Start Find Solutions

The process of negotiations between SKK Migas Jabanusa and Joint Operating Body (JOB) Pertamina-PetroChina East Java on the impact of flare gas upstream operators that began to find a bright spot. What were the results? Indeed, there is no agreement in the final. However, SKK Migas Jabanusa and JOB PPEJ willing to increase the ex-gratia from 2 months to 4 months. On the other hand, the lower the tension Rahayu village residents claim of 12 months (one year / 12 months) to 6 months.

SKK Migas head Jabanusa Ali Masyhar say, the abolition of the compensation policy flare impacts of operations JOB PPEJ in Rahayu village, District Soko as more and produced lower levels of production of this corporation. Simultaneously entrained gas burned in flares form also diminishing volume and pressure.

"Gas entrained-out volume is below 2 million cubic feet per day, so from the perspective of environmental impacts below the threshold," said Ali Masyhar.

Reality is based on a review conducted by an independent team from ITS Surabaya. Studies conducted since the ITS team since September 2015 to March 2016. The results of his study was released in July 2016.

"Earlier studies based their compensation policies, as well as an end to also be based on scientific studies which can be accounted for," said Ali Masyhar.

Independent assessment team ITS Surabaya, said FM JOB PPEJ Nusdi, not just involve JOB PPEJ and SKK Migas Jabanusa. Some skatekholders in Tuban. As the Environment Agency (BLH) Tuban, Rahayu Village Government, and other parties involved and coordinated.

FM manager JOB JOB PPEJ Nusdhi Septikaputra said PPEJ deliver correspondence about the impact assessment to BLH Tuban flare at 2 April 2015, February 15, 2015, June 29, 2015 and August, 2015.

While the government Rahayu Village, coordination and correspondence conducted on September 21, 2015 and December 22, 2015. "We also do not want their own wishes in this context," said the new Nusdhi served two months as FM JOB PPEJ.

Ali Masyhar delivered, the impact of flare compensation awarded SKK Migas and JOB PPEJ when the level of oil production from the field is managed by the corporation is quite high. At the peak of production in 2009, the level of oil lifting JOB PPEJ reached 40 thousand to 43 thousand barrels / day. Since late 2014 and early 2015, the oil production rate of JOB PPEJ under 15 thousand barrels per day. "Currently only about 10,500 barrels per day," said Ali Masyhar.

Therefore, the impact of flare caused also decreasing, from 20 million cubic feet per day to under 2 million cubic feet per day. "If you want reexamination, please" said Ali Masyhar.

Responding to this thorny issue, the Chairman of Parliament Tuban Miyadi proposed ex-gratia given for 6 months. Therefore, the release of the team's assessment Surabaya Institute of Technology (ITS) delivered in July 2016. Thus, within first 6 months of 2016 was seen no results of the study can be used as a handle objectively to stop awarding compensation flare effect that lasts seiak 2009 until the end of 2015. " If the object to mediation, using the positive law and filed a lawsuit to court. But, it should be remembered that step takes a long time, "Miyadi.

As of the end result a long meeting between all the parties still have not found a solution. SKK Migas Jabanusa has provided bids for the provision of ex-gratia for 4 months. Residents still want the offer increased provision of ex-gratia as much as 6 months.

"Actually, we wanted to finish this day with us give 4-month-gratia. But since this has not been agreed in consultation, then we will request this Rahayu village residents to SKK Migas in Jakarta, "said Ali.

Mulai Temukan Solusi 

Proses perundingan antara SKK Migas Jabanusa dan Joint Operating Body (JOB) Pertamina-PetroChina East Java soal dampak flare operator hulu migas itu mulai menemukan titik terang. Apa hasilnya? Memang, belum ada kesepakatan secara final. Namun demikian, SKK Migas Jabanusa dan JOB PPEJ bersedia menaikkan tali asih dari 2 bulan menjadi 4 bulan. Di sisi lain, warga Desa Rahayu menurunkan tensi tuntutannya dari 12 bulan (setahun/12 bulan) menjadi 6 bulan.

Kepala SKK Migas Jabanusa Ali Masyhar mengatakan, dihapuskannya kebijakan kompensasi dampak flare dari operasi JOB PPEJ di Desa Rahayu, Kecamatan Soko seiring makin turunnya tingkat produksi yang dihasilkan korporasi ini.  Sekaligus gas ikutan yang terbakar dalam bentuk flare juga makin menurun volume dan tekanannya. 

“Gas ikutan yang-keluar volumenya di bawah 2 juta kaki kubik per hari, sehingga dari perspektif dampak lingkungan di bawah ambang batas,” tegas Ali Masyhar.

