Pertamina Focuses on Increasing Production

 

PT Pertamina (Persero) through its subsidiary continues to work on completing the work plan that has been launched, in order to increase the company's contribution to the achievement of national oil production.

In 2019, Pertamina's upstream contribution is around 41% of total national production, while this year it is targeted to increase to 49%. Furthermore, in 2021 Pertamina's contribution is expected to reach 60%, especially with the company's entry into the Rokan Block.

President Director of PT Pertamina EP Eko Agus Sardjono said that in facing the remainder of the 2020 period, the Pertamina subsidiary will focus on optimizing domestic gas absorption which is expected to be able to boost gas and condensate production.

"Apart from that, Pertamina EP also focuses on completing work plans for drilling exploration wells, seismic surveys, drilling development wells, workover, and well service so that the performance achievement at the end of the year can be achieved optimally," he said.

As of August 2020, Pertamina EP has realized 58 wells and 5 wells are underway, while the revised 2020 Corporate Budget Work Plan (RKAP) target is 79 wells. Meanwhile, 107 rework activities have been completed and 7 are in progress from the revised RKAP 2020 target of 192 activities. Realization of well maintenance and well intervention 2,103 activities have been completed from the revised 2020 RKAP target of 2,547 activities.

In addition, in August 2020 Pertamina EP has increased production through 4 development wells located in the work area of ​​Pertamina EP Asset 1, Asset 2, Asset 3, and Asset 5. With the additional production in August, overall Pertamina EP development drilling activities The 2020 Work Plan has succeeded in contributing 7,809 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and 5.6 MMscfd of gas to Pertamina EP's overall oil and gas production.

In accordance with the 2020 revised RKAP, until July 2020 Pertamina EP oil production reached 80.3 MBOPD or 99.6% of the target, and gas production was 866 MMscfd or 95% of the target. 

    Chief Executive Officer of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (Subholdingupstream) Budiman Parhusip previously explained that the realization of Pertamina EP, which was still below the target, was caused by obstacles that arose during the Covid-19 pandemic and also low world oil prices. On the other hand, Pertamina will also disburse the US $ 80 million for drilling wells in the Rokan Block during the transition period which will start in August 2021.

President Director of Pertamina Hulu Rokan, RP Yudantoro, explained that during the transition period, the company will begin drilling as many as 44 wells in the Rokan Block. He said Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) together with the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) had determined the coordinates of the entire well being drilled.

Currently, his party is preparing a rig for the drilling process. Pertamina Hulu Rokan needs 5 units - 6 units of rigs for drilling in 2021. Later, the rig units will be provided by PT Pertamina Drilling Service Indonesia (PDSI).

"We drilled the US $ 1.5 million for each well — only US $ 2 million," he said.

PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI)

Next year, it is targeted that as many as 184 wells will be drilled to smooth the transition of the management of the Rokan Block from PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) to Pertamina. Yudantoro added that his party continues to strive to accelerate the transfer of exploration and exploitation data from the main fields so that they can immediately prepare for the drilling of 44 wells in the Rokan Block. Pertamina targets to carry out the drilling immediately after the transition from Chevron to PHR on August 9, 2021.

"PHR will ensure that drilling preparations from August to December 2021 can run smoothly, therefore intensive communication will be carried out with CPI so that the data transfer process, information procedures [SOP], and land preparation can run quickly, without significant obstacles," he explained.

In addition, Yudantoro continued, currently, the process is still being carried out, among others, the construction process of replacing a 364 km long trunk line that carries crude oil from the Rokan field to a storage tank in Dumai, which can then be used as a supply for product processing at the Pertamina Dumai Refinery.

ROKAN BLOCK TRANSITIONS

PHR, he said, is also preparing for the transition of Chevron workers who will later be empowered at PHR and at Pertamina in accordance with applicable regulations, such as workers in other management transfer blocks that Pertamina has previously handled.

"With the support of all stakeholders, we all hope that the transition in the Rokan Block can go well so that it can maintain oil and gas production to encourage national energy security and independence," he added.

