"The new contract process for this termination work area must be fast," he said on Monday (7/5).
Currently, Joint Operation Body (JOB) of PT Pertamina (Persero) and Golden Spike Energy Indonesia become operators Pendopo and Raja. Pertamina controls 50% stake and Golden Spike 50% in Pendopo Block.

Director of Upstream Oil and Gas Business Development of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ediar Usman, said this week a new manager will be appointed and draft the terms and conditions for the new contracts of the four working areas that will be terminated in 2019.
"All of that priority to operators exist first," he said.
Ediar said the terms and management of the four termination blocks will be included in the decree (SK) minister of ESDM.
"After the determination of T & C and the manager is completed, it will be given to SKK Migas. After that, SKK Migas will call the operators to exist to ask for readiness, if able to continue, "he said.
ESDM Minister Ignatius Jonan confirmed that the government will prioritize contractors to continue to operate the oil and gas block that has been exhausted by the contract. However, he did not explain in detail about the termination of oil and gas blocks.
AUCTION WINNERS
In addition to the termination block, the government is also auctioning off new oil and gas working areas. Auction results of oil and gas blocks in 2018 with direct bidding scheme have been announced. However, out of a total of five working areas auctioned, only four were determined by the winners. Of the total five working areas, only the East Papua Block has no winners and the submission of the auction documents.
In fact, the direct auction scheme is brave it is certain there is one investor or prospective contractor cooperation contract (KKKS) who have conducted a joint study. Ediar Usman explains that East Papua does not propose auction proposal.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a financial problem."
Ediar said, it also understands the problem of prospective KKKS in East Papua. The problem is caused by financial problems that could affect the commitment of its operations in one of the block auctioned.

Namun, dari total lima wilayah kerja yang dilelang, hanya empat yang ditentukan pemenang. Dari total lima wilayah kerja itu, hanya Blok East Papua yang tidak ada pemenang dan pengajuan dokumen lelang.