Realitas itu didasarkan pada review yang dilakukan tim independen dari ITS Surabaya. Kajian tim ITS itu dilakukan sejak sejak September 2015 sampai Maret 2016. Hasil kajiannya dirilis pada Juli 2016.

“Awal adanya kebijakan kompensasi didasarkan kajian, demikian pula ketika mengakhiri juga didasarkan pada kajian ilmiah yang bisa dipertanggungjawabkan,” tegas Ali Masyhar. 

Kajian tim independen ITS Surabaya itu, tegas FM JOB PPEJ Nusdi, tidak sekadar melibatkan JOB PPEJ dan SKK Migas Jabanusa. Sejumlah skatekholders di Tuban. Seperti Badan Lingkungan Hidup (BLH) Tuban, Pemerintahan Desa Rahayu, dan pihak lainnya dilibatkan dan dikoordinasi. 

Manajer FM JOB PPEJ Nusdhi Septikaputra mengatakan JOB PPEJ menyampaikan korespondensi soal kajian dampak flare ini kepada BLH Tuban pada 2 April 2015, 15 Februari 2015, 29 Juni 2015 dan bulan Agustus 2015.

Sedangkan dengan pemerintah Desa Rahayu, koordinasi dan korespondensi dilakukan pada 21 September 2015 dan 22 Desember 2015. “Kami juga tidak mau seenaknya sendiri dalam konteks ini,” kata Nusdhi yang baru menjabat 2 bulan sebagai FM JOB PPEJ. 

Ali Masyhar menyampaikan, kompensasi dampak flare diberikan SKK Migas dan JOB PPEJ ketika tingkat produksi minyak dari lapangan yang dikelola korporasi ini cukup tinggi. Pada puncak produksi di tahun 2009, tingkat lifting minyak dari JOB PPEJ mencapai 40 ribu sampai 43 ribu barel/per hari. Sejak akhir 2014 dan awal 2015, tingkat produksi minyak dari JOB PPEJ di bawah 15 ribu barel per hari. “Saat ini hanya sekitar 10.500 barel per hari," tegas Ali Masyhar.

Karena itu, dampak flare yang ditimbulkan juga makin mengecil, dari 20 juta kaki kubik per hari menjadi di bawah 2 juta kaki kubik per hari. “Kalau mau diteliti ulang,  silahkan” kata Ali Masyhar.

Menyikapi persoalan pelik ini, Ketua DPRD Tuban Miyadi mengusulkan tali asih diberikan selama 6 bulan. Sebab, rilis hasil kajian tim Institut Teknologi Surabaya(ITS) disampaikan pada Juli 2016. Sehingga dalam tempo 6 bulan pertama 2016 dipandang belum ada hasil kajian yang bisa dijadikan pegangan secara obyektif untuk menghentikan pemberian kompensasi dampak flare yang berlangsung seiak 2009 sampai akhir 2015. “Jika keberatan dengan mediasi, menggunakan hukum positif dan itu mengajukan gugatan ke pengadilan. Tapi, harus di ingat langkah itu membutuhkan waktu lama,” Miyadi.

Adapun dari hasil akhir pertemuan panjang antara semua pihak tersebut masih belum menemukan solusi. SKK Migas Jabanusa telah memberikan tawaran untuk pemberian tali asih selama 4 bulan. Warga masih ingin tawaran tersebut dinaikkan pemberian tali asih sebanyak 6 bulan. 

“Sebenarnya kita ingin selesai hari ini juga dengan kita berikan 4 bulan tali asih. Tapi karena belum sepakat dalam musyawarah ini, maka kita akan mengajukan permintaan warga Desa Rahayu ini ke   SKK Migas di Jakarta," kata Ali.

Block 15 Gas Not Practice

Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources reported, deals Work Area (WK) of oil and gas in the past year has not reap optimal results. Of the 17 blocks on offer, only three blocks of interest of the company. "This is our challenge. Revised regulation so that oil and gas investments become attractive, "said Director General of Oil and Gas I Gusti Nyornan Wiratmaja.

The 15 blocks that consist of 13 conventional oil and gas working area and two non-conventional Work Area. The Ministry has closed deals nonconventional Work Area. As for the conventional block, the offering period continues. Wiratmaja reluctant rnemberitahukan 13 blocks conventionally not been sold on the grounds of the offering period has not ended. As for non-conventional block that does not sell is a coal methane gas blocks and blocks of gas king ampar shale rock.

To block that has not been sold, the government will auction by offering better terms and conditions that attract investors. One of them, implement schemes for gross proceeds or gross split. He claimed the scheme could improve oil and gas investment climate in Indonesia. Later, it is considered in the auction is not the amount of profit-sharing, but the technical proposal and the amount of signature bonus. "If you use gross split, more efficient, more profit," said Wiratmaja.

