Saka Energi now wants to buy back its stake in Sanga-Sanga from Pertamina.
PT Saka Energi Indonesia is being upset. Because the Block Sanga-Sanga and Block Muriah, Kepodang field that has been purchased now the status is not clear. Even rumored subsidiary of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) is willing to buy back shares Sanga-Sanga Block because the status of the block has been given to PT Pertamina.
As is known, Saka Energy bought 26.25% stake in BP in Sanga-Sanga Block in November 2016 with a value of US $ 30 million. Within three months of the purchase, in January 2017, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR) Ignatius Jonan handed over 100% of the Sanga-Sanga Block to Pertamina.
Jonan's decision was in accordance with the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 30 of 2016 on Management of Working Areas of Oil and Gas which will end Samanya Contract of Work published on October 13, 2016. Thus, if you want to participate in managing Sanga-Sanga Block, Saka must buy shares Sanga -Sanga from from Pertamina.
The purchase decision at that time was questioned by the Economist and Energy Observer of Gajah Mada University (UGM), Fahmy Radhi said that Saka's move to buy BP shares in November 2016 in Sanga-Sanga Block was wrong.
"The Sanga-Sanga Block is handed over to the Government," Fahmy said.
Fahmy suspects that the purchase of BP shares in the Sanga-Sanga Block is Saka Energi's strategy to become an operator in Sanga-Sanga.
"Saka Energy's decision to buy Sanga-Sanga shares because in addition to the potential reserve is still large, Saka also still want to become an operator," he said.
Reportedly, Saka Energy has applied for a loan of US $ 285 million to buy Sanga-Sanga shares from Pertamina. Unfortunately, President Director Saka Energi Tumbur Parlindungan did not answer the question. He just said, Saka's efforts to participate in the Sanga-Sanga contract is purely to increase production.
"Saka as a joint operator with Eni through Vico in Sanga-Sanga Block is committed to increase production as we did in the first half of 2017," he said.
Tumbur also once asserted, Saka's decision to buy shares in the Sanga-Sanga Block did not bring harm to the company. Because all the risks have been calculated before doing a corporate action.
"Oil prices go up, at least, that's the advantage," he said.
Saka Energi also made a blunder in the purchase of shares in Blok Muriah, Kepodang Field in October 2014 ago. Currently Kepodang Field production is gradually down from 116 mmscfd to 80 mmscfd. Unfortunately, Tumbur did not answer the question as to why it bought 20% stake from Sunny Ridge Offshore Limited for US $ 40 million. Fahmy explained that the purchase of shares in Blok Muriah was also the fault of Saka Energy.
"Kahar Kepodang field one of the blunders by Saka Energy, the blunders must be harmful, not only for Saka, but also for the parent, PGN.
IN INDONESIA
Blunder Saka Energi di Dua Blok Migas
Saka Energi kini malah ingin membeli kembali sahamnya di Sanga-Sanga dari Pertamina.
PT Saka Energi Indonesia sedang gundah gulana. Pasalnya Blok Sanga-Sanga dan Blok Muriah, Lapangan Kepodang yang sudah dibeli kini statusnya tidak jelas. Bahkan dikabarkan anak usaha PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN) itu rela membeli kembali saham Blok Sanga-Sanga karena status blok itu sudah diberikan kepada PT Pertamina.
Seperti diketahui, Saka Energi membeli 26,25% saham BP di Blok Sanga-Sanga pada November tahun 2016 dengan nilai US$ 30 juta. Berselang tiga bulan dari pembelian itu, pada Januari 2017, Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Ignasius Jonan menyerahkan 100% saham Blok Sanga-Sanga kepada Pertamina.
Keputusan Jonan itu sudah sesuai Peraturan Menteri ESDM Nomor 30 tahun 2016 tentang Pengelolaan Wilayah Kerja Minyak dan Gas Bumi yang akan berakhir Kontrak Kerja Samanya yang terbit pada 13 Oktober 2016. Dengan demikian, jika ingin ikut mengelola Blok Sanga-Sanga, Saka wajib membeli saham Sanga-Sanga dari dari Pertamina.
Keputusan pembelian saat itu sempat dipertanyakan Pengamat Ekonomi dan Energi Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM), Fahmy Radhi bilang, langkah Saka membeli saham BP pada November 2016 di Blok Sanga-Sanga kala itu adalah keputusan yang salah.
"Pasalnya Blok Sanga-Sanga malah diserahkan kepada Pemerintah," kata Fahmy.
Fahmy menduga, pembelian saham BP di Blok Sanga-Sanga merupakan siasat Saka Energi untuk menjadi operator di Sanga-Sanga.
"Keputusan Saka Energi membeli saham Sanga-Sanga karena di samping potensi cadangan masih besar, Saka juga tetap ingin menjadi operator," katanya.
Kabarnya, Saka Energi sudah mengajukan pinjaman hingga US$ 285 juta untuk membeli lagi saham Sanga-Sanga dari Pertamina. Namun sayang, Direktur Utama Saka Energi Tumbur Parlindungan tidak menjawab soal itu. Dia hanya bilang, upaya Saka tetap ikut dalam kontrak Sanga-Sanga adalah murni untuk meningkatkan produksi.
"Saka sebagai operator bersama dengan Eni melalui Vico di Blok Sanga-Sanga berkomitmen meningkatkan produksi seperti yang kami lakukan di semester I 2017,“ ujarnya.
Tumbur juga pernah menegaskan, keputusan Saka membeli saham di Blok Sanga-Sanga tidak membawa kerugian bagi perusahaan tersebut. Sebab semua risiko telah dihitung sebelum melakukan sebuah aksi korporasi.
"Harga minyak naik. Paling tidak, itu keuntungannya," katanya.
Saka Energi juga melakukan blunder dalam pembelian saham di Blok Muriah, Lapangan Kepodang pada Oktober 2014 lalu. Saat ini produksi Lapangan Kepodang berangsur turun dari 116 mmscfd menjadi 80 mmscfd. Sayangnya, Tumbur tidak menjawab pertanyaan terkait alasan saat itu membeli 20% saham dari Sunny Ridge Offshore Limited senilai US$ 40 juta. Fahmy menerangkan, pembelian saham di Blok Muriah itu juga kesalahan Saka Energi.
"Kahar lapangan Kepodang salah satu blunder yang dilakukan Saka Energi. Berbagai blunder itu pasti merugikan, tidak hanya bagi Saka, tapi juga bagi induknya, yakni PGN.