The performance of a number of Pertamina's subsidiaries that were operators in several oil and gas blocks previously received the spotlight because they did not reach the set target. Based on SKK Migas data, as of June 2020, there were four Pertamina subsidiaries that did not reach the ready-made or lifting oil production target. In fact, so far, it is included in the top 15 cooperation contract companies (KKKS) as contributors to the national oil and gas lifting.

SKK Migas also asked Pertamina EP to optimize this year's work plan so that the production target is ready to sell or lifting can be achieved. Acting Head of Program and Communication Division of SKK Migas Susana Kurniasih said that the optimization of Pertamina EP's work plan must be realized because the contribution of this optimization will greatly affect the achievement of the lifting target.

"We hope that Pertamina EP can realize all the programs planned in the remaining 2020," he said.

Trisakti University teaching staff, Pri Agung Rakhmanto, assessed that Pertamina EP's performance results have an important influence and role in the national lifting performance. This is because Pertamina EP's overall production is around 82,000 bpd. He considered that the weakening of oil prices and the Covid-19 pandemic affected the capability investment of a number of oil and gas companies and must implement efficiency so that currently optimization is very necessary.

"It is quite important, Pertamina EP's overall production is around 10% -12% of the total national lifting," he explained.

Worker Innovations Generate Pertamina EP Efficiency

PT Pertamina EP recorded value creation consisting of efficiency (cost-saving) and additional revenue from the creativity and innovation of company workers over the past three years totaling the US $ 566 million or equivalent to Rp 7.8 trillion (average exchange rate of Rp13,925 per US dollar on last three years) of the target of US $ 87.5 million.

Of the 1,602 innovations produced by Pertamina EP (PEP) workers in the 2017-2019 period, 98 innovations have been replicated, even five of which were patented at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. 

    Five innovations of PEP workers who have obtained patents in the Ministry of Law and Human Rights are PEP Asset 3 Jatibarang Field PC Prove Work Over Well Services (WOWS) in Indramayu, West Java in the form of Tubing Test Plug, PC Prove is just like that of PEP Asset 1 Jambi Field in Jambi in the form of an electronic data recording buffer to measure underwater well pressure, and IP Centribike from PEP Asset 5 Sangasanga Field in Kutai Kartanegara, East Kalimantan in the form of portable oil well water content analysis tools.

Then RT Prove SPE from PEP Asset 4 Tanjung Field in Tabalong Regency, South Kalimantan took the form of a pressure gauge at oil well and Prove Super Cyclone PC from PEP Asset 5 Tarakan Field in Tarakan City, North Kalimantan in the form of a sand separator in the oil production well. 

    Thanks to the innovation support of these workers, the production of a subsidiary of PT Pertamina Persero as well as a cooperation contract contractor (KKKS) under the supervision of SKK Migas in the last three years has also increased.

In 2017 oil production was 77,154 barrels per day (BOPD), rising to 79,445 BOPD in 2018, and last year to 82,213 BOPD. While gas production was 1,018 BOPD in 2017, an increase compared to 2016 which recorded 989 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), then 1,017 MMSCFD in 2018, and 959 MMSCFD in 2019.

Tutuka Ariadji, Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the Bandung Institute of Technology, said that the innovation of the patented PEP workers was encouraging news. This will motivate institutions and workers to develop further and wider forms of innovation.

"These tools are part of the surveillance (monitoring) important parameters in oil production. Surveillance is the key to success in reservoir management, "he said.

According to Tutuka, innovation affects the increase in production, increase, and also budget savings.

"Innovation needs to be linked to increased oil and gas production, optimization of field development and digitalization," he said.

Beny Lubiantara, Chair of the Opinion and Study Division of the Indonesian Petroleum Engineering Association, said true innovation is not an option but a necessity. Especially in the era of low oil prices, breakthroughs through innovation are expected to not only make the process more simple and effective but also have an impact on cost efficiency and production optimization.

"Innovation is always triggered by colleagues in the field who run production operations every day and encounter problems in the field. Many problems are challenging and encourage simple innovations that fit the needs in the field or fit for purpose, "he said.

