SKK Migas: Oil Lifting This Year Exceeds Target

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) revealed that oil lifting this year could reach 746.3 thousand barrels per day / BOPD. While oil production is estimated at 745.5 thousand BOPD. The prognosis until the end of the year exceeds the lifting target set in the 2019 State Budget (APBN) of 745 thousand BOPD.

SKK Migas Secretary Murdo Gantoro said the realization of oil lifting would be officially announced on 31 December. Four days towards the end of 2019, SKK Migas carried out the optimization of lifting later this year in six main points namely Sumatra in Dumai Terminal, Java in MGS Balongan, FPSO Gagak Rimang, Siam Maspion and Kalimantan Terminals in Tanjung Santan, and Senipah Terminal.

FPSO Gagak Rimang

"We will continue to monitor until December 31 like what the numbers are. If this is not achieved, we will find out the obstacles and then evaluate them, "Murdo said during a visit to the PT Pertamina EP Asset 3 Main Gathering Station in Indramayu.

Murdo said SKK Migas is now directly overseeing the lifting. So far the activity has been carried out by surveyors as third parties. 11 contracted cooperation contracts (KKKS) can be monitored directly (real-time). This is a form of SKK Migas transformation. Because SKK Migas has a vision of creating one million barrels in 2030.

"Of course there is a milestone every year with a work plan. We measure the achievements and evaluate them, "he said.

In the same place, Finance & Business Support Director of PT Pertamina EP Adi Prasetyana revealed, Pertamina EP oil lifting reached 27,197,737 barrels of oil (BBL) and 249,533 MMSCF for gas until November. Projected to the end of the year, Pertamina EP oil lifting can reach 29,939,653 BBL and 272,954 MMSCF gas.

"Lifting at Balongan Terminal reached the agreed target of 4,654,987 BBL for oil until December 25, 2019," he said.

Adi said Pertamina EP Asset 3 recorded a proud performance in 2019. Towards the end of this year, Pertamina EP Asset 3 was able to produce 13,092 BOPD or equivalent to 100.6% of the WP&B target. The gas production reached 262 MMSCFD or 92% of the WP&B target.

"By maintaining the reliability of production facilities, PEP is expected to be able to maintain and increase production according to the target set by the government," he said.

Meanwhile, Member of Commission VII of the People's Representative Council (DPR) Kardaya Warnika revealed Pertamina EP Asset 3 was the backbone of Pertamina. Because the production continues to survive even exceeding the target set. He appreciated the efforts that had been made by Pertamina.

"The third asset region is the most sustainable. This is Pertamina's backbone, "he said.

the Rokan Block Chevron Pacific Indonesia

Rokan Block

Meanwhile, on the previous occasion, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Arifin Tasrif, encouraged the transition process of the management of the Rokan Block from Chevron Pacific Indonesia to PT Pertamina (Persero) to be completed soon next year. 

     That way, it will speed up the implementation process of oil and gas drilling in a block located in Riau Province. Arifin explained, the progress of the transfer of management between the two parties continued.

"We have asked Pertamina to be proactive then Chevron can open the door, already. Chevron reports every week. then we will meet with Pertamina, "explained Arifin, as quoted by www.esdm.go.id.

Accelerating the transfer of management, continued Arifin, was carried out in order to maintain the level of production of the Rokan Block when the maturity of managing over in 2021. Arifin immediately asked Pertamina to prepare funds for drilling investment.

"Pertamina has prepared, because of this Pertamina must immediately carry out 20 drilling points to be able to maintain, out of 72 targets. Yes, at least 20 can be done, "said Arifin.

Nevertheless, Arifin admitted there were still a number of administrative and other important issues between the two parties that were Business to Business (B to B).

"Indeed there are several matters related to regulations and also administrative contracts that must be completed. But next year it must be finished, "said Arifin.

Beginning in 2019, Rokan Block production will reach 207,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 26% of national production. The 6,220-kilometer block has 96 fields, of which three have the potential to produce very good oil, namely Duri, Minas, and Bekasap. It has been noted, since it began operating in 1971 until 31 December 2017, the total production in the Rokan Block has reached 11.5 billion barrels of oil since the start of the operation.

As is known, the Government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources decided to entrust the management of the Rokan Block to Pertamina on July 31, 2018. This decision was taken on the basis of business and economic considerations after evaluating the submission of Pertamina's proposal which was considered better in managing the block.

