Lifting Block Rokan 2019 Exceeds Target

PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) revealed, the realization of the Rokan Block oil lifting in 2019 exceeded the Work Plan and Budget (WP&B) targets agreed with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas).

The realization of oil lifting in the Rokan Block reached 190 thousand barrels per day (BPD). While the oil lifting target in WP&B 2019 is set at 185,300 BPD.

the Rokan Block

CPI President Director Albert Simanjuntak said the lifting realization came from reparations or well services by utilizing new technology so that production in the Rokan block could still be optimal.

"In 2019, we will focus on doing workovers by using digital technology, which is choosing well candidates to work on and minimizing our downtime. We are very grateful that the approach taken by Alhamdulillah was able to exceed the plan approved by 102.5% of WPNB, "Albert said in a Hearing Meeting with the House of Representatives Commission VII in Jakarta.

Albert revealed that throughout 2019 yesterday there was no drilling. Because the CPI contract will expire soon on August 8, 2021. He said the last drilling was done in 2018 and then there were 89 wells.

With the expiration of the contract in 2021, drilling in Rokan will no longer be economical. After more than 50 years of managing the Rokan Block, CPI has drilled more than 100 oil and gas fields in the Rokan Block.

He said without drilling investment, this year's WPNB lifting target is lower than 2019 yesterday. Optimization of well injection is done to prevent a too drastic reduction in production.

"We did not drill, the investment return time was not enough, the WP&B 2020 target was 161 thousand BPD," he said.

Meanwhile, Member of Commission VII of the House of Representatives (DPR) Maman Abdurrahman asked for an explanation of the transition period for the management of the Rokan Block from CPI to Pertamina. He highlighted efforts made so that production does not drop dramatically during the transition period and when Pertamina takes over in 2021.

"How to maintain production. Who is drilling? Chevron issued the funds first or what? I'm sure Chevron doesn't want to spend money, "he said.

Albert said that he had coordinated with SKK Migas and Pertamina regarding the transition period since 2019 yesterday. He said there were three options, namely CPI which funded and conducted drilling. The second option is Pertamina to fund and drill. While the last option is funding from Pertamina and CPI that are drilling. But until now the discussion is still ongoing because the Rokan Block uses a cost recovery contract scheme.

"Our reputation in the future keeps Rokan production from dropping. We are interested in cooperation with the government and Pertamina so that the drop is prevented from going too far, "he said.

Albert further revealed that CPI suffered a loss of Rp 23 billion during 2019 due to oil theft. The theft mode is carried out by making underground tunnels (tunnels) connected to oil distribution pipes. This mode is commonly known as illegal tapping. During 2019 yesterday there were 72 illegal tapping cases. Of these 55 cases were intervened successfully. The meaning of illegal tapping has not succeeded in stealing oil.

"Our losses are in the form of stolen oil, repairing holes in the holes and cleaning up oil spills," he said.

Albert said that his side had collaborated with the TNI-Polri in preventing oil theft activities. He explained that cooperation with the security forces had been going on all this time and was being renewed every year.

"We made a cooperative agreement with the TNI-Polri because illegal tapping is becoming more sophisticated," he said.

Cepu Block Environmental Impact Analysis

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives Commission VII also highlighted the problem of Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) in the Cepu Block, Central Java. The Amdal permit has not yet been issued by the Bojonegoro Regency Government.

     However, the management of Exxon Mobile Cepu Limited has yet to disclose issues related to the slow licensing process. This was raised in the DPR Commission VII Hearing Meeting with 10 Cooperation Contract Contractors (K3S).

the Cepu Block

Chairperson of DPR's Commission VII Chairperson of DPR's Commission VII Sugeng Suparwoto said the Cepu Block has a unique character because it continues to be able to increase proven reserves. Even now the Cepu Block is the national oil lifting platform.

"Uniquely the Cepu Block, from the Dutch Age has only just been met by continuously increasing its proven reserve to 900 million barrels, which is extraordinary," Sugeng said in Jakarta.

Exxon Mobil's Senior Vice President Cepu Muhammad Nurdin explained, the EIA problem was still coordinated with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas). He was reluctant to expose the problems that made the permit process uncertain. It only explains that they have fulfilled the requirements needed in the submission of an EIA.

"High rate tests have been carried out and submitted as revised EIA documents," he said.

Muhammad explained that the Amdal revision was carried out because the factory's capacity had increased to 235 thousand barrels per day (BPD). In the previous Amdal, the production capacity was only 220 thousand BPD.

He emphasized that capacity building was based on a series of tests. Even the Environmental Impact Assessment documents have been attached aspects of the environment and emissions. During the meeting, Muhammad revealed that the increase in reserves proved to be more than double from before. The proven reserve reaches 940 million barrels. While previously in the Plan of Development (POD) revealed oil and gas reserves of 325 million barrels.

"This means that the peak field will be longer than the Banyu Urip field prediction during the PoD first," he said.

ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif

The slow EIA of the Cepu Block has also been known by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif. He immediately communicated with the Bojonegoro Regional Government.