Last year, the government registered offering conventional block South CPP in Riau, Suremana I, in the Makassar Strait, South East Mandar, off the coast of South Sulawesi, and North Arguni in West Papua. Also Kasuri II in West Papua, Manakarra Mamuju, in the Makassar Strait; and Oti offshore East Kalimantan. Area was offered through open auction scheme.

To excite deals next year, the government is preparing a revision of Government Regulation No. 79 Year 2010 on the Operation Cost Refundable. This regulation is still being discussed in the Ministry Secretary of State to be proposed to the President. By revising the rules, gets kontraktror more legal and fiscal certainty.

15 Blok Migas Belum Laku

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral melaporkan, penawaran Wilayah Kerja (WK) minyak dan gas bumi pada tahun lalu belum menuai hasil optimal. Dari 17 blok yang ditawarkan, hanya tiga blok yang diminati perusahaan. “Ini menjadi tantangan kami. Regulasi direvisi supaya investasi migas menjadi atraktif,” kata Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi I Gusti Nyornan Wiratmaja.

Ke-15 blok itu terdiri atas 13 Wilayah kerja migas konvensional dan dua Wilayah Kerja non-konvensional. Kementerian sudah menutup penawaran Wilayah Kerja nonkonvensional. Adapun untuk blok konvensional, masa penawaran masih berlanjut. Wiratmaja enggan rnemberitahukan 13 blok konvensional yang belum laku dengan alasan masa penawaran belum berakhir. Adapun blok non-konvensional yang tidak laku adalah blok gas metan batu bara raja dan blok gas serpih batu ampar.

Untuk blok yang belum laku, pemerintah akan melelang ulang dengan menawarkan syarat dan ketentuan yang lebih menarik investor. Salah satunya, menerapkan skema bagi hasil kotor atau gross split. Dia mengklaim skema ini bisa memperbaiki iklim investasi migas Indonesia. Nantinya, hal yang dipertimbangkan dalam lelang bukan besaran bagi hasil, melainkan proposal teknis dan besaran bonus tanda tangan. “Kalau pakai gross split, lebih efisien lebih dapat profit,” ujar Wiratmaja.

Tahun lalu, pemerintah tercatat menawarkan blok konvensional South CPP di Riau, Suremana I, di Selat Makassar, South East Mandar, di lepas pantai Sulawesi Selatan, serta North Arguni di Papua Barat. Juga Kasuri II di Papua Barat, Manakarra Mamuju, di Selat Makassar; dan Oti di lepas pantai Kalimantan Timur. Area itu ditawarkan melalui skema lelang terbuka.

Untuk menggairahkan penawaran tahun depan, pemerintah menyiapkan revisi Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 79 Tahun 2010 tentang Biaya Operasi yang Dapat Dikembalikan. Regulasi ini masih dibahas di Kementerian Sekretaris Negara untuk diusulkan kepada Presiden. Dengan merevisi aturan itu, kontraktror lebih mendapat kepastian hukum dan fiskal.

Investment splashy Saudi Arabia

The visit of King of Saudi Arabia Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud to Indonesia welcomed the bells-and whistles. The king mentioned will invest US $ 25 billion, or around Rp 334 trillion. Funds will be disbursed to various fields, including oil and gas sector. Overwhelming response was reasonable. After 47 years, this is the first time Saudi King to visit our country. This trip could be opening a new round of cooperation 'between the two countries and strengthen diplomatic relations. But too optimistic disbursement of investment affairs of Saudi Arabia is not a wise attitude.

Experience shows investment realization Saudi Arabia does not always go smoothly. A number of the memorandum of understanding of investment projects, such as construction of the Balongan refinery in Indramayu, Java, West and Dumai refinery in Riau, in limbo. Saudi Arabian oil company, Aramco, not being disbursed. The project finally managed entirely by Pertamina without foreign investors.

The investment figure for Saudi Arabia is also small. During 2011-2016, Saudi Arabia investment of only US $ 34.3 million or 0.02 percent of total foreign investment in Indonesia. The investment value in Indonesia the country ranks only 57th. Throughout 2016 Saudi Arabia realized investment was only US $ 900 thousand for 44 projects. The figure is far below the investment realization of other Middle Eastern countries, such as Kuwait, which reached US $ 3.6 million.

The five largest investors are Singapore (US $ 2.9 billion), Japan (US $ 1.6 billion), Hong Kong (US $ 500 million), China (US $ 500 million) and the Netherlands (US $ 300 million ). Humanitarian aid during the government of Saudi Arabia is also not smooth. Crane unfortunate victims in the Haram in 2015 until now have not received compensation.

