The government claims to have determined four winners from the six working area auctions (WK) or the second phase of oil and gas blocks this year. One of the winners of the block auction was an Italian company, Eni, which obtained the management rights of the Makassar Strait Block.
Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Djoko Siswanto said Eni was the only company that made an offer for the Makassar Strait Block. From the results of the evaluation of the 2018 Second Phase Oil and Gas auction, Eni has met the requirements of the government so that it is likely to be appointed as the winner.

What's more, Eni is currently managing the Jangkrik Field Muara Bakau Block which is located adjacent to the Makassar Strait Block. With the entry of Eni to Makassar Strait, it is expected to make the oil and gas project more economical.
"They have facilities there, only need to tapping pipes, so the cost can be cheaper," Djoko said.
But the Deputy Minister of ESDM Arcandra Tahar denied Eni had won the Makassar Strait Block.
"No winners have yet been announced," Arcandra said in her office
Arcandra also said the government had officially not announced the winners of the four blocks being auctioned. Likewise, the winner of the Block Corridor whose contract period expired December 19, 2023.
"As soon as possible, I announce the winner of the Block Corridor," he said.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources decided to auction the Makassar Strait Block which will be terminated in 2020 because the old cooperation contract contractor (KKKS) in the block, namely PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia with participating interest (Pl) of 72% and 18% Sinopec no longer interested in managing the block that is. The state-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina also refused to manage the block.
Understandably, the Makassar Strait Block, which includes two oil and gas projects, namely West Sono and Maha, is still in the exploration stage so that it is considered uneconomical. Head of SKK Migas Anmen Sunaryadi said, Managing Director of Chevron Indo Asia Business Unit, Chuck Taylor, once stated that he officially released the Makassar Strait Block because the block's not present value (NPV) calculation was negative.

Pemenang 4 Migas Belum Jelas
Pemerintah mengaku telah menentukan empat pemenang dari enam lelang Wilayah kerja (WK) atau blok migas tahap kedua pada tahun ini. Salah satu pemenang lelang blok itu adalah perusahaan dari Italia, Eni, yang memperoleh hak pengelolaan Blok Makassar Strait.
Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Djoko Siswanto menyebutkan Eni merupakan satu-satunya perusahaan yang memberikan penawaran untuk Blok Makassar Strait. Dari hasil evaluasi lelang Migas Tahap Kedua 2018 pun, Eni sudah memenuhi persyaratan dari pemerintah sehingga kemungkinan besar akan ditunjuk sebagai pemenang.
Terlebih lagi, saat ini Eni sedang mengelola Lapangan Jangkrik Blok Muara Bakau yang lokasinya berdekatan dengan Blok Makassar Strait. Dengan masuknya Eni ke Makassar Strait diharapkan bisa membuat proyek migas tersebut menjadi lebih ekonomis.
"Mereka memiliki fasilitas di sana, hanya perlu tapping pipa saja, jadi dari sisi biaya bisa lebih murah," kata Djoko.
Namun Wakil Menteri ESDM Arcandra Tahar membantah Eni sudah memenangi Blok Makassar Strait.
"Belum ada pemenang, belum diumumkan," kata Arcandra di ruang kerjanya
Arcandra juga menyatakan pemerintah secara resmi belum mengumumkan pemenang empat blok yang dilelang. Demikian pula pemenang Blok Corridor yang masa kontraknya habis 19 Desember 2023.
"Secepatnya saya umumkan pemenang Blok Corridor," ungkap dia.
Kementerian ESDM memutuskan melelang Blok Makassar Strait yang akan terminasi pada tahun 2020 karena kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) lama di blok tersebut, yaitu PT Chevron Pacific lndonesia dengan participating interest (Pl) sebesar 72% dan Sinopec sebesar 18% tidak berminat lagi mengelola blok tersebut. Perusahaan migas milik pemerintah PT Pertamina juga menolak mengelola blok tersebut.
Maklumlah, Blok Makassar Strait yang meliputi dua proyek migas yaitu West Sono dan Maha masih dalam tahap eksplorasi sehingga dianggap tidak ekonomis. Kepala SKK Migas Anmen Sunaryadi menyebutkan, Managing Director Chevron Indo Asia Business Unit, Chuck Taylor, pernah menyatakan secara resmi melepas Blok Makassar Strait karena perhitungan not present value (NPV) blok itu negatif.
