada Januari 2017. Blok Kasuri diproyeksikan akan menghasilkan gas 285 MMscfd dari investasi senilai US$ 900 juta.  Blok Masela juga masih menghadapi persoalan.

    Dalam perkembangan lain, Menteri Koordinator Bidang Kemaritiman Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan mengatakan, dari beberapa poin yang menjadi pembahasan, masih terdapat dua hal yang belum disepakati antara Inpex dan pemerintah untuk mengembangkan Lapangan Abadi, Masela di Maluku. Menurutnya, permintaan operator untuk penggantian masa kontrak sepuluh tahun yang telah digunakan untuk melakukan kajian pembangunan kilang Floating Liquefied Natural Gas/FLNG serta menambah kapasitas produksi dari 7,5 million ton per annum/mtpa menjadi 9,5 mtpa masih dalam pembahasan. “Mengenai Masela, mereka [Inpex] minta 10 tahun, tetapi kami melihat angka realistis adalah tujuh tahun.

     Selain itu, terkait biaya yang telah dikeluarkan selama masa kajian FLNG senilai US$1,2 miliar, menurut Luhut, masih mungkin dikembalikan melalui cost recovery. Namun, dia menyebut pengembalian tak akan sesuai dengan nominal yang diajukan karena harus melalui proses audit terlebih dahulu. “Mengenai cost recovery yang mereka minta US$ 1,2 miliar, kami jawab subyek kepada audit. Kami harus fairness juga mengenai hal itu.

    Menteri ESDM lgnasius Jonan mengatakan, pihaknya telah memberikan jawaban terkait beberapa poin yang diusulkan Inpex agar proyek bisa berjalan sesuai dengan skala keekonomian. Menurut mantan Menteri Perhubungan itu, pemerintah telah menegaskan bahwa tidak semua poin yang diinginkan Inpex dapat dikabulkan. Beberapa poin yang diharapkan bisa membuat proyek berjalan sesuai skala ekonomi yakni peningkatan kapasitas produksi dari 7,5 mtpa menjadi 9,5 mtpa, penangguhan masa kontrak selama sepuluh tahun yang telah digunakan untuk melakukan kajian pembangunan kilang terapung.

     Inpex juga meminta rasio pengembalian investasi (internal rate of return/IRR) sebesar 15%, pengembalian biaya operasi sejak masa kontrak diteken pada 1998, bantuan percepatan proses perizinan agar proyek berjalan sesuai jadwal.
