Total & Inpex Still Discusses Price 39% Mahakam Block



Inpex Corporation and Total EP hope to still be able to partner with PT Pertamina in managing the Mahakam Block in Kalimantan. Understandably, from January 1, 2018, the management of the Mahakam block shifted from Total EP to PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina Hulu Indonesia.

Senior Specialist of Media Relations Moch N. Kurniawan said that Inpex is cooperating with Total EP Indonesie to process businees to business (B to B) with Pertamina related to the share purchase plan in Mahakam block.

"Currently, Inpex continues to discuss with the Government of Indonesia and Pertamina, in cooperation with Total EP, participate in the new Mahakam Block's PSC (profit-sharing contract) after 2017," explained Kurniawan

But Iwan has not been willing to disclose the details of the purchase of shares in the Mahakam Block further. Previously the government has approved Total EP and Inpex can get 39% stake in Mahakam block.

"The details we cannot explain because the talks with the Government of Indonesia and Pertamina are still ongoing," explained lwan.

However, if you want to buy shares in the Mahakam block, Inpex and Total EP must prepare a jumbo fund. Based on data from the Special Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas), the estimated value of Mahakam assets as of December 31, 2017 (capital assets, inventory and inventory materials) amounted to US $ 9.43 billion.

     If in the form of rupiah using the exchange rate of Rp 13,000 per US dollar around Rp 122.59 trillion. This figure is significantly increased from the initial calculation of oil and gas SKK at the beginning of the year which only estimates the asset valuation of the Mahakam Block by the end of 2017 for only US $ 3.45 billion. 

     The increase is due to rising world oil prices and the existence of physical checks that are internal SKK Migas. Not to mention the production potential of Mahakam Block is still brilliant.

     SKK Migas noted that the Mahakam Block produces oil and condensate of 52,000 barrels of oil per day and 1.360 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Proven reserves as of January 1, 2016 are 4.9 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas, 57 million barrels of oil and 45 million barrels of condensate.

      If the current asset value of the Mahakam Block is US $ 9.43 billion, Total EP and Inpex must pay US $ 3.67 billion or equivalent to Rp 49 trillion. Unfortunately, Iwan and President & General Manager of Total E & P Indonesie (TEPI), Arividya Noviyanto did not answer the confirmation of the ability to pay Rp 49 trillion.

      Syamsu Alam Director Hulu Pertamina said that besides Total EP and Inpex, there are some companies that have expressed interest to enter Mahakam.

"The process is preferred B to B and certainly not just the percentage," he said.

Total & Inpex Masih Membahas Harga 39% Blok Mahakam


Inpex Corporation dan Total EP berharap masih bisa bermitra dengan PT Pertamina dalam pengelolaan Blok Mahakam di Kalimantan. Maklum, mulai 1 Januari 2018 pengelolaan Blok Mahakam beralih dari Total EP ke PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, anak usaha PT Pertamina Hulu Indonesia.

Senior Specialist Media Relations Moch N. Kurniawan menyebutkan, lnpex menggandeng Total EP Indonesie untuk melakukan proses businees to business (B to B) dengan Pertamina terkait rencana pembelian saham di Blok Mahakam. 

"Saat ini Inpex terus berdiskusi dengan Pemerintah Indonesia dan Pertamina, bekerja sama dengan Total EP, berpartisipasi dalam PSC (kontrak bagi hasil) baru Blok Mahakam setelah tahun 2017," jelas lwan, panggilan Kurniawan

Namun Iwan belum bersedia buka-bukaan terkait detail pembelian saham di Blok Mahakam lebih lanjut. Sebelumnya pemerintah sudah merestui Total EP dan Inpex bisa mendapat 39% saham Blok Mahakam. 

"Detailnya belum bisa kami jabarkan karena pembicaraan dengan Pemerintah Indonesia dan Pertamina masih berlangsung," terang lwan.
Meski demikian, jika ingin membeli saham di Blok Mahakam, Inpex dan Total EP harus menyiapkan dana jumbo. Sebab, berdasarkan data Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas), estimasi nilai aset Mahakam per 31 Desember 2017 (harta benda modal, inventaris, dan material persediaan) sebesar US$ 9,43 miliar. 

Jika dalam bentuk rupiah menggunakan kurs Rp 13.000 per dollar AS sekitar Rp 122,59 triliun. Angka tersebut naik signifikan dari perhitungan awal SKK Migas di awal tahun yang hanya mengestimasi valuasi aset Blok Mahakam per akhir 2017 hanya US$ 3,45 miliar. 

      Kenaikan itu karena harga minyak dunia terus naik dan adanya cek fisik yang dilakukan internal SKK Migas. Belum lagi potensi produksi Blok Mahakam masih cemerlang.

SKK Migas mencatat, Blok Mahakam memproduksi minyak dan kondensat sebesar 52.000 barel minyak per hari dan 1.360 juta kaki kubik gas bumi per hari. Cadangan terbukti per 1 Januari 2016 sebesar 4,9 trillion cubic feet (TCF) gas, 57 juta barel minyak dan 45 juta barel kondensat.

Jika nilai aset Blok Mahakam saat ini sebesar US$ 9,43 miliar, Total EP dan Inpex harus membayar US$ 3,67 miliar atau setara Rp 49 triliun. Sayangnya, Iwan maupun President & General Manager Total E&P Indonesie (TEPI), Arividya Noviyanto tidak menjawab konfirmasi kesanggupan membayar Rp 49 triliun.

Syamsu Alam Direktur Hulu Pertamina pernah bilang selain Total EP dan Inpex, ada beberapa perusahaan yang sudah menyampaikan minat masuk ke Mahakam. 

"Prosesnya diutamakan B to B dan tentu bukan hanya besaran persentase," kata dia.
