Polemics in Muara Tawar

At the time the government upanya maximize electricity power in the country, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and PT PGN polemics about the cost of transporting gas to a power plant Muara Tawar Gas and Steam. Problems arose after the PLN rate this during this time should earn revenues from gas transportation service rental fee (toll fee) in segments along the 7 kilometer pipeline to the Muara Tawar.

Regional Business Director Central Java PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara Nasri Sebayang admitted there are problems associated with gas pipelines to the Muara Tawar gas supplied by PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. (PGN). According to him, the problem is associated with the gas transportation costs were actually worn by PGN to PLN. However, he declined to specify details of the problem.

There were problems [related to the gas pipeline], but being resolved, "said Nasri. The cost of the bill is estimated to reach Rp 8 trillion, the amount of PLN values ​​that make the management of emotions. Conversely, for PGN, the cost of gas supply through pipelines that drain directly supply gas to the Muara Tawar considered in accordance with the contract.

Commercial Director of PGN, Danny Praditya, said that until now the supply of gas to the Muara Tawar power plant in Bekasi, West Java is still flowing. Installation of the gas pipeline is an integrated pipeline network PGN despite the 7 km long road built by PLN.

He mentioned charging distribution of gas through the pipeline equated with other customers on the same network to restore the pipeline construction investment.

Both companies belong to the government last known signed a joint agreement of gas supply at the beginning of April 2016, after the old contract PGN gas flowing to the Muara Tawar power plant expired on March 31, 2016. Meanwhile, before the contract is signed around 2007, to Muara Tawar gas obtained and the Corridor Block-ConocoPhillips was never offered to PLN.

However, when it was PLN refused because not require a supply of the gas. PGN, said Danny take gas supplies while looking for a new consumer opportunities to absorb the gas. Then, PGN build the pipeline and get new customers, including PLN as a customer.

CONTRACT

PGN also signed a gas sales agreement (GSA) with PLN in force until now. According to Danny, the contract is a generic contract with the charging of gas distribution similar to that of other consumer industries.

"PLN contract with PGN had always PJBG its generic since 2006 or 2007. It was entered in the grid PGN and we do not discriminate transmission or distribution. All rates subject to the same consumer, "he said

Even PLN has secured special rates for the supply of gas to power plants. Supposedly this is no longer open for all the clauses have been approved in gas sales contract.

When PLN is not pleased with the imposition of the fee, according to Danny, it becomes an internal problem PLN. Because the contract has been signed about 10 years ago. PLN and PGN has always maintained an intense communication. However, it did not know if PLN objected to the charging distribution of gas to the plant.

"That contract if you want to be sued, indirectly blaming PLN management are on that decision," said Danny.

Meanwhile, Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources IGN Wiratmaja Puja says it has not received a report related to PLN objection against the charging gas supply from PGN. In his meeting with the board of directors PGN Friday (17/3) were also discussed about the issue.

The Director of Gas and Natural Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) Umi Asngadah said segment of pipe that transports gas to the Muara Tawar power plant is not a transmission pipeline because of that it does not set the cost of the gas distribution.

Executive Director of the Institute Komaidi Reforminer Notonegoro hope the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of SOEs soon resolve the polemic PLN and PGN. "" The government should find a win-win solution. Both are state-owned enterprises. This problem should be quickly addressed by the government in authority, such as BPH Migas, "he said.

Polemik di Muara Tawar

Di saat upanya pemerintah memaksimalkan ketenaga listrikan di Tanah Air, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN)dan PT PGN berpolemik soal biaya  transportasi gas ke Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Gas dan Uap Muara Tawar. Persoalan muncul setelah pihak PLN menilai selama ini seharusnya memperoleh pendapatan dari jasa biaya sewa transportasi gas (toll fee) di ruas jalur pipa sepanjang 7 kilometer ke PLTGU Muara Tawar.

Direktur Bisnis Regional Jawa Bagian Tengah PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara Nasri Sebayang mengaku ada masalah terkait dengan jaringan pipa gas ke PLTGU Muara Tawar yang gasnya dipasok oleh PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. (PGN). Menurutnya, masalah yang terjadi berkaitan dengan biaya transportasi gas yang justru dikenakan oleh PGN kepada PLN. Namun, dia enggan merinci detail persoalannya.