In that incident, 12 members of the Indonesian pilgrims died and 42 were injured. The Saudi government had promised compensation of 1 million riyals, or USD 3.8 billion for all the families of the victims died and 500 thousand riyals, or USD 1.9 billion for the wounded.

That is why, plans massive investment Saudi Arabia should be addressed critically. Moreover, the country is experiencing economic difficulties. The drop in world oil prices since 2014 hit the economy of Saudi Arabia. The oil country had a deficit of US $ 89 billion last year. Whereas 80 percent of their income comes from oil exports. Saudi Arabia's investment plans to a number of Asian countries, including Indonesia, should be seen as the country's efforts to get new revenue sources beyond oil.

The Indonesian government must still take advantage of the opportunity. If Saudi Arabia cooperates serious economic and disburse funds, the government needs to be prepared. But people have to realize also that the investment plan mentioned in official visit will not all be realized.

Heboh Investasi Arab Saudi

Lawatan Raja Arab Saudi Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud ke Indonesia disambut gegap-gempita. Sang raja disebut-sebut akan menanam investasi senilai US$ 25 miliar atau sekitar Rp 334 triliun. Dana itu akan dikucurkan ke berbagai bidang, termasuk sektor minyak dan gas. Sambutan yang luar biasa itu wajar. Setelah 47 tahun, Baru kali ini Raja Arab Saudi berkunjung ke negara kita. Lawatan ini bisa membukan babak baru kerja sama 'kedua negara dan mempererat hubungan diplomatik. Tapi terlalu optimistis ihwal kucuran investasi dari Arab Saudi bukanlah sikap yang bijak. 

Pengalaman menunjukkan realisasi investasi Arab Saudi tidak selalu berjalan lancar. Sejumlah nota kesepahaman proyek investasi, seperti pembangunan kilang Balongan di Indramayu, Jawa, Barat  dan kilang Dumai di Riau, terkatung-katung. Perusahaan minyak Arab Saudi, Aramco, tidak kunjung mengucurkan dana. Proyek tersebut akhirnya dikelola sepenuhnya oleh Pertamina tanpa investor asing.

Angka investasi Arab Saudi selama ini juga kecil. Selama 2011-2016, investasi Arab Saudi hanya US$ 34,3 juta atau 0,02 persen dari total investasi asing di Indonesia. Nilai investasi negara itu di Indonesia hanya berada di urutan ke-57. Sepanjang 2016 realisasi investasi Arab Saudi hanya US$ 900 ribu untuk 44 proyek. Angka itu jauh di bawah realisasi investasi negara Timur Tengah lainnya, seperti Kuwait, yang mencapai US$ 3,6 juta.

Adapun lima investor terbesar adalah Singapura (sebesar US$ 2,9 miliar), Jepang (US$ 1,6 miliar), Hong Kong (US$ 500 juta), Cina (US$ 500 juta), dan Belanda (US$ 300 juta). Bantuan kemanusiaan pemerintah Arab Saudi selama ini juga tidak berjalan mulus. Korban musibah crane di Masjidil Haram pada 2015 hingga kini belum mendapat santunan.

Dalam insiden itu, 12 anggota jemaah Indonesia meninggal dan 42 orang cedera. Pemerintah Arab Saudi sempat menjanjikan santunan sebesar 1 juta riyal atau Rp 3.8 miliar bagi semua keluarga korban meninggal serta 500 ribu riyal atau Rp 1,9 miliar untuk korban luka.

Itu sebabnya, rencana investasi besar-besaran Arab Saudi mesti ditanggapi secara kritis. Apalagi negara ini sedang mengalami kesulitan ekonomi. Anjloknya harga minyak dunia sejak 2014 memukul perekonomian Arab Saudi. Negeri minyak itu mengalami defisit US$ 89 miliar tahun lalu. Padahal 80 persen pendapatan mereka berasal dari ekspor minyak. Rencana investasi Arab Saudi ke sejumlah negara Asia, termasuk Indonesia, harus dilihat sebagai upaya negara itu mendapatkan sumber pendapatan baru di luar minyak.

Pemerintah Indonesia harus tetap memanfaatkan peluang itu. Kalau Arab Saudi serius menjalin kerja sama ekonomi dan mengucurkan banyak dana, pemerintah perlu menyiapkan diri. Tapi masyarakat harus menyadari pula bahwa rencana investasi yang disebutkan dalam lawatan resmi  belum tentu semuanya bisa direalisasi.

Pertamina Submits Proposal to NIOC

PT Pertamina has submitted a plan proposal floating two blocks to be acquired in Iran, namely the Ab-Teymour and Mansouri, to the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). However, there is no agreement between the two state-owned oil and gas company.