Beny said all PEP workers' innovations are useful to reduce costs, speed up data acquisition, and reduce wellness problems.

"RT Prove SPE and PC Prove Super Cyclone are indeed relative impacts are directly related to the optimization of production," he said.

According to him, even the simplest innovation works need to be patented. This is common in international upstream oil and gas industry practices. Innovations such as the five patents supported by PEP management will increasingly trigger the enthusiasm of colleagues in the field to think and find new ideas and innovations to anticipate challenges faced in the field which are increasingly complex.

"Workers in the upstream industry must be creative, many simple things can be improved in the field, IATMI strongly encourages innovations like this, one innovation will encourage new innovations again. The oil and gas industry is very dynamic, innovation is a must ! "he said.

Pri Agung Rakhmanto, the founder of the ReforMiner Institute, added that efficiency and innovation are a continuous process. This is very good and positive to increase production.

"However, this needs to be accompanied by efficiency and standardization in the procurement system," he said.

Pertamina Is Expected to Increase Lifting This Year

The Executive Director of the Center for Energy Policy, M. Kholid Syeirazi, said that in 2020 Pertamina was expected to be able to increase lifting, considering that the BUMN's performance in 2019 succeeded in exceeding the oil lifting target.

"I appreciate the achievement of Pertamina's achievement which exceeded last year's lifting target. For this reason, in 2020 I hope Pertamina can be more aggressive and dare to take risks to explore new areas, "he said as quoted by Antara.

Towards the end of 2019, Pertamina's oil lifting through Pertamina EP reached 29,939,653 BBL and Gas 272,954 MMSCF. Specifically for Pertamina EP Asset 3, it succeeded in producing 13,092 BOPD, equivalent to 100.6 percent of the WP&B target, while gas production reached 262 MMSCFD.

Based on that, Kholid believes that in 2020 Pertamina can increase lifting even more, but to achieve that, the company must be more daring to explore in new field areas.

Kholid added that the achievement could not be separated from the application of technology and human resources (HR) used by the state gas company. However, the use of high technology will impact Pertamina's high production costs. Besides that, the assignment of factors in a number of fields or oil and gas blocks was the trigger for Pertamina's success last year.

the Cepu Block

"This assignment factor has increased the amount of oil and gas production, one of which is the Cepu Block, which has contributed greatly to Pertamina. Not only Pertamina, but the Cepu Block production also contributes to the National oil and gas production, "he said.

Pertamina Diharapkan Tingkatkan Lifting Tahun Ini

Direktur Eksekutif Center for Energy Policy, M. Kholid Syeirazi, mengatakan pada 2020 Pertamina diharapkan bisa lebih meningkatkan lifting mengingat kinerja BUMN tersebut pada 2019 berhasil melampaui target lifting minyak.

“Saya mengapresiasi hasil pencapaian Pertamina yang berhasil melampaui target (lifting) tahun lalu. Untuk itu, tahun 2020 ini saya harap Pertamina bisa lebih agresif dan berani mengambil resiko (taking risk) untuk melakukan eksplorasi di wilayah-wilayah lapangan baru,” katanya seperti dikutip Antara.

Menjelang akhir 2019, lifting minyak Pertamina melalui Pertamina EP mencapai 29.939.653 BBL dan Gas 272.954 MMSCF. Khusus untuk Pertamina EP Asset 3, berhasil memproduksi 13,092 BOPD atau setara dengan 100,6 persen target WP&B, adapun produksi gas mencapai 262 MMSCFD. 

Berdasarkan hal itu, Kholid yakin pada 2020 Pertamina bisa lebih meningkatkan lifting tetapi untuk mencapai itu, perusahaan harus lebih berani melakukan eksplorasi di wilayah-wilayah lapangan baru. 

Kholid menambahkan, pencapaian itu tidak bisa lepas dari penerapan teknologi dan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) yang digunakan oleh perusahaan gas negara ini. Namun, penggunaan teknologi tinggi, akan berdampak tingginya cost produksi Pertamina. Selain itu faktor alih tugas sejumlah lapangan atau blok migas, jadi pemicu keberhasilan Pertamina di tahun lalu.