"We hope that this EIA will be issued soon. For this reason, we will communicate with the local government, "he said last weekend.

Arifin said that the Cepu Block has an important role in increasing national oil lifting production. Moreover, President Joko Widodo has assigned to boost national oil and gas lifting production. Therefore the EIA approval process is a door for hoisting the national oil lifting production. 

     Because the Cepu Block accounts for 30% of the national lifting. The point is this, how can we increase the lifting from the current one to go up a little more. To ride it does have to change the EIA again. So indeed for this EIA issue, we are asking the regions to be flexible, "he said.

Lifting Blok Rokan 2019 Lampaui Target

PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) mengungkapkan, realisasi lifting minyak Blok Rokan di 2019 melampaui target Work Plan and Budget (WP&B) yang disepakati bersama Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas). 

Adapun realisasi lifting minyak di Blok Rokan mencapai 190 ribu barel per hari (bph). Sementara target lifting minyak dalam WP&B 2019 ditetapkan sebesar 185.300 bph. 

Presiden Direktur CPI Albert Simanjuntak mengatakan realisasi lifting itu berasal dari reparasi atau well service dengan memanfaatkan teknologi baru sehingga produksi di blok Rokan tetap bisa optimal.

“2019 kami fokus lakukan workover dengan gunakan digital teknologi yaitu memilih kandidat-kandidat sumur yang dikerjakan dan meminimalisir downtime kita. Kami sangat bersyukur pendekatan yang dilakukan Alhamdulillah mampu melampaui rencana yang disetujui 102,5% dari WPNB,” kata Albert dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat dengan Komisi VII DPR di Jakarta.

Albert mengungkapkan sepanjang 2019 kemarin tidak melakukan pengeboran. Pasalnya kontrak CPI segera berakhir pada 8 Agustus 2021 mendatang. Dia menuturkan pengeboran terakhir kali dilakukan pada 2018 lalu sebanyak 89 sumur. 

Dengan berakhirnya kontrak pada 2021 mendatang maka pengeboran di Rokan dinilai tidak lagi ekonomis. Setelah lebih dari 50 tahun mengelola Blok Rokan, CPI telah mengebor lebih dari 100 lapangan minyak dan gas di Blok Rokan. 

Dikatakannya tanpa investasi pengeboran membuat target lifting WPNB di tahun ini lebih rendah dibandingkan 2019 kemarin. Optimalisasi injeksi sumur dilakukan untuk mencegah penurunan produksi terlalu drastis.

“Kami tidak melakukan pengeboran, waktu pengembalian investasi tidak cukup, target WP&B 2020 sebesar 161 ribu bph,” ujarnya.

Sementara itu Anggota Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) Maman Abdurrahman meminta penjelasan mengenai masa transisi pengelolaan Blok Rokan dari CPI ke Pertamina. Dia menyoroti upaya yang dilakukan agar produksi tidak turun drastis selama masa transisi serta ketika Pertamina mengambil alih di 2021 nanti.

“Bagaimana menjaga produksi. Siapa yang mengebor? Chevron mengeluarkan dana dulu atau bagaimana? Saya yakin Chevron tidak mau mengeluarkan duit,” ujarnya.

Albert menuturkan pihaknya berkoordinasi dengan SKK Migas dan Pertamina terkait masa transisi sejak 2019 kemarin. Dia menyebut ada tiga opsi yakni CPI yang mendanai serta melakukan pengeboran. Opsi kedua Pertamina yang mendanai serta melakukan pengeboran. Sedangkan opsi terakhir yakni dana dari Pertamina dan CPI yang mengebor. Namun hingga kini masih terus dilakukan pembahasan lantaran Blok Rokan menggunakan skema kontrak cost recovery.

“Reputasi kita ke depan menjaga agar produksi Rokan jangan sampai drop. Kami berkepentingan kerjasama degan pemerintah dan Pertamina sehingga drop dicegah jangan terlalu jauh,” ujarnya.

Lebih lanjut Albert mengungkapkan CPI mengalami kerugian mencapai Rp 23 miliar sepanjang 2019 lalu akibat aksi pencurian minyak. Modus pencurian dilakukan dengan cara membuat terowongan bawah tanah (tunnel) yang terhubung dengan pipa distribusi minyak. Modus ini biasa dikenal dengan ilegal tapping. Sepanjang 2019 kemarin tercatat 72 kasus ilegal tapping. Dari jumlah tersebut 55 kasus diantaranya berhasil diintervensi. Artianya pelaku ilegal tapping belum berhasil mencuri minyak.

“Kerugian kami berupa minyak yang dicuri, memperbaiki pipa yang dilubangi serta membersihkan tumpahan minyak, ujarnya.

Albert menuturkan pihaknya menjalin kerjasama dengan TNI-Polri dalam mencegah kegiatan pencurian minyak. Dia menjelaskan kerjasama dengan aparat keamanan itu sudah berlangsung selama ini dan terus diperbaharui setiap tahunnya.

“Perjanjian kerjasama kami lakukan dengan TNI-Polri karena pelaku ilegal tapping makin canggih,” tuturnya.