The Rokan Block itself is the second-largest oil block in Indonesia. The 6,220-kilometer block has 96 fields with three fields having very good oil potential namely Duri, Minas, and Bekasap. For next year, SKK Migas is targeting production in the Rokan Block to reach 161 thousand BOPD, down from this year's target of 190 thousand BOPD. This is because Chevron no longer invests in any activity in the Rokan Block in 2020.

SKK Migas: Lifting Minyak Tahun Ini Lampaui Target

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mengungkapkan, lifting minyak tahun ini bisa mencapai 746,3 ribu barel per hari/BOPD. Sementara produksi minyak diperkirakan mencapai 745,5 ribu BOPD. Prognosa hingga akhir tahun itu melampaui target lifting yang ditetapkan dalam Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) 2019 sebesar 745 ribu BOPD.

Sekretaris SKK Migas Murdo Gantoro mengatakan realisasi lifting minyak akan disampaikan secara resmi pada 31 Desember. Empat hari menjelang akhir tahun 2019, SKK Migas melakukan optimalisasi lifting akhir tahun ini di enam titik utama yakni Sumatera di Terminal Dumai, Jawa di MGS Balongan, FPSO Gagak Rimang, Terminal Siam Maspion dan Kalimantan di Tanjung Santan, dan Terminal Senipah.

“Kami akan monitor terus sampai 31 Desember seperti apa angkanya. Apabila tidak tercapai maka kita cari tahu kendalanya kemudian dievaluasi,” kata Murdo dalam kunjungan ke Main Gathering Station PT Pertamina EP Asset 3 di Indramayu.

Murdo mengungkapkan SKK Migas kini secara langsung mengawasi lifting. Selama ini kegiatan tersebut dilakukan oleh surveyor sebagai pihak ketiga. Tercatat 11 kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) dapat dipantau secara langsung (real time). Hal ini merupakan bentuk transformasi SKK Migas. Pasalnya SKK Migas memiliki visi menciptakan satu juta barel di 2030. 

“Tentunya ada milestone tiap tahun dengan rencana kerja. Kita ukur capaiannya dan dievaluasi,” ujarnya.

Di tempat yang sama, Finance & Business Support Director PT Pertamina EP Adi Prasetyana mengungkapkan, lifting minyak Pertamina EP mencapai 27.197.737 barel oil (BBL) dan 249.533 MMSCF untuk gas hingga November kemarin. Diproyeksikan sampai akhir tahun, lifting minyak Pertamina EP dapat mencapai 29.939.653 BBL dan gas 272.954 MMSCF.

“Lifting di Terminal Balongan mencapai target yang disepakati yaitu 4.654.987 BBL untuk minyak hingga 25 Desember 2019,” ujarnya.

Adi menuturkan, Pertamina EP Asset 3 mencatatkan kinerja yang membanggakan di tahun 2019. Menjelang berakhirnya tahun ini, Pertamina EP Asset 3 mampu memproduksi 13,092 BOPD atau setara dengan 100,6% target WP&B. Adapun produksi gas mencapai 262 MMSCFD atau 92% target WP&B. 

“Dengan menjaga kehandalan fasilitas produksi, diharapkan PEP mampu menjaga dan meningkatkan produksi sesuai target yang ditetapkan oleh pemerintah,” ujarnya.

Sementara itu, Anggota Komisi VII Dewan Per wakilan Rakyat (DPR) Kardaya Warnika mengungkapkan Pertamina EP Asset 3 merupakan tulang punggung Pertamina. Pasalnya produksinya terus bertahan bahkan melampaui target yang ditetapkan. Dia mengapresiasi usaha yang telah dilakukan oleh Pertamina. 

“Wilayah asset 3 satu-satunya yang paling sustain. Ini merupakan backbone Pertamina,” ujarnya. 

Blok Rokan

Sementara itu, pada kesempatan sebelumnya, Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM), Arifin Tasrif mendorong proses transisi alih kelola Blok Rokan dari Chevron Pasific Indonesia ke PT Pertamina (Persero) bisa segera diselesaikan tahun depan. Dengan begitu, akan mempercepat pelaksanaan proses

pengeboran minyak dan gas bumi di blok yang terletak di Provinsi Riau tersebut. Arifin menjelaskan, progress alih kelola anatara kedua belah pihak terus berjalan. 

“Kita sudah minta Pertamina proaktif kemudian Chevron bisa membuka pintu, sudah. Tiap minggu Chevron sudah lapor. kemudian kita pertemukan dengan Pertamina,” jelas Arifin, seperti dikutip www.esdm.go.id.

