Lelang Blok Attaka dan East Kalimantan Awal Tahun 2018
Kementerian ESDM siap melelang blok terminasi yang tidak diminati oleh PT Pertamina. Salah satunya Blok Attaka, sebelumnya dikelola Inpex Corp dan Blok East Kalimantan, dikelola Chevron. Seperti diketahui Pertamina mendapatkan delapan blok migas terminasi atau blok yang habis kontrak tahun ini dan tahun depan, tapi Pertamina hanya berminat kepada enam blok migas untuk dikelola.
Kontrak Blok Attaka berakhir 31 Maret 2017 dan East Kalimantan berakhir 24 Oktober 2018. Produksi Attaka sebesar 4.900 barel setara minyak per hari, sementara East Kalimantan sebesar 36.500 barel setara minyak per hari. Sekjen Kementerian ESDM Ego Syahrial mengatakan, pemerintah sedang menyiapkan dokumen lelang.
"Attaka mungkin dilelang awal Januari 2018,"ujarnya.
Pemerintah juga menyiapkan syarat khusus peserta lelang. Di antaranya memiliki kemampuan finansial dan teknologi mumpuni. Pemerintah berharap pemenang lelang bisa menaikkan produksi, karena pemerintah berkomitmen menjaga produksi migas agar tidak menurun.
Sementara Blok East Kalimantan yang sebelunmya dikelola Chevron juga yang akan dilelang oleh pemerintah. Lelang itu setelah Pertamina menilai kedua proyek migas tersebut sudah tidak ekonomis untuk dikembangkan. Pertamina hanya akan melanjutkan pengelolaan enam blok terminasi di 2018. Yakni Blok Sanga-Sanga, Blok Tuban, Blok B/NSO, Blok South East Sumatra, Blok Tengah, dan Blok Ogan Komering.