“Faktor alih tugas ini menambah jumlah produksi Migas, salah satunya Blok Cepu yang memberikan kontribusi sangat besar bagi Pertamina. Tidak hanya Pertamina, produksi Blok Cepu ini juga memberikan kontribusi bagi produksi migas Nasional,” katanya.

PT Pertamina EP, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero), projects oil production this year to reach 85,000 barrels per day (BOPD) and 932 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD). 

    To support the achievement of the targets set, Pertamina EP seeks to carry out the strategy by drilling wells included in the 2020 work plan since the end of 2019.

Pertamina EP President Director Nanang Abdul Manaf said, in the last two years, Pertamina EP oil production continued to rise. In 2019 there were 82,361 BOPD and 2018 amounted to 79,445 BOPD.

For gas production, according to the company's work plan, from 1,017 MMSCFD in 2018 to 959.24 MMSCFD. From the financial side, Pertamina EP targets revenues of the US $ 3.1 billion or Rp 44.64 trillion, assuming the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar is Rp. 14,400, with a net profit target of US $ 680 million.

Sanga-Sanga Field

Some drilling activities have been carried out in several Pertamina EP fields towards the end of last year, namely in the Rantau Field, Sanga-Sanga Field, Bunyu Field, and Subang Field.

"We also have activities to drill the waterflood well project in Jirak Village and explore the Kusuma Arum (KUM) -001 exploration well, both in South Sumatra," Nanang said in Jakarta.

In Rantau Field, drilling was carried out at KSB A-11 well located in Kualasimpang Barat structure, Aceh Tamiang Regency. Previously, in the same structure, the location of the KSB-59 well (KSB A-10) supported 44 BOPD in the total Overseas Field production in 2019. The KSB A-11 well was one of the programs to accelerate the increase in Overseas Field production.

"The well actually entered into the 2020 Work Plan which accelerated its work by the end of 2019 from a total of 11 drilling wells in Rantau Field this year. With a depth of approximately 1,317 meters, it is expected that the KSB A-11 well can contribute 200 BOPD for Rantau Field production, "explained Chalid Said Salim's Director of Operations and Production who was immediately present to inspect the location.

Still in the Asset 1 region, Jambi Field incised the achievement of increased production with the successful drilling of the SGC-27 oil well in Talang Belido Village, Sungai Gelam District, Jambi City with 280 BOPD results since 16 December 2019.

Following the production of SGC-27, Jambi Field was able to repair SGC-23 wells with crude oil production of 208 BOPD since 28 December 2019. With the addition of production from both wells, Pertamina EP Jambi Field's production increased from 2,792 BOPD in January 2019 became 3,105 BOPD at the end of 2019.

In Sangasanga Field, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan, Pertamina EP drilled the Louise-1119 (LSE-1119) well at LSE-P1704. The well was drilled by Pertamina Drilling Services Indonesia (PDSI) using a 700 M OW rig. The LSE-1119 well was drilled to the final depth of 1,500 meters.

"This well began to be drilled last Monday (30 / Dec 2019) and is targeted to be completed within 23 days and is predicted to increase 144 BOPD oil production," explained Nanang who was also present in the series of plows at the end of the year at the Asset 5 location. took place at the B-1830B drilling well at Bunyu Field in Bulungan District, North Kalimantan last December 2019.

The B-1803B well was drilled by PDSI using a PDSI rig, N110 M (1500 HP). The target depth of drilling is 3,300 meters deep and the completion time is 60 days. Hydrocarbons from these wells are predicted to contribute to Pertamina EP of 350 BOPD in the form of oil and gas of 1.50 MMSCFD.

Well drilling is also carried out in Subang Field. As a form of commitment to increasing the production of Pertamina EP Asset 3 conducted a JST-A2 well in Kalentambo Village, Pusakagara District, Subang Regency, West Java in the last week of December 2019. The invoice was formalized by Pertamina EP Director of Finance & Business Support Adi Prasetyana.

