The government provides oil and gas working areas located in Jambi, South Jambi B Block, to Hong Kong Jindi Group in the oil / gas block phase II / 2018.
In addition to Jindi Group, PT Minarak Brantas Gas won the Banyumas Block tender located in Central Java. South Jambi B, is an onshore oil and gas working area that was previously operated by ConocoPhillips. Investors only take two oil and gas working areas and a total of six blocks offered in the auction stage II / 2018 by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
The Phase II / 2018 oil and gas block auction is held on August 14-October 12 2018. The auctioned block is divided into production and exploration work areas. The production working area consists of the Makassar Strait Block, Long Strait, and South Jambi B. The exploration working area is the Southeast Mahakam, Banyumas, and Andika Bumi Blocks.
the Makassar Strait Block
Until the deadline for submission of participation / bid documents on October 12, 2018, there are 18 bidding documents that are accessed by auction enthusiasts, with the results of four work areas in demand by five auction participants.
Deputy Minister of ESDM Arcandra Tahar said that for four oil and gas blocks that were not in demand, they would be included in the phase III / 2018 oil and gas auction. The third phase of the auction will open next week. Phase III / 2018 oil and gas block auction consists of working areas that are already and are conducting joint studies between the government and oil and gas contractors.
To attract investors, this stage III auction will be carried out directly and through a joint study mechanism. With the direct bid scheme, the contractor has first conducted a joint study with the government before the oil and gas block auction was opened. Oil and gas contractors look for their own data.
In a regular auction, the government prepares its own data related to oil and gas blocks that will be offered to contractors. In the arena of limited elections (beauty contest) for oil and gas blocks this time, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has evaluated bidders with the criteria of having financial and technical capabilities to finance and carry out petroleum operations, have a good track record, and fulfill the core auction terms and conditions for oil and gas working areas.
the Banyumas Block - Center Java
As a result, the South Jambi B Block was handed over to Hong Kong Jindi Group Co. Ltd., and the Banyumas Block are managed by PT Minarak Brantas Gas. The Banyumas Block is a land area located in Central Java.
"Until now, there have been six Working Areas (WK) that are selling with gross split [contract schemes] [for gross proceeds]," he said.
The government accepted the Hong Kong Jindi Group proposal with definite work commitments for the first 5 years presented through a 300 km 2D seismic survey, 400 km2 of 3D seims and three wells worth US $ 60 million.
Hong Kong Jindi Group promises to sign the South Jambi B Block contract at the end of November 2018. The oil and gas block located in Jambi has the highest oil production rate of 1,500 barrels per day.
PT Minarak Brantas Gas gave a definite work commitment of US $ 4 million and provided a signature bonus worth US $ 500,000 in the Banyu Mas Block. The signing of the block contract is also planned at the end of November.
President Director of Lapindo Brantas Inc. Faruq Adi Nugroho claimed that he had prepared himself to manage the block with the potential for oil and gas as much as 45 million oil equivalent (boe). The gas obtained from the Banyumas Block will be sold to the government through PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. or PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas).
"This is my homeland, so it's okay to build your own country. Later the production of oil will be higher, "he said.
ENI REFUSED
Meanwhile, two other work areas that are of interest to contractors, namely the Makassar Strait Block and the Long Strait Block. However, the ESDM Ministry rejected the proposal submitted by Eni Muara Bakau B.V. in the Makassar Strait Block because the oil and gas contractor from Italy did not meet the requirements provided by the government. Arcandra said from the commercial side there were no problems, such as signature bonuses and definite work commitments.
"There are other requirements so Eni's offer fails. This is between the government and ENI alone [discussion]. "
Representative from Eni Muara Bakau BM Davide Casini Ropa said, he was interested in the Makassar Strait Block so he would try to take part in the next auction.
David explained, the reason for Eni's interest in oil and gas blocks off the coast of East Kalimantan was because of the Kutai Basin. Eni also projects that oil and gas reserves in Makassar Strait are quite good.
"This is not our decision. This block is interesting because it is close to our other facilities [Jangkrik Field], "he said.
Director General of Oil and Gas of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Djoko Siswanto, said the government would discuss the continuation of Makassar Strait and the Long Strait. In the third phase of the auction, the two blocks will be included again. Rejection of Eni's proposal, according to him, because there is substance in the terms and conditions given and differences in the views of the government and companies from Italy.
"They (ENI) consider these conditions to interfere with commercialization, while we consider it an obligation. And it looks like they will negotiate first, but if the auction doesn't work, "he said.
In this auction, there are also blocks that are lonely interested, namely the Andika Block Bumi Kita and Southest Mahakam. Djoko said there was a possibility that Pertamina would conduct a joint study of the two blocks. He admitted, PT Pertamina (Persero) had indeed not shown interest in official statements, but verbally expressed interest.

Jindi Group Kuasai Blok South Jambi B
Pemerintah memberikan wilayah kerja minyak dan gas bumi yang berlokasi di Jambi, Blok South Jambi B, kepada Hong Kong Jindi Group dalam Lelang blok migas tahap ll/2018.
Selain Jindi Group, PT Minarak Brantas Gas memenangkan tender Blok Banyumas yang berlokasi di Jawa Tengah. South Jambi B, merupakan wilayah kerja migas darat (onshore) yang sebelumnya dioperatori oleh ConocoPhillips. Para investor hanya mengambil dua wilayah kerja minyak dan gas bumi dan total enam blok yang ditawarkan dalam lelang tahap ll/2018 oleh Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral.
Lelang blok migas tahap II/2018 digelar pada 14 Agustus-12 Oktober 2018. Blok yang dilelang itu terbagi dari wilayah kerja produksi dan eksplorasi. Wilayah kerja produksi terdiri atas Blok Makassar Strait, Selat Panjang, dan South Jambi B. Wilayah kerja eksplorasi adalah Blok Southeast Mahakam, Banyumas, dan Andika Bumi Kita.
