Consortium of PGN -Pertamina Evaluation of Central Indonesia Gas Project



The consortium of PT PGN (Persero) Tbk and PT Pertamina (Persero) will evaluate the change of capacity of gas procurement projects and facilities in Central Indonesia offered by PT PLN (Persero). The consortium will negotiate opportunities for these facilities also used by industries in the region.

PGN Jobi President Director Triananda Hasyim said that his party is still waiting for the official announcement from PLN related to the change of capacity of gas facilities auctioned. Thus, it has not made any decision regarding this project.

"We see first the decline (capacity) how big. We evaluate first, "he said in Jakarta.

He explained that the consortium PGN and Pertamina are interested in working on this PLN project considering the company's commitment to channel gas to Papua and Maluku. So that the company sees the PLN gas project is not only to meet the gas generating electricity, but also the community and surrounding industries. The reason, many companies are asking for gas supplies in the region.

"Many companies want to make a ceramic factory in Makassar and Papua, they ask where the gas. If gas is in Bekasi or Probolinggo, they say it's better to build a factory there. It is expected that there is gas, can be built in Central and Eastern Indonesia, "said Jobi.

Therefore, following the reduction of gas needs of power plants, it will discuss with PLN related opportunities for the use of this facility for other buyers. Hi this considering the method of gas transportation for the industry also will not be much different from for power plant.

"We participate in the auction for the needs of PLN, but later we will try if the winner has been appointed, we ask permission to enlarge the capacity, so it can be for other buyers," said Jobi. The additional capacity will be funded by the consortium. This consideration also makes the PLN gas project more economical.

About the gas supply, Jobi revealed many sources, such as from Bontang and Tangguh Refineries. This is because so far liquefied natural gas (LNG) is widely exported because there are no consumers who absorb in the country. Moreover, every year there is a completed LNG export contract.

Konsorsium PGN -Pertamina Evaluasi Proyek Gas Indonesia Tengah


Konsorsium PT PGN (Persero) Tbk dan PT Pertamina (Persero) akan mengevaluasi perubahan kapasitas proyek pengadaan dan fasilitas gas di Indonesia Tengah yang ditawarkan oleh PT PLN (Persero). Konsorsium akan menegosiasikan peluang fasilitas ini juga dipakai oleh industri di wilayah tersebut.

Direktur Utama PGN Jobi Triananda Hasyim mengatakan, pihaknya masih menunggu pengumuman resmi dari PLN terkait adanya perubahan kapasitas fasilitas gas yang dilelang tersebut. Sehingga, pihaknya belum membuat keputusan apapun terkait proyek ini.

“Kami lihat dulu penurunan (kapasitas) seberapa besar. Kami evaluasi dulu,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Dia menjelaskan, konsorsium PGN dan Pertamina tertarik menggarap proyek PLN ini mengingat komitmen perusahaan untuk menyalurkan gas sampai ke Papua dan Maluku. Sehingga perusahaan melihat proyek gas PLN ini tidak hanya untuk memenuhi gas pembangkit listrik, namun juga masyarakat dan industri sekitarnya. Pasalnya, banyak perusahaan yang menanyakan pasokan gas di wilayah tersebut.

“Banyak perusahaan mau membuat pabrik keramik di Makassar dan Papua, mereka menanyakan gasnya dimana. Kalau gas di Bekasi atau Probolinggo, mereka bilang lebih baik membangun pabrik di sana. Diharapkan kalau ada gasnya, bisa terbangun di Indonesia Tengah dan Timur,” ujar Jobi.

Karena itulah, menyusul adanya pengurangan kebutuhan gas pembangkit listrik, pihaknya akan membicarakan dengan PLN terkait peluang penggunaan fasilitas ini untuk pembeli lain. Hai ini mengingat metode transportasi gas untuk industri tersebut juga tidak akan jauh berbeda dengan untuk pembangkit listrik.

“Kami ikut lelang untuk kebutuhan PLN, tetapi nanti kami upayakan kalau sudah ditunjuk pemenang, kami minta izin memperbesar kapasitas, sehingga bisa untuk pembeli yang lain,” kata Jobi. Tambahan kapasitas tersebut akan didanai oleh konsorsium. Pertimbangan ini juga membuat proyek gas PLN tersebut lebih ekonomis.

