ExxonMobil, Conoco, & BP Reach the Target

Only three oil and gas cooperation contract contractors were able to achieve the production target of oil and gas sales ready for 2018 and the six largest contractors in the country. 

    The three cooperation contract contractors (KKKS) are ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. (operators of Banyu Urip Field, Cepu Block), PT Conoco Phillips Indonesia (Block Corridor in South Sumatra), and PT BP Berau (operator of the Tangguh LNG Plant in West Papua).

Meanwhile, PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia, as the largest oil producer at present, records oil lifting in the Rokan Block at 209,000 barrels per day (bpd) or 98% of the 2018 State Budget target. ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. realized oil lifting of 209,000 bpd or 102% of the target. PT Pertamina EP is 79,900 bpd or 93% of the target.

In terms of natural gas producers, BP Berau, which is the operator of the Tangguh Block, recorded a lifting of 1,076 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd) or 108% of the target. ConocoPhillips Grissik Ltd. recorded production of 840 MMscfd or 104% of the target.

SKK Migas Head Dwi Soetjipto said that Chevron's performance in Block Rokan this year fell 10% compared to 2017 realization.

ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd.

"[Lifting oil] ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. up compared to 2017 performance of 203,000 bpd. For Pertamina EP, the oil lifting is indeed "compared to 2017, but it did not reach the 2018 State Budget target," he said last weekend.

the Mahakam Block

Dwi explained, the realization of the Mahakam Block gas lifting was far below the 2018 State Budget target because it was still in the transition period of the management of the former Total Work Area. Only in 2019, is investment not in 2018? This year, they plan to invest a lot [PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam]. "

Realization of oil lifting in 2018 amounted to 778,000 bpd or 97.25% of the 2018 state budget target of 800,000 bpd. Meanwhile, the oil lifting target in 2019 fell to 775,000 bpd. The realization of oil and gas lifting throughout 2018 amounted to 1.92 million barrels of oil equivalent per day / boepd or 96% of the 2018 state budget target of 2.00 million boepd.

The gas lifting target in 2019 is 1.25 million boepd. Throughout 2018, the realization of Pertamina Hulu Mahakam's oil and gas lifting reached 64 million barrels of oil equivalent with a projected yield of around Rp 22 trillion.

ExxonMobil, Conoco, & BP Mencapai Target

Hanya tiga kontraktor kontrak kerja sama minyak dan gas bumi yang mampu mencapai target produksi siap jual (lifting) minyak dan gas bumi sepanjang 2018 dan enam kontraktor terbesar di Tanah Air. Ketiga kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) itu adalah ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. (operator Lapangan Banyu Urip, Blok Cepu), PT Conoco Phillips Indonesia (Blok Corridor di Sumatra Selatan), dan PT BP Berau (operator Kilang LNG Tangguh di Papua Barat).

Sementara itu, PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia, sebagai produsen minyak terbesar saat ini, mencatatkan lifting minyak bumi di Blok Rokan sebesar 209.000 barel per hari (bph) atau 98% dari target APBN 2018. ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. merealisasikan lifting minyak 209.000 bph atau 102% dari target. PT Pertamina EP sebesar 79.900 bph atau 93% dari target.

Dari sisi produsen gas alam, BP Berau yang menjadi operator Blok Tangguh mencatatkan lifting 1.076 juta kaki kubik per hari (MMscfd) atau 108% dari target. ConocoPhillips Grissik Ltd. mencatatkan produksi 840 MMscfd atau 104% dari target. Kinerja sangat baik tidak diikuti oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam yang menjadi operator Blok Mahakam. Anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero) tersebut hanya merealisasikan lifting gas pada 2018 sebesar 832 MMscfd atau 75% dari target APBN 2018.

Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan bahwa kinerja Chevron di Blok Rokan pada tahun ini turun 10% dibandingkan dengan realisasi 2017.

“[Lifting minyak] ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. naik dibandingkan dengan kinerja 2017 sebesar 203.000 bph. Kalau Pertamina EP, lifting minyaknya memang naik dibandingkan dengan 2017, tetapi memang tidak mencapai target APBN 2018,” tuturnya akhir pekan lalu.

Dwi menjelaskan, realisasi lifting gas Blok Mahakam jauh di bawah target APBN 2018 karena masih dalam masa transisi pengelolaan Wilayah kerja eks Total tersebut. Hanya di tahun 2019, apakah pada 2018 investasi tidak? Tahun ini rencananya investasi mereka [PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam] banyak.”

