Aramco Lepas Balongan & Dumai

    Saudi Aramco, perusahaan minyak milik Arab Saudi, melepas komitmen untuk bermitra dengan PT Pertamina  dalam proyek penambahan kapasitas atau revitalisasi Kilang Balongan di Jawa Barat dan Kilang Dumai di Riau. Direktur Megaproyek Kilang dan Petrokimia Pertamina Rachmad Hardadi mengatakan, kesepakatan atau head of agreement (HOA) dengan Aramco terkait proyek penambahan kapasitas Kilang Balongan dan Kilang Dumai tidak diperpanjang.

    Hardadi menyebut pihaknya harus melakukan kajian apakah akan melanjutkan proyek sendiri seperti pada Kilang Balikpapan atau mencari mitra baru. Dia menyebut beberapa faktor pertimbangan seperti waktu penyelesaian dan aspek finansial. “HoA antara Saudi Aramco untuk Balongan dan Dumai sudah berakhir 26 November 2016,” ujarnya usai jumpa pers pembentukan perusahaan patungan Pertamina dan Aramco dalam proyek Kilang Cilacap, Kamis (22/ 12).

    Pertamina meminta revitalisasi Kilang Balongan dan Dumai harus selesai pada September 2019. Dia menargetkan, penambahan kapasitas Kilang Balongan bisa diselesaikan pada akhir 2019 atau paling lambat pada pertengahan 2020 kendati rencana awal selesai pada 2023. Pasokan nafta ke Kilang Balongan berpotensi terganggu karena bahan baku itu diserap oleh Kilang Balikpapan. Oleh karena itu, proses penambahan kapasitas Kilang Balongan yang berlokasi di Indramayu itu harus cepat diselesaikan.

    Proyek peningkatan kapasitas Kilang Balongan dari 125.000 barel per hari (bph) menjadi 280.000 bph membutuhkan biaya sekitar US$2,7 miliar. Sementara itu, proyek penambahan kapasitas Kilang Dumai dari 175.000 bph menjadi 300.000 bph membutuhkan biaya US$4,2 miliar. Namun, Pertamina akan menghitung kembali nilai investasi yang dibutuhkan dalam proyek tersebut.

    Pada 2017, untuk kegiatan akusisi aset hulu di iuar negeri seperti di Iran dan Rusia juga proyek di sektor pengolahan seperti Kilang Balikpapan, Kilang Tuban, Kilang Baiongan, dan Kilang Tuban, perseroan sudah mengalokasikan belanja modal US$5 miliar-US$6 miliar. “Nanti kami lihat. Jadi gini, kalau ternyata Pertamina bisa run (bekerja) dengan our capability [kemampuan internal, tentu tidak perlu mencari partner (pengganti Aramcol)," katanya.

    Dalam kesempatan yang sama, Direktur Utama Saudi Aramco Amin Nasser mengatakan, pihaknya masih menaruh minat terhadap proyek Kilang Dumai dan Kilang Balongan. Namun, pihaknya perlu melakukan kajian terlebih dahulu yang diperkirakan tuntas pada 2017.  Menurutnya, Indonesia menjadi salah satu tujuan investasi di sektor pengolahan selain China dan Malaysia. “Kami akan melihat kemungkinan di Dumai dan Balongan,” katanya. Direktur Utama Pertamina Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan, pihaknya telah mengukuhkan kemitraan dengan Saudi Aramco untuk menambah kapasitas Kilang Cilacap dari 348.00 bph menjadi 400.000 bph.

    Pertamina dan Aramco menandatangani kesepakatan kerja sama untuk membentuk perusahaan patungan di proyek Kilang Cilacap. Setelah memperpanjang head of agreement (HOA) sebanyak dua kali, tutur Dwi, empat poin telah disepakati sejak akhir November 2016. Empat poin yang telah disepakati yakni terkait pasokan minyak mentah, kontrol manajemen, lifting, dan valuasi aset Kilang Cilacap. Dengan kesepakatan tersebut, pihaknya pun optimistis proyek bisa berjalan bahkan dipercepat.

    Untuk menyelesaikan proyek lebih cepat, pihaknya harus memulai persiapan iahan pada 2017 yang dilanjutkan dengan tahap pendefinisian proyek selama setahun.  Kemudian, kata Dwi, konstruksi fisik dilakukan pada 2019. “Awalnya proyek ini selesai 2022, tetapi dalam rapat terakhir, CEO Saudi Aramco Amin Nasser menantang tim dan commit untuk menyelesaikan di 2021,” ujarnya. Revitalisasi Kilang Cilacap butuh investasi US$ 5 miliar yang nantinya akan dibagi sesuai dengan kepemilikan saham. Pertamina menguasai 55% dan Aramco 15%. Pasokan minyak mentah akan didatangkan Aramco sebanyak 270.000 bph.