Ada masalah [terkait dengan pipa gas itu], tetapi sedang diselesaikan,” kata Nasri. Tagihan biaya tersebut diperkirakan mencapai Rp 8 triliun, besaran nilai yang membuat manajemen PLN emosi. Sebaliknya, bagi PGN, biaya penyaluran gas melalui pipa yang mengalirkan langsung pasokan gas ke PLTGU Muara Tawar dianggap sesuai dengan kontrak.

Direktur Niaga PGN, Danny Praditya, mengatakan hingga saat ini pasokan gas ke PLTG Muara Tawar di Bekasi, Jawa Barat masih mengalir. Instalasi pipa gas tersebut merupakan jaringan pipa terintegrasi milik PGN meskipun terdapat ruas sepanjang 7 km yang dibangun oleh PLN.

Dia menyebutkan pembebanan biaya penyaluran gas melalui pipa tersebut disamakan dengan konsumen lainnya di jaringan yang sama untuk mengembalikan investasi pembangunan pipa.

Kedua perusahaan milik pemerintah tersebut diketahui terakhir kali meneken kesepakatan bersama penyaluran gas pada awal April 2016, setelah kontrak lama pengaliran gas PGN ke pembangkit listrik Muara Tawar berakhir pada 31 Maret 2016. Adapun, sebelum kontrak diteken sekitar 2007, gas untuk PLTGU Muara Tawar yang didapat dan Blok Corridor-ConocoPhillips itu pernah ditawarkan kepada PLN. 

Namun, saat itu PLN menolak karena belum memerlukan pasokan gas tersebut. PGN, kata Danny mengambil pasokan gas sambil mencari peluang konsumen baru untuk menyerap gas tersebut. Lalu, PGN membangun pipa dan mendapatkan konsumen baru, termasuk PLN sebagai pelanggan.

KONTRAK

PGN pun meneken perjanjian jual beli gas (PJBG) dengan PLN yang berlaku hingga kini. Menurut Danny, kontrak tersebut merupakan kontrak generik dengan pembebanan biaya penyaluran gas yang sama dengan konsumen lainnya yakni industri.

“Kontrak PLN dengan PGN dari dulu memang PJBG-nya generik semenjak 2006 atau 2007 lalu. Itu masuk dalam grid PGN dan kami tidak membeda-bedakan transmisi atau distribusi. Semua konsumen dikenakan tarif yang sama," ujarnya

Bahkan PLN telah mendapatkan harga khusus untuk penyaluran gas ke pembangkit. Seharusnya hal ini tidak perlu diperdebatkan lagi karena semua klausul telah setujui dalam kontrak penjualan gas.

Bila PLN tidak berkenan dengan pembebanan biaya tersebut, menurut Danny, hal itu menjadi masalah di internal PLN. Pasalnya, kontrak telah diteken sekitar 10 tahun lalu. PLN dan PGN selalu menjalin komunikasi secara intens. Namun, pihaknya belum mengetahui bila PLN keberatan dengan pembebanan biaya penyaluran gas ke pembangkit.

“Itu kontraknya kalau mau digugat, secara tidak langsung menyalahkan manajemen PLN yang memberikan keputusan itu,” kata Danny.

Sementara itu, Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral IGN Wiratmaja Puja mengatakan pihaknya belum mendapat laporan terkait sikap keberatan PLN terhadap pembebanan biaya penyaluran gas dari PGN. Pada pertemuannya dengan jajaran direksi PGN Jumat(17/3) tidak turut dibahas soal masalah tersebut.

Adapun Direktur Gas Badan Pengatur Hilir Migas (BPH Migas) Umi Asngadah mengatakan ruas pipa yang mengalirkan gas ke PLTG Muara Tawar bukanlah pipa transmisi karena itu pihaknya tidak menetapkan biaya penyaluran gasnya.

Direktur Eksekutif Reforminer Institute Komaidi Notonegoro berharap Kementerian ESDM dan Kementerian BUMN segera menyelesaikan polemik PLN dan PGN tersebut. “ “Pemerintah harus mencari win-win solution. Keduanya sama-sama BUMN. Masalah ini hendaknya bisa cepat diatasi oleh pemerintah yang memiliki otoritas, seperti BPH Migas,” katanya.