Percepatan alih kelola, sambung Arifin, dilakukan guna mempertahankan tingkat produksi Blok Rokan saat jatuh tempo alih kelola di tahun 2021 nanti. Arifin pun segera meminta kepada Pertamina untuk menyiapkan dana untuk investasi pengeboran.

“Pertamina sudah menyiapkan, karena ini Pertamina harus segera melaksanakan 20 poin pengeboran untuk bisa mempetahankan, dari 72 target. Ya paling tidak 20 itu bisa dilakukan,” ujar Arifin. 

Kendati demikian, Arifin mengakui masih terdapat beberapa persoalan administrasi dan persoalan penting lainnya antar kedua belah pihak yang bersifat Business to Business (B to B). 

“Memang ada beberapa hal yang terkait regulasi dan juga kontrak administratif yang harus diselesaikan. Tapi tahun depan harus selesai,” tegas Arifin.

Awal tahun 2019, produksi Blok Rokan mencapai 207.000 barel per hari atau setara dengan 26% produksi nasional. Blok yang memiliki luas 6.220 kilometer ini memiliki 96 lapangan, dimana tiga lapangan berpotensi menghasilkan minyak sangat baik yaitu Duri, Minas dan Bekasap. Tercatat, sejak beroperasi 1971 hingga 31 Desember 2017, total produksi di Blok Rokan mencapai 11,5 miliar barel minyak sejak awal operasi. 

Sebagaimana diketahui, Pemerintah melalui Kementerian ESDM memutuskan untuk memercayakan pengelolaan Blok Rokan kepada Pertamina pada 31 Juli 2018. Keputusan ini diambil atas dasar pertimbangan bisnis dan ekonomi setelah mengevaluasi pengajuan proposal Pertamina yang dinilai lebih baik dalam mengelola blok tersebut.

Blok Rokan sendiri merupakan blok minyak terbesar kedua di Indonesia. Blok seluas 6.220 kilometer ini memiliki 96 lapangan dengan tiga lapangan memiliki potensi minyak yang sangat baik yaitu Duri, Minas dan Bekasap. Untuk tahun depan, SKK Migas menargetkan produksi di Blok Rokan bisa mencapai 161 ribu BOPD atau turun dibanding target tahun ini yang sebesar 190 ribu BOPD. Ini lantaran Chevron tidak lagi berinvestasi untuk aktivitas apapun di Blok Rokan pada tahun 2020.

Pertamina Prepares 23 Drilling

PT Pertamina (Persero) is planning exploration drilling. as many as 23 wells in all working areas including those outside the country at 2020 to increase oil and gas reserves. 

Fajriyah Usman

    Pertamina Corporate Communication Vice President Fajriyah Usman said exploration drilling was also carried out by PT Pertamina International EP (PIEP) in one well. On the other hand, Fajriyah explained that development drilling is planned for 388 wells.

"We plan to explore 23 drilling wells, including one overseas well. The total development wells are 388 wells, including 54 overseas wells, "he said.

In addition, 2D seismic activity is planned along 1,559 kilometers and the 3D seismic area is 1,020 km2. According to him, 2020 upstream oil and gas activities are carried out in order to support the oil and gas production target of 923,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) or increase 1,000 boepd compared to this year's target.

"To work again [work-over] 823 wells, 716 in the country, and 107 wells abroad," he added.

Previously, Pertamina Upstream Director Dharmawan H. Samsu said the 2020 oil and gas production target was so challenging. According to him, technical issues related to rig procurement and logistics are expected not to become obstacles to future production.

the Sanga-Sanga Block

"2020 is hard because we have to make sure drilling is not allowed to be late. In 2019 yesterday we were late because there were no rigs, especially the offshore rig [PHE], and the land rig was late in the Sanga-Sanga Block because of mobility, "he said.

As an evaluation material for the 2020 production target, Dharmawan also explained the production constraints this year. In addition to the Rig issue, Pertamina 2019 oil and gas production constraints also come from Pertamina International EP. Dharmawan explained that in one of the PIEP assets in Algeria there were compressor constraints that caused disrupted production.

"It's just that friends have developed a redundant system so that in the future can anticipate if such problems occur again," he added.