Soal pasokan gas, Jobi mengungkapkan banyak sumbernya, seperti dari Kilang Bontang dan Tangguh. Hal ini mengingat selama ini gas alam cair (liquefied natural gas/LNG) banyak diekspor dikarenakan tidak ada konsumen yang menyerap di dalam negeri. Apalagi, setiap tahunnya ada kontrak ekspor LNG yang selesai.

The Profit Sharing Scheme is questioned again



A number of members of Commission VII (Energy) of the House of Representatives (DPR) again questioned the oil and gas sharing scheme based on gross production or gross split. Therefore, this scheme is considered not able to improve the investment climate. In the first quarter of 2018, production target of ready to sell or lifting of oil and gas has not been able to reach the target. On the other hand, according to the government, the gross split scheme actually makes the auction of oil and gas blocks desirable.

In a hearing session of Commission VII of the House of Representatives (DPR) with the Special Working Unit for Oil and Gas Upstream Business Activity (SKK Migas) and head of upstream oil and gas company on Thursday (31/5/2018), in Jakarta; the question of gross split reappeared. A day earlier, in a working meeting with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the effectiveness of this scheme was also asked by a number of members of Commission VII DPR. The question is based on the achievement of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources in the first quarter of 2018.

Based on SKK Migas data, oil lifting until April 30, 2018 as much as 741,900 barrels per day. The achievement is still below the target of the 2018 APBN as much as 800,000 barrels per day. The lifting of natural gas up to April 30, 2018 amounted to 6.450 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) or still below the target of the 2018 APBN of 6,720 MMSCFD. Member of Commission VII of the House of Representatives Kardaya Warnika, suggested the government to review gross split schemes if necessary.

"Do not let this scheme, big oil and gas companies do not want to invest in Indonesia again. This will be dangerous for exploration impact. Only large companies want to explore, "he said.

Vice Chairman of Commission VII Herman Khaeron said the first gross split scheme implemented in the Offshore Block North West Java is recommended to be evaluated if it gives unfavorable results. On the sidelines of the meeting, a number of members of Commission VII questioned the reason China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) did not follow the auction of South East Sumatra block.

China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)

CNOOC is still the operator of the block until September 2018. The government has decided to continue the management of the South East Sumatra block handed over to Pertamina Hulu Energi.

"We are not interested in the gross split scheme (so do not participate in the auction). If with cost recovery, we are still willing, "said President Director of CNOOC Cui Hanyun, answering questions from members of Commission VII.

Head of SKK Migas Amien Sunaryadi said, not all parties have the same opinion about the gross split. However, it is open to all input.

Skema Bagi Hasil Dipersoalkan Lagi 


Sejumlah anggota Komisi VII (Energy) Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR) kembali mempersoalkan skema bagi hasil minyak dan gas bumi berdasarkan produksi bruto atau gross split. Sebab, skema ini dianggap belum mampu memperbaiki iklim investasi. Pada triwulan I-2018, target produksi siap jual atau lifting minyak dan gas bumi belum mampu mencapai target. Di sisi lain, menurut pemerintah, skema gross split justru membuat lelang blok migas diminati.

Dalam rapat dengar pendapat Komisi VII DPR dengan pihak Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatun Usaha hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) dan pimpinan perusahaan hulu migas, Kamis (31/5/2018), di Jakarta; pertanyaan mengenai gross split kembali muncul. Sehari sebelumnya, dalam rapat kerja dengan Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM), efektivitas skema ini juga ditanyakan sejumlah anggota Komisi VII DPR. Pertanyaan itu berdasarkan pencapaian kinerja Kementerian ESDM pada triwulan I-2018.

Berdasarkan data SKK Migas, lifting minyak hingga 30 April 2018 sebanyak 741.900 barrel per hari. Pencapaian itu masih di bawah target APBN 2018 yang sebanyak 800.000 barrel per hari. Adapun lifting gas bumi sampai dengan 30 April 2018 sebanyak 6.450 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD) atau masih di bawah target APBN 2018 yang sebanyak 6.720 MMSCFD. Anggota Komisi VII DPR Kardaya Warnika, menyarankan pemerintah mengkaji kembali skema gross split jika diperlukan. 

