Pada kesempatan ini, Presiden Jokowi menyambut baik ditanda-tanganinya Refining Development Masterplan Program (RDMP) Cilacap antara PT Pertamina dan Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Aramco) senilai US$ 6 miliar. Presiden Jokowi akan mendorong kedua perusahaan itu membentuk basic engineering design dan pembentukan joint venture.

Pada pertemuan yang berlangsung dalam suasana penuh keakraban, kedua pemimpin juga membahas sejumlah proyek, yang ditawarkan Pemerintah Indonesia. Proyek-proyek yang ditawarkan Pemerintah Indonesia, antara lain, proyek refining development masterplan program di Dumai, Balongan, dan Bontang senilai total US$ 14 miliar. Selain itu, proyek pembangunan Pembangkit Iistrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) Mulut Tambang di Jambi, pembangunan infrastruktur, jalan raya, water resources, drinking water, sanitasi, dan perumahan. 

“Proyek-proyek tersebut disambut baik Raja Arab Saudi dan menyatakan segera mengirim tim untuk menindaklanjuti apa yang dibahas dengan Presiden Jokowi," kata Menlu. Di sisi lain, Presiden Jokowi akan mengirim para menteri terkait ke Arab Saudi untuk menindaklanjuti kerja sama kedua negara.

Menteri Koordinator bidang Perekonomian Darmin Nasution sebelumnya mengatakan, kedatangan Raja Salman pada 1-9 Maret sangat erat kaitannya dengan investasi. Dia memperkirakan ada tambahan investasi sekitar Rp 300 triliun, termasuk investasi kilang minyak Saudi Aramco di Cilacap senilai US$ 6 miliar.

Arab Saudi yang berpenduduk 33 juta jiwa memiliki PDB sebesar US$ 2,145 triliun atau ke-13 terbesar di dunia dengan PDB per kapita US$ 65.000 atau kesepuluh terbesar di dunia. Angkatan kerjanya berdasarkan data 2009 mencapai 7,63 juta orang. Namun, sekitar 80% tenaga kerja di sektor jasa berasal dari luar negeri. 

11 Kesepakatan

Pada pertemuan itu, Presiden Jokowi dan Raja Salman juga menyaksikan penandatanganan 11 kesepakatan, di antaranya, kerja sama perdagangan, (kesehatan, kelautan dan perikanan, dan peningkatan level sidang Komisi Bersama.

Kerja sama Indonesia dengan Arab Saudi sejauh ini baru menyangkut proyek perbaikan dan peningkatan kapasitas (upgrading) Kilang Cilacap diwakili perusahaan migas nasional masing-masing negara, yakni PT Pertamina dan Saudi Aramco. Pada Desember lalu, kedua perusahaan telah sepakat membentuk perusahaan patungan untuk menggarap proyek senilai US$ 5 miliar itu. Proyek ini ditargetkan selesai pada 2021.

Masih termasuk dalam proyek Kilang Cilacap, Saudi Aramco juga memiliki hak untuk memasok minyak mentah untuk kilang ini. Dari kebutuhan total 400 ribu bare] per hari (bph), jatah Saudi Aramco disepakati 70%, sementara sisanya akan dicarikan Pertamina dari sumber lain. Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja mengharapkan investasi dari Arab Saudi bisa masuk ke sektor energi Indonesia. Dari sektor hulu migas, Indonesia sangat terbuka jika Saudi Aramco selaku perusahaan migas milik pemerintah Arab Saudi, masuk mengelola blok di sini.

“Namun, kami lebih berharap Pertamina bisa diberikan lapangan di sana, akuisisi ladang minyak di sana. Kalau itu diberikan, cadangannya (blok migas yang bisa diakuisisi Pertamina di Arab Saudi), bisa menjadi cadangan nasional,” kata dia dalam pertemuan dengan media di Jakarta, Rabu (1/3).

Potensi kerja sama lain, adalah terkait pembentukan cadangan minyak strategis (strategic petroleum reserve/SPR) nasional. Indonesia ingin bekerja sama dengan Arab Saudi untuk mewujudkan cadangan ini, selain menjajaki juga dengan Iran dan Kuwait. Nantinya, Saudi Aramco dapat menaruh minyaknya di Indonesia untuk pasarnya di Asia Pasitik. “Kami sedang memproses Perpres (peraturan presiden) soal SPR ini. Harapannya sesegera mungkin terbit," ujar Wiralmaja.

Selain itu, Pertamina berharap dapat membeli langsung liquefed petroleum gas/LPG dari Saudi Aramco. Menurut Senior Vice President Integrated Supply Chain Daniel Purba, selama ini Indonesia sudah mengambil LPG dari Arab Saudi, namun tidak langsung membeli dari Saudi Aramco. Pembelian langsung selama ini hanya untuk minyak mentah dengan volume 110 ribu bph melalui kontrak jangka panjang.

Hal yang sama juga diungkapkan oleh Wiratmaja. Pihaknya mendorong jual beli LPG ini dapat dilakukan langsung oleh perusahaan migas milik pemerintah kedua negara. Direktur Megaproyek Pengolahan dan Petrokimia menambahkan, pihaknya masih membuka peluang Saudi Aramco untuk ikut investasi di proyek kilang lain di Indonesia. Tiga proyek kilang lainnya ini adalah pembangunan kilang baru di Bontang, Kalimantan Timur, serta upgrading Kilang Balongan dan Kilang Dumai. Total nilai proyek ini mencapai lebih dari US$ 14 miliar.

“Ini untuk Project Expose Kilang Bontang untuk mencari partner, jadi tentu kesempatan dibuka seluasnya. Saudi Aramco tentu kami berikan kesempatan,” ujar dia. Sasaran-sasaran dari Visi 2030 antara lain mengubah Saudi Public Investment Fund menjadi sovereign fund dengan nilai aset US$ 2,5 triliun atau yang terbesar di dunia. Lembaga investasi ini akan menguasai 10% lebih kapasitas investasi global. Saudi juga mencanangkan pendapatan non-minyak naik enam kali lipat dari sekitar US$ 43,5 miliar per tahun menjadi US$ 267 miliar dan meningkatkan ekspor non-minyak dari 16% PDB menjadi 50% PDB.