Currently, the largest oil production comes from the Cepu block of 216,000 barrels per day (BPD) and outperformed the production performance of the Rokan Block, Riau, which was set at 190,000 BPD in 2019. The oil production results from the Cepu Block were obtained from EMCL's performance at the Banyu Urip Field, with an Amdal based production capacity of 220,000 BPD.

the Cepu Block

Besides Banyu Urip, actually last week ExxonMobil had operated oil production from the Kedung Keris Field with a capacity of 10,000 BPD. However, because the Amdal revision to produce oil up to 230,000 BPD has not yet come out, the performance of Banyu Urip and Kedung Keris needs to be adjusted.

"We will balance [the production] between the two oil and gas fields," said ExxonMobil Indonesia President Louise McKenzie.

With the operation of the Kedung Keris field, it has further strengthened the overall production of the Cepu Block, which currently supports more than 25% of Indonesia's oil production. 

    ExxonMobil Indonesia's brilliant performance in Cepu also increased after as of 30 November, the cumulative production from Banyu Urip reached 357 million barrels of oil. With the achievements of ExxonMobil Indonesia, it has fulfilled the commitments of produced reserves from the initial development plan (POD), in less than half the period of the Cooperation Contract.

Based on company information, ExxonMobil Indonesia had previously found around 450 million barrels of oil reserves in the Banyu Urip Field, Cepu Block, precisely in 2001. EMCL signed a Cost Recovery (PSC) production sharing contract on 17 September 2005 and lasted until 2035. In addition to fulfilling its production commitments reserves, EMCL also succeeded in revising the amount of Banyu Urip's 450 million barrels of oil at the time of full funding, and again increased to 823 million barrels of oil.

In the initial POD, the commitment of produced reserves from Banyu Urip was recorded at 357 million BPD and was fulfilled. Seeing the achievements of Louise also claimed to continue to hope to be able to meet more than double the volume commitment of the initial development plan. Referring to SKK Migas data, the production of Cepu Block oil lifting is targeted at 216,000 BPD in 2019.

Until September 2019, the realization of Cepu Block oil lifting was recorded to have exceeded the target of 216,011 BPD. Deputy of Operations of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Julis Wiratno explained that so far the production from Banyu Urip is still purely contained in oil and no water has been produced which is part of very good reservoir management. "

Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA)

Actually, with the increase in oil reserves and the Banyu Urip Field, production volumes can be increased. However, the completion of the Amdal permit revision has not yet been completed. Regarding the EIA process, Louise said there were several stages that must be passed, without mentioning what the phases were.

"We are making progress, and hopefully [the Amdal permit] will come out in a month or two," he said.

On the other hand, Head of the East Java Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Office Setiadjit said investors were asked to be active in addressing permit and Amdal difficulties so that his party could facilitate. Regarding the revision of the Amdal of the Banyu Urip Field, Setiadjit acknowledged that the Bojonegoro Regency Government had not submitted a proposed change.

"Now the Bojonegoro Regency Government needs to be encouraged. If necessary, I visit the Bojonegoro Regent about this [Amdal revision], "he said.

It is very ironic if the efforts of the Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) together with SKK Migas to increase production are hampered by licensing matters. Implicitly, SKK Migas also wants the Amdal revision to be completed soon. Moreover, according to the Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said that in accordance with the High Rate Test (HRT) of the Banyu Urip Field, it is capable of producing oil of 235,000 BPD safely.

Dwi also hopes that all licensing processes can be completed quickly. Because with the Amdal revision being hampered, increased production from the Cepu Block has also been hampered. Like an increase in oil such as the volume of water in a bucket but can not be taken more, because the 'dipper' or EIA permit is not revised.

Cepu Perlu ‘Gayung’ Lebih Besar

Di saat penurunan alamiah produksi minyak bumi nasional, anomali terjadi di Blok Cepu. lzin Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal) di wilayah kerja yang dikelola oleh ExxonMobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) dan Pertamina EP Cepu itu bahkan perlu direvisi demi mengoptimalkan potensi tambaban produksi.

Saat ini, produksi minyak terbesar berasal dari blok Cepu sebesar 216.000 barel per hari (bph) dan mengungguli kinerja produksi Blok Rokan, Riau, yang ditetapkan sebesar 190.000 bph pada 2019. Hasil produksi minyak dari Blok Cepu didapatkan dari kinerja EMCL di Lapangan Banyu Urip, dengan kapasitas produksi berdasarkan Amdal sebesar 220.000 bph. 

