The value of transition contracts reached 1.5 billion US dollars.
The Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Operations (SKK Migas) has transferred the management contract of Mahakam Block owned by Total E & P Indonesia to PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam. The transfer of the contract is done to keep production of the Mahakam Block which is currently in transition management period.
Deputy for the Control of SKK Migas Procurement Djoko Siswanto said the Mahakam Block contributed 22 percent to national gas production. Therefore, the production process must be maintained during the transition period, as directed by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ignatius Jonan.
"The ESDM Minister said that the transitional period should not affect all activities, including the procurement," said Djoko, Sunday (5/11).
According to Djoko, contract mirroring covering more than 500 contracts will provide certainty of continuity of operation. SKK Migas is scheduling the transfer of the contract starting January 1, 2018 and is valid for one year.
Head of Procurement Management Division of Goods and Services SKK Migas Erwin Suryadi added that SKK Migas plays an active role in guarding the government's policy towards the continuity of the Mahakam block transition process. With the contract switching mechanism, vendors can keep on the move as usual.
"They get the contract certainty so production goes," he said.
The vital contracts in the Mahakam block are among others related to human resources contracts involving nearly 2,000 employees. In addition, there are also ship contracts, rigs, and other operating support. Overall, the contract value covered in this transitional period reached more than 1.5 billion US dollars, or around Rp 20.2 trillion (exchange rate of Rp 13,497 per US dollar).
The E & P Indonesie Total Contract in Mahakam Block will expire on 31 December 2017. During the transition period, Pertamina is investing by adding 14 wells drilling already done since June 2017.
Chairman of the Mahakam Management Preparation Team Judha Sumarianto appreciated SKK Migas's quick action. Judha promised to continue to maintain production performance and production costs. The legal section of Total E & P Indonesie has provided a detailed explanation of the procedures and steps to be taken to complete the contract mirroring process of hundreds of existing contracts. It is expected that the entire process can be completed by November 2017
Keep production
Total E & P Indonesie seeks to keep production rate steady ahead of the "uniform" change procession in the Mahakam Block. Two months before the end of the contract, Total E & P Indonesie states, oil and gas production in the Mahakam block is still on target.
Vice President of Authorization Coordination, Communication, and External Affairs Total E & P Indonesie Agus Suprijanto explained, it still optimizes six production fields in Mahakam block.
Gas production reaches 1,300 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) and liquid, namely condensate and oil at 50,000 barrels per day (bpd). "Now it can still meet the target," said Agus in Balikpapan, weekend.
Total E. & P Indonesie, has completed drilling for seven wells throughout 2017. Meanwhile, during the transition period eight drilling has been done until November 2017. The drilling is Pertamina's investment with a target of 14 wells.
"So, until the end of this year there will be 21 production wells located in the Mahakam Block," he said.
ESDM Minister Ignasius Jonan previously asserted that the process of managing the Mahakam block is at stake in national companies in running upstream oil and gas business.
"If the transfer of this management makes the production down drastically then Pertamina's reputation and reputation of our upstream oil and gas will be less positive," said Jonan explained. So far, the natural gas-rich blocks managed by Total E & P Indonesia in collaboration with Inpex.

Selain itu, terdapat pula kontrak kapal, rig, dan penunjang operasi lainnya. Secara keseluruhan, nilai kontrak yang tercakup dalam masa transisi ini mencapai lebih dari 1,5 miliar dolar AS atau sekitar Rp 20,2 triliun (kurs Rp 13.497 per dolar AS).

Jaga produksi
Total E&P Indonesie berupaya menjaga laju produksi tetap stabil menjelang prosesi "ganti seragam" di Blok Mahakam. Dua bulan menjelang berakhirnya kontrak, Total E&P Indonesie menyatakan, produksi minyak dan gas bumi di Blok Mahakam masih sesuai target.
Vice President Authorization Coordination, Communication, and External Affairs Total E&P Indonesie Agus Suprijanto menjelaskan, pihaknya masih mengoptimalkan enam lapangan produksi di Blok Mahakam.
Produksi gas mencapai 1.300 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) dan likuid, yakni kondensat dan minyak sebesar 50.000 barel per hari (bph). "Sekarang masih bisa penuhi target," kata Agus di Balikpapan, akhir pekan.
Total E.&P Indonesie, telah merampungkan pengeboran untuk tujuh sumur sepanjang 2017. Sedangkan, selama masa transisi telah dilakukan delapan pengeboran hingga November 2017. Pengeboran tersebut merupakan investasi Pertamina dengan target 14 sumur.
"Maka, hingga akhir tahun ini akan ada 21 sumur produksi yang berada di Blok Mahakam," ujarnya.
Menteri ESDM Ignasius Jonan sebelumnya menegaskan, proses alih kelola Blok Mahakam menjadi pertaruhan perusahaan nasional dalam menjalankan bisnis hulu migas.
"Kalau alih kelola ini membuat produksi turun drastis maka reputasi Pertamina dan reputasi dunia hulu migas kita akan kurang positif," kata Jonan menjelaskan. Selama ini blok yang kaya gas alam tersebut dikelola Total E&P Indonesia berkolaborasi dengan Inpex.