Analisis Dampak Lingkungan Blok Cepu

Sementara itu, Komisi VII DPR RI juga menyoroti permasalahan Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal) di Blok Cepu, Jawa Tengah. Izin Amdal itu hingga kini belum diterbitkan oleh Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro. 

     Namun jajaran Manajemen Exxon Mobile Cepu Limited belum mau membeberkan permasalahan terkait lambannya proses perizinan. Hal ini mengemuka dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat Komisi VII DPR dengan 10 Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (K3S).

Ketua Komisi VII DPR Ketua Komisi VII DPR Sugeng Suparwoto mengatakan Blok Cepu memiliki karakter unik lantaran terus mampu meningkatkan cadangan terbukti. Bahkan saat ini Blok Cepu menjadi tumpuan lifting minyak nasional.

“Unik Blok Cepu, dari Jaman Belanda baru saja  ketemu dengan terus menerus naik proven reserve menjadi 900 juta barel, luar biasa,” kata Sugeng di Jakarta.

Senior Vice President Exxon Mobil Cepu Muhammad Nurdin menerangkan, permasalahan Amdal masih dikoordinasikan dengan Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas). Dia enggan membeberkan permasalahan yang membuat proses perizinan terkatung-katung. Hanya menjelaskan telah memenuhi persyaratan yang dibutuhkan dalam pengajuan Amdal.

“ Sudah dilakukan high rate test dan diajukan sebagai dokumen Amdal revisi,” ujarnya.

Muhammad menerangkan revisi Amdal dilakukan lantaran kapasitas pabrik meningkat menjadi 235 ribu barel per hari (bph). Dalam Amdal sebelumnya kapasitas produksi hanya sebesar 220 ribu bph. 

Dia menegaskan peningkatan kapasitas itu berdasarkan serangkaian pengujian. Bahkan dalam dokumen Amdal pun telah dilampirkan aspek lingkungan dan emisi. Dalam rapat tersebut Muhammad mengungkapkan peningkatan cadangan terbukti lebih dari dua kali lipat dari sebelumnya. Cadangan terbukti itu mencapai 940 juta barel. Sementara sebelumnya dalam Plan Of Development (POD) terungkap cadangan migas sebesar 325 juta barel.

“Ini artinya peak lapangan akan lebih lama dari prediksi lapangan Banyu Urip saat PoD dulu,” ujarnya.

Lambannya Amdal Blok Cepu sudah diketahui juga oleh Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif. Pihaknya segera berkomunikasi dengan Pemerintah Daerah Bojonegoro.

“Kami harapkan Amdal ini segera dikeluarkan. Untuk itu kami akan melakukan komunikasi dengan Pemda,” ujarnya akhir pekan lalu.

Arifin menuturkan Blok Cepu memiliki peran penting dalam peningkatan produksi lifting minyak nasional. Apalagi Presiden Joko Widodo menugaskan untuk menggenjot produksi lifting migas nasional. Oleh sebab itu proses persetujuan Amdal menjadi pintu untuk mengerek produksi lifting minyak nasional. Pasalnya Blok Cepu menyumbang 30% dari lifting nasional. 

    Intinya kan ini bagaimana kita bisa meningkatkan lifting dari yang sekarang ada untuk naik sedikit lagi. Untuk naik itu memang harus merubah lagi Amdal. Jadi memang untuk isu Amdal ini, kita sedang minta daerah untuk bisa fleksibilitas,” tuturnya.

12 Projects Become Mainstay

The government is relying on 12 upstream oil and gas projects to increase production this year. The 12 projects are targeted to produce 7,200 barrels of oil per day and 520 million standard cubic feet of gas per day. Last year, the oil and gas production target was not reached. 

Arifin Tasrif

    According to the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif, there is the potential for additional oil and gas lifting production by 2020. Several oil and gas working areas this year have entered the production stage. In addition to the new work area, additional production is also obtained from the development of the old oil and gas working area.

"In recent years, oil and gas lifting has continued to fall. The reason is that the existing oil wells are old and their productivity is decreasing. We hope that there will be additional production through the development of existing wells and new wells, "Arifin said.

The 12 projects are located in Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan. The total investment for all projects is 1.4 billion US dollars, or around Rp 19 trillion. The overall production capacity is estimated at 7,200 barrels of oil per day and 520 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD). 

the Merakes Field

    Of all the projects, the Merakes Field in the East Sepinggan Block, East Kalimantan, is one of the fields with the largest gas production, which is 360 MMSCFD.

The application of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods will also be carried out this year. EOR uses water or chemical injection methods so that oil can be lifted out. This method is commonly applied in old wells whose productivity has decreased.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK oil and gas) Dwi Soetjipto said, this year there were two OER implementation projects in the form of trials and studies. The trial implementation of EOR will be conducted in the Sago, Gemah, Jatibarang, and Tanjung fields managed by PT Pertamina EP, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero). The EOR study will be applied in the Pedada field in Riau and Kaji -Semoga in South Sumatra.

"No doubt, a decline in oil and gas production. However, we are trying our hardest so that the rate of decline does not increase. As major projects begin to operate in the coming years, it is expected that oil and gas production will increase from 2022, "Dwi said.