”Jangan sampai gara-gara skema ini, perusahaan besar migas tidak mau berinvestasi di Indonesia lagi. Ini akan berbahaya dampaknya bagi eksplorasi. Hanya perusahaan besar yang mau melakukan eksplorasi,” katanya.

Wakil Ketua Komisi VII Herman Khaeron mengatakan, skema gross split yang pertama kali diterapkan di Blok Offshore North West Java disarankan untuk dievaluasi jika memberikan hasil kurang baik. Di sela-sela rapat, sejumlah anggota Komisi VII mempertanyakan alasan China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) tidak mengikuti lelang blok South East Sumatera.

CNOOC masih menjadi operator blok tersebut hingga September 2018. Pemerintah sudah memutuskan kelanjutan pengelolaan blok South East Sumatera diserahkan kepada Pertamina Hulu Energi.

”Kami tidak tertarik dengan skema gross split (sehingga tidak ikut lelang). Kalau dengan cost recovery, kami masih bersedia,” ujar Presiden Direktur CNOOC
Cui Hanyun, menjawab pertanyaan anggota Komisi VII.

Kepala SKK Migas Amien Sunaryadi mengatakan, tidak semua pihak mempunyai pendapat yang sama soal gross split. Namun, pihaknya terbuka terhadap segala masukan.

BDH Field Production 100 MMSCFD



East Java (East Java) which had shortage of gas, now it is excessive. The good news for industries in East Java that require natural gas is no longer difficult to meet the needs of gas production. Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML) still has about 30 Milion Metric Standard Cubic Feet per Day (MMscfd) or millions of cubic feet per day which has not been utilized from its production.

The Head of Relations HCML Hamim Tohari, BD Field in Sampang Regency, Madura was initially targeted to produce 100 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) and 7,000 barrels of condensate per day. But now gas production is channeled to PGN and some industries only 70 percent of it can be absorbed. While 30 MMscfd there is no industry ready to use it.

"Actually there is Petrokimia Gresik who will use it for their production needs in Urea II factory they just built. But there are still obstacles so that HCML gas can not be utilized optimally, "said Hamim.

Hamim said one other cause of HCML gas can not be produced optimally is because currently in East Java there is over supply gas or excess supply of natural gas. This trend, said Hamim, is expected to give confidence to industries that want to use natural gas as a more environmentally friendly energy.

"Now we open our hands wide for the industry that wants to buy our gas. There are still 30 MMscfd ready to be distributed, "said Hamim Tohari.

Lapangan BDH Produksi 100 MMSCFD


Jawa Timur (Jatim) yang sempat kekurangan gas, kini justru berlebih. Kabar gembira untuk industri di Jawa Timur yang membutuhkan gas bumi tidak lagi kesulitan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan produksi gas. Adalah Husky CNOOC Madura Limited (HCML) masih memiliki gas sekitar 30 Milion Metric Standart Cubic Feet per Day (MMscfd) atau juta kaki kubik per hari yang belum termanfaatkan dari produksinya.

Jumlah yang sangat besar kalau tidak dimanfaatkan, Menurut Head of Relations HCML Hamim Tohari, lapangan BD di Kabupaten Sampang, Madura semula ditargetkan bisa memproduksi gas 100 juta standar kaki kubik per hari (MMSCFD) dan 7.000 barel kondensat per hari. Namun saat ini produksi gas yang disalurkan ke PGN dan beberapa industri hanya 70 persennya saja yang bisa terserap. Sedangkan 30 MMscfd belum ada industri yang siap menggunakannya. 

“Sebenarnya ada Petrokimia Gresik yang akan menggunakannya untuk kebutuhan produksi mereka di pabrik Urea II yang baru mereka bangun. Tetapi masih ada kendala sehingga gas HCML belum bisa dimanfaatkan secara maksimal,” kata Hamim.

Dikatakan Hamim salah satu penyebab lain gas HCML tidak bisa diproduksi secara maksimal adalah karena saat ini di Jatim terjadi over supply gas atau kelebihan pasokan gas bumi. Kecenderungan ini, kata Hamim, diharapkan mampu memberi keyakinan bagi industri yang ingin menggunakan gas bumi sebagai energi yang lebih ramah lingkungan.

“Sekarang kami membuka tangan selebar-lebarnya untuk industri yang mau membeli gas kami. Masih ada 30 MMscfd yang siap disalurkan,” kata Hamim Tohari.