Realisasi lifting minyak pada 2018 sebesar 778.000 bph atau 97,25% dari target APBN 2018 sebesar 800.000 bph. Sementara itu, target lifting minyak pada 2019 turun menjadi 775.000 bph. Realisasi lifting minyak dan gas bumi sepanjang 2018 sebesar 1,92 juta barel setara minyak per hari /boepd atau 96% dari target APBN 2018 sebesar 2,00 juta boepd. 

Target lifting gas pada 2019 sebesar 1,25 juta boepd. Sepanjang 2018, realisasi lifting migas Pertamina Hulu Mahakam mencapai 64 juta barrel setara minyak dengan proyeksi imbal hasil untuk negara sekitar Rp 22 triliun.

Government Finalizes Rokan Block Contract

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) is currently finalizing the Rokan Block gross sharing scheme (PSC). The signing of the contract is targeted to be possible this month.

"As soon as possible this month (the signature of the Rokan Block contract)," said Deputy Minister of ESDM Arcandra Tahar.

Arcandra Tahar

ESDM Ministry Director General of Oil and Gas Djoko Siswanto said that there had been no further discussions with PT Pertamina (Persero) for the new Rokan Block contract. At present, it is completing the preparation of this contract.

"This is finalization," he said.

the Rokan Block By Chevron

Pertamina Corporate Secretary Syahrial Mukhtar had revealed that the Rokan Block would be managed by a new Pertamina subsidiary. The establishment of this subsidiary is due to the very large size of the Rokan Block so that there needs to be one unit that focuses on working on this oil and gas block. Later, this new subsidiary will sign the Rokan Block contract.

This new Rokan Block contract uses a PSC scheme for gross split, different from the previous one using a cost recovery scheme. Revenue sharing for contractors is set at 65% for oil and 70% for gas. While the government's share is 35% for oil and 30% for gas. While the potential for state revenues from Block Rokan during Pertamina's management reaches US $ 57 billion.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto said, reflecting on the experience of managing the Mahakam Block, the transition to the management of the Rokan Block must also be carried out before the existing contract ends. Because the investment in the Mahakam Block had stagnated in the transition period.

It has begun a discussion of the Block Rokan management transfer with Pertamina as the new operator and PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia as the existing operator. As is known, during the transition to the management of the Mahakam Block, Pertamina began participating in issuing investments before operatorship rights shifted from Total E & P Indonesia. Pertamina starts to spend US $ 180 million in 2017, even though Pertamina's contract in the Mahakam Block will be effective starting January 1, 2018.

In fact, Pertamina has been officially appointed as the operator since mid-2015 and signed the PSC in December 2015. However, Pertamina and Total have just signed the Mahakam Block management transfer agreement in August 2016. Subsequently, Pertamina signed the Mahakam Block PSC amendment which became the investment base earlier in October 2016.

Regarding the Rokan Block, Dwi hopes that the discussion with the related contractor (KKKS) contractor can be finalized soon. Because, he considered the transition period for the management of the Rokan Block must start earlier than the Mahakam Block.

"Right (starting this year transition), it should be yes (starting this year)," he said.

In Blok Rokan, Pertamina promises a signature bonus of US $ 784 million or Rp. 11.3 trillion. In addition, Pertamina also has a definite work commitment (KKP) for the first five years worth US $ 500 million or around Rp 7.2 trillion. Pertamina has deposited a signature bonus and investment guarantee in the form of a performance bond.

Referring to the definite work commitment promised to the government, Pertamina has planned a number of activities, as contained in the ESDM Ministerial Decree 1923K / 10 / MEM / 2018. Some of these activities were enhanced oil recovery / EOR worth US $ 4 million, drilling of 11 exploration wells of US $ 69.8 million, drilling of five Telisa wells of US $ 18.1 million, stage-1 CEOR 7 pattern US $ 247 million, and Kulin stage-1 steam flood or Rantau Bais US $ 88.6 million.

Referring to SKK Migas data, in 2018, the realization of the Block Rokan production was below the target set, which was only 209,466 barrels per day (bpd) of 213 thousand bpd. Realization of the lifting is 10% lower than the realization in 2017 which was recorded at 223 thousand bpd. While in 2019, Blok Rokan oil production is projected to be around 180 thousand bpd. At present, the Rokan Block has oil reserves of 500 million to 1.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Pemerintah Finalisasi Kontrak Blok Rokan

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) kini sedang memfinalisasi kontrak kerja sama (production sharing contract/PSC) skema bagi hasil kotor (gross split) Blok Rokan. Penandatanganan kontrak ditargetkan bisa dalam bulan ini juga.

“Secepatnya bulan ini (tanda tangan kontrak Blok Rokan),” kata Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar.

Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Djoko Siswanto mengatakan, sudah tidak ada pembahasan lagi dengan PT Pertamina (Persero) untuk kontrak baru Blok Rokan. Saat ini, pihaknya sedang menyelesaikan penyusunan kontrak ini. 