In 2019, Indonesia's oil lifting is 746,000 barrels per day or less than the target of 775,000 barrels per day. The 2019 natural gas lifting as much as 1.06 million barrels of oil equivalent per day or below the target of 1.25 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. This year, the target of lifting oil is 755,000 barrels per day and natural gas is 1,191 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. The government is targeting oil production of 1 million barrels per day in 2030.

Pessimistic

In a hearing with oil and gas SKK last week, member of the House of Representatives Commission VII, Abdul Wahid, said he was pessimistic that the target of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day in 2030 could be achieved. He reflected on oil and gas production which has continued to decline in recent years. Likewise, the realization of a seismic survey to find new reserves that did not reach the target in 2019.

"It is unfortunate that oil and gas production continues to decline. Such conditions are still exacerbated by illegal oil theft which reaches 20,000 barrels per day. With the seismic survey target that was not achieved in 2019, I am pessimistic that 1 million barrels of oil per day can be achieved by 2030, "Wahid said.

Based on SKK oil and gas data, in 2019 new sources of oil and gas reserves were found from 16 projects throughout Indonesia. New oil reserves were found at 384 million barrels and natural gas at 4.54 trillion cubic feet. The biggest finding in the Sakakemang Block in South Sumatra is 327 million barrels of oil equivalent.

12 Proyek Menjadi Andalan

Pemerintah mengandalkan 12 proyek hulu minyak dan gas bumi untuk menambah produksi pada tahun ini. Ke-12 proyek itu ditargetkan dapat menghasilkan 7.200 barel minyak per hari dan gas 520 juta standar kaki kubik per hari. Tahun lalu, target produksi minyak dan gas bumi tidak tercapai. 

    Menurut Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif, ada potensi penambahan produksi siap jual (lifting) minyak dan gas bumi pada 2020. Beberapa wilayah kerja minyak dan gas tahun ini sudah memasuki tahap produksi. Selain wilayah kerja baru, penambahan produksi juga diperoleh dari hasil pengembangan wilayah kerja minyak dan gas yang lama.

”Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, liftng minyak dan gas terus turun. Penyebabnya, sumur-sumur minyak yang ada berusia tua dan produktivitasnya menurun. Kami berharap ada penambahan produksi lewat pengembangan sumur yang ada dan dan sumur yang baru,” kata Arifin.

Ke-12 proyek tersebut berlokasi di Sumatera, Jawa, dan Kalimantan. Total investasi untuk seluruh proyek 1,4 miliar dollar AS atau sekitar Rp 19 triliun. Adapun kapasitas produksi secara keseluruhan diperkirakan 7.200 barel minyak per hari dan gas 520 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD). Dari seluruh proyek itu, Lapangan Merakes di Blok East Sepinggan, Kalimantan Timur, merupakan salah satu lapangan dengan produksi gas terbesar, yaitu 360 MMSCFD. 

Penerapan metode pengurasan minyak tingkat lanjut  atau (enhanced oil recovery/EOR) juga akan dilakukan tahun ini. EOR menggunakan metode penyuntikan air atau dengan bahan kimia agar minyak dapat terangkat keluar. Cara ini lazim diterapkan di sumur-sumur tua yang produktivitasnya menurun.

Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK minyak dan gas) Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan, tahun ini ada dua proyek penerapan OER berupa uji coba dan kajian. Uji coba penerapan EOR akan dilakukan di lapangan Sago, Gemah, Jatibarang, dan Tanjung yang dikelola PT Pertamina EP anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero). Adapun kajian EOR akan diterapkan di lapangan Pedada di Riau dan Kaji-Semoga di Sumatera Selatan.

”Tidak dimungkiri, terjadi penurunan produksi minyak dan gas. Akan tetapi, kami berusaha sekuat tenaga agar tingkat penurunannya tidak membesar. Seiring mulai beroperasinya proyek-proyek besar di beberapa tahun mendatang, diharapkan produksi minyak dan gas meningkat mulai 2022” kata Dwi.

Sepanjang 2019, Iifting minyak Indonesia 746.000 barel per hari atau kurang dari target 775.000 barel per hari. Adapun lifting gas bumi 2019 sebanyak 1,06 juta barel setara minyak per hari atau di bawah target 1,25 juta barel setara minyak per hari. Tahun ini, target lifting minyak sebanyak 755.000 barel per hari dan gas bumi 1,191 juta barel setara minyak per hari. Pemerintah menargetkan produksi minyak 1 juta barel per hari pada 2030.

Pesimistis

Dalam rapat dengar pendapat dengan SKK minyak dan gas pada pekan lalu, anggota Komisi VII DPR, Abdul Wahid, mengatakan pesimistis target produksi minyak 1 juta barel per hari pada 2030 dapat tercapai. Ia berkaca pada produksi minyak dan gas yang terus merosot dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Begitu pula dengan realisasi survei seismik untuk mencari smnber cadangan baru yang tidak mencapai target pada 2019.

