The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) emphasized that PT Pertamina is not necessarily the operator of the Sanga-Sanga Block in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan after the end of PT Vico Indonesia's contract next year. Moreover, there is PT Saka Energi Indonesia who also wants to be operator there because it already has 26.25% shares.
Director of Upstream Oil and Gas Business Development, Ministry of ESDM Tunggal said Pertamina was asked to make a presentation of interest in managing the Sanga Sanga Block whose contract will expire at the end of 2018.
"The program is told in detail and we want to evaluate it, for the important government we can not maintain the production," he explained, at the Office of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources on Monday (23/10).
However, Tunggal asserted, Pertamina is not necessarily the operator of the Sanga Sanga Block, although it has been assigned through Ministerial Regulation No. 15/2015 on the Management of Oil and Gas Working Areas that Ends the Contract Period.
"It is not necessarily the operator, the assignment is there, we talk term and conditioning, each of us we have the presentation, because the existing one is Vico filed as well," he said.
Vico as the existing operator has also made a presentation on the desire to extend his contract in the Sanga Sanga Block.
"Depending on the evaluation team, such existing commitments, then what Pertamina's commitment is," he said.

Vico & Pertamina Bersaing Menawar Blok Sanga-Sanga
Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menekankan, PT Pertamina belum tentu menjadi operator di Blok Sanga-Sanga di Kutai Kartanegara, Kalimantan Timur pasca berakhirnya kontrak PT Vico Indonesia pada tahun depan. Apalagi ada PT Saka Energi Indonesia yang juga ingin menjadi operator di sana karena sudah memiliki 26,25% saham.
Direktur Pembinaan Usaha Hulu Migas, Kementerian ESDM Tunggal menyatakan, Pertamina diminta melakukan presentasi minatnya mengelola Blok Sanga Sanga yang kontraknya akan berakhir di akhir tahun 2018.
"Programnya diceritakan detail, mau ngebor sekian. Nah itu kita evaluasi, bagi pemerintah yang penting bisa tidak kita mempertahankan produksi," terangnya, di Kantor Kementerian ESDM, Senin (23/10).
Namun, Tunggal menegaskan, Pertamina belum tentu menjadi operator Blok Sanga Sanga, meskipun telah mendapatkan penugasan melalui Peraturan Menteri Nomor 15/2015 tentang Pengelolaan Wilayah Kerja Migas Yang Berakhir Masa Kontraknya.
"Memang belum tentu menjadi operator, penugasan memang ada, kita bicara term and conditioning, masing-masing kita suruh presentasi. Karena yang eksisting yaitu Vico mengajukan juga," ungkapnya.
Vico selaku operator eksisting juga telah melakukan presentasi atas keinginan memperpanjang kontraknya di Blok Sanga Sanga itu.
"Tergantung tim evaluasi. Komitmen yang eksisting seperti ini, lalu komitmen Pertamina seperti apa," kata dia.