Through a trowel using the PDSI rig # 31.3 / D1550E, it is expected to increase Pertamina EP Asset 3 oil production by 300 BOPD and gas by 2.4 MMSCFD.

The injection wells aim to inject water with an underground maintenance process so as to increase production. In the South Sumatra region, Pertamina EP conducted a JRK-P3 well in the Jirak Village, Musi Banyuasin Regency.

According to Pertamina EP Development Director John Hisar Simamora, the JKR-P3 well was originally planned for drilling in 2020 but accelerated in 2019 with hopes of faster hydrocarbons.

"This is according to the instructions of the President who was assigned to Pertamina, that Pertamina must provide resilience to the national oil and gas industry, in addition to reducing imports, by increasing production to reduce imports," he said.

Exploration well drilling activities were also carried out by Pertamina EP at Kusuma Arum (KUM) -001 well. Located in Batanghari Village, Semidang Aji District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. This well drilling is projected for 98 days with a target depth of 2,304 meters with a production target of 5 MMSCFD and a resource or reserve target of 59.6 BCFG.

Nanang Abdul Manaf hopes that by accelerating well-drilling activities from 2020 to the end of 2019, this year's Pertamina EP production target can be achieved. Moreover, the company has allocated capital expenditure this year of US $ 784 million and operational expenditure of US $ 1.24 billion.

Tingkatkan Percepatan Produksi, Pertamina EP Agresif Bor Sumur

PT Pertamina EP, anak perusahaan PT Pertamina (Persero), memproyeksikan produksi minyak tahun ini sebesar 85.000 barel per hari (BOPD) dan gas 932 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD). Untuk mendukung pencapaian target yang telah ditetapkan, Pertamina EP berupaya menjalankan strategi dengan melakukan pemboran sumur-sumur yang masuk dalam rencana kerja 2020 sejak akhir 2019.

Presiden Direktur Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf mengatakan, dalam dua tahun terakhir, produksi minyak Pertamina EP terus naik. Pada 2019 tercatat 82.361 BOPD dan 2018 sebesar 79.445 BOPD. 

Untuk produksi gas, sesuai rencana kerja perusahaan, dari 1.017 MMSCFD pada 2018 menjadi 959,24 MMSCFD. Dari sisi finansial, Pertamina EP menargetkan pendapatan sebesar US$ 3,1 miliar atau Rp 44,64 triliun dengan asumsi kurs rupiah terhadap dolar AS sebesar Rp14.400, dengan target laba bersih US$ 680 juta. 

Beberapa kegiatan pemboran telah dilakukan di beberapa lapangan Pertamina EP menjelang akhir tahun lalu, yaitu di Rantau Field, Sanga-sanga Field, Bunyu Field, dan Subang Field.

“Kami juga ada kegiatan mengebor sumur waterflood project di Desa Jirak dan tajak sumur eksplorasi Kusuma Arum (KUM)-001, keduanya di Sumatra Selatan,” ujar Nanang di Jakarta. 

Di Rantau Field, pemboran dilakukan di sumur KSB A-11 yang berada di struktur Kualasimpang Barat, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang. Sebelumnya, di struktur yang sama lokasi sumur KSB-59 (KSB A-10) menopang 44 BOPD pada total produksi Rantau Field pada 2019. Sumur KSB A-11 merupakan salah satu program percepatan peningkatan produksi Rantau Field.

“Sumur tersebut sebenarnya masuk ke Rencana Kerja 2020 yang dipercepat pengerjaannya pada akhir 2019 dari total 11 sumur pengeboran di Rantau Field tahun ini. 

Dengan kedalaman kurang lebih 1.317 meter diharapkan sumur KSB A-11 dapat berkontribusi sebesar 200 BOPD untuk produksi Rantau Field,” terang Direktur Operasi dan Produksi Chalid Said Salim yang hadir langsung untuk meninjau lokasi.