“lni finalisasi,” ujar dia.

Sekretaris Perusahaan Pertamina Syahrial Mukhtar sempat mengungkapkan, Blok Rokan akan dikelola anak usaha baru Pertamina. Pembentukan anak usaha ini lantaran ukuran Blok Rokan yang sangat besar sehingga perlu ada satu unit yang fokus menggarap blok migas ini. Nantinya, anak usaha baru ini lah yang akan menandatangani kontrak Blok Rokan.

Kontrak baru Blok Rokan ini menggunakan PSC skema bagi basil kotor (gross split), berbeda dari sebelumnya yang menggunakan skema cost recovery. Bagi hasil untuk kontraktor ditetapkan sebesar 65% untuk minyak dan 70% untuk gas. Sementara bagian pemerintah yakni 35% untuk minyak dan 30% untuk gas. Sementara potensi penerimaan negara dari Blok Rokan selama dikelola Pertamina mencapai US$ 57 miliar.

Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto menuturkan, berkaca pada pengalaman alih kelola Blok Mahakam, transisi pengelolaan Blok Rokan juga harus dilakukan sebelum kontrak eksisting berakhir. Pasalnya, investasi di Blok Mahakam sempat tersendat di masa transisi.

Pihaknya telah memulai pembahasan alih kelola Blok Rokan ini dengan Pertamina selaku operator baru dan PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia sebagai operator eksisting. Seperti diketahui, pada saat transisi pengelolaan Blok Mahakam, Pertamina mulai ikut mengeluarkan investasi sebelum hak operatorship beralih dari Total E&P lndonesie. Pertamina mulai mengeluarkan dana sebesar US$ 180 juta pada 2017, meski kontrak Pertamina di Blok Mahakam akan efektif mulai 1 Januari 2018.

Padahal, Pertamina resmi ditunjuk jadi operator sejak pertengahan 2015 dan menandatangani PSC pada Desember 2015. Namun, Pertamina dan Total baru saja menandatangani perjanjian alih kelola Blok Mahakam pada Agustus 2016. Selanjutnya, Pertamina menandatangani amendemen PSC Blok Mahakam yang menjadi dasar investasi lebih awal pada Oktober 2016.

Terkait Blok Rokan, Dwi berharap pembahasan dengan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) terkait itu bisa segera finalisasi. Pasalnya, dia menilai masa transisi pengelolaan Blok Rokan harus dimulai lebih awal dibanding Blok Mahakam. 

“Betul (mulai tahun ini transisi) , harusnya iya (mulai tahun ini),” kata dia.

Di Blok Rokan, Pertamina menjanjikan bonus tanda tangan sebesar US$ 784 juta atau Rp 11,3 triliun. Selain itu, Pertamina juga memiliki komitmen kerja pasti (KKP) untuk lima tahun pertama senilai US$ 500 juta atau sekitar Rp 7,2 triliun. Pertamina telah menyetorkan bonus tanda tangan dan jaminan investasi berupa performance bond tersebut.

Mengacu komitmen kerja pasti yang dijanjikan kepada pemerintah, Pertamina sudah merencanakan sejumlah kegiatan, sebagaimana yang ada didalam Keputusan Menteri ESDM 1923K/ 10/ MEM/2018. Beberapa kegiatan itu yakni studi pengurasan minyak tahap lanjut (enhanced oil recovery/ EOR) senilai US$ 4 juta, pengeboran 11 sumur eksplorasi US$ 69,8 juta, pengeboran lima sumur Telisa US$ 18,1 juta, stage-1 CEOR 7 pattern US$ 247 juta, dan stage-1 steam flood Kulin atau Rantau Bais US$ 88,6 juta.

Mengacu data SKK Migas, pada 2018 lalu, realisasi produksi Blok Rokan di bawah target yang ditetapkan, yakni hanya 209.466 barel per hari (bph) dari 213 ribu bph. Realisasi lifting tersebut lebih rendah 10% dibanding realisasi pada 2017 lalu yang tercatat sebesar 223 ribu bph. 

     Sementara di 2019, produksi minyak Blok Rokan diproyeksikan sekitar 180 ribu bph. Saat ini, Blok Rokan memiliki cadangan minyak sebesar 500 juta hingga 1,5 miliar barel setara minyak per hari.

There is 'Little Texas' in Bojonegoro

Bojonegoro Regency, East Java is one of the second largest crude oil producers in Indonesia. Not surprisingly, in the past, Dutch and Japanese colonists were so eager to control the area.

Japan

In Bojonegoro also Dutch and Japanese colonials carried out massive exploitation of oil resources. Traces of oil mining by the Netherlands and Japan still exist today in the form of old oil wells.

