The Cooperation Contract Contractor (KKKS) is still likely to evaluate its participation in the 15-block oil and gas auction that has been offered since last May 2017. Whereas the Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) regarding gross split has been revised some time ago.
Erwin Maryoto, Vice President of Public and Government Affairs of ExxonMobil Indonesia, said it appreciated the government's efforts to revise the gross split scheme. "The government is listening to our inputs, it will be very interesting," Erwin said last week.
To that end, EXXonMobil continues to evaluate the oil and gas blocks offered.
"We see which one fits our portfolio, ExxonMobil has certain criteria, not just economical, but look at where the oil or gas focus is," he said.
President Director of Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) Christina Verchere said investment decisions in upstream oil and gas will be handed over to each oil and gas company.
"We look forward to the best for members who follow this year's auction as well as contract renewal negotiations," Christina said.
President and General Manager of Total EP Indonesia Arividya Novianto said, it is still evaluating the auction of oil and gas blocks this year. ESDM Ministry itself finally on Friday (8/9) gives blessing for Total EP gets 39% stake Mahakam. In the near future, Total EP will get an official letter about it.

KKKS Masih Mengevaluasi Lelang 15 Blok Migas
Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS) tampaknya masih akan mengevaluasi keikutsertaannya dalam lelang 15 blok migas yang sudah ditawarkan sejak Mei 2017 lalu. Padahal Peraturan Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) mengenai gross split sudah direvisi beberapa waktu lalu.
Erwin Maryoto, Vice President Public and Goverment Affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia, mengatakan, pihaknya menghargai upaya pemerintah merevisi skema gross split. "Pemerintah mendengarkan berbagai masukan kami. Ini akan sangat menarik," kata Erwin pekan lalu.
Untuk itu, EXXonMobil terus melakukan evaluasi blok-blok migas yang ditawarkan.
"Kami melihat mana yang cocok dengan portofolio kami. ExxonMobil memiliki kriteria tertentu, tidak hanya ekonomis, tapi melihat minyak atau gas fokusnya di mana," ujarnya.
Presiden Direktur Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) Christina Verchere mengatakan, keputusan investasi di hulu migas Indonesia akan diserahkan ke masing-masing perusahaan migas.
"Kami mengharapkan yang terbaik bagi anggota yang mengikuti lelang tahun ini dan juga negosiasi perpanjangan kontrak," kata Christina.
Presiden dan General Manager Total EP Indonesia Arividya Novianto bilang, pihaknya masih mengevaluasi lelang blok migas tahun ini. Kementerian ESDM sendiri akhirnya pada Jumat (8/9) memberikan restu bagi Total EP mendapat 39% saham Mahakam. Dalam waktu dekat, Total EP akan mendapatkan surat resmi soal itu.
