Realization Still Far from Target

Financial problems are the main obstacle in realizing the upstream oil and gas upstream target of 2017, which until the beginning of October was only US $ 6.74 billion from US $ 12.29 billion.

Head of Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Amien Sunaryadi said the problem not only affects small companies but also large companies, primarily for exploration activities.

"After the WP & B [work plan & budget] in September there are many that are not realized because there are many who are experiencing financial difficulties," he said after attending Exposure of Upstream Oil and Gas Performance Quarter III / 2017, Friday (27/10) .

As for activities in the production work area, capital expenditure targets are not achieved due to procurement factors. That is, as happened on the Madura MBH project.

Based on data from SKK Migas as of October 5, 2017, the realization of upstream oil and gas investment reached US $ 6.74 billion with US $ 6.18 billion of which came from the exploitation work area and US $ 560 million from the exploration work area. In fact, the target to be achieved for total upstream investment during the year is US $ 12.29 billion, referring to the 2017 revised work plan and budget (WP & B).

For investment from the production work area the target is US $ 11.42 billion and exploration of US $ 870 million. Throughout 2017, 2D seismic survey activities have been undertaken in 4 activities with an area of ​​3,929 square kilometers (km2) of 28 and an area of ​​10,338 km2. Meanwhile, for SD seismic survey activities, there are 6 activities with an area of ​​2199 km2 of 17 activities plan and an area of ​​6,151 km2.

It is estimated that by the end of the year, 11 out of 2D and 3D seismic survey activities will be realized. For the current exploration drilling has been realized 40 wells from the target of 44 wells. Meanwhile, it is projected that until the end of the year the drilling target will be achieved.

For development drilling, 128 wells of 215 wells were realized. On the other hand, the realization of work over 605 wells from 926 wells and until the end of 2017 will reach 925 wells.

LIFTING SAFE

Unlike capital expenditure, the projected achievement of ready-to-sell production or oil and gas lifting is even better. According to Amien, achievement of lifting will exceed the achievement of investment.

The lifting until September 30, 2017, amounted to 797,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil from the target of 815,000 bpd and gas 6,367 mmsfd per day (MMscfd) and the target of 6,440 MMscfd refers to APBN 2017. For the achievement of oil lifting reaches 98% and gas 99%.

Amien said, if the realization of oil and gas lifting missed from the target, its achievement will be in the range of 99%. There are several projects expected to increase oil production by 2017 with a total of 705 bpd from West Madura Offshore Block of 105 bph and Rokan Block of 600 bph.

Realisasi Masih Jauh dari Target

Permasalahan keuangan menjadi kendala utama dalam merealisasikan target investasi hulu minyak dan gas bumi 2017 yang hingga awal oktober hanya tercapai US$ 6,74 miliar dari yang ditetaplan sebesar US$ 12,29 miliar.

Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Amien Sunaryadi mengatakan masalah ini tidak hanya berdampak pada perusahaan kecil tetapi juga perusahaan besar, utamanya untuk kegiatan eksplorasi.

“Setelah di WP&B [work plan & budget] bulan September ternyata ada banyak yang tidak terealisasi karena ternyata ada banyak yang mengalami kesulitan keuangan,” ujarnya usai menghadiri Paparan Capaian Kinerja Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kuartal III/2017, Jumat (27/ 10).

Adapun untuk kegiatan di wilayah kerja produksi, target belanja modal tidak tercapai karena faktor pengadaan. Hal itu, seperti yang terjadi pada proyek Madura MBH. 

Dari data SKK Migas per 5 Oktober 2017, realisasi investasi hulu migas tercapai US$ 6,74 miliar dengan US$ 6,18 miliar di antaranya berasal dari wilayah kerja eksploitasi dan US$ 560 juta dari wilayah kerja eksplorasi. Padahal, target yang harus dicapai untuk total investasi hulu sepanjang tahun ini adalah sebesar US$ 12,29 miliar mengacu pada rencana kerja dan anggaran (WP&B) revisi 2017.

Untuk investasi dari wilayah kerja produksi targetnya sebesar US$ 11,42 miliar dan eksplorasi US$ 870 juta. Sepanjang 2017, telah tercapai kegiatan survei seismik 2D sebanyak 4 kegiatan dengan luas 3.929 kilometer persegi (km2) dari 28 dan luas 10.338 km2. Sementara itu, untuk kegiatan survey seismik SD, terdapat 6 kegiatan dengan luas 2.199 km2 dari rencana 17 kegiatan dan luasnya 6.151 km2.