Dutch

In addition to being managed by Pertamina, oil resources in Bojonegoro are traditionally mined by the community. However, over time, the crude oil reserves in Bojonegoro continued to thin out.

Now, to provide economic added value and improve the welfare of the local community, the central government and the District Government (Pemkab) of Bojonegoro conjure up a traditional oil mining center in Wonocolo, Kedewan District, to become a tourist area. The area was named Teksas Wonocolo.

Teksas Wonocolo

Teksas Wonocolo is a geosite that was developed into a geological tour of old oil wells. Teksas Wonocolo is also the location of petroleum education tours. Nama Teksas was inspired by Texas, one of the states in the United States (US) which was also a source of oil from Uncle Sam's country. That's because the landscape in Wonocolo is similar to past oil mining in Texas. Teksas itself stands for Tekad Always Safe and Prosperous.

Geopark Festival

Various activities were carried out by the Bojonegoro Regency Government so that tourists visited Textas Wonocolo. One of them held the 2018 Bojonegoro Geopark Festival which took place last November. The festival presents various interesting events, such as Fun Trips. Also held musical performances and dances, including Thengul Massal Dance, Sinten Remen Orchestra Djadug Febrianto, and Bojonegoro Ethnic Music.

Regina Indonesian Idol

Musicians who enlivened the event included Regina Idol, Sruti Respati feat Indro bassist, and Anjie feat Sruti. The 2018 Bojonegoro Geopark Festival begins with tree planting together at the Texas Wonocolo Tourism object, as a conservative national geopark tourist attraction. On the sidelines of the festival, awards were also given to the management of the tourist attraction of Textas Wonocolo.

"Teksas Wonocolo was chosen as the best tourist village at the 2018 Bojonegoro Geopark Festival," said Head of the Culture and Tourism Office (Disbudpar) of Bojonegoro Regency Amir Sahid in his official statement in Bojonegoro.

The festival was held after the Bojonegoro Geopark area officially obtained a national geopark certificate as a geological reserve area from the Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) in 2017.

Tourist Visits

With an area of ​​23 km2 and inhabited by 1,400 people, the Bojonegoro Geopark area promises natural tourism, especially in the form of oil fields that blend with local culture. In addition there are still tourist destinations scattered in the Bojonegoro Geopark region, including the anticline structure of Kawengan, the top part of the anticline, the right wing part and part of the left wing, all in Kedewan District.

Kayangan Api

Anticline is a geological structure in the form of folds of sedimentary rock or metamorphic rocks which are convex upwards. The middle part of the anticline is called the anticline core. The other geopark is Kayangan Api in Sendangharjo Village (Ngasem District), Dung Lantung in Drenges Village (Sugihwaras District), and the location of fossil findings of ancient shark teeth in Jono Village (Temayang District).

ancient shark teeth

"Besides being visited by many tourists, the Bojonegoro Geopark area is often used as a natural laboratory by universities, ITB and ITS," said Head of Human Resources and Institutional Development for Tourism and Culture at the Disbudpar Bojonegoro Dyah Enggar Rinimukti.

In this region there are a number of frequently visited points, such as oil mining which has been managed for 110 years. The other unique geology is the oil-producing reservoir rock at an average depth of 100 meters below the surface (the depth of the reservoir is above sea level).

This proves that petroleum in Wonocolo is a shallow reservoir in Indonesia, even in the world. There are 700 oil wells where 200 wells are traditionally mined.

The number of tourists visiting Texas Wonocolo continues to increase from year to year. In 2017, the area which is about 50 km from the city center of Bojonegoro was visited by 5,719 tourists. In 2018 the number increased 180% to 16 thousand.

In an effort to anticipate the increase in tourists, Bojonegoro Regency Government also continues to improve access and services at tourist sites. Infrastructure revamping, for example, is targeted to be completed in 2019.

Regency government also prepares support services, such as homestays for tourists. After successfully gaining the status of National Geopark, the Bojonegoro Regency Government targeted the status of International Geopark issued by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Little Texas

The tourist area of ​​Teksas Wonocolo is also known as Little Texas (Texas Minor) on the oil hill with an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. The first oil tourism object in Indonesia that combines more than 100 years of geological tourism and petroleum system has become one of the favorite locations for photography.

tourists in Texas Wonocolo

After adventuring in Texas Wonocolo, tourists can directly see oil mining by entering the museum of traditional oil mining.

The museum, which was inaugurated on April 27, 2016, is an information center for the history of oil mining. The collection is diverse, from fossils, mining mockups, stratitigation or soil layers, photos, to traditional mining videos from the 60 ~ 80s era.