Hingga batas akhir pemasukan dokumen partisipasi/penawaran pada 12 Oktober 2018, ada 18 dokumen penawaran yang diakses oleh peminat lelang, dengan hasil empat wilayah kerja diminati oleh lima peserta lelang.
Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar mengatakan bahwa untuk empat blok migas yang tidak diminati akan dimasukkan dalam lelang migas tahap III/2018. Lelang tahap ketiga itu akan dibuka pada pekan depan. Lelang blok migas tahap III/2018 terdiri atas wilayah kerja yang sudah dan sedang melakukan studi bersama antara pemerintah dan kontraktor migas.
Untuk menarik para investor, lelang tahap III ini akan dilakukan secara langsung dan melalui mekanisme studi bersama. Dengan skema penawaran langsung, kontraktor sudah terlebih dulu melakukan studi bersama dengan pemerintah sebelum lelang blok migas dibuka. Kontraktor migas mencari data sendiri.
Dalam lelang reguler, pemerintah menyiapkan data sendiri terkait dengan blok migas yang akan ditawarkan kepada kontraktor. Dalam arena pemilihan terbatas (beauty contest) blok migas kali ini, Kementerian ESDM telah mengevaluasi peserta lelang dengan kriteria memiliki kemampuan finansial dan teknik untuk membiayai dan melaksanakan kegiatan operasi perminyakan, memiliki rekam jejak baik, dan memenuhi syarat dan ketentuan inti lelang wilayah kerja migas.
Hasilnya, Blok South Jambi B diserahkan kepada Hong Kong Jindi Group Co. Ltd., serta Blok Banyumas dikelola oleh PT Minarak Brantas Gas. Blok Banyumas merupakan wilayah darat yang berlokasi di Jawa Tengah.
“Sampai sekarang berarti sudah ada enam Wilayah Kerja (WK) yang laku dengan [skema kontrak] gross split [bagi hasil kotor],” tuturnya.
Pemerintah menerima proposal Hong Kong Jindi Group dengan komitmen kerja pasti selama 5 tahun pertama yang tersaji melalui survei seismic 2D sepanjang 300 km, seimsik 3D seluas 400 km2, dan tiga sumur dengan nilai US$ 60 juta.
Hong Kong Jindi Group menjanjikan penandatanganan kontrak Blok South Jambi B pada akhir November 2018. Blok migas yang berlokasi di Jambi itu memiliki tingkat produksi minyak tertinggi 1.500 barel per hari.
PT Minarak Brantas Gas memberikan komitmen kerja pasti US$ 4 juta dan memberikan bonus tanda tangan senilai US$ 500.000 di Blok Banyu mas. Penandatanganan kontrak blok ini juga rencananya pada akhir November.
Presiden Direktur Lapindo Brantas Inc. Faruq Adi Nugroho mengaku bahwa pihaknya sudah menyiapkan diri untuk mengelola blok dengan potensi migas sebanyak 45 juta setara minyak (boe). Gas yang didapat dari Blok Banyumas akan dijual ke pemerintah melalui PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. atau PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas).
“Ini Tanah Air saya, jadi tidak apa-apa apa dong membangun Tanah Air sendiri. Nanti seperitnya produksinya minyak akan lebih banyak," katanya.
ENI DITOLAK
Sementara itu, dua wilayah kerja lain yang diminati kontraktor, yakni Blok Makassar Strait dan Blok Selat Panjang. Namun, Kementerian ESDM menolak proposal yang diajukan oleh Eni Muara Bakau B.V. di Blok Makassar Strait karena kontraktor migas dari Italia tersebut tidak memenuhi persyaratan yang diberikan oleh pemerintah. Arcandra mengatakan dari sisi komersial tidak ada masalah, seperti bonus tanda tangan dan komitmen kerja pasti.
“Ada persyaratan lain sehingga penawaran Eni gagal. Ini antara pemerintah dan ENI saja [pembahasannya]."
Perwakilan dari Eni Muara Bakau BM Davide Casini Ropa mengatakan, pihaknya tertarik dengan Blok Makassar Strait sehingga akan mencoba ikut lelang berikutnya.
David menjelaskan, alasan ketertarikan Eni pada blok migas lepas pantai Kalimantan Timur ini karena ada Cekungan Kutai. Eni juga memproyeksikan cadangan migas di Makassar Strait cukup bagus.
“Ini bukan keputusan kami. Blok ini menarik karena dekat dengan fasilitas kami yang lain [Lapangan Jangkrik]," katanya.
Dirjen Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Djoko Siswanto mengatakan, pemerintah akan membahas mengenai kelanjutan Makassar Strait dan Selat Panjang. Dalam lelang tahap ketiga, dua blok tersebut akan diikutsertakan lagi. Ditolaknya proposal Eni, menurutnya, karena ada substansi dalam syarat dan ketentuan yang diberikan dan perbedaan cara pandang pemerintah dan perusahaan dari Italia tersebut.
“Mereka (ENI) mengganggap syarat tersebut mengganggu komersialisasi, sedangkan kami menganggap itu kewajiban. Dan sepertinya mereka akan menegosiasikan dulu, tetapi kalau dalam lelang tidak bisa begitu,” katanya.
Dalam lelang kali ini, ada pula blok yang sepi peminat, yakni Blok Andika Bumi Kita dan Southest Mahakam. Djoko mengatakan ada kemungkinan Pertamina melakukan studi bersama terhadap dua blok tersebut. Dia mengakui, PT Pertamina (Persero) memang belum menunjukkan ketertarikan dengan pernyataan resmi, tetapi secara lisan sudah mengutarakan minatnya.