Diperkirakan hingga akhir tahun akan terealisasi 11 kegiatan survey seismik 2D dan 3D. Untuk pengeboran eksplorasi saat ini sudah terealisasi 40 sumur dari target 44 sumur.  Adapun, diproyeksikan hingga akhir tahun target pengeboran akan tercapai.

Untuk pengeboran pengembangan, terealisasi sebanyak 128 sumur dari 215 sumur. Di sisi lain, realisasi kerja ulang (work over) sebanyak 605 sumur dari 926 sumur dan hingga akhir 2017 akan tercapai 925 sumur.

LIFTING AMAN

Berbeda dengan belanja modal, proyeksi pencapaian produksi siap jual atau lifting minyak dan gas bumi justru lebih baik. Menurut Amien, pencapaian lifting akan melampaui pencapaian investasi.

Adapun, realisasi lifting hingga 30 September 2017, sebesar 797.000 barel per hari (bph) minyak dari target 815.000 bph dan gas 6.367 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd) dan target 6.440 MMscfd mengacu pada APBN 2017. Untuk capaian lifting minyak mencapai 98% dan gas 99%.

Amien menyebut, apabila realisasi lifting migas meleset dari target, capaiannya akan berada di kisaran 99%. Terdapat beberapa proyek yang diperkirakan akan menambah produksi minyak di 2017 dengan total 705 bph dari Blok West Madura Offshore sebesar 105 bph dan Blok Rokan sebesar 600 bph.

Enhance Regulation of Upstream Oil and Gas Industry

The government is continuing to improve regulation to create a conducive upstream oil and gas investment climate. Rules for the gross split as stated in Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 52/2017 are expected to stimulate the industry.

However, in that rule, there are still two things that must be perfected. Namely, a loss compensation facility is subject to indirect taxes and taxes. Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ego Syahrial stated that there is now an agreement between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the finance minister and the interest owners of the two issues.

"The Minister of Finance has requested approval on the issuance of Government Regulation (PP) which regulates it to the President. We expect the Government Regulation as well as the entry of participation documents to be in line with the target on 27 November, " he said at a press conference achieving three years of upstream oil and gas performance (27/10).

Sempurnakan Regulasi Industri Hulu Migas

Pemerintah terus berusaha memperbaiki regulasi untuk menciptakan iklim investasi hulu migas yang kondusif. Aturan bagi hasil gross split yang tertuang dalam Peraturan Menteri ESDM Nomor 52/2017 diharapkan dapat menggairahkan industri tersebut.

Namun, dalam aturan itu, masih ada dua hal yang harus disempurnakan. Yakni, fasilitas kompensasi kerugian terkait dengan pajak dan pajak tidak langsung. Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Ego Syahrial menyatakan, saat ini sudah ada kesepakatan antara Kementerian ESDM, menteri keuangan, dan pemilik kepentingan mengenai dua hal tersebut. 

”Menteri Keuangan sudah meminta persetujuan tentang penerbitan Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) yang mengatur hal itu ke Presiden. Kami harapkan Peraturan Pemerintah tersebut serta masuknya dokumen partisipasi bisa sesuai dengan target pada 27 November," katanya dalam konferensi pers pencapaian tiga tahun kinerja hulu minyak dan gas (27/10).

Tax Regulation Gross Split Is Coming Soon

The government immediately issues regulation on taxes on gross split share contracts following an agreement between the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources regarding the imposition of indirect taxes and deferred income tax.

Secretary of the Directorate General of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Susyanto said the Ministry of Finance has agreed on two things, namely the imposition of indirect taxes on exploitation and tax loss carry forward.

Based on the results of the meeting, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani gave a green light or permit related to indirect tax schemes such as value added tax (VAT) and land and building tax (PBB). As for the imposition of indirect taxes, the plan remains to be done. However, in the future any costs incurred to pay taxes will be returned in the form of split for contractors.

"Finance Minister Sri Mulyani has approved this tax facility to be replaced by paying other taxes on this payment will be replaced with the addition of split in accordance with the cost of the contractor," he said in the Exposure of Upstream Oil and Gas Performance Quarter III / 2017, Friday (27 / 10).

The gross split contractor will also get a deferred tax loss carry forward on the income tax type. If Law Number 38/2008 on Income Tax stipulates that tax loss carry forward is only valid for 5 years, the regulation in the form of Government Regulation (PP) of gross split taxation will set the time of suspension of tax loss compensation will be valid for up to 10 years.