Stegodorz Trigonocephalus

Ancient animal fossils on display include fossils of ancient elephants (Stegodorz Trigonocephalus) as well as ancient deer and rhinos (Rhirzocerotidae). These ancient animals are estimated to have lived 2.6 million to 10 million years ago. This fossil that is commonly found around Bengawan Solo is the source of oil and gas for Bojonegoro.

Ada ‘Little Texas’ di Bojonegoro

Kabupaten Bojonegoro, Jawa Timur merupakan salah satu penghasil minyak mentah terbesar ke dua di Indonesia. Tidak mengherankan jika pada masa lalu, penjajah Belanda dan Jepang begitu bernafsu menguasai daerah tersebut.

Di Bojonegoro pula kolonial Belanda dan Jepang melakukan eksploitasi besar-besaran terhadap sumber-sumber minyak. Jejak-jejak penambangan minyak oleh Belanda dan Jepang masih ada hingga kini berupa sumur-sumur minyak tua.

Selain dikelola Pertamina, sumber minyak di Bojonegoro ditambang masyarakat secara tradisional. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, cadangan minyak mentah di dalam bumi Bojonegoro terus menipis.

Nah, untuk memberikan nilai tambah ekonomi dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat setempat, pemerintah pusat dan Pemerintah Kabupaten (Pemkab) Bojonegoro menyulap pusat pertambangan minyak tradisional di Wonocolo, Kecamatan Kedewan, menjadi kawasan wisata. Kawasan itu diberi nama Teksas Wonocolo.

Teksas Wonocolo merupakan geosite yang dikembangkan menjadi wisata geologi sumur minyak tua. Teksas Wonocolo juga menjadi lokasi wisata edukasi perminyakan. Nama Teksas memang terinspirasi oleh Texas, salah satu negara bagian di Amerika Serikat (AS) yang juga menjadi sumber minyak Negeri Paman Sam. Itu karena lanskap di Wonocolo mirip dengan penambangan minyak masa lalu di Texas. Teksas sendiri merupakan singkatan dari Tekad Selalu Aman dan Sejahtera. 

Festival Geopark

Berbagai kegiatan dilakukan Pemkab Bojonegoro agar wisatawan berkunjung ke Teksas Wonocolo. Salah satunya menggelar Festival Geopark Bojonegoro 2018 yang berlangsung pada November lalu. Festival tersebut mempersembahkan berbagai acara menarik, seperti Fun Trips. Juga menggelar pentas musik dan tari-tarian, di antaranya Tari Thengul Massal, Orkes Sinten Remen Djadug Febrianto, dan Musik Etnik Bojonegoro.

Musisi yang memeriahkan acara tersebut antara lain Regina Idol, Sruti Respati feat bassist Indro, dan Anjie feat Sruti. Festival Geopark Bojonegoro 2018 diawali dengan penanaman pohon bersama di objek Wisata Teksas Wonocolo, sebagai usaha konservsi objek wisata geopark nasional. Di sela-sela festival itu juga dilakukan penyerahan penghargaan kepada pengelola objek Wisata Teksas Wonocolo.

“Teksas Wonocolo terpilih sebagai desa wisata terbaik pada Festival Geopark Bojonegoro 2018,” ujar Kepala Dinas Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata (Disbudpar) Kabupaten Bojonegoro Amir Sahid dalam keterangan resminya di Bojonegoro.

Festival itu digelar setelah kawasan Geopark Bojonegoro resmi memperoleh sertifikat geopark nasional sebagai kawasan cagar alam geologi dari Badan Geologi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) pada 2017.

Kunjungan Turis

Dengan areal seluas 23 km2 dan dihuni 1.400 jiwa, kawasan Geopark Bojonegoro menjanjikan wisata alam, khususnya berupa hamparan minyak yang menyatu dengan kebudayaan setempat. Selain itu masih ada destinasi wisata yang tersebar di kawasan Geopark Bojonegoro, di antaranya struktur antiklin Kawengan bagian puncak antiklin, bagian sayap kanan dan sebagian sayap kiri, semuanya di Kecamatan Kedewan.

Antiklin merupakan struktur geologi berupa lipatan lapisan batuan sedimen atau batuan metamorfosis yang cembung ke atas. Bagian tengah antiklin disebut inti antiklin. Geopark lainnya adalah Kayangan Api di Desa Sendangharjo (Kecamatan Ngasem), Dung Lantung di Desa Drenges (Kecamatan Sugihwaras), dan lokasi temuan fosil gigi hiu purba di Desa Jono (Kecamatan Temayang).

