Tunggakan 40 Kontraktor Migas Mencapai US$ 350 Juta


SKK Migas merasa kesulitan mencari 40 KKKS itu karena tidak terlacak Iagi di Indonesia. SKK Migas menyebutkan total tunggakan semula mencapai sekitar US$ 400 juta dan baru berhasil menagih sebesar US$ 50 juta diantaranya.

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mencatat, hingga saat ini ada 40 kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) yang belum membayar bonus tanda-tangan (signature bonus) dan komitmen kepastian (firm commitment).

Total nilai tunggakan mencapai US$ 350 juta, atau setara dengan Rp 4,66 triliun. SKK Migas menyebut total tunggakan semula mencapai sekitar US$ 400 juta, dan hanya berhasil menagih sebesar US$ 50 juta diantaranya. Sekretaris SKK Migas Budi Agustiono menjelaskan, pembayaran dua jenis setoran itu mestinya dilakukan 30 hari setelah mereka memenangkan tender suatu blok migas.

Menurut Budi, SKK Migas kesulitan melacak keberadaan 40 KKKS tersebut. Instansi ini mengklaim sudah berulangkali mencoba menghubungi dan mencari keberadaan mereka, baik dengan menyurati mereka maupun melalui pengumuman lewat media massa. "Sudah berkali-kali kami umumkan di koran, kami cari alamatnya tapi tidak ketemu," kata Budi usai paparan kinerja hulu migas kuartal I-2017, Jumat (7/4).

Selain itu, saat ini mereka tidak lagi menjadi operator, karena pemerintah sudah memutuskan kontrak mereka. Sayangnya, SKK Migas tidak mau membuka nama-nama KKKS yang masih menunggak itu. Namun yang jelas, SKK Migas telah bekerjasama dengan sejumlah Kedutaan Besar Indonesia untuk menghubungi kontraktor penunggak itu. Di antaranya adalah Kedutaan besar Indonesia di Kanada dan Meksiko.

Tidak punya wewenang 

SKK Migas, kata Budi, menyesalkan masalah tunggakan kewajiban oleh kontraktor ini. Apalagi instansi ini merasa tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa karena tugas SKK Migas hanya sebagai badan pelaksana. Menurut Budi, selama ini SKK Migas bukan lembaga yang melakukan lelang blok migas, ataupun menyetujui pemenang lelang blok tersebut. 

"Kami yang disalahkan atas 40 komitmen. Kenapa belum bayar? Ini kontrak yang baru-baru tahun pertama tidak lakukan seismik, risiko ada pada negara," kata Budi. Padahal, Jika SKK Migas bisa membuat keputusan, maka mereka tidak hanya bisa mencegah adanya tunggakan, tapi juga bisa meningkatkan produksi migas. 

Untuk itu, SKK Migas pun sudah mengajukan ke Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) agar dalam revisi Undang-Undang Migas yang baru, SKK Migas bisa menjadi lembaga yang bisa membuat keputusan. "Kami sudah sampaikan entah di buat apa tidak di Kementerian, inginnya lembaga ini all out, semua keputusan di lembaga ini, mau bentuknya Badan Usaha Khusus atau Badan Usaha Milik Negara Khusus atau BUMN, yang penting itu satu untuk tingkatkan produksi" ujar Budi.

IGN Wiratmaja Puja Direktur Jenderal Migas Kementerian ESDM mengatakan, penagihan tetap jadi tugas SKK Migas. "Di diskusikan ke pemerintah yang boleh bicara SKK Migas karena itu bisnis. Domain bisnis ke SKK Migas," ujarnya.

Direktur Eksekutif Indonesia Petroleum "Association (IPA) Marjjolijn Wajong menyatakan hal senada dengan Wiratmaja. "Soal tunggakan, sebab semua sudah ada aturannya," ujarnya.