Senior Vice President Upstream Business Development Pertamina Denie Tampubolon said the development plan proposal is the result of the evaluation team of Pertamina according MoU (memorandum of understanding / MoU) were signed. Proposals submitted during a visit by the Indonesian government and the company to Iran start last weekend until Tuesday (28/2). "After that of a conversation between two parties (Pertamina and NIOC) for the next stage," he said.

As is known, Pertamina and NIOC has signed a memorandum of understanding in August last year. Based on this MoU, the company will have six months for the company to conduct a study and submit a preliminary proposal Ab-Teymour Field development and Mansouri in Iran. Now, the proposal submission is indeed the end of February. However, President Joko Widodo and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Ignatius Jonan asked the company to enter as soon as possible the proposal in view of the number of competitors, one of which Lukoil, the Russian oil and gas company.

Related completed when talks with NIOC, Denie admitted can not be sure. Because the completion of these negotiations is not fully authorized Pertamina. "Because it involves two parties, the target also depends on progress on the part of Iran," he said.

Pertamina Upstream Director Syamsu Alam had expressed, after proposals from the development plan, the next stage which NIOC will review the proposal. It could not be sure how this process takes place considering it is the authority of NIOC. Thus, it also can not target acquisition when oil and gas blocks in

Iran is completed. "That's his call there (NIOC), we can not push push as well," said Alam.

As is known, the total reserves of Ab-Teymour Fields and Mansouri estimated at 5 billion barrels. Currently both are already in the production phase with the respective sizes of 48 thousand barrels per day (bpd) for the Ab-Teymour Field and 54 thousand bpd for Mansorui Field.

Ready to Fund

Pertamina Finance Director Arif Budiman said the company has set aside for the upstream business expansion overseas. Because the upstream business expansion will ensure supply of crude oil to the refinery fuel oil (BBM) owned by the company. This year, the fund set up for the acquisition of oil and gas blocks to reach US $ 1 billion. "If Iran's not the acquisition, but the bid (auction). So it may still be (funding), "he said.

Besides in Iran, he added, Pertamina is also negotiating the acquisition of oil and gas block in Russia. However, acquisitions in Russia is not to take the asset, but only shares in oil and gas blocks. This is because the system prevailing in Russia only allow local companies with an asset.

Only in the company allowed no foreign ownership. "So it's still our weigh-stations. If we essentially only in security of supply, "he said. Although not get the assets, Russia still allow Pertamina to bring the oil obtained to Indonesia.

In its official statement, Rosneft said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Pertamina to work together on Fields The Northern Tip of Chayvo and Russkoye field. Field The Northern Tip of Chayvo, Pertamina could take a stake up to 20%, while in the Russkoye field to 37.5%.

Pertamina also has completed the French oil and gas company, which Maurel & Prom. According to Arif, the funds disbursed to take over ownership to 64.46% it is still within budget. "Under the US $ 1 billion (funds disbursed) to take over all the shares of the total," he said.

Pertamina is targeting oil and gas production increased to 1.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (barrel oil equivalent per day / boepd) in 2025 and 2.04 million boepd in 2030. Therefore, Pertamina should boost oil and gas production to be increased by 8% per year.

Pertamina Serahkan Proposal ke NIOC 

PT Pertamina telah menyerahkan proposal rencana pengambangan dua blok yang akan diakuisisi di Iran, yakni Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri, ke National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). Namun, belum ada kesepakatan antara kedua perusahaan migas milik pemerintah  ini. 

Senior Vice President Upstream Business Development Pertamina Denie Tampubolon mengatakan, proposal rencana pengembangan itu merupakan hasil evaluasi Tim Pertamina sesuai nota kesepahaman (memorandum of understanding/MoU) yang diteken. Proposal diserahkan dalam kunjungan Pemerintah Indonesia dan pihaknya ke Iran mulai akhir pekan lalu sampai Selasa (28/2). “Setelah itu tentu pembicaraan dua pihak (Pertamina dan NIOC) untuk tahap selanjutnya,” kata dia.

Seperti diketahui, Pertamina dan NIOC telah meneken nota kesepahaman pada Agustus tahun lalu. Berdasarkan nota kesepahaman ini, perseroan mempunyai waktu enam bulan bagi perseroan untuk melakukan studi dan menyampaikan preliminary proposal pengembangan Lapangan Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri di Iran. Sehingga, batas penyerahan proposal ini memang akhir Februari ini. Namun, Presiden Joko Widodo dan Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Ignasius Jonan meminta Pertamina sesegera mungkin memasukkan proposal tersebut mengingat banyaknya pesaing, salah satunya Lukoil, perusahaan migas asal Rusia.