“Selain banyak dikunjungi wisatawan, kawasan Geopark Bojonegoro sering dijadikan laboratorium alam oleh perguruan tinggi, ITB dan ITS,” tutur Kepala Bidang Pengembangan SDM dan Kelembagaan Pariwisata dan Budaya Disbudpar Bojonegoro Dyah Enggar Rinimukti.

Di kawasan ini terdapat sejumlah titik yang kerap dikunjungi, seperti pertambangan minyak yang telah dikelola selama 110 tahun. Keunikan geologi lainnya adalah batuan reservoar penghasil minyak bumi pada kedalaman rata-rata 100 meter di bawah permukaan tanah (kedalaman reservoir berada di atas permukaan air laut).

Ini membuktikan bahwa minyak bumi di Wonocolo merupakan reservoir terdangkal di Indonesia, bahkan di dunia. Di sana terdapat 700 sumur minyak dimana 200 sumur di antaranya ditambang secara tradisional.

Jumlah wisatawan yang berkunjung ke Teksas Wonocolo dari tahun ke tahun terus meningkat. Pada 2017, kawasan yang berjarak sekitar 50 km dari pusat Kota Bojonegoro ini dikunjungi 5.719 wisatawan. Pada 2018 jumlahnya meningkat 180% menjadi 16 ribu.

Dalam upaya mengantisipasi peningkatan wisatawan tersebut, Pemkab Bojonegoro juga terus meningkatkan akses maupun layanan di lokasi wisata. Pembenahan infrastruktur, misalnya, ditargetkan rampung pada 2019.

Pemkab juga menyiapkan layanan pendukung, seperti homestay bagi wisatawan. Setelah sukses meraih status Geopark Nasional, Pemkab Bojonegoro menargetkan status Geopark Internasional yang diterbitkan United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Little Texas 

Kawasan wisata Teksas Wonocolo dikenal juga sebagai Little Texas (Texas Kecil) di bukit minyak dengan ketinggian 300 mdpl. Objek wisata minyak pertama di Indonesia yang memadukan wisata geologi dan petroleum system berusia lebih dari 100 tahun ini menjadi salah satu lokasi favorit untuk berswafoto.

Setelah berpetualang di Teksas Wonocolo, wisatawan bisa melihat secara langsung penambangan minyak dengan masuk ke museum penambangan minyak tradisional.

Museum yang diresmikan pada 27 April 2016 itu merupakan pusat informasi sejarah pertambangan minyak. Koleksinya beragam, mulai fosil, maket penambangan, stratitigasi atau lapisan tanah, foto, hingga video pertambangan tradisional era 60~80an.

Fosil hewan purba yang dipamerkan antara lain fosil gajah purba (Stegodorz Trigonocephalus) serta rusa dan badak purba (Rhirzocerotidae). Hewan-hewan purba itu diperkirakan hidup 2,6 juta hingga 10 juta tahun lalu. Fosil yang banyak ditemukan di sekitar Bengawan Solo inilah yang menjadi sumber migas bagi Bojonegoro.

Akomodasi Hotel

Tentang penginapan, wisatawan yang berkunjung ke T eksas Wonocolo tidak perlu kawatir karena sudah banyak hotel hotel berbintang hadir di kawasan tersebut. Sebut saja Favehotel Sudirman Bojonegoro atau Aston Bojonegoro City Hotel di Jl MH Thamrin Iedok Kulon Tiga, Bojonegoro.

Upstream Oil and Gas Investment is Targeted at US $ 14.79 M

The government targets national upstream oil and gas investment of US $ 14.79 billion this year, up 24.28 percent from last year's realization of US $ 11.9 billion. Increased investment is driven by the presence of several large oil and gas projects that are now under construction.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto said, this year, the national oil and gas lifting target is set at 2.25 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. In particular, oil production is targeted at 775 thousand barrels per day (bpd) and gas 1.25 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. To realize this target, the company set a target for oil and gas investment this year of US $ 14.79 billion.

"The investment plan for 2019 is US $ 14.79 billion, from the 2018 realization of US $ 11.9 billion," he said.

Dwi added, one of the strategies was carried out so that oil and gas lifting was in accordance with the target by ensuring that the investment went according to plan. Primarily, it will encourage investment in oil and gas projects that are still under development.

"So the steps are how to increase monitoring and control of these projects," he said.

The same thing was also expressed by the Director General of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Djoko Siswanto. It is also optimistic that this year's oil and gas investment will improve, considering there are several large oil and gas projects that are still under construction.

Eni Indonesia

"Optimistic because this year Eni Indonesia has set Merakes (investment) of US $ 1.3 billion, Train-3 Tangguh is still on the road, and JTB (Jambaran Tiung Biru) is US $ 1.6 billion. Of those three, it has been large (investment), "he explained.