Pertamina EP Continues to Find Large Oil and Gas Reserves



PT Pertamina EP continues to explore in several oil and gas fields to obtain large reserves. This is to answer the criticism of President Joko Widodo about the rarity of Pertamina to conduct explorations during the Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) some time ago.

Director of Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf said, in the last 50 years indeed the discovery of large oil and gas reserves is relatively small. There is only Minas Field, Duri-Riau Field, Jatibarang Field-West Java, Banyu Urip Field-East Java and Handil Square

"We did find the reserves such as Tapen, Jati Asri, Tambun, but the size is not as big as Banyu Urip, there is no exploration activity, but there is nothing as a whip just so we can find big ones," he said.

Pertamina EP has achieved production up to 132,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2009. At that Sukowati Field was able to produce up to 40,000 bpd and now its production is only 8,000 bpd.

"If Sukowati Field is still 40.000 bph we are still victorious, so indeed for high production there should be significant findings," he said.

For example, at that time Field Minas and Duri were able to produce up to 700,000 bpd, Widuri reached 200,000 bpd, and now ExxonMobil's Banyu Urip is capable of 200,000 bpd.

"We have to find oil class Banyu Urip," he said.

Despite its focus on oil, Pertamina EP is now also looking for gas reserves, as 60% of its current revenues are from gas.

Pertamina EP Terus Mencari Cadangan Migas Besar


PT Pertamina EP terus melakukan eksplorasi di beberapa lapangan migas untuk mendapatkan cadangan yang besar. Hal ini untuk menjawab kritik dari Presiden Joko Widodo tentang jarangnya Pertamina melakukan eksplorasi saat acara Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) beberapa waktu lalu.

Direktur Utama Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf mengatakan, dalam waktu 50 tahun terakhir memang penemuan cadangan migas besar relatif sedikit. Hanya ada Lapangan Minas, Lapangan Duri-Riau, Lapangan Jatibarang-Jawa Barat, Lapangan Banyu Urip-Jawa Timur dan Lapangan Handil 

"Kami memang menemukan cadangan misalnya Tapen, Jati Asri, Tambun tetapi size-nya tidak sebesar Banyu Urip, terlihat tidak ada kegiatan eksplorasi, padahal ada. Tidak apa-apa itu sebagai cambuk saja supaya kita menemukan yang besar," kata dia.

Pertamina EP pernah mencapai produksi hingga 132.000 barel per hari (bph) pada tahun 2009. Saat itu Lapangan Sukowati mampu produksi hingga 40.000 bph dan sekarang produksinya hanya 8.000 bph. 

"Kalau Lapangan Sukowati masih 40.000 bph kami masih berjaya. Jadi memang untuk produksi tinggi harus ada temuan yang signifikan," ujar dia.

Misalnya, saat itu Lapangan Minas dan Duri mampu produksi hingga 700.000 bph, Widuri mencapai 200.000 bph, dan sekarang Banyu Urip milik ExxonMobil mampu 200.000 bph. 

"Kami harus temukan minyak sekelas Banyu Urip," ujar dia. 

Meski fokus ke minyak, Pertamina EP sekarang juga sedang mencari cadangan gas, karena 60% pendapatan kini dari gas.

Pertamina to Build LPG Terminal in Tuban-East Java



Due to the land area of ​​60 hectares to be used for Pertamina's LPG terminal, and to the east of PT Trans Pasific Oil Refinery Petrochemical Indotama (TPPI). District Government (Pemkab) and the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) Tuban, optimistic project of LPG terminal (Liquefied Petroleum Gas / LPG) refrigated operate smoothly and not as complicated as Tuban NGRR Refinery.

"We are optimistic and support the LPG terminal project," said Chairman of Tuban DPRD, HM Miyadi, S.Ag when confirmed in Teuku Umar Tuban Road building.

He explained if the project is still the process of obtaining permits at the center. He also hopes that by 2019, construction projects can begin, and then proceed with the Pertamina-Rosneft Russia Pertamina-Pertamina Plantation Tuban NGRR project.



Confirmed separately, Vice Regent of Tuban, Ir. H Noor Nahar Hussein, M.Si confirmed if the LPG terminal project will be built on the East TPPI. For details, Vice Regent has not received official data from Pertamina.