Terkait kapan pembicaraan dengan NIOC selesai, Denie mengaku tidak dapat memastikannya. Pasalnya, penyelesaian negosiasi ini bukan sepenuhnya wewenang Pertamina. “Karena menyangkut dua pihak, target juga tergantung progres di pihak Iran,” ujar dia.  

Direktur Hulu Pertamina Syamsu Alam sempat mengutarakan, setelah memasukkan proposal rencana pengembangan, tahap berikutnya yakni NIOC akan mereview proposal tersebut. Pihaknya tidak dapat memastikan berapa proses ini berlangsung mengingat hal itu merupakan wewenang NIOC. Sehingga, pihaknya juga tidak dapat menargetkan kapan akuisisi blok migas di

Iran ini selesai. “Itu call-nya di sana (NIOC), kami tidak bisa mendorong dorong juga,” Kata Alam.

Seperti diketahui, total cadangan Lapangan Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri diperkirakan mencapai 5 miliar barel. Saat ini keduanya sudah pada tahap produksi dengan besaran masing-masing 48 ribu barel per hari (bph) untuk Lapangan Ab-Teymour dan 54 ribu bph untuk Lapangan Mansorui.

Siap Danai

Direktur Keuangan Pertamina Arif Budiman mengatakan, perseroan telah menyiapkan dana untuk ekspansi bisnis hulu di luar negeri. Pasalnya, ekspansi bisnis hulu bakal menjamin pasokan minyak mentah untuk kilang  bahan bakar minyak (BBM) milik perseroan. Pada tahun ini, dana yang disiapkan untuk akuisisi blok migas mencapai US$ 1 miliar. “Kalau di Iran kan bukan akuisisi, tetapi bid (lelang). Jadi kemungkinan masih bisa (pendanaan),” kata dia.

Selain di Iran, lanjutnya, Pertamina juga tengah negosiasi akuisisi blok migas di Rusia. Namun, akuisisi di Rusia ini bukanlah untuk mengambil aset, melainkan hanya saham di blok migas. Hal ini lantaran sistem yang berlaku di Rusia hanya membolehkan perusahaan setempat yang memiliki aset.

Hanya saja dalam perusahaan tersebut dibolehkan ada kepemilikan asing. “Jadi itu masih kami timbang-timbang. Kalau kami intinya hanya di security of supply,” ujarnya. Meski tidak mendapat aset, Rusia masih membolehkan Pertamina membawa minyak yang diperoleh ke Indonesia. 

Dalam keterangan resminya, Rosneft menyatakan telah meneken nota kesepahaman dengan Pertamina untuk kerja sama menggarap Lapangan The Northern Tip of Chayvo dan Lapangan Russkoye. Di Lapangan The Northern Tip of Chayvo, Pertamina bisa mengambil saham sampai 20%, sementara di Lapangan Russkoye sampai 37,5%.

Pertamina juga telah merampungkan perusahaan migas asal Perancis, yakni Maurel&Prom. Menurut Arif, dana yang dikucurkan untuk mengambil alih kepemilikan saham sampai 64,46% itu masih sesuai anggaran. “Di bawah USS 1 miliar (dana yang dikucurkan) untuk ambil alih total semua saham itu,” kata dia.

Pertamina menargetkan produksi migasnya meningkat menjadi 1,9 juta barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/boepd) pada 2025 dan 2,04 juta boepd pada 2030. Untuk itu, Pertamina harus menggenjot produksi migasnya agar naik 8% per tahun.

Pada pertemuan yang berlangsung dalam suasana penuh keakraban, kedua pemimpin juga membahas sejumlah proyek, yang ditawarkan Pemerintah Indonesia. Proyek-proyek yang ditawarkan Pemerintah Indonesia, antara lain, proyek refining development masterplan program di Dumai, Balongan, dan Bontang senilai total US$ 14 miliar. Selain itu, proyek pembangunan Pembangkit Iistrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) Mulut Tambang di Jambi, pembangunan infrastruktur, jalan raya, water resources, drinking water, sanitasi, dan perumahan. 

“Proyek-proyek tersebut disambut baik Raja Arab Saudi dan menyatakan segera mengirim tim untuk menindaklanjuti apa yang dibahas dengan Presiden Jokowi," kata Menlu. Di sisi lain, Presiden Jokowi akan mengirim para menteri terkait ke Arab Saudi untuk menindaklanjuti kerja sama kedua negara.

Menteri Koordinator bidang Perekonomian Darmin Nasution sebelumnya mengatakan, kedatangan Raja Salman pada 1-9 Maret sangat erat kaitannya dengan investasi. Dia memperkirakan ada tambahan investasi sekitar Rp 300 triliun, termasuk investasi kilang minyak Saudi Aramco di Cilacap senilai US$ 6 miliar.