This year, Eni Indonesia began working on the development of the Merakes Field, Sepinggan East Block. The project with a total investment of US $ 1.3 billion is targeted to be completed by 2021. 

PT Pertamina EP Cepu

    Furthermore, since the end of last year, PT Pertamina EP Cepu began working on the JTB Project worth US $ 1.55 billion with a target of completion in 2021. 

BP Indonesia

    Then, BP Indonesia is now is working on Train-3 of Tangguh's US $ 8 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) refinery. The project, which was carried out by a company from England since 2016, is targeted to be completed by 2020

Not only from the new project, Dwi said, efforts to achieve the lifting target will also be sought from enhanced oil recovery / EOR.

"We will ensure the preparation of EOR projects. Then it can work better with KKKS (cooperation contract contractors / KKKS) to help them increase their lifting, "he said.

Referring to data from the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas), by 2030, oil production is projected to only amount to 281 thousand bpd. However, if EOR is successfully implemented, oil production can be increased to 520 thousand bpd by 2030. In SKK Migas data, additional production from activities, EOR is projected to enter in 2025.

Not Reaching Target

In 2018, the realization of national oil and gas lifting is still below the target of 2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, which is 1.91 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. In detail. the realization of oil lifting is 778 thousand bpd from the target of 800 thousand bpd. While the realization of gas lifting is 1.13 million barrels of oil equivalent per day from the target of 1.2 million barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Compared to 2017 realization, last year's oil and gas lifting was lower. In 2017, the realization of oil and gas lifting reached 1.94 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. However, last year's realization of upstream oil and gas investment was US $ 11.9 billion, higher and 2017 which was US $ 9.33 billion.

According to Djoko, the increase in investment does not mean an increase in oil and gas lifting because the oil and gas project is long-term.

"Even though lifting is down, a big investment is due to issuing costs now," he said.

In addition, investment is needed to keep national oil and gas production from being cut significantly. Because, without investment and activities, the rate of decline in oil and gas production can reach more than 11%.

"In order not to become a decline, development is used. The existing [oil and gas block] also develops so that it does not go down [production] by 11%, "he explained.

Investasi Hulu Migas Ditargetkan US$ 14,79 M

Pemerintah menargetkan investasi hulu migas nasional sebesar US$ 14,79 miliar pada tahun ini, naik 24,28% dari realisasi tahun lalu sebesar US$ 11,9 miliar. Peningkatan investasi didorong adanya beberapa proyek migas besar yang kini dalam pengerjaan.

Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto menuturkan, pada tahun ini, target lifting migas nasional ditetapkan sebesar 2,25 juta barel setara minyak per hari. Rincinya, produksi minyak ditargetkan sebesar 775 ribu barel per hari (bph) dan gas 1,25 juta barel setara minyak per hari. Untuk merealisasikan target tersebut, pihaknya menetapkan target investasi migas tahun ini US$ 14,79 miliar. 

“Rencana investasi tahun 2019 adalah US$ 14,79 miliar, dari realisasi 2018 sebesar US$ 11,9 miliar,” katanya.

Dwi menambahkan, salah satu strategi yang dilakukan agar lifting migas sesuai target yakni dengan memastikan investasi berjalan sesuai rencana. Utamanya, pihaknya akan mendorong investasi pada proyek-proyek migas yang masih dalam tahap pengembangan. 

“Jadi langkahnya bagaimana tingkatkan monitoring dan control proyek-proyek ini,” ujarnya.

Hal senada juga diungkapkan oleh Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Djoko Siswanto. Pihaknya pihaknya juga optimistis investasi migas tahun ini akan membaik, mengingat ada beberapa proyek migas besar yang masih dalam pengerjaan.

“Optimis karena tahun ini Eni Indonesia sudah tetapkan Merakes (investasi) US$ 1,3 miliar, Train-3 Tangguh masih jalan, dan JTB (Jambaran Tiung Biru) US$ 1,6 miliar. Dari tiga itu saja, sudah besar (investasi),”jelas dia. 

Pada tahun ini, Eni Indonesia mulai mengerjakan pengembangan Lapangan Merakes, Blok East Sepinggan. Proyek dengan nilai investasi total US$ 1,3 miliar ini ditargetkan rampung pada 2021. Selanjutnya, sejak akhir tahun lalu, PT Pertamina EP Cepu mulai menggarap Proyek JTB senilai US$ 1,55 miliar dengan target penyelesaian pada 2021. 

    Kemudian, BP Indonesia kini sedang mengerjakan Train-3 kilang gas alam cair (liquefied natural gas/LNG) Tangguh senilai US$ 8 miliar. Proyek yang dikerjakan perusahaan dari Inggris sejak 2016 lalu itu ditargetkan rampung pada 2020

Tidak hanya dari proyek baru, Dwi menuturkan, upaya pencapaian target lifting juga akan diupayakan dari kegiatan pengurasan minyak tahap lanjut (enhanced oil recovery/EOR). 