Masih dalam wilayah Asset 1, Jambi Field menorehkan prestasi peningkatan produksi dengan keberhasilan pemboran sumur minyak SGC-27 di Desa Talang Belido, Kecamatan Sungai Gelam, Kota Jambi dengan hasil 280 BOPD sejak 16 Desember 2019. 

Menyusul produksi SGC-27, Jambi Field pun berhasil melakukan reparasi sumur SGC-23 dengan produksi crude oil sebesar 208 BOPD sejak 28 Desember 2019. Dengan adanya penambahan produksi dari kedua sumur tersebut, produksi Pertamina EP Jambi Field mengalami peningkatan dari 2.792 BOPD di bulan Januari 2019 menjadi 3.105 BOPD pada akhir tahun 2019. 

Di Sangasanga Field Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara, Kalimantan Timur, Pertamina EP mengebor sumur Louise-1119 (LSE-1119) di lokasi LSE-P1704. Sumur tersebut dibor oleh Pertamina Drilling Services Indonesia (PDSI) menggunakan rig OW 700 M. Sumur LSE-1119 dibor hingga kedalaman akhir 1.500 meter.

“Sumur ini mulai dibor pada Senin (30/Des 2019) lalu dan ditargetkan selesai dalam waktu 23 hari dan diprediksi menambah produksi minyak 144 BOPD,” terang Nanang yang turut hadir dalam rangkaian tajak di akhir tahun pada lokasi Asset 5. Kegiatan tajak sumur juga berlangsung di sumur pengeboran B-1830B di Bunyu Field di Kabupaten Bulungan, Kalimantan Utara Desember 2019 lalu.

Sumur B-1803B dibor oleh PDSI dengan menggunakan rig PDSI, N110 M (1500 HP). Target kedalaman pengeboran sedalam 3.300 meter dan waktu penyelesaian selama 60 hari. Hidrokarbon dari sumur ini diprediksi memberikan sumbangsih bagi Pertamina EP sebesar 350 BOPD berupa minyak dan gas sebesar 1,50 MMSCFD. 

Pengeboran sumur juga dilaksanakan di Subang Field.

“Ini sesuai instruksi Bapak Presiden yang ditugaskan ke Pertamina, bahwa Pertamina harus menyediakan ketahanan industri migas nasional, selain kita mengurangi impor, dengan memperbanyak produksi untuk mengurangi impor tersebut,” ujarnya.

Kegiatan pengeboran sumur eksplorasi juga dilakukan Pertamina EP di sumur Kusuma Arum (KUM)-001. Berlokasi di Desa Batanghari, Kecamatan Semidang Aji, Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu. Pemboran sumur ini diproyeksikan selama 98 hari dengan target kedalaman 2.304 meter dengan target produksi 5 MMSCFD dan target sumber daya atau cadangan sebesar 59,6 BCFG. 

Nanang Abdul Manaf berharap dengan percepatan kegiatan pengeboran sumur dari 2020 ke akhir 2019, target produksi Pertamina EP tahun ini bisa tercapai. Apalagi perusahaan telah mengalokasikan belanja modal (capital expenditure) tahun ini sebesar US$ 784 juta dan belanja operasi (operational expenditure) sebesar US$ 1,24 miliar.

The Government Asks for Corridor Block Production Not to Decline

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif urged that oil and gas Corridor Block production be maintained or even increased. This follows that a Corridor Block (2023-2043) production cooperation contract (PSC) has been signed. 

Arifin Tasrif

     Arifin said, after the current contract expired at the Corridor Block was again managed by the existing contractor namely ConocoPhilip (Grissik) Ltd, Talisman Corridor LTd (Repsol), and PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Corridor.

ConocoPhilip

Because the government considers that the existing contractor has good technical and financial skills to continue managing this block. He hopes the existing contractor can make a positive contribution to state revenue and national oil and gas production. 

the Corridor Block

      Especially considering the Corridor Block is one of the largest natural gas producer blocks in Indonesia with gas production of 1,100 million cubic feet per day (million standard cubic feet per day / mmscfd) or 12% of total national production, and oil and condensate 6,600 barrels per day ( bph).