Selain Banyu Urip, sebenarnya pekan lalu ExxonMobil telah mengoperasikan produksi minyak dari Lapangan Kedung Keris dengan kapasitas 10.000 bph. Hanya saja, karena revisi Amdal untuk dapat memproduksi minyak hingga 230.000 bph belum keluar, kinerja dari Banyu Urip dan Kedung Keris perlu disesuaikan.

“Kami akan menyeimbangkan [produksi] antara dua lapangan migas tersebut,” tutur President ExxonMobil Indonesia Louise McKenzie.

Dengan beroperasinya Iapangan Kedung Keris, semakin mengukuhkan keseluruhan produksi Blok Cepu, yang saat ini menopang lebih dari 25% produksi minyak Indonesia. Kinerja cemerlang ExxonMobil Indonesia di Cepu pun bertambah setelah per 30 November lalu, produksi kumulatif dari Banyu Urip mencapai 357 juta barel minyak. Dengan capaian   ExxonMobil Indonesia telah memenuhi komitmen cadangan terproduksikan dari rencana pengembangan (POD) awal, dalam waktu kurang dari setengah periode Kontrak Kerja Sama.

Berdasarkan informasi perusahaan, ExxonMobil Indonesia sebelumnya telah menemukan cadangan minyak sekitar 450 juta barel di Lapangan Banyu Urip, Blok Cepu, tepatnya pada 2001. EMCL menandatangani kontrak bagi hasil (PSC) Cost Recovery pada 17 September 2005 dan berlangsung hingga 2035. Selain memenuhi komitmen memproduksi cadangan, EMCL juga berhasil merevisi jumlah cadangan Banyu Urip 450 juta barel minyak pada saat pendanaan penuh (full funding), dan kembali meningkat menjadi 823 juta barel minyak.

Dalam POD awal, komitmen cadangan terproduksikan dari Banyu Urip tercatat 357 juta bph dan telah terpenuhi. Melihat capaian Louise pun mengaku terus berharap untuk dapat memenuhi Iebih dari dua kali lipat komitmen volume rencana pengembangan awal. Mengacu data SKK Migas, produksi siap jual (lifting) minyak Blok Cepu ditargetkan 216.000 bph pada 2019. 

Hingga September 2019 lalu, realisasi lifting minyak Blok Cepu tercatat telah melampaui target, yakni sebesar 216.011 bph. Deputi Operasi Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Julis Wiratno menjelaskan sejauh ini produksi dari Banyu Urip masih murni berisi kandungan minyak dan belum ada air yang ikut terproduksi bagian dari reservoir management yang sangat bagus.”

Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan (Amdal)

Sebenarnya, dengan meningkatnya cadangan minyak dan Lapangan Banyu Urip, volume produksi dapat ditingkatkan. Namun,belum rampungnya pengurusan revisi izin Amdal masih menjadi hambatan. Terkait proses Amdal, Louise mengatakan ada beberapa tahapan yang harus dilalui, tanpa menyebut apa saja fase tersebut. 

“Kami mengalami kemajuan, dan mudah-mudahan [izin Amdal] akan keluar dalam satu-dua bulan,” katanya.

Di sisi lain, Kepala Dinas Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Jawa Timur Setiadjit mengatakan investor diminta aktif untuk menyampaikan kesulitan perizinan dan Amdal, sehingga pihaknya dapat memfasilitasi. Terkait dengan revisi Amdal Lapangan Banyu Urip, Setiadjit mengakui pihak Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro belum menyampaikan usulan perubahan. 

“Sekarang ini yang dari Pemerintah Kabupaten Bojonegoro perlu didorong. Kalau perlu saya berkunjung ke Bupati Bojonegoro tentang ini [revisi Amdal],” tuturnya.

Sangat ironis sebenarnya apabila upaya Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS) bersama SKK Migas untuk meningkatkan produksi terhambat urusan perizinan. Secara implisit, SKK Migas pun menginginkan revisi Amdal segera rampung. Apalagi, menurut Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto mengatakan sesuai dengan High Rate Test (HRT) Lapangan Banyu Urip mampu memproduksi minyak sebesar 235.000 bph dengan aman.

Dwi pun berharap semua proses perizinan dapat diselesaikan dengan cepat. Karena dengan terhambatnya revisi Amdal, peningkatan produksi dari Blok Cepu pun ikut terhambat. Ibarat bertambahnya minyak seperti volume air dalam ember tetapi tidak dapat diambil lebih banyak, karena ‘gayung’ atau izin Amdal tidak direvisi.