“Kami akan memastikan persiapan proyek-proyek EOR. Kemudian bisa kerja sama lebih bagus dengan KKKS (kontraktor kontrak kerja sama/KKKS) untuk membantu mereka tingkatkan lifting,” kata dia.

Mengacu data Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas), pada 2030, produksi minyak diproyeksikan hanya akan sebesar 281 ribu bph. Namun, jika EOR berhasil dilaksanakan, produksi minyak dapat ditingkatkan menjadi 520 ribu bph pada 2030. Dalam data SKK Migas, tambahan produksi dari kegiatan, EOR diproyeksikan akan masuk pada 2025.

Tidak Mencapai Target

Pada 2018, realisasi lifting migas nasional tercatat masih di bawah target 2 juta barel setara minyak per hari, yakni sebesar 1,91 juta barel setara minyak per hari. Rincinya. realisasi lifting minyak sebesar 778 ribu bph dari target 800 ribu bph. Sementara realisasi lifting gas sebesar 1,13 juta barel setara minyak per hari dari target 1,2 juta barel setara minyak per hari.

Jika dibandingkan realisasi 2017, lifting migas tahun lalu tercatat lebih rendah. Pada 2017, realisasi lifting migas mencapai 1,94 juta barel setara minyak per hari. Meski demikian, realisasi investasi hulu migas tahun lalu sebesar US$ 11,9 miliar, justru lebih tinggi dan 2017 yang sebesar US$ 9,33 miliar.

Menurut Djoko, kenaikan investasi bukan berarti peningkatan lifting migas karena proyek migas bersifat jangka panjang.

“Meskipun lifting turun, investasi besar karena mengeluarkan biayanya sekarang,” ujarnya.

Selain itu, investasi diperlukan untuk menjaga produksi migas nasional tidak terpotong secara signifikan. Pasalnya, tanpa ada investasi dan kegiatan, maka laju penurunan produksi migas bisa mencapai lebih dari 11%. 

“Supaya tidak jadi penurunan inilah yang dipakai development. [Blok migas] eksisting itu juga melakukan development agar tidak turun [produksinya] 11%,” jelas dia.

Dwi memaparkan, tiga produsen minyak terbesar di 2018 yakni PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia untuk Blok Rokan 213 ribu bph, Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited untuk Blok Cepu 209.314 bph, dan Pertamina EP 79.910 bph.

Pertamina EP Cepu Performs EPC I Prime Placement

PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) conducted a premiere of the EPC Gas Processing Facilitation (GPF) project to develop the Jambaran - Tiung Biru (JTB) unitization gas field in Bojonegoro - East Java - Indonesia.

The event was attended by Upstream Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Dharmawan H. Samsu, SKK Migas Deputy Operation Fatar Yani Abdurrahman, and Chairman of the Bojonegero Regional Representative Council (DPRD) Sigit Kusharijanto. The Jambaran-Tiung Biru (JTB) project managed by PEPC is one of the National Strategic Projects (PSN) set by the Committee for the Acceleration of Priority Infrastructure Provision (KPPIP).

Upstream Director of Pertamina Dharmawan H. Samsu said the establishment of the Prime EPC Gas Processing Facility was one of the important momentum of the JTB project.

"The GPF EPC project functions to produce gas and condensate from the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Unitization Field with an average raw gas production of 315 MMSCFD and onstream / commercial gas targets in 2021 with gas sales of 192 MMSCFD. GPF will be built using technology and designed to get operational reliability and be environmentally friendly to produce for 25 years, "explained Dharmawan.

While PEPC's Managing Director, Jamsaton Nababan, explained that currently, the progress of the EPC GPF has reached 12% and it is expected that progress will progress further in accordance with the S-Curve agreed between PEPC and the RJJ consortium as the executor of the work.

"This work is carried out in parallel and simultaneously from the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction work so that the Commissioning and Project Completion EPC GPF can be implemented in 2021," said Jamsaton.

The gas production of 192 MMSCFD will later be channeled through the Gresik-Semarang transmission pipeline. With JTB gas reserves of 2.5 trillion cubic feet (TCF), JTB is expected to provide a multiplier effect, especially to overcome the gas supply deficit in Central and East Java.

Chairman of the Bojonegoro DPRD Sigit Kusharijanto expressed his support for the JTB project which could provide a multiplier effect for the Bojonegoro community. Furthermore, Sigit also appreciated PEPC's efforts to implement the Corporate Social Responsibility (SCR) program in the Bojonegoro region.
