Fresh Breeze For Contractors

The government insists that the scheme gross production sharing split brings fresh air to the production activities of oil and gas. Through the scheme of production sharing contract (production sharing contract / PSC) gross split, the government and the contractor immediately divide their share.

The government will get the results as well as taxes from upstream activities without the operating costs and investment incurred contractors to produce oil and gas. Meanwhile, the PSC cost recovery scheme, the government should bear the cost of oil and gas production. For example, Chevron Pacific Indonesia in Rokan Block oil and gas producing 102.645 million barrels of oil equivalent with a value of US $ 4.986 billion. From the results of the production, the government pays the cost recovery of US $ 2.034 billion, the revenues of US $ 2.736 billion, while Chevron earned $ 214 million.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources said Ignatius Jonan, upstream oil and gas industry is difficult to operate efficiently with the pattern of production sharing contract cost recovery. Because, in this scheme, the cooperation contract (PSC) does not have to take into account the operating costs incurred for all costs related to production will be reimbursed by the government. To that end, the new contract will be applied to oil and gas blocks scheme gross revenue share split so that the government will not be charged for the management of upstream oil and gas operations which have been operating for more than 30 years.

Based on data from the Ministry of Energy, the cost of oil production in the country by 20 KKKS varies with fairly wide gap of US $ 7.05 to US $ 37.99 per barrel. Jonan explained, with a gap width of the production costs, the contractor should be able to compete in order to be able to produce oil at low cost. The competition will be created if the scheme gross revenue share split is used.

Jonan it believes the pattern of gross split would attract investment in upstream oil and gas sector, there are opportunities for greater benefit if contractors operate efficiently.

Angin Segar Bagi Kontraktor

Pemerintah menegaskan bahwa skema bagi hasil produksi gross split membawa angin segar bagi kegiatan produksi minyak dan gas bumi. Melalui skema kontrak bagi hasil produksi (production sharing contract/PSC) gross split, pemerintah dan kontraktor langsung membagi bagiannya masing-masing.

Pemerintah akan mendapatkan bagi hasil juga pajak dari kegiatan hulu tanpa menanggung biaya operasi dan investasi yang dikeluarkan kontraktor untuk menghasilkan minyak dan gas. Sementara itu, dalam skema PSC cost recovery, pemerintah harus menanggung biaya produksi migas. Sebagai contoh, Chevron Pacific Indonesia di Blok Rokan memproduksi migas 102,645 juta barel setara minyak dengan nilai US$4,986 miliar. Dari hasil produksi itu, pemerintah membayar cost recovery US$2,034 miliar, pendapatan negara US$2,736 miliar, sedangkan Chevron meraih US$ 214 juta.

Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Ignasius Jonan mengatakan, industri hulu migas sulit untuk beroperasi secara efisien dengan pola kontrak bagi hasil cost recovery. Pasalnya, pada skema tersebut, kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) tak perlu memperhitungkan biaya operasi yang dikeluarkan karena semua biaya yang terkait produksi akan diganti pemerintah. Untuk itu, bagi kontrak baru blok migas akan diterapkan skema bagi hasil gross split agar pemerintah tak dibebankan biaya operasi atas pengelolaan hulu migas yang telah beroperasi lebih dari  30 tahun.

Berdasarkan data Kementerian ESDM, biaya produksi minyak di Tanah Air oleh 20 KKKS bervariasi dengan gap cukup lebar   yaitu US$7,05-US$ 37,99   per barel. Jonan menjelaskan, dengan gap biaya produksi yang lebar itu, kontraktor seharusnya dapat berkompetisi agar mampu menghasilkan minyak dengan biaya rendah. Kompetisi itu akan tercipta jika skema bagi hasil gross split yang digunakan.

Jonan justru meyakini pola gross split bakal menarik minat investasi di sektor hulu migas, karena terdapat peluang mendapat keuntungan lebih besar jika kontraktor beroperasi secara efisien.