11 Kesepakatan

Pada pertemuan itu, Presiden Jokowi dan Raja Salman juga menyaksikan penandatanganan 11 kesepakatan, di antaranya, kerja sama perdagangan, (kesehatan, kelautan dan perikanan, dan peningkatan level sidang Komisi Bersama.

Kerja sama Indonesia dengan Arab Saudi sejauh ini baru menyangkut proyek perbaikan dan peningkatan kapasitas (upgrading) Kilang Cilacap diwakili perusahaan migas nasional masing-masing negara, yakni PT Pertamina dan Saudi Aramco. Pada Desember lalu, kedua perusahaan telah sepakat membentuk perusahaan patungan untuk menggarap proyek senilai US$ 5 miliar itu. Proyek ini ditargetkan selesai pada 2021.

Masih termasuk dalam proyek Kilang Cilacap, Saudi Aramco juga memiliki hak untuk memasok minyak mentah untuk kilang ini. Dari kebutuhan total 400 ribu bare] per hari (bph), jatah Saudi Aramco disepakati 70%, sementara sisanya akan dicarikan Pertamina dari sumber lain. Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) I Gusti Nyoman Wiratmaja mengharapkan investasi dari Arab Saudi bisa masuk ke sektor energi Indonesia. Dari sektor hulu migas, Indonesia sangat terbuka jika Saudi Aramco selaku perusahaan migas milik pemerintah Arab Saudi, masuk mengelola blok di sini.

“Namun, kami lebih berharap Pertamina bisa diberikan lapangan di sana, akuisisi ladang minyak di sana. Kalau itu diberikan, cadangannya (blok migas yang bisa diakuisisi Pertamina di Arab Saudi), bisa menjadi cadangan nasional,” kata dia dalam pertemuan dengan media di Jakarta, Rabu (1/3).

Potensi kerja sama lain, adalah terkait pembentukan cadangan minyak strategis (strategic petroleum reserve/SPR) nasional. Indonesia ingin bekerja sama dengan Arab Saudi untuk mewujudkan cadangan ini, selain menjajaki juga dengan Iran dan Kuwait. Nantinya, Saudi Aramco dapat menaruh minyaknya di Indonesia untuk pasarnya di Asia Pasitik. “Kami sedang memproses Perpres (peraturan presiden) soal SPR ini. Harapannya sesegera mungkin terbit," ujar Wiralmaja.

Selain itu, Pertamina berharap dapat membeli langsung liquefed petroleum gas/LPG dari Saudi Aramco. Menurut Senior Vice President Integrated Supply Chain Daniel Purba, selama ini Indonesia sudah mengambil LPG dari Arab Saudi, namun tidak langsung membeli dari Saudi Aramco. Pembelian langsung selama ini hanya untuk minyak mentah dengan volume 110 ribu bph melalui kontrak jangka panjang.

Hal yang sama juga diungkapkan oleh Wiratmaja. Pihaknya mendorong jual beli LPG ini dapat dilakukan langsung oleh perusahaan migas milik pemerintah kedua negara. Direktur Megaproyek Pengolahan dan Petrokimia menambahkan, pihaknya masih membuka peluang Saudi Aramco untuk ikut investasi di proyek kilang lain di Indonesia. Tiga proyek kilang lainnya ini adalah pembangunan kilang baru di Bontang, Kalimantan Timur, serta upgrading Kilang Balongan dan Kilang Dumai. Total nilai proyek ini mencapai lebih dari US$ 14 miliar.

“Ini untuk Project Expose Kilang Bontang untuk mencari partner, jadi tentu kesempatan dibuka seluasnya. Saudi Aramco tentu kami berikan kesempatan,” ujar dia. Sasaran-sasaran dari Visi 2030 antara lain mengubah Saudi Public Investment Fund menjadi sovereign fund dengan nilai aset US$ 2,5 triliun atau yang terbesar di dunia. Lembaga investasi ini akan menguasai 10% lebih kapasitas investasi global. Saudi juga mencanangkan pendapatan non-minyak naik enam kali lipat dari sekitar US$ 43,5 miliar per tahun menjadi US$ 267 miliar dan meningkatkan ekspor non-minyak dari 16% PDB menjadi 50% PDB.

Negara eksportir minyak terbesar dunia itu memiliki total aset di mancanegara yang tercatat di bank sentralnya sekitar US$ 555 miliar. Sebagian besar investasi tersebut ditanamkan di Amerika Serikat

Pertamina Oil Production Abroad Continues in thrust

The government continues to encourage PT Pertamina to increase oil production abroad. The potential to increase oil production of 400,000 barrels per day following the management plan for the two blocks of oil and gas in Iran. "We continue to encourage an increase in its oil production. We hope that Iran immediately gives to Pertamina so that next year can operate," said Deputy Minister Arcandra Tahardi Hotel Dharmawangsa.