"With the contract extension being signed, so that [the contractor] not only maintains, but also increases the rate of oil and gas production in the Corridor Block, and seeks to discover new oil and gas reserves through exploration activities," he said in Jakarta.

Based on ESDM Ministry data, the new PSC Corridor Block will use a gross split scheme. Regarding the profit sharing (split), for base split and variable split, KKKS received a 48.5% allocation for oil and 53.5% for gas. Furthermore, progressive splits will be adjusted to developments in oil prices and cumulative oil and gas production. 

     Furthermore, the portion of participating interest rights (participating interest / PI) in the Corridor Block will also change after 2023. At present, ConocoPhilips holds a PI of 54%, Repsol 36%, and Pertamina 10%. After the existing PSC ends, ConocoPhilips has a 46% stake, Pertamina 30%, and 24% Repsol.

Repsol Girls

According to Arifin, before the contract was signed, the existing cooperation contract contractor (KKKS) had deposited a signature bonus of US $ 250 million. In addition, the contractor also promised a five-year fixed work commitment (KKP) of US $ 250 million. This number is the second largest since the signing of the contract in Indonesia.

"Hopefully with the signing of the Corridor Block gross split contract, it will hopefully arouse investors' enthusiasm for investment in Indonesia's upstream oil and gas," he said.

Referring to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources data, KKKS has proposed a number of activities that will be carried out using KKP funds. In the first year, the contractor will work on drilling one well in Rowung Lower Palembang-1 worth US $ 2.4 million and 3D seismic acquisition of US $ 23.93 million. In the second year, activities that will be carried out are drilling one well in Suban Lower Palembang-1 US $ 11.6 million and 3D seismic acquisition of US $ 31.53 million.

Following this, activities planned for the third year included the work of Telisa Well with two wells valued at US $ 20 million, 3D seismic acquisition of US $ 25 million, and the development of Suban Far East at US $ 33.04 million. 

     In the fourth year, the contractor will work on Telisa Well one well worth US $ 18.04 million, another prospect of US $ 28.2 million, and 3D seismic acquisition of US $ 20 million. Finally, in the fifth year, the activities that will be carried out are the development of Suban Far East of US $ 8.26 million and other prospects of US $ 28 million.

Although still managed by the existing contractor, the holder of the Corridor Block operator will change. Currently the operator of this block is ConocoPhilips. For three years, after 19 December 2023 to 19 December 2026, ConocoPililip remained the Corridor Block operator. After that, this block will enter the operatorhip transition period, where Pertamina will then switch to the operator. 

     The government did not specify how long this transition period would be. PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Corridor (PHE Corridor) President Director Taufik Aditiyawarman said, based on current data, the Corridor Block has an area of ​​2,095.25 kilometers square (km2) which is mostly located in South Sumatra Province. Pertamina also has four active work areas in the South Sumatra area, namely Pertamina EP Asset 1, Jambi Merang PHE, Ogan Komering PHE, and Raja Tempirai PHE.

Pemerintah Minta Produksi Blok Corridor Tidak Turun

Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif mendorong agar produksi migas Blok Corridor bisa dipertahankan atau bahkan dinaikkan. Hal ini menyusul telah ditandatangani kontrak kerja sama atau (production sharing contract/PSC) Blok Corridor untuk 2023-2043. 

     Arifin menuturkan, setelah kontrak yang berlaku saat ini berakhir pada Blok Corridor kembali dikelola oleh kontraktor eksisting yakni ConocoPhilip (Grissik) Ltd, Talisman Corridor LTd (Repsol), dan PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Corridor. 

Pasalnya, pemerintah menilai bahwa kontraktor eksisting memiliki kemampuan teknis dan keuangan yang baik untuk melanjutkan pengelolan blok ini. Pihaknya berharap kontraktor eksisting dapat memberikan kontribusi positif bagi penerimaan negara dan produksi migas nasional. 

     Apalagi mengingat Blok Corridor merupakan salah satu blok produsen gas bumi terbesar di Indonesia dengan produksi gas 1.100 juta kaki kubik per hari (million standard cubic feet per day/ mmscfd) atau 12% dari total produksi nasional, dan minyak dan kondensat 6.600 barel per hari (bph).