”Sangat disayangkan produksi minyak dan gas terus menurun. Kondisi seperti itu masih diperburuk dengan pencurian minyak secara ilegal yang mencapai 20.000 barel per hari. Dengan target survei seismik yang tidak tercapai pada 2019, saya pesimistis 1 juta barel minyak per hari bisa dicapai pada 2030,” kata Wahid.

Berdasarkan data SKK minyak dan gas, pada 2019 ditemukan sumber cadangan minyak dan gas baru dari 16 proyek di seluruh Indonesia. Cadangan baru minyak yang ditemukan sebanyak 384 juta barel dan gas bumi sebanyak 4,54 triliun kaki kubik. Temuan terbesar di Blok Sakakemang di Sumatera Selatan sebesar 327 juta barel setara minyak.

Pursue the Target of Oil and Gas Lifting

The realization of oil and gas lifting last year missed the target. During 2019, the realization of oil and gas lifting only reached 90.5 percent or 1.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). 

   In fact, the target in the 2019 State Budget (APBN) reaches 2.025 million BOEPD. This year, the government set oil and gas lifting 1,946 million BOEPD with details of 755 thousand from oil and 1.191 million from gas.

Arifin Tasrif 

Although declining compared to last year, this year's target is considered very high. ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif is optimistic that this year's target will be achieved. He said, Indonesia still had a big opportunity to increase lifting or production-ready to sell oil and gas by working on new fields and developing the existing Work Areas (WK).

"Right now we are working on developing new sources of oil and gas," Arifin said in Jakarta.

Arifin acknowledged natural processes such as amount and time resulted in the decline of oil and gas production in the last decade. The condition was a big task when he was appointed by President Joko Widodo to solve the problem.

"The most important thing is how to increase oil and gas lifting because indeed in recent years our production has declined," he said.

At present, the government has entrusted Pertamina as a state-owned company to manage several WKs whose contracts have ended. Arifin revealed optimism regarding the achievement of the oil and gas lifting target that was seen from the 12 projects targeted to apply this year.

Petronas Carigali Ketapang III Ltd

The 12 projects include, among others, Bukit Tua Pashe-3 by Petronas Carigali Ketapang III Ltd with a production capacity of 31.5 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd). 

Blogger Agus Purnomo in Petronas Carigali Ketapang

    Currently, the operator is in the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) stage. The project is scheduled for production in January 2020. Then, there is a Grati Pressure Lowering project undertaken by Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd with a production capacity of 30 mmscfd.

The current stage is the work of the EPC and is scheduled to produce in March 2020. Furthermore, there is a Buntal-5 project that Medco Energy works on and is scheduled to produce in March 2020.

Similar to Bukit Tua Pashe-3, the project was initially listed as onstream last year but was forced to be unable to operate. This happened because the rig for drilling the project did not arrive immediately because it was still used in Vietnam.

In addition, the government plans to implement a number of strategies by providing incentives to oil and gas business entities to accelerate 42 oil and gas field development / POD plans. Next also encourages the use of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology and legalizes the management of old wells by the community even though the production is small.

"Through SKK Migas, the government also opened a One Door Service Policy (ODSP) service to realize the target of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day by 2030," he added.

Kejar Target Lifting Migas

Realisasi lifting migas tahun lalu meleset dari target. Sepanjang 2019, realisasi lifting migas hanya mencapai 90,5 persen atau 1,8 juta barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD). Padahal, target dalam Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) 2019 mencapai 2,025 juta BOEPD. Tahun ini, pemerintah menetapkan lifting migas 1,946 juta BOEPD dengan perincian 755 ribu dari minyak dan 1,191 juta dari gas. 

Meski menurun dibandingkan tahun lalu, target tahun ini dinilai sangat tinggi. Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif optimistis target tahun ini akan tercapai. Dia menuturkan, Indonesia masih punya peluang besar meningkatkan lifting atau produksi siap jual minyak dan gas bumi dengan mengerjakan ladang baru serta mengembangkan Wilayah Kerja (WK) eksisting.

”Sekarang ini kita sedang mengupayakan supaya ada pengembangan sumber-sumber minyak dan gas baru," kata Arifin di Jakarta.

Arifin mengakui proses alamiah seperti jumlah dan waktu mengakibatkan terjadinya penuruman produksi migas dalam dekade terakhir. Kondisi itu menjadi tugas besar ketika dirinya ditunjuk Presiden Joko Widodo untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut.

"Hal yang paling utama adalah bagaimana bisa meningkatkan lifting migas karena memang dalam beberapa tahun ini produksi kita menurun,” ujarnya.

Saat ini, pemerintah memercayakan kepada Pertamina selaku perusahaan milik negara untuk mengelola beberapa WK yang sudah berakhir masa kontraknya. Arifin mengungkapkan, optimisme terhadap capaian target lifting migas tersebut terlihat dari 12 proyek yang ditargetkan berlaku tahun ini. 