Previously, Pertamina had submitted a proposal two oil field development plans in Iran, namely the Ab-Teymour and Mansouri, the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), oil and gas companies belong to Iran. The oil fields are each expected potentially produce 200,000 bpd, with reserves in the two blocks is estimated at more than 1.5 billion barrels.

According to him, if Pertamina could soon enter a manager of two Iapangan the advantage not only be obtained by Pertamina as the corporation would, but can also be felt by the state for the amount of reserves in the oil field is quite large.

"The government supports Pertamina entered into the field. We have to say to the president and oil minister, as well as the vice president at all the meetings. We convey a desire to manage the field," he said.

Members of the Board of Commissioners of Pertamina is proceeding Pertamina management scheme will be to invite local partners with an agreement for a fair result. The government is targeting production at both fields can be increased significantly so that the contribution to meet domestic needs as well great.

"We hope to go to Pertamina as soon as possible so that it can increase its production. The possibility of production above 300,000 bpd," he said. Observers energy from Trisakti University Pri Agung Rakhmanto support Pertamina get the management of oil fields in Iran.

According to him, step acquiring a stake in oil fields abroad fairly precise, since most oil and gas companies hold back investment as oil prices declined. "I think the efforts taken by Pertamina is right. At the time when oil prices are low, not many companies are aggressively acquiring oil and gas blocks," he said.

However, it warned that measures must be accompanied by the application of the principles of accountability and transparency. Management of oil fields abroad should be accompanied by the calculation of the increase in oil and gas production to support national energy security.

Produksi Minyak Pertamina di Luar Negeri Terus di dorong

Pemerintah terus mendorong PT Pertamina untuk meningkatkan produksi minyaknya di luar negeri. Produksi minyak Pertamina berpotensi bertambah sebanyak 400.000 barel per hari menyusul rencana pengelolaan dua blok minyak dan gas bumi di Iran. "Kita terus mendorong peningkatan produksi Pertamina. Kita berharap Iran segera memberikan ke Pertamina sehingga tahun depan dapat beroperasi,” ujar Wakil Menteri Arcandra Tahardi Hotel Dharmawangsa.

Sebelumnya, Pertamina sudah menyerahkan proposal rencana pengembangan dua lapangan minyak di Iran, yaitu Ab-Teymour dan Mansouri, kepada National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), perusahaan minyak dan gas bumi milik Iran. Lapangan minyak itu masing-masing diperkirakan berpotensi menghasilkan 200.000 bph, dengan cadangan di kedua blok tersebut diperkirakan lebih dari 1,5 miliar barel.

Menurut dia, jika Pertamina bisa segera masuk menjadi pengelola dua Iapangan tersebut, keuntungan tidak hanya akan diperoleh Pertamina secara korporasi akan, tetapi juga bisa dirasakan negara karena jumlah cadangan di kedua lapangan minyak cukup besar.

"Pemerintah mendukung Pertamina masuk ke lapangan itu. Kita sampaikan ke presiden dan menteri perminyakan, serta wapres di semua pertemuan. Kita sampaikan keinginan untuk mengelola lapangan tersebut,” ujarnya.

Anggota Dewan Komisaris Pertamina ini melanjutkan, untuk skema pengelolaan nantinya Pertamina bisa dengan mengajak mitra lokal dengan perjanjian bagi hasil yang adil. Pemerintah menargetkan produksi di kedua lapangan dapat meningkat signifikan sehingga kontribusi terhadap pemenuhan kebutuhan dalam negeri juga besar.

"Kita berharap bisa masuk ke Pertamina secepatnya sehingga dapat meningkatkan produksinya. Kemungkinan produksinya diatas 300.000 bph," ucapnya. Pengamat energi dari Universitas Trisakti Pri Agung Rakhmanto mendukung Pertamina mendapatkan pengelolaan ladang minyak di Iran.

Menurutnya, langkah Pertamina mengakuisisi lapangan minyak diluar negeri terbilang tepat, karena pada umumnya perusahaan migas menahan investasi di saat harga minyak menurun. "Saya rasa upaya yang ditempuh Pertamina sudah tepat. Di saat harga minyak rendah, tidak banyak perusahaan yang agresif mengakuisisi blok-blok migas," kata dia. 

Namun, pihaknya mengingatkan langkah itu harus dibarengi penerapan prinsip akuntabilitas dan transparansi. Pengelolaan lapangan minyak diluar negeri harus disertai perhitungan peningkatan produksi migas untuk mendukung ketahanan energi nasional.