Sinopec's acquisition of Chevron Oil Refinery in South Africa

China intensified to secure its oil needs. The latest, China Petroleum and Chemical Corp. (Sinopec) will acquire Chevron's refinery in the Southern African region. If the deal comes to pass, then this will be the first refinery Sinopec on the African continent.

Valuation acquisition in Africa's largest oil refinery is US $ 1 billion. At present, Sinopec announced in the last deals with Chevron. Source Reuters explains, the auction which has been opened for one year was won Sinopec that beat other bidders such as Total, the French oil company from Glencore and Gunvor.

Even so, the acquisition process is still confronted with obstacles. For South African government wants to maintain refinery operations. While Sinopce reportedly prefer to convert the oil into storage terminals because it is considered more profitable. Sinopce still discussing with the South African Government to maintain oil refinery production remains smooth.

Oil production should be kept 110,000 barrels per day refinery in Cape Town. In addition to control assets ambitious oil refinery, formerly Sinopec also are changing China's petrochemical products to a high quality. Sinopec Chairman Wang Yupu said it will invest US $ 29.05 billion for the upgrade of four distillation throughout the years 2016 to 2020.

With a refining capacity to renew the production would increase to 130 million tons per year or the equivalent of 2.6 million barrels per day. Also, reduce logistics costs and optimize the product structure. 

    Braden Reddal Chevron spokesman said the sale of the business in South Africa including the Chevron oil refinery in Cape Town is still in process.

Sinopec Akuisisi Kilang Minyak Chevron di Afrika Selatan

China makin gencar mengamankan kebutuhan minyaknya. Terbaru, China Petroleum dan Chemical Corp (Sinopec) akan mengakuisisi kilang minyak milik Chevron di wilayah Afrika Selatan. Jika kesepakatan tersebut

terwujud, maka ini akan menjadi kilang pertama Sinopec di benua Afrika. 

Valuasi akuisisi kilang minyak terbesar di Afrika tersebut mencapai US$ 1 miliar. Saat ini, Sinopec dikabarkan dalam penawaran terakhir dengan Chevron. Sumber Reuters menjelaskan, lelang yang telah dibuka selama satu tahun tersebut berhasil dimenangkan Sinopec yang mengalahkan penawar lain seperti Total, perusahaan asal minyak Prancis, Glencore dan Gunvor.

Meski begitu, proses akuisisi masih menemui hambatan. Sebab Pemerintah Afrika selatan ingin menjaga operasi kilang. Sementara Sinopce dikabarkan lebih memilih mengonversi minyak ke terminal penyimpanan karena dinilai lebih menguntungkan. Sinopce masih berdiskusi dengan Pemerintah Afrika Selatan untuk menjaga produksi kilang minyak tetap lancar. 

Produksi minyak harus dijaga 110.000 barel per kilang per hari di Cape Town. Selain berambisi menguasai aset kilang minyak, sebelumnya Sinopec juga sedang mengubah produk petrokimia China ke kualitas tinggi. Chairman Sinopec Wang Yupu mengatakan akan berinvestasi US$ 29,05 miliar untuk upgrade empat penyulingan sepanjang tahun 2016 sampai 2020.

Dengan memperbaharui kapasitas penyulingan tersebut maka produksi akan bertambah menjadi 130 juta ton per tahun atau setara 2,6 juta barel per hari. Juga, mengurangi biaya logistik dan mengoptimalkan struktur produk. 

    Juru bicara Chevron Braden Reddal mengatakan, penjualan bisnis Chevron di Afrika Selatan termasuk kilang minyak di Cape Town masih dalam proses. "Masih didiskusikan permintaan kepentingan kepemilikan saham sebesar 75%," kata Reddal seperti dikutip Reuters.

Two Winning Bidder Block Not Wanted Use Gross Split

Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) establishes a winner again to auction 14 oil and gas blocks in the period April 2016 to April 2017. As a result there are currently two winners of the auction. "There are two winners, one for regular and one block direct deals. 

     Actually there is one between yes or no, he offered a little different," said Director of Upstream Oil and Gas Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Single, Friday last week (17/3). Unfortunately, Tunggal not want to mention the name of the block and the name of the company that wins. "I want to report first minister," he reasoned.

Since April 2016, the government is to auction 14 oil and gas blocks. The details: seven regular conventional oil and gas blocks, namely Block South CPR Suremana I, Oti, Manakarra Mamuju, SE Mandar, North Argunim and Kasumi II.