Ke-12 proyek tersebut, antara lain, Bukit Tua Pashe-3 yang dikerjakan Petronas Carigali Ketapang III Ltd dengan kapasitas produksi 31,5 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (mmscfd). Saat ini operator dalam tahapan pengerjaan engineering, procurement, dan construction (EPC). Proyek tersebut dijadwalkan berproduksi Januari 2020. Kemudian, ada proyek Grati Pressure Lowering yang dikerjakan Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd dengan kapasitas fasilitas produksi 30 mmscfd.

Tahapan saat ini adalah pengerjaan EPC dan dijadwalkan berproduksi pada Maret 2020. Selanjutnya, ada proyek Buntal-5 yang dikerjakan Medco Energi dan dijadwalkan berproduksi pada Maret 2020. 

Sama dengan Bukit Tua Pashe-3, awalnya proyek tersebut masuk daftar onstream tahun lalu, tetapi terpaksa tidak dapat beroperasi. Hal itu terjadi lantaran rig untuk pengeboran proyek tidak segera datang karena masih digunakan di Vietnam. 

Di samping itu, pemerintah berencana menjalankan sejumlah strategi dengan memberikan insentif kepada Badan Usaha (BU) minyak dan gas untuk mempercepat 42 rencana pengembangan/POD lapangan minyak dan gas. Berikutnya juga mendorong penggunaan teknologi Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) serta melegalkan pengelolaan sumur tua oleh masyarakat meski produksinya sedikit.

”Melalui SKK Migas, pemerintah juga membuka layanan One Door Service Policy (ODSP) untuk merealisasikan target produksi minyak 1 juta barel per hari pada 2030,” imbuhnya.

DPR ‘knows’ Oil and gas mafia: Pertamina boss certainly knows

PT Pertamina (Persero) officials are believed to recognize oil and gas, mafia perpetrators. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) was also advised to eradicate the oil and gas mafia through Pertamina's bosses. House of Representatives Commission VII member Dr. Ir Kardaya Warnika DEA assessed the practice of oil and gas mafia can actually be felt. But to find its existence is fairly difficult.

"When it comes to the oil and gas mafia, I always say it smells like a fart, smells, but if you look at it, someone who farts is difficult, but it feels there," he said.

oil and gas mafia

According to Kardaya, the practice of oil and gas mafia is difficult to investigate because most of them act in accordance with existing regulations. But they take advantage of the gaps in the applicable provisions.

"The oil and gas mafia sees an opportunity if the purchase of oil feels more expensive than it should be, well that is a sign. Actually, the oil and gas mafia is hard to see because they work according to the regulations, so it's legal. But they are exploiting loopholes in existing regulations, "he added.

He gave an example, for example, there are oil and gas projects that are participated by several companies. If traced it turns out that the parent of the holding companies participating in the tender is one party. With such a practice, Kardaya believes Pertamina officials as the BUMN and the largest oil and gas company in Indonesia know and are familiar with oil and gas mafia players.

"Actually, the Pertamina boss certainly knows that. They, oil and gas mafia usually have good relations with Pertamina officials, "he said.

Therefore, he suggested Jokowi summon Pertamina officials. Forced to stop the practice of oil and gas mafia then threaten to be removed from his position if it is not done.

"The president has said first he wants to eradicate the mafia. Secondly, he says he knows who is playing, in my opinion just call it Managing Director with Pertamina's Chief Commissioner. No need to talk out, I know this is someone who plays, I do not want to know this practice must be lost, if it does not disappear then sanctions will be removed, "he explained.

"Because the official was afraid of only one, namely losing his position, by God alone the official was not afraid, after being sworn in the official did something strange," Kardaya concluded.

Evidence of the Mafia Oil and gas refineries were not immediately built

Previously, according to a count of the official governance reform team led by Faisal Basri when dismantling the official mafia practices in 2014-2015 in Petral's body, it was known that oil importers could get USD 1 to USD 3 from each barrel of oil imports into Indonesia. This is Evidence There is an oil and gas mafia.

The President Jokowi

Regarding the oil and gas mafia, the Jokowi government is now again making efforts to eradicate it. So what is the proof that the oil and gas mafia is still hanging around? Energy Economics Observer from Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Fahmy Radhi said, one proof of the oil and gas mafia was the absence of oil and gas refinery development.

Saudi Aramco

"There is a systemic effort blocking the construction of refineries. It was also complained by Jokowi, Pertamina had not built a refinery in 35 years, even though there were also many investors such as Saudi Aramco, there was Russian Rosneft, there was OOG (Overseas Oil & Gas) Oman, it had been in the framework of signing a framework agreement, but until now there were none which can be realized, "he said.

Rosneft

Fahmi who was once the Anti-Mafia Oil and Gas Team which was once chaired by Faisal Basri, believes that the oil and gas mafia is closely related to imports. They can continue to live if Indonesia continues to import oil and gas, so they do various ways to prevent it.

"So if based on our findings first, then looking at current symptoms, one of the indicators is indeed an increase in oil and gas imports, and the oil and gas mafia playing in the import route earlier, hunting rent in imports" he added.

The amount of oil and gas imports has indeed become Jokowi's concern. The President claimed to have known the name of the mastermind behind the import of oil and gas which reached 800 thousand barrels per day.