“Dengan ditandatanganinya perpanjangan kontrak, agar [kontraktor] tidak hanya mempertahankan, tetapi juga meningkatkan laju produksi migas di Blok Corridor, dan mengupayakan penemuan cadangan migas baru melalui kegiatan eksplorasi,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Berdasarkan data Kementerian ESDM, PSC baru Blok Corridor akan menggunakan skema bagi hasil kotor (gross split). Terkait besaran bagi hasil (split), untuk base split dan variable split, KKKS memperoleh jatah 48,5% untuk minyak dan 53,5% untuk gas. 

     Selanjutnya, progressif split akan disesuaikan dengan perkembangan harga minyak dan kumulatif produksi migas. Selanjutnya, porsi kepemilikan hak partisipasi (participating interest/PI) di Blok Corridor juga akan berubah setelah 2023. Saat ini, ConocoPhilips memegang PI sebesar 54%, Repsol 36%, dan Pertamina 10%. Setelah PSC yang ada berakhir, ConocoPhilips memiliki saham 46%, Pertamina 30%, dan Repsol 24%.

Menurut Arifin, sebelum kontrak diteken, kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) eksisting telah menyetorkan bonus tanda tangan sebesar US$ 250 juta. Selain itu, kontraktor juga menjanjikan komitmen kerja pasti (KKP) untuk lima tahun sebesar US$ 250 juta. Jumlah ini merupakan terbesar kedua sejak penandatanganan kontrak di Indonesia.

“Semoga dengan ditandatanganinya kontrak gross split Blok Corridor ini semoga semakin membangkitkan gairah investor untuk investasi di hulu migas Indonesia,” ujar dia. 

Mengacu data Kementerian ESDM, KKKS telah mengajukan sejumlah kegiatan yang akan dikerjakan menggunakan dana KKP. Pada tahun pertama, kontraktor akan menggarap pengeboran satu sumur di Dayung Lower Palembang-1 senilai US$ 2,4 juta dan akuisisi seismik 3D US$ 23,93 juta. Di tahun kedua, kegiatan yang akan dilakukan adalah pengeboran satu sumur di Suban Lower Palembang-1 US$ 11,6 juta dan akuisisi seismik 3D US$ 31,53 juta. 

Berikutanya, kegiatan yang direncanakan di tahun ketiga mencakup pengerjaan Telisa Well sebanyak dua sumur senilai US$ 20 juta, akuisisi seismik 3D US$ 25 juta, dan pengembangan Suban Far East US$ 33,04 juta. Pada tahun keempat, kontraktor akan mengerjakan Telisa Well satu sumur senilai US$ 18,04 juta, prospek lain US$ 28,2 juta, dan akuisisi seismik 3D US$ 20 juta. Terakhir, di tahun kelima, kegiatan yang akan dikerjakan adalah pengembangan Suban Far East US$ 8,26 juta dan prospek lain US$ 28 juta.

Meski tetap dikelola kontraktor eksisting, pemegang operator Blok Corridor akan berubah. Saat ini operator blok ini adalah ConocoPhilips. Selama tiga tahun, setelah 19 Desember 2023 hingga 19 Desember 2026, ConocoPhilip tetap menjadi operator Blok Corridor. 

     Setelah itu, blok ini akan memasuki masa transisi operatorship, di mana kemudian Pertamina akan beralih menjadi operator. Pemerintah tidak menentukan berapa lama masa transisi ini. 

     Direktur Utama PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Corridor (PHE Corridor) Taufik Aditiyawarman mengatakan, berdasarkan data saat ini, Blok Corridor memiliki luas 2.095,25 kilometer persegi (km2) yang sebagian besar berada di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Pertamina juga memiliki empat wilayah kerja aktif di area Sumatera Selatan, yaitu Pertamina EP Aset 1, PHE Jambi Merang, PHE Ogan Komering, dan PHE Raja Tempirai.