      As for conventional oil and gas blocks with direct offers, namely Block Batu Gajah, Kasongan Sampit, Powerful, West Hill, Ebuny, Onin, and West Kaimana. However, related block direct deals there are three candidates, namely Block Ebuny, Onin and West Kaimana. As for the regular unknown.

The problem, of two winners of the oil and gas blocks has been no winner decided to use a gross scheme split. So, the government has directed that the conventional oil and gas blocks auction winner could use scheme split gross production sharing contracts, although the auction is done before sunrise rules.

Dua Pemenang Lelang Blok Tidak lngin Pakai Gross Split

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menetapkan satu pemenang lagi untuk lelang 14 blok migas pada periode April 2016-April 2017. Alhasil saat ini ada dua pemenang lelang. "Ada dua pemenang, satu untuk blok regular dan satu penawaran langsung. 

     Sebenarnya ada satu lagi antara ya atau tidak, dia menawar beda tipis," kata Direktur Pembinaan Hulu Migas Kementerian ESDM Tunggal, Jumat akhir pekan lalu (17/3). Sayangnya, Tunggal belum mau menyebut nama blok dan nama perusahaan yang menang. "Saya mau lapor menteri dulu," katanya beralasan.

Sejak April 2016 lalu, pemerintah memang membuka lelang 14 blok migas. Perinciannya: tujuh blok migas konvensional reguler, yaitu Blok South CPR Suremana I, Oti, Manakarra Mamuju, SE Mandar, North Argunim dan Kasumi II. 

     Adapun blok migas konvensional dengan penawaran langsung, yakni Blok Batu Gajah, Kasongan Sampit, Ampuh, Bukit Barat, Ebuny, Onin, dan West Kaimana. Namun terkait blok penawaran langsung ada tiga kandidat, yakni Blok Ebuny, Onin dan West Kaimana. Sementara untuk reguler belum diketahui.

Masalahnya, dari dua pemenang blok migas tersebut belum ada pemenang yang memutuskan untuk menggunakan skema gross split. Jadi, pemerintah masih mengarahkan agar pemenang lelang blok migas konvensional tersebut bisa menggunakan skema kontrak bagi hasil gross split, meskipun pelelangan dilakukan sebelum aturan terbit.

Dumai Refinery Maintenance Schedule Delayed

Maintenance schedule or turn around crude oil refineries in Dumai, Riau delayed from its original April 2017 to around June 2017, or after the moment of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.

Processing Director PT Pertamina Toharso say, all refineries have a maintenance schedule respectively. However, the Dumai refinery, estimated to be undergoing treatment in approximately June 2017. The reason, the maintenance schedule is adjacent to the moment of Ramadan and Eid Fitr.

Meanwhile, when the maintenance period, the refinery with a capacity of 175,000 barrels per day (bpd) was not in operation for a while. The duration of treatment time depends on the type of treatment plant and refinery capacity.

Currently, also takes care of the largest units in Balikpapan refinery with a capacity of 200,000 bpd. Treatments performed since 8 March to mid April 2017.

With these activities, it delayed maintenance activities one unit Balikpapan refinery with a capacity of 60,000 bpd. Supposedly, the unit has been receiving treatment since 2016. However, the company postponed it be April 2017 and back in retreat until 2018.

"This March is again TA (turn around) Balikpapan II, scheduled TA. It was a great [capacity], 200,000 bpd. That [capacity] of 60,000 bpd, will follow, "he said.

REFINERY TPPI

PT Trans Pacific Petroleum Refinery Indotama (TPPI) in Tuban, East Java, had planned to do the treatment in September 2017. However, it was still in talks due to maintenance costs despite treatment at the refinery was not done since 2006 or 11 years ago.

In the project, Pertamina has a stake of 48%. As a result, the company must bear the cost of the treatment plant.

"TA took charge, so TPPI submitted to us. Later, the scheme is in Mr. Arief as Chief Financial Officer. He applied in September," said Toharso. In general, the maintenance schedule refineries should be followed because of the pressure to produce will result in disruptions and refinery not can operate (unplanned shut down), noted that, throughout 2016 occurred unplanned shut down for 35 times including blackout or fault in the turbine system in Balikpapan refinery in December 2016.

The high unplanned shut down, due to frequent maintenance schedule backwards and risk factor management of the old refinery. It causes inefficient processing sector for several times to stop the operation.