DPR ‘Tahu’ Mafia Migas: Bos Pertamina Pasti Tahu

Para petinggi PT Pertamina (Persero) diyakini mengenali para pelaku mafia minyak dan gas. Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) pun disarankan memberantas mafia migas melalui para bos Pertamina. Anggota Komisi VII DPR Dr Ir Kardaya Warnika DEA menilai praktik mafia migas sebenarnya bisa dirasakan. Namun untuk mencari keberadaannya memang terbilang sulit.

“Kalau tentang mafia minyak dan gas itu saya selalu mengatakan ini seperti bau kentut, tercium tapi kalau dilihat siapa yang kentut susah, tapi dirasakan ada,” ujarnya.

Menurut Kardaya, praktik mafia minyak dan gas sulit diselidik lantaran kebanyakan dari mereka beraksi mengikuti peraturan yang ada. Namun mereka memanfaatkan celah-celah dari ketentuan yang berlaku.

“Mafia minyak dan gas ini melihat peluang kalau pembelian minyak terasa lebih mahal dari yang semestinya, nah itulah tanda-tandanya. Sebetulnya mafia minyak dan gas ini susah dilihat karena mereka bekerja mengikuti peraturan ketentuan, ya legal saja. Tapi mereka memanfaatkan celah-celah dari peraturan yang ada,” tambahnya.

Dia mencontohkan, misalnya ada proyek minyak dan gas yang diikuti oleh beberapa perusahaan. Jika ditelusuri ternyata induk dari induk perusahaan-perusahaan yang ikut tender merupakan satu pihak. Dengan praktik seperti itu, Kardaya yakin petinggi Pertamina selaku BUMN dan perusahaan migas terbesar di Indonesia tahu dan kenal dengan para pelaku mafia minyak dan gas.

“Sebetulnya bos Pertamina pasti tahu itu. Mereka mafia minyak dan gas biasanya mempunyai hubungan yang baik dengan petinggi Pertamina,” tutur dia.

Oleh karena itu dia menyarankan Jokowi untuk memanggil para petinggi Pertamina. Paksa untuk menyetop praktik mafia minyak dan gas lalu ancam copot dari jabatannya jika itu tidak dilakukan.

“Presiden sudah mengatakan pertama dia ingin memberantas mafia. Kedua dia mengatakan dia tahu siapa yang bermain, menurut saya ya tinggal panggil saja

Direktur Utama bersama Komisaris Utama Pertamina. Tidak perlu bicara keluar, saya tahu ini orang yang bermain, saya tidak mau tahu praktik ini harus hilang, kalau tidak hilang maka sanksinya ya dicopot,” terangnya.

“Karena pejabat itu takutnya hanya satu, yaitu kehilangan jabatan, dengan tuhan saja pejabat tidak takut, setelah disumpah pejabat itu melakukan hal aneh-aneh,” tutup Kardaya.

Bukti Mafia Minyak dan gas, kilang tidak segera dibangun

Sebelumnya menurut hitungan tim reformasi tata kelola pejabat yang dipimpin Faisal Basri sewaktu membongkar praktik mafia pejabat pada 2014-2015 lalu di tubuh Petral, diketahui para importir minyak ini bisa mendapatkan USD 1 sampai USD 3 dari tiap barel impor minyak ke Indonesia. Ini Bukti Ada Mafia minyak dan gas. 

Terkait mafia minyak dan gas kini pemerintahan Jokowi kembali melakukan upaya untuk memberantasnya. Lantas apa buktinya mafia minyak dan gas masih berkeliaran? Pengamat Ekonomi Energi dari Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Fahmy Radhi mengatakan, salah satu bukti adanya mafia minyak dan gas adalah tidak adanya pembangunan kilang minyak dan gas.

“Ada upaya sistemik menghalangi pembangunan kilang. Itu kan dikeluhkan Jokowi juga, sudah 35 tahun Pertamina tidak membangun kilang, padahal banyak juga investor seperti Saudi Aramco, ada Rosneft Rusia, ada OOG (Overseas Oil & Gas) Oman itu sudah dalam tahap penandatanganan framework agreement, tapi sampai sekarang tidak ada satu pun yang bisa direalisasikan,” tuturnya.

Fahmi yang pernah menjadi Tim Anti Mafia minyak dan gas yang pernah diketuai oleh Faisal Basri, meyakini mafia minyak dan gas erat kaitannya dengan impor. Mereka bisa hidup terus jika Indonesia masih terus impor minyak dan gas, oleh karena itu mereka melakukan berbagai cara untuk menghalanginya.

“Jadi kalau berdasarkan pada hasil temuan kami dulu, kemudian melihat gejala sekarang ini, salah satu indikatornya memang peningkatan impor minyak dan gas, dan mafia minyak dan gas bermain di jalur impor tadi, berburu rente di impor" tambahnya.

Besarnya impor minyak dan gas memang sudah menjadi perhatian Jokowi. Presiden mengaku sudah mengetahui nama dalang di balik impor minyak dan gas yang mencapai 800 ribu barel per hari.

