Not achieving the target of oil lifting of five contractors The big cooperation contract (KKKS) has also been holding back the achievement of national oil lifting which is still below the 2018 National Budget (APBN) target.
Until September 2018, the realization of petroleum lifting in the third quarter of 2018 recorded 774,000 bopd (barrels of oil per day) or 97% of the target of 800,000 bopd. From the national lifting realization, five large contractors of cooperation contracts (KKKS) contributed 73% of total production.
The five KKKS are PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia, PT ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd. (EMCL), PT Pertamina EP, PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam and PHE OSES in the Southeast Sumatra Block (SES). Head of SKK Migas Program and Communication Division Wisnu Prabawa Taher said there were still some obstacles in oil production.
Especially for the Rokan Block with PT CPI operators, it is known that there are still technical effects and obstacles to the pipeline in the production facilities. And the 2018 APBN target is 213,551 barrels per day, PT CPI produces 210,582 barrels per day (bpd).
"But this obstacle has been addressed. Regarding monitoring, SKK Migas is always carried out, including supervision of KKKS operations, "he said, Monday (8/10).
Production constraints were also experienced by Medco E & P Natuna whose drilling results had not met expectations and drilling needed to be rescheduled. PT Pertamina EP as well. The drilling results are still below expectations, while Pertamina Hulu Mahakam (PHM) is experiencing drilling delays due to rig problems. Until the end of the year the average oil and gas lifting performance is estimated to only reach 95% or 1.91 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD).
"In the upstream oil and gas sector, it is common, the drilling results can be different from the target, because what is taken is deep in the bowels of the earth," Wisnu said
He stressed the difficulty of achieving the target can be understood considering the main upstream oil and gas field has been operating on average since 1970-1980 with high water cut content.
In addition, the pressure is not as good as at the beginning of the production period, so it becomes a challenge in production operations while keeping reserves optimally taken to the surface. According to SKK Migas data as of September 30, 2018, the realization of oil and gas lifting amounted to 1.92 million BOEPD. This achievement is only 96% of the 2018 State Budget target set at 2 million BOEPD.
Separately, ESDM Deputy Minister Arcandra Tahar acknowledged that the realization of oil and gas lifting had not reached the target, particularly the oil sector. Unfortunately, Arcandra is reluctant to accept the government's efforts to encourage increased oil lifting. On the other hand, not achieving the national oil lifting target can be triggered by the KKKS's consideration in measuring production prices or economic level.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Executive Director of Reforminer Institute Komaidi Notonegoro said technical considerations could also affect the natural decline of an oil well. According to him, technical constraints not only refer to production equipment, but also natural factors from oil fields that are mostly in Indonesia.
"There is no other way, besides finding new reserves."
According to him, the KKKS's steps to encourage production according to the 2018 State Budget target may be achieved, but at the expense of production costs. Naturally, then the contractor's choice does not maximize production due to economic affairs.
This includes also what PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia did when it did not increase investment to boost production quantity. "Psychologically everything will be like that, if it still fulfills their economy. If CPI only optimizes its business, "Komaidi said.

5 Kontraktor Besar Tidak Capai Target
Tidak tercapainya target lifting minyak lima kontraktor Kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) besar ikut menahan pencapaian lifting minyak nasional yang masih dibawah target Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja Nasional (APBN) 2018.
Hingga September 2018, realisasi lifting minyak bumi pada kuartal III/2018 tercatat 774.000 bopd (barrels of oil per day) atau 97% dari target 800.000 bopd. Dari realisasi lifting nasional tersebut, lima kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) besar berkontribusi 73% total produksi.
Lima KKKS tersebut yakni PT Chevron Pasific Indonesia, PT ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd., PT Pertamina EP, PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam dan PHE OSES di Blok Southeast Sumatra (SES). Kepala Divisi Program dan Komunikasi SKK Migas Wisnu Prabawa Taher mengatakan masih ada beberapa kendala dalam produksi minyak.
Khusus untuk Blok Rokan dengan operator PT CPI diketahui masih ada efek dan kendala teknis pipa di fasilitas produksi. Dan target APBN 2018 sebesar 213.551 barel per hari, PT CPI memproduksi 210.582 barel per hari (bph).
“Tapi kendala ini sudah tertangani. Terkait monitoring, selalu dilakukan oleh SKK Migas, termasuk pengawasan ke operasi KKKS,” ujarnya, Senin (8/10).
Kendala produksi juga dialami oleh Medco E&P Natuna yang hasil pengeborannya belum sesuai ekspektasi dan pemboran perlu dijadwal ulang. PT Pertamina EP demikian pula. Hasil pengeborannya masih dibawah ekspektasi, sementara Pertamina Hulu Mahakam (PHM) mengalami penundaan pengeboran karena masalah rig. Hingga akhir tahun rata-rata capaian lifting migas diperkirakan hanya mencapai 95% atau 1,91 juta barel setara minyak per hari (BOEPD).
“Dalam hulu migas, sudah lazim, hasil pemboran bisa berbeda dengan target, karena yang diambil berada jauh di dalam perut bumi,” ujar Wisnu.
Dia menekankan sulitnya mencapai target dapat dipahami mengingat lapangan hulu migas yang utama rata-rata sudah beroperasi sejak 1970-1980 dengan kandungan water cut yang tinggi.
Selain itu, tekanannya sudah tidak sebaik di awal periode produksi, sehingga menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam operasi produksi sekaligus menjaga agar cadangan dapat optimal diambil ke permukaan. Menurut data SKK Migas per 30 September 2018, realisasi lifting migas sebesar 1,92 juta BOEPD. Capaian ini baru 96% dari target APBN 2018 yang ditetapkan sebesar 2 juta BOEPD.
Terpisah, Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar mengakui realisasi lifting migas belum mencapai target, khususnya dan sektor minyak. Sayangnya, Arcandra enggan mennci upaya pemerintah untuk mendorong peningkatan lifting minyak. Disisi lain, tidak tercapainya target lifting minyak nasional dapat dipicu oleh pertimbangan KKKS dalam mengukur harga produksi atau tingkat keekonomian.
PERTIMBANGAN TEKNIS
Direktur Eksekutif Reforminer Institute Komaidi Notonegoro mengatakan pertimbangan teknis juga dapat mempengaruhi penurunan alamiah dari sebuah sumur minyak. Menurutnya, kendala teknis tidak hanya mengacu pada peralatan produksi, tetapi juga faktor alami dari lapangan minyak yang sebagian tua di Indonesia.
“Memang tidak ada cara lain, selain mencari cadangan baru.”
Menurut dia, langkah KKKS untuk mendorong produksi sesuai target APBN 2018 mungkin dapat tercapai, tetapi dengan mengorbankan biaya produksi. Wajar bila kemudian pilihan kontraktor tidak memaksimalkan produksi karena urusan keekonomian.
Hal ini termasuk juga yang dilakukan oleh PT Chevron Pasific Indonesia ketika tidak meningkatkan investasi untuk mendorong kuantitas produksi. “Secara psikologis semua akan begitu, sekiranya masih memenuhi keekonomian mereka. Kalau CPI hanya mengoptimalkan bisnisnya,” kata Komaidi.