      Meanwhile, refinery maintenance schedule should be adjusted to the availability of supply. Fuel imports in 2017 is targeted at 8 million barrels per month. However, the initial projection of 8 million barrels rise to 11 million barrels per month for their care Balongan refinery.

"Pursue the production front, but in fact it is a problem in the back," he said. The company owns and operates six refineries with a total capacity unit reached 1.0467 million million bpd. Some refineries such as refinery-III Plaju UP and UP-IV Cilacap refinery integrated with petrochemicals refineries, and produce petrochemical products

Jadwal Perawatan Kilang Dumai Diundur

Jadwal perawatan atau turn around kilang pengolahan minyak mentah di Dumai, Riau di tunda dari semula April 2017 menjadi sekitar Juni 2017 atau setelah momen Ramadan dan Idul fitri.

Direktur Pengolahan PT Pertamina Toharso mengatakan, semua kilang memiliki jadwal perawatan masing-masing. Namun, Kilang Dumai, diperkirakan baru akan menjalani perawatan pada sekitar Juni 2017. Alasannya, jadwal perawatan berdekatan dengan momen Ramadan dan Idul fitri.

Adapun, ketika masa perawatan, kilang yang berkapasitas 175.000 barel per hari (bph) itu tidak beroperasi untuk sementara. Durasi waktu perawatan kilang tergantung pada jenis perawatan dan kapasitas kilang.

Saat ini, juga berlangsung perawatan unit terbesar di Kilang Balikpapan berkapasitas 200.000 bph. Perawatan dilakukan sejak 8 Maret sampai pertengahan April 2017.

Dengan kegiatan tersebut, pihaknya menunda kegiatan perawatan salah satu unit Kilang Balikpapan yang berkapasitas 60.000 bph. Seharusnya, unit tersebut sudah mendapat perawatan sejak 2016. Namun, perseroan menundanya menjadi April 2017 dan kembali di undur hingga 2018.

“Maret ini yang lagi TA (turn around) Balikpapan II, scheduled TA. Itu yang besar [kapasitasnya], 200.000 bph. Yang [kapasitasnya] 60.000 bph, nanti menyusul,” katanya. 

KILANG TPPI

Kilang PT Trans Pacific Petroleum Indotama (TPPI) di Tuban, Jawa Timur pun rencananya dilakukan perawatan pada September 2017. Namun, hal itu masih dalam pembicaraan karena untuk perawatan membutuhkan biaya meskipun perawatan di kilang itu tidak dilakukan sejak 2006 atau 11 tahun lalu.

Dalam proyek tersebut, Pertamina memiliki saham sebesar 48 %. Alhasil, perseroan harus turut menanggung biaya perawatan kilang. 

"TA butuh biaya, makanya TPPI di serahkan ke kami. Nanti skemanya ada pada Tuan Arief  sebagai Direktur Keuangan. Dia mengajukan pada bulan September,” kata Toharso. Secara umum, jadwal perawatan kilang harus diikuti karena tekanan untuk memproduksi akan mengakibatkan gangguan dan kilang tidak bisa beroperasi (unplanned shut down). Tercatat, sepanjang 2016 terjadi unplanned shut down sebanyak 35 kali termasuk blackout atau kesalahan sistem pada turbin di Kilang Balikpapan pada Desember 2016. 

Tingginya unplanned shut down, dikarenakan jadwal perawatan yang sering mundur dan faktor risiko pengelolaan kilang tua. Hal itu menyebabkan sektor pengolahan tidak efisien karena beberapa kali harus berhenti operasi.

 Adapun, jadwal perawatan kilang harus disesuaikan dengan ketersediaan pasokan. Impor BBM pada 2017 ditargetkan sebesar 8 juta barel per bulan. Namun, proyeksi semula 8 juta barel naik menjadi 11 juta barel per bulan selama adanya perawatan Kilang Balongan.

“Kejar produksi di depan, tapi sebetulnya itu masalah di belakang,” katanya. Pertamina memiliki dan mengoperasikan enam unit kilang dengan kapasitas total mencapai 1.046.700 juta bph. Beberapa kilang minyak seperti kilang UP-III Plaju dan Kilang UP-IV Cilacap terintegrasi dengan kilang petrokimia, dan memproduksi produk-produk petrokimia