"The project will use Pertamina's 60 Hectare field," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of Environment Department of Tuban, Sunarko, added that the LPG terminal project has been heard by the District Government since 6 months ago and was built in the District of Jenu. Nevertheless, until now there has been no development info.

"There are still plans and no formal documents have been submitted," confirmed separately.

So is the Head of Jenu, Sugeng Winarno, assess the construction of LPG terminal in its territory because of the need. It is expected that after the Fuel Terminal (BBM) and LPG will make the society more prosperous.

"We expect the welfare of the surrounding environment to increase," hoped the former Head of Tuban Merakurak East Java.

To note, Pertamina finally decided to build a LPG terminal in Tuban East Java. This decision was taken because no eligible bidders were eligible. Pertamina Corporate Marketing Directorate Muchamad Iskandar said the company has actually opened a tender for the construction of refrigated LPG terminal in East Java. Initially, the construction of this LPG terminal uses the asset transfer scheme (Build Operate Transfer / BOT).

Under the scheme, there are parties who provide land for building by other parties within the agreed time frame. After the contract expires, the land and buildings following the facility are handed back. Currently, the project has entered the tender stage of construction and engineering (Engineering, Procurement and Construction / EPC).

Pertamina akan Bangun Terminal LPG di Tuban


Karena lahan seluas 60 hektare yang akan digunakan untuk terminal LPG milik Pertamina, dan berada di sebelah Timur Kilang Minyak PT Trans Pasific
Petrochemical Indotama (TPPI). Pemerintah Kabupaten (Pemkab) dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (DPRD) Tuban, optimis proyek terminal elpiji (Liquefied Petroleum Gas/LPG) refrigated beroperasi mulus dan tidak serumit Kilang NGRR Tuban.

“Kami optimis dan mendukung proyek terminal LPG,” ujar Ketua DPRD Tuban, HM Miyadi,S.Ag saat dikonfirmasi di gedung dewan Jalan Teuku Umar Tuban.

Dia menjelaskan jika proyek tersebut masih proses pengurusan izin di pusat. Ia juga berharap pada tahun 2019, proyek kontruksi sudah bisa dimulai, kemudian dilanjutkan proyek Kilang NGRR Tuban patungan Pertamina-Rosneft Rusia.

Dikonfirmasi terpisah, Wakil Bupati Tuban, Ir. H Noor Nahar Hussein,M.Si membenarkan jika proyek terminal LPG akan dibangun di sebelah Timur TPPI. Untuk keterangan lengkapnya, Wakil Bupati belum mendapat data resmi dari Pertamina.

“Proyek itu akan menggunakan lahan 60 Hektare milik Pertamina,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Kepala bidang Tata Lingkungan Dinas Lingkungan Hidup (LH) Tuban, Sunarko, menambahkan, proyek terminal LPG sudah didengar Pemerintah Kabupaten sejak 6 bulan yang lalu dan dibangun di Kecamatan Jenu. Kendati demikian, sampai sekarang belum ada info perkembangannya.

“Masih rencana saja dan belum ada dokumen formal yang disampaikan,” dikonfirmasi terpisah.

Begitu juga Camat Jenu, Sugeng Winarno, menilai pembangunan terminal LPG di wilayahnya karena kebutuhan. Diharapkan setelah adanya Terminal Bahan Bakar Minyak (BBM) dan LPG nantinya, menjadikan masyarakat lebih sejahtera.

“Kita harapkan kesejahteraan lingkungan sekitar meningkat,” harap mantan Camat Merakurak Tuban Jawa Timur.

Untuk diketahui, Pertamina akhirnya memutuskan untuk membangun terminal elpiji di Tuban Jawa Timur. Keputusan ini diambil karena tidak ada satu pun peserta lelang yang memenuhi syarat. Direktorat Pemasaran Korporat Pertamina Muchamad Iskandar mengatakan, sebenarnya perusahaan sudah membuka tender untuk pembangunan terminal LPG refrigated di Jawa Timur. Awalnya, memang pembangunan terminal LPG ini menggunakan skema penyerahan aset (Build Operate Transfer/BOT).

Dengan skema itu, ada pihak yang menyediakan lahan untuk didirikan bangunan oleh pihak lain dalam jangka waktu yang disepakati. Setelah kontrak berakhir, maka lahan dan bangunan berikut fasilitas diserahkan kembali. Saat ini, proyek itu sudah masuk tahap tender pengerjaan konstruksi dan perekayasaan (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction/EPC).

