The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) will accelerate the submission of plans for the development of oil and gas fields. One example of the acceleration done is through the certification of reserves in the Saka Kemang Block.

Repsol, the cooperation contract contractor (KKKS) for the block manager, is reported to have been gradually certifying oil and gas reserves in order to accelerate POD.

In the initial certification the amount of reserves included was only 1 Trillion Cubic Feet (TCF) from proven potential reserves of around 2 TCF. Sakakemang Block is one of the largest oil and gas discoveries in the world during the 2018-209 period.
"What I heard was preparing for POD earlier this year," explained Deputy Operations of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) JuIius Wiratno.
Acting Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Ego Syahrial hopes SKK Migas can make efforts to accelerate the oil and gas field PoD. Because many oil and gas blocks have not yet entered the PoD stage. In fact, the block could have great potential.
"There are still many, such as in Masela, there are those who will only enter PoD in 2027. If it can be accelerated," said Ego Syahrial.
Actually, efforts to accelerate the PoD have begun to be carried out by SKK Migas. Earlier this year SKK Migas launched the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) program to facilitate licensing so that it could accelerate the implementation of oil and gas projects in Indonesia.
With ODSP, both SKK Migas and KKKS will become a team. Both of them coordinate with each other while proactively overseeing the licensing process. KKKS also does not need to operate independently in managing oil and gas project licensing.