That period, considering the length of the exploration period. Meanwhile, the tax loss carry forward with a period of 10 years means, during 10 years of exploration period, the imposition of Income Tax (PPh) is suspended. Later on, the contractor pays PPh after the 10 year period that the project is expected to reach the production stage.

"Loss carry forward in the end as per the Law of Income should only be 5 years, then this is devoted. This will excite oil and gas stakeholders because it can be up to 10 years at the most. "

In addition, for depreciation and amortization will also be a tax deductible income factor in the exploitation period. Accordingly, the income of the contractor subject to taxes will be reduced depreciation and amortization first so that the tax will be less.

Consideration to reduce taxable income due to the gross split system, no refund as applicable to cost recovery.

"This is a cost that can be used to reduce taxable income. In addition to up to 10 years [for tax loss carry forward, it is also amortized twice as much.

Regulasi Pajak Gross Split Segera Terbit

Pemerintah segera menerbitkan regulasi tentang pajak pada kontrak bagi hasil kotor atau gross split setelah adanya kesepakatan antara Kementerian Keuangan dan Kementetian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral mengenai pengenaan pajak tidak langsung dan penangguhan pajak penghasilan.

Sekretaris Direktorat Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Susyanto mengatakan, Kementerian Keuangan telah menyepakati dua hal, yakni tentang pengenaan pajak tidak langsung pada masa eksploitasi dan masa tax loss carry forward.

Berdasarkan hasil rapat, Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani memberikan lampu hijau atau izin terkait skema pengenaan pajak tidak langsung seperti pajak penambahan nilai (PPN) dan pajak bumi dan bangunan (PBB). Adapun untuk pembebanan pajak tidak langsung, rencananya tetap dilakukan. Namun, nantinya setiap biaya yang keluar untuk membayar pajak, akan dikembalikan berupa split bagi kontraktor.

“Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani sudah menyetujui fasilitas perpajakan ini digantikan membayarkan pajak-pajak yang lain atas pembayaran ini akan digantikan penambahan split sesuai dengan biaya yang dikeluarkan kontraktor,” ujarnya dalam Paparan Capaian Kinerja Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kuartal III/2017, Jumat (27/10).

Kontraktor gross split juga akan memperoleh penangguhan kompensasi kerugian pajak atau tax loss carry forward pada jenis pajak penghasilan. Apabila pada Undang-Undang Nomor 38/2008 tentang Pajak Penghasilan mengatur bahwa tax loss carry forward hanya berlaku selama 5 tahun, regulasi dalam bentuk Peraturan Pemerintah (PP) perpajakan gross split akan mengatur waktu penangguhan kompensasi kerugian pajak akan berlaku hingga 10 tahun.

Masa tersebut, mempertimbangkan lamanya masa eksplorasi. Adapun, tax loss carry forward dengan masa 10 tahun berarti, selama 10 tahun masa eksplorasi, pengenaan Pajak Penghasilan (PPh) ditangguhkan. Nantinya, kontraktor membayar PPh setelah melewati masa 10 tahun yang diharapkan proyek sudah mencapai tahap produksi.

“Loss carry forward pada akhirnya yang sesuai Undang-Undang PPh mestinya hanya 5 tahun, maka ini dikhususkan. Ini akan menggembirakan stakeholder migas karena bisa sampai paling lama 10 tahun.” 

Selain itu, untuk depresiasi dan amortisasi juga akan menjadi faktor pengurang penghasilan kena pajak di masa eksploitasi. Dengan demikian, pendapatan kontraktor yang terkena pajak akan dikurangi depresiasi dan amortisasi dulu sehingga pajak yang ditanggung akan lebih kecil.

Pertimbangan untuk mengurangi penghasilan kena pajak karena pada sistem gross split, tidak ada pengembalian biaya seperti yang berlaku pada cost recovery.

“lni biaya yang bisa dipakai untuk mengurangi pendapatan kena pajak. Selain bisa sampai 10 tahun [untuk tax loss carry forward, maka juga diamortisasi dua kali lipat.

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.

In the Decree of the Director General of Oil and Gas No. 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.

"Must be tested RONnya content. This means because the RON at least 88, so 89 is allowed, "he said.

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.

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). 

Untuk meningkatkan produksi di lapangan tersebut, Pertamina melakukan beberapa tahapan. 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. Sementara produksi gas, mencapai 68,7 juta kaki kubik gas per hari (mmscfd) dengan tingkat penjualan gas terserap 42,5 mmscfd.

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.