PLN Immediately Determine The Fate of Central Indonesia Gas Project



PT PLN (Persero) declared the decision on infrastructure projects as well as gas procurement for power plants in Central Indonesia will be set in June-July this year. Due to changes in gas volume for this project should still be discussed with PTPertarnina (Persero) as a potential winner.

PLN's Strategic Procurement Director Supangkat Iwan Santoso said the change in the volume of gas demand in Central Indonesia was due to the company's decision to use hydropower as a peak load support in Sulawesi. In fact, gas demand in Sulawesi is initially very large and is an anchor of this project.

"With Makassar peaker replaced hydro, so much less needs. With these different volumes, they (prospective winners) are still willing to accept or not. We are still talking about the target, if it can be in June-July there is an answer, "he said in Jakarta.

In the initial announcement of the auction, PLN seeks 200 million cubic feet per day / mmscfd of gas supply for several clusters, namely East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara. In this project, potential investors should be able to guarantee gas supply while providing infrastructure and transportation.

This scheme was taken because to supply Central Indonesia with small and dispersed generators, the required gas supply must be entirely in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG). Later, investors must build LNG Hub to accommodate LNG on a medium scale, providing ships that will distribute it to PLN plants, including building regasification facilities near power stations. This method makes LNG project becomes more economical because its volume is not too small.

According to Iwan, the talks with Pertamina related to the capacity that was once offered quite large, has now changed significantly. Discussions need to be made to ensure that the project is still feasible to work on Pertamina's standards. Although admittedly, it is rather difficult. Therefore, it took him at least three months from now to discuss this with Pertamina.

"So this (changes in gas volume) changes the design capacity. The change is significant, half is not there, "said Iwan.

Nevertheless, the company opens opportunities for Pertamina to withdraw from this project. If this happens, then it was forced to re-auction the infrastructure and gas procurement project in IndonesiaTengah itu.

"Yes (re-auctioned), with new conditions," he said.

Based on the record, the auction of supply procurement and gas infrastructure for Central Indonesia has been started by PLN since 2016. PLN targeted the auction to finish last year, so gas supply can be realized starting 2019. In this auction, Pertamina managed to get rid of 10 other participants who passed the prequalification. Including Pertamina, there are 11 consortiums of companies passing prequalification.

In detail, Osaka Gas Co Ltd, PT Medco Energi International Tbk, Natural Gas Fenosa SDG SA, Marubeni Corporation, and Socar consortium, Petroleum SA, PT Humpuss Transportasi Kimia, PT PP (Persero) Tbk and PT Toba Sejahtera.

The other participants who passed the consortium were PT Bukaka Teknik Utama Tbk, Tokyo Gas Co Ltd, and Mitsui Co Ltd, a consortium of PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (Persero) and International Power Ltd, the consortium of Itochu Corporation and PT Energasindo Heksa Karya, a consortium of Shell Gas & Power Development BV and PT Energi Dian Kemala, as well as a consortium of Mitsubishi Corporation, Brunei National Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd and Diamond Gas International Pte Ltd.

Auction

In addition to Central Indonesia, Iwan said, the company is also working on similar gas projects for power plants in Bangka, Belitung and Pontianak, as well as power plants in Papua.

"It still goes according to plan. If that (Indonesia) east also started in five locations, "he said.

For gas project in Papua, he said, will utilize gas owned by local government. Therefore, the project is only auctioning its gas infrastructure project.

"Maybe only the EPC was auctioned because our operator," said Iwan.

As for the project in Bangka-belitung-Pontianak, Iwan did not elaborate. He just said, it has selected the auction participants of this project.

"Participants enter offers shortly," he added.

Previously, Senior Manager of Oil and Gas Procurement Division at PLN Solikin explained that the company plans to build LNG logistics system in three clusters in Eastern Indonesia, North Maluku, North Papua and Maluku-Papua Selatan. The number of plants that will be served this LNG facility will reach 30 units spread across the three clusters earlier.

PLN Segera Tentukan Nasib Proyek Gas Indonesia Tengah  


PT PLN (Persero) menyatakan keputusan soal proyek infrastruktur sekaligus pengadaan gas untuk pembangkit listrik di Indonesia Tengah akan ditetapkan pada Juni-Juli tahun ini. Karena perubahan volume gas untuk proyek ini masih harus dibicarakan dengan PTPertarnina (Persero) sebagai
calon pemenang.

