Exxon Coordinates with SKK Migas

ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) claimed to be coordinating with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) to take care of submitting the revised Environmental Impact Analysis (Amdal) of the Banyu Urip Field in the Cepu Block to the Bojonegoro District Government.

Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited Senior Vice President Muhammad Nurdin said the Amdal revision was related to an increase in production capacity from 220,000 barrels per day to 235,000 BPD. This capacity has been based on a series of tests by adjusting environmental and emissions aspects. The amount also adjusts to the capacity of the production capacity.

It's just that he did not discuss details about the problems experienced by Exxon with the Bojonegoro District Government so that the Amdal revision was not immediately approved. Even when Commission VII of the Indonesian House of Representatives alluded to the issue of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities that were considered to be a trouble maker, Exxon did not give a firm answer.

"A high rate test has been carried out and submitted as a revised EIA document," he said at a hearing (RDP) between Commission VII and 10 Contractors Cooperation Contract (KKKS).

Meanwhile, the age of the Cepu Block will also be longer because of the discovery of proven reserves that are almost twice the previous estimate. The Banyu Urip field oil and gas reserves in the Plan of Development (POD) were 325 million barrels. At present, the proven field reserve is 940 million barrels.

"This means the peak of the field will be longer than the Banyu Urip Field prediction during the POD," said Nurdin.

Previously, SKK Migas Head Dwi Soetjipto said that in accordance with the results of the high rate test (HRT), the Banyu Urip Field was able to produce oil so 235,000 BPD safely. Dwi did not mention the specific target of the Amdal Banyu Urip Field revision was completed, but he hoped that all licensing processes could be completed quickly.

Exxon Koordinasi Dengan SKK Migas

ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) mengaku sedang berkoordinasi dengan Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) untuk mengurus pengajuan revisi Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal) Lapangan Banyu Urip di Blok Cepu ke Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro. 

Senior Vice President Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited Muhammad Nurdin mengatakan revisi Amdal tersebut berkaitan dengan peningkatan kapasitas produksi dari sebesar 220.000 barel per hari menjadi 235.000 bph. Kapasitas tersebut sudah berdasarkan serangkaian pengujian dengan menyesuaikan aspek lingkungan dan emisi. Besaran tersebut juga menyesuaikan dengan kemampuan kapasitas produksi.

Hanya saja dia tidak membahas detail mengenai permasalahan yang dialami antara Exxon dengan Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro sehingga revisi Amdal tidak segera disetujui. Bahkan ketika Komisi VII Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Indonesia menyinggung soal kegiatan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) yang dinilai menjadi trouble maker, Exxon tidak memberikan jawaban tegas.

“Sudah dilakukan high rate test dan diajukan sebagai dokumen Amdal revisi,” katanya dalam Rapat Dengar Pendapat (RDP) antara Komisi VII dengan 10 Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS).

Sementara itu umur Blok Cepu juga akan lebih lama karena adanya penemuan cadangan terbukti yang besarnya hampir dua kali lipat dari perkiraan sebelumnya. Adapun cadangan migas lapangan Banyu Urip dalam Plan Of Development (POD) sebelumnya adalah sebanyak 325 juta barel. Saat ini, cadangan terbukti lapangan tersebut adalah sebesar 940 juta barel.

“Ini artinya peak lapangan akan lebih lama dari prediksi Lapangan Banyu Urip saat POD dulu,” kata Nurdin.

Sebelumnya, Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan sesuai dengan hasil high rate test (HRT), Lapangan Banyu Urip mampu memproduksi minyak sehingga 235.000 bph dengan aman. Dwi tidak menyebut target khusus revisi Amdal Lapangan Banyu Urip rampung, tetapi dia berharap semua proses perizinan dapat diselesaikan dengan cepat.
