Saudi Aramco, perusahaan minyak milik Arab Saudi, melepas komitmen untuk bermitra dengan PT Pertamina dalam proyek penambahan kapasitas atau revitalisasi Kilang Balongan di Jawa Barat dan Kilang Dumai di Riau. Direktur Megaproyek Kilang dan Petrokimia Pertamina Rachmad Hardadi mengatakan, kesepakatan atau head of agreement (HOA) dengan Aramco terkait proyek penambahan kapasitas Kilang Balongan dan Kilang Dumai tidak diperpanjang.
Hardadi menyebut pihaknya harus melakukan kajian apakah akan melanjutkan proyek sendiri seperti pada Kilang Balikpapan atau mencari mitra baru. Dia menyebut beberapa faktor pertimbangan seperti waktu penyelesaian dan aspek finansial. “HoA antara Saudi Aramco untuk Balongan dan Dumai sudah berakhir 26 November 2016,” ujarnya usai jumpa pers pembentukan perusahaan patungan Pertamina dan Aramco dalam proyek Kilang Cilacap, Kamis (22/ 12).
Pertamina meminta revitalisasi Kilang Balongan dan Dumai harus selesai pada September 2019. Dia menargetkan, penambahan kapasitas Kilang Balongan bisa diselesaikan pada akhir 2019 atau paling lambat pada pertengahan 2020 kendati rencana awal selesai pada 2023. Pasokan nafta ke Kilang Balongan berpotensi terganggu karena bahan baku itu diserap oleh Kilang Balikpapan. Oleh karena itu, proses penambahan kapasitas Kilang Balongan yang berlokasi di Indramayu itu harus cepat diselesaikan.
Proyek peningkatan kapasitas Kilang Balongan dari 125.000 barel per hari (bph) menjadi 280.000 bph membutuhkan biaya sekitar US$2,7 miliar. Sementara itu, proyek penambahan kapasitas Kilang Dumai dari 175.000 bph menjadi 300.000 bph membutuhkan biaya US$4,2 miliar. Namun, Pertamina akan menghitung kembali nilai investasi yang dibutuhkan dalam proyek tersebut.
Pada 2017, untuk kegiatan akusisi aset hulu di iuar negeri seperti di Iran dan Rusia juga proyek di sektor pengolahan seperti Kilang Balikpapan, Kilang Tuban, Kilang Baiongan, dan Kilang Tuban, perseroan sudah mengalokasikan belanja modal US$5 miliar-US$6 miliar. “Nanti kami lihat. Jadi gini, kalau ternyata Pertamina bisa run (bekerja) dengan our capability [kemampuan internal, tentu tidak perlu mencari partner (pengganti Aramcol)," katanya.
Dalam kesempatan yang sama, Direktur Utama Saudi Aramco Amin Nasser mengatakan, pihaknya masih menaruh minat terhadap proyek Kilang Dumai dan Kilang Balongan. Namun, pihaknya perlu melakukan kajian terlebih dahulu yang diperkirakan tuntas pada 2017. Menurutnya, Indonesia menjadi salah satu tujuan investasi di sektor pengolahan selain China dan Malaysia. “Kami akan melihat kemungkinan di Dumai dan Balongan,” katanya. Direktur Utama Pertamina Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan, pihaknya telah mengukuhkan kemitraan dengan Saudi Aramco untuk menambah kapasitas Kilang Cilacap dari 348.00 bph menjadi 400.000 bph.
Pertamina dan Aramco menandatangani kesepakatan kerja sama untuk membentuk perusahaan patungan di proyek Kilang Cilacap. Setelah memperpanjang head of agreement (HOA) sebanyak dua kali, tutur Dwi, empat poin telah disepakati sejak akhir November 2016. Empat poin yang telah disepakati yakni terkait pasokan minyak mentah, kontrol manajemen, lifting, dan valuasi aset Kilang Cilacap. Dengan kesepakatan tersebut, pihaknya pun optimistis proyek bisa berjalan bahkan dipercepat.
Untuk menyelesaikan proyek lebih cepat, pihaknya harus memulai persiapan iahan pada 2017 yang dilanjutkan dengan tahap pendefinisian proyek selama setahun. Kemudian, kata Dwi, konstruksi fisik dilakukan pada 2019. “Awalnya proyek ini selesai 2022, tetapi dalam rapat terakhir, CEO Saudi Aramco Amin Nasser menantang tim dan commit untuk menyelesaikan di 2021,” ujarnya. Revitalisasi Kilang Cilacap butuh investasi US$ 5 miliar yang nantinya akan dibagi sesuai dengan kepemilikan saham. Pertamina menguasai 55% dan Aramco 15%. Pasokan minyak mentah akan didatangkan Aramco sebanyak 270.000 bph.
Sisanya, yakni sekitar 130.000 bph akan dipasok Pertamina. Melalui proyek tersebut, Kilang Cilacap akan menghasilkan tambahan produk berupa gasolin (Premium, Pertalite, dan seri Pertamax) 80.000 bph, solar 60.000 bph dan avtur 40.000 bph dengan standar emisi Euro 5. Selain itu, unit produksi bahan bakar minyak pun akan terhubung dengan unit produksi pelumas dan petrokimia.