Direktur Pengadaan Strategis PLN Supangkat Iwan Santoso mengatakan, perubahan volume kebutuhan gas di Indonesia Tengah karena perseroan memutuskan memakai pembangkit listrik tenaga air sebagai pendukung beban puncak di Sulawesi. Padahal, kebutuhan gas di Sulawesi ini awalnya sangat besar dan merupakan anchor dari proyek ini.

“Dengan Makassar peaker diganti hydro, jadi jauh berkurang kebutuhannya. Dengan Volume berbeda ini, mereka (calon pemenang) masih mau menerima atau tidak. lni masih kami bicarakan, target kalau bisa di bulan Juni-Juli ada jawaban,” kata dia di Jakarta.

Dalam pengumuman awal lelang, PLN mencari pasokan gas sebesar 200 juta kaki kubik per hari/mmscfd untuk beberapa kluster, yakni Kalimantan
Timur dan Kalimantan Selatan, Sulawesi, dan Nusa Tenggara. Dalam proyek ini, calon investor harus bisa menjamin pasokan gas sekaligus menyediakan infrastruktur dan transportasinya.

Skema ini diambil lantaran untuk memasok Indonesia Tengah yang pembangkitnya kecil-kecil dan tersebar, pasokan gas yang dibutuhkan seluruhnya harus dalam bentuk gas alam cair (liquefied natural gas/LNG). Nantinya, investor harus membangun LNG Hub untuk menampung LNG dalam skala menengah, menyediakan kapal yang akan mendistribusikannya ke pembangkit-pembangkit PLN, termasuk membangun fasilitas regasitikasi di dekat pembangkit. Metode ini membuat proyek LNG menjadi lebih ekonomis karena volumenya tidak terlalu kecil.

Menurut Iwan, pembicaraan dengan Pertamina ini terkait kapasitas yang dulunya ditawarkan cukup besar, kini berubah signifikan. Pembahasan perlu dilakukan untuk memastikan bahwa proyek ini masih layak dikerjakan sesuai standar Pertamina. Walaupun diakuinya, hal ini agak sulit. Karena itulah, pihaknya butuh waktu setidaknya tiga bulan dari sekarang untuk membahas ini dengan Pertamina.

“Jadi ini (perubahan volume gas) mengubah kapasitas desain. Perubahannya signifikan, separuhnya tidak ada,” tutur Iwan.

Meski demikian, perseroan membuka peluang bagi Pertamina untuk mundur dari proyek ini. Jika hal ini terjadi, maka pihaknya terpaksa harus melelang ulang proyek infrastuktur sekaligus pengadaan gas di IndonesiaTengah itu. 

“lya (dilelang ulang) , dengan kondisi yang baru,” ujarnya.

Berdasarkan catatan, lelang pengadaan pasokan dan infrastruktur gas untuk Indonesia Tengah ini sudah dimulai PLN sejak 2016 lalu. PLN sempat menargetkan lelang selesai tahun lalu, sehingga pasokan gas dapat direalisasikan mulai 2019. Dalam lelang ini, Pertamina berhasil menyingkirkan 10 peserta lain yang lolos prakualifikasi. Termasuk Pertamina, terdapat 11 konsorsium perusahaan yang lolos prakualifikasi.

Rincinya, Osaka Gas Co Ltd, PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk, Gas Natural Fenosa SDG SA, Marubeni Corporation, dan konsorsium Socar ,Petroleum SA, PT Humpuss Transportasi Kimia, PT PP (Persero) Tbk, dan PT Toba Sejahtera.

Selanjutnya peserta lain yang lolos yakni konsorsium PT Bukaka Teknik Utama Tbk, Tokyo Gas Co Ltd, dan Mitsui Co Ltd, konsorsium PT Perusahaan
Gas Negara (Persero) dan International Power Ltd, konsorsium Itochu Corporation dan PT Energasindo Heksa Karya, konsorsium Shell Gas & Power Development BV dan PT Energi Dian Kemala, serta konsorsium Mitsubishi Corporation, Brunei National Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd, dan Diamond Gas
International Pte Ltd.