Pertamina EP Relies on the EOR Method

PT Pertamina EP (PEP) claims to successfully exceed the 2019 oil and gas lifting target. This subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) promises oil and gas production in 2020 will be even greater with the support of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and reactivation of old wells.

PEP recorded the realization of lifting oil in 2019 and amounted to 82,213 barrels of oil per day (bopd) from the target of 82,190 bopd. While the gas production is 959 mmscfd from the 749 mmscfd targets.

From the financial side, PEP's net profit reached the US $ 634 million with EBITDA of US $ 1,821 million. PT Pertamina EP President Director Nanang Abdul Manaf explained that his party would spur oil and gas production in 2020 to pursue a bigger target. The target is to lift 85,000 bopd of oil and gas by 932 mmscfd. One of PEP's strategies to spur production is to continue implementing EOR technology in several oil and gas fields.

"In Tanjung Field (South Kalimantan), the chemical EOR polymer has been implemented. In Rantau (Aceh), the implementation of polymer also started this year," he said.

The implementation of EOR in Tanjung Field is expected to be completed this year. In addition, the field trials at the Jirak, Ramba, and Belimbing fields will be completed in 2021. PEP is also preparing waterflood applications in three other fields namely Jirak, Ramba, and Belimbing.

"Studies are still being carried out on dozens of other fields," said Nanang.

Implementation of the waterflood and EOR patterns will optimize oil production and increase reserves. The application of EOR is expected to be able to increase production by 5% to 10%.

"Additional production (confirmed) after the full-scale stage is complete," explained Nanang.

PEP is targeting to drill 108 development wells this year. PEP will also reactivate old wells.

"We have tried, but for Pertamina EP it is not economical," Nanang said.

PEP will collaborate with regionally owned enterprises (BUMD) as has been done in Cepu, Blora, Sekayu, and Pali. Reactivation efforts include 200 wells with an average potential of 10 bopd per well.

"The wells are long-abandoned ones. It is estimated that investment per well starts from the US $ 100,000 to the US $ 1 million or the US $ 2 million," Nanang said. For reactivation of old wells. The PEP must partner with Regional Government Enterprises (BUMD).

Pertamina EP Mengandalkan Metode EOR

PT Pertamina EP (PEP) mengklaim berhasil melampaui target lifting minyak dan gas tahun 2019. Anak usaha PT Pertamina (Persero) ini menjanjikan produksi minyak dan gas tahun 2020 akan Iebih besar lagi dengan dukungan metode enchanced oil recovery (EOR) dan reaktivasi sumur tua.

PEP mencatatkan realisasi lifting minyak tahun 2019 lalu sebesar 82.213 barrel oil per day (bopd) dari target 82.190 bopd. Sedangkan produlsi gas sebesar 959 mmscfd dari target 749 mmscfd. 

Dari sisi keuangan, laba bersih PEP mencapai US$ 634juta dengan EBITDA sebesar US$ 1.821 juta. Presiden Direktur PT Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf menjelaskan pihaknya akan memacu produlsi minyak dan gas tahun 2020 ini untuk mengejar target yang Iebih besar. Target lifting minyak 85.000 bopd dan gas sebesar 932 mmscfd. Salah satu strategi PEP untuk memacu produksi adalah tetap menerapkan teknologi EOR di beberapa lapangan minyak dan gas.

"Di Lapangan Tanjung (Kalimantan Selatan) sudah mengimplementasikan chemical EOR polymer. Di Rantau (Aceh) mulai implementasi polymer juga tahun ini,"katanya. 

Penerapan EOR pada Lapangan Tanjung diharapkan rampung pada tahun ini. Selain itu, field trial pada Lapangan Jirak, Ramba dan Belimbing akan rampung pada tahun 2021 mendatang. PEP juga sedang menyiapkan penerapan waterflood pada tiga lapangan lain yakni Jirak, Ramba dan Belimbing.

"Studi masih dilakukan pada puluhan Iapangan Iainnya,” ujar Nanang.

lmplementasi pattern waterflood dan EOR akan mengoptimalkan produksi minyak dan penambahan cadangan. Penerapan EOR diharapkan mampu memberikan peningkatan produksi sebesar 5% hingga 10%. 

"Tambahan produksi (dipastikan) setelah tahapan full scale selesai," terang Nanang.

PEP menargetkan pengeboran 108 sumur pengembangan pada tahun ini. PEPjuga akan reaktivasi sumur tua. 

“Sudah kami upayakan, tapi untuk Pertamina EP tidak ekonomis,” kata Nanang.

PEP akan menjalin kerjasama dengan badan usaha milik daerah (BUMD) seperti yang telah dilakukan di Cepu, Blora, Sekayu dan Pali. Upaya reaktivasi antara lain terhadap 200-an sumur dengan potensi rata-rata 10 bopd per sumur. 

"Sumur-sumur itu adalah yang sudah lama ditinggalkan. Diperkirakan, investasi per sumur mulai dari US$ 100.000 hingga US$ 1 juta atau US$ 2 juta," ujar Nanang. Untuk reaktivasi sumur tua. PEP harus menggandeng Badan Usaha Milik Daerah (BUMD).