    Sisanya, yakni sekitar 130.000 bph akan dipasok Pertamina. Melalui proyek tersebut, Kilang Cilacap akan menghasilkan tambahan produk berupa gasolin (Premium, Pertalite, dan seri Pertamax) 80.000 bph, solar 60.000 bph dan avtur 40.000 bph dengan standar emisi Euro 5. Selain itu, unit produksi bahan bakar minyak pun akan terhubung dengan unit produksi pelumas dan petrokimia.

"We will look at the possibilities in Dumai and Balongan," he said. Pertamina President Director Dwi Soetjipto said it has forged a partnership with Saudi Aramco to increase the capacity of 348.00 bpd Cilacap refinery to 400,000 bpd.

    Pertamina and Aramco signed a cooperation agreement to establish a joint venture in the Cilacap refinery project. After extending the head of agreement (HOA) twice, said Dwi, four points have been agreed upon since the end of November 2016. The four points that have been agreed which is related to the supply of crude oil, management control, lifting and asset valuation Cilacap refinery. With the agreement, the company was optimistic that the project could run even accelerated.

    To complete the project faster, it should begin preparations iahan in 2017, followed by the stage of defining the project for a year. Then, said Dwi, physical construction carried out in 2019. "Initially the project was completed in 2022, but in the last meeting, the CEO of Saudi Aramco Amin Nasser challenged the team and commit to completing in 2021," he said. Revitalisation of Cilacap need to invest US $ 5 billion which will be divided according to the ownership of shares. Pertamina Aramco accounts for 55% and 15%. The supply of crude oil would be imported as much as 270,000 bpd Aramco.

    The rest, which is about 130,000 bpd will be supplied by Pertamina. Through the project, the Cilacap refinery will produce additional products such as gasoline (Premium, Pertalite, and series Pertamax) 80,000 bpd, 60,000 bpd diesel and jet fuel 40,000 bpd with the emission standards Euro 5. In addition, the unit's fuel production will be connected to the unit production of lubricants and petrochemicals.

Pertamina Projected to be Upstream Industry’s Sole Contractor

    Pertamina is projected to become the sole contractor in the upstream oil and gas industry as part of the government’s efforts to boost cost eficiency. The state-owned petroleum giant would be prioritized in all oil and gas working areas in the upstream industry after contracts with all contractors expire in the future, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Ignasius Jonan said recently, adding that the upcoming assignment was based on an instruction from President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

    The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry’s Regulation No. 15/2015 already lays out several options. They include the options of Pertamina taking over the contracts, the government extending partnerships with existing contractors and Pertamina entering collaboration with the contractors themselves. As of November, there were 284 oil and gas working areas nationwide, down from 313 in January according to the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKK Migas).

    During the January to November period, those areas produced a total of 833 million barrels of oil per day (mbopd) and 7.9 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of gas. Contracts for 35 working areas will end in the period of 2017 to 2026, including contracts of French oil and gas giant Total E&P Indonesie that operates the gas-rich Mahakam block in East Kalimantan and US- based energy giant Chevron Pacific Indonesia that operates the Rokan block in Riau Islands.

    Total E&P’s contract will expire in 2017, while that of Chevron’s will expire in 2021. “We hope Pertamina can further reduce the production costs after it takes over all of those areas. Other wise, there is no point of giving them such an assignment,” Jonan said, adding that Pertamina would still be able to form partnerships with foreign investors in the process. The government is also putting high hopes on Pertamina tightening its belt if the plan materializes. “Since you cannot manage the selling price of oil, you have to manage the cost wisely,” Jonan said.

    Hadi lsmoyo, the secretary-general of the Indonesian Association for Petroleum Engineers (IATMI), said the government’s instruction to Pertamina was in accordance with Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, which mandates state control over all natural resources in the country. “Private contractors can still join tenders for new working areas in future. lt doesn’t mean that we will close all of the opportunities for them,” he said.

    On the other hand, the plan will force Pertamina to improve its Financial performance, considering the number of working areas it might take charge of in the future. “Pertamina will be flooded with oil and gas blocks. Hence, it needs a big amount of funds to manage all of it efficiently, including from global financial institutions. On the upside, though, existing working areas that have started producing oil and gas are relatively easy to manage compared to new ones,” Hadi went on.

    Pertamina data show the company more than doubled year-on-year net profit to more than US$3 billion from January to November amid low global oil prices. It attributed the positive performance to efliciency measures worth up to $1.8 billion, including the renegotiation of contracts and operational cost cuts. At the same time, its overall short term loans decreased to $140 million from $4.98 billion in the same period last year.
