“Kami menargetkan seleksi strategic partner selesai pada akhir April dan dilanjutkan penyelesaian bankability feasibility study (BFS) pada akhir 2017,” kata dia ketika membuka Project Expose Grass Root Refinery Bontang di Jakarta, Selasa (28/ 2). Dia menambahkan, terdapat empat karakteristik utama calon mitra yang dikehendaki Pertamina.
Rincinya, memiliki rekam jejak yang kuat pada industri pengolahan minyak, utamanya kehandalan operasional dan eksekusi proyek, dapat menyesuaikan dengan struktur dan model bisnis yang dikehendaki Pertamina, memiliki keinginan kuat untuk percepatan proyek dan menyelesaikannya pada 2023, serta memberikan nilai menarik bagi proyek Kilang Bontang. “Batas pengajuan dokumen Request for Information yakni pada 2 April," ujar Senior Vice President Business Development Pertamina Iriawan Yulianto.
Setelah pengajuan dokumen, perseroan akan melakukan seleksi dan menetapkan mitra strategis pada akhir April 2017. Saat ini, kedua perusahaan akan meneken frame work agreement (FWA) sekaligus menyetor masing-masing US$ 5 juta dalam rekening bersama sebagai pernyataan komitmen.
Selanjutnya, bankability feasibility study (BFS) ditargetkan selesai akhir 2017. Saat itu, Pertamina dan mitra wajib menyetor lagi ke rekening bersama masing-masing US$ 10 juta. Tahap berikutnya, perseroan dan mitra akan mengerjakan desain dasar (basic engineering design/ BED) yang ditargetkan selesai pada kuartal keempat 2018, desain rinci (front end engineering design/ FEED) rampung pada kuartal kedua 2019, dan mulai konstruksi pada saat yang sama. “Konstruksi kilang ditargetkan selesai pada Juli 2023 dilanjutkan dengan COD (commercial on date/operasi komersil) ,” jelasnya.
Dia menjelaskan, kapasitas minimal Kilang Bontang ditetapkan sebesar 300 ribu barel per hari (bph) dan dapat berubah menjadi lebih besar dalam diskusi dengan mitra. Selanjutnya, kilang di inginkan dapat menghasilkan bensin sebesar 60 ribu bph dan diesel oil 124 ribu bph. Sementara untuk volume produk petrokimia belum ditentukan. “Produksi gasoline dan jet fuel 100% akan diambil Pertamina. Sementara diesel, worst case, 100% diekspor. Tetapi ini marketnya menarik,” kata Hardadi.
Insentif
Hardadi menuturkan, investasi Kilang Bontang di jamin akan menarik bagi calon mitra. Hal ini lantaran sudah tersedianya lahan dan sebagian peralatan yang diperlukan seperti pembangkit listrik dan pasokan nitrogen, serta infrastruktur pendukung seperti pemukiman dan banda udara. Sehingga pembangunan kilang ini tidak dimulai dari nol. Kemudian, lokasi Bontang yang dekat dengan Filipina, Papua Nugini, dan Australia juga menjadi keuntungan bagi calon investor.
Beberapa trader telah menyatakan lebih baik mengambil pasokan dari Bontang, daripada harus dari Singapura yang lebih jauh jaraknya. “Dua trader telah menyatakan siap offtake dengan medium term dan long term untuk pasar Filipina, Australia, dan Papua Nugini,” kata dia.
Insentif lainnya, ada beberapa yang sesuai dengan ketentuan pemerintah. Pertama, lahan dapat disewa selama 30 tahun sampai maksimal 50 tahun oleh perseroan dan mitranya. Kemudian, investor dapat memilih antara tax holiday atau tax allowance, “Tetapi tidak bisa meminta keduanya sekaligus, harus memilih salah satu,” ujarnya.
Tax holiday yang diberikan yakni berkisar 10- 100% selama 5-15 tahun dan dapat diperpanjang sampai 20 tahun, sementara tax allowance yakni pengurangan 30% atas pajak investasi aset selama enam tahun, percepatan depresiasi dan amortisasi, pajak penghasilan lebih rendah kurang dari 10%, dan kompensasi tambahan 5-10 tahun jika terjadi fiscal loss.
Untuk porsi kepemilikan saham, Pertamina akan masuk dengan minimal kepemilikan sekitar 5% hingga 25 % pada tahap awal. Namun, perseroan selanjutnya mempunyai hak atau pilihan untuk meningkatkan kepemilikan dalam periode yang akan disepakati kemudian. Sehingga, mitra akan memegang saham mayoritas, kata Hardadi.
