Oil and Gas Project Permit Can Be Completed in Three Days

SKK Migas launched the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) program for various licenses.

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKKK Migas) released the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) program to simplify the various licensing processes in the upstream oil and gas sector.

SKK Migas hopes that this system can accelerate the implementation of oil and gas projects in Indonesia. Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said ODSP was one of the implementations of the SKK Migas strategy in resolving licensing constraints related to oil and gas projects.

"With the ODSP, both SKK Migas and the Cooperation Contract Contractors (KKKS) will become a team. Both of them coordinate with each other while proactively supervising various permits," he said.

Now, oil and gas contractors do not need to walk independently in managing permits related to oil and gas projects. Before there was an ODSP, sometimes KKKS took care of direct permits to several related agencies, but there were also those who passed SKK Migas first, Dwi said.

Inevitably, due to the seemingly complicated and separate licensing process, it took about 14 days for the contractor to obtain a permit. With the ODSP, the licensing process only takes three days, "Dwi claimed.

The problem is that oil and gas entrepreneurs have long complained about the licensing process. As a result, oil and gas investment in the country continues to decline, in addition to the impact of global economic conditions that are not attractive.

Referring to the SKK Migas data, the realization of investment in upstream oil and gas still misses the target in 2019, investment in upstream oil and gas is recorded at the US $ 11.49 billion, or only equal to 78.16% of the 2019 target of US $ 14.7 billion. The realization came from exploration investments of US $ 0.62 billion, development of US $ 1.59 billion, production of US $ 8.37 billion and administration of US $ 0.91 billion.

Dwi hopes the presence of ODSP can realize Indonesia's ideals in 2030, which is capable of producing 1 million Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD). The ODSP program includes three services, namely licensing consultations, preparation, and equipment of licensing requirements, as well as escorting or advocating for licensing constraints.

Inpex Corporation

Inpex Masela Ltd Corporate Service Vice President Nico Muhyiddin rate, licensing is one of the main obstacles that can slow down oil and gas projects. Through ODSP, SKK Migas and contractors can collaborate so that licensing issues can be seen precisely. We hope that issues related to project permits can be handled more quickly, he said.

the Masela Block

At present, Inpex Masela Ltd is still in charge of environmental impact analysis (EIA) of the Masela Block Abadi Gas Field project. Previously, they had also continued to coordinate with SKK Migas in managing the permit.

Azi N Alam

Once ODSP is implemented, the EIA permit process for Inpex Masela Ltd can be faster. Vice President of Public and Government Affairs of ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam said ODSP had the right initiative from SKK Migas in facilitating the bureaucracy in licensing oil and gas projects in the country. We appreciate this program especially since the final goal is to improve the production capability of the KKKS, he said.

With ODSP, contractors and SKK Migas can improve communication and coordination in obtaining permits to relevant agencies, the Ministry of Agriculture and Spatial Planning and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Izin Proyek Migas Bisa Selesai dalam Tiga Hari 

     SKK Migas meluncurkan program One Door Service Policy (ODSP) untuk berbagai perizinan.

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKKK Migas) merilis program One Door Service Policy (ODSP) untuk mempermudah proses berbagai perizinan di sektor hulu migas. 

SKK Migas mengharapkan sistem tersehut bisa mempercepat pelaksanaan proyek-proyek migas di Indonesia. Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto menyampaikan, ODSP mempakan salah satu implementasi strategi SKK Migas dalam menyelesaikan hambatan perizinan yang berkaitan dengan proyek migas.

"Dengan adanya ODSP, baik SKK Migas dan Kontraktor Kontrak Kerja Sama (KKKS) akan menjadi satu tim. Keduanya saling berkoordinasi sekaligus mengawasi secara proaktif dalam mengurus berbagai perizinan,” kata dia.

Kini, kontraktor migas tidak perlu berjalan sendiri-sendiri Iagi dalam mengurus perizinan terkait proyek migas. Sebelum ada ODSP, kadang KKKS mengurus izin Iangsung ke beberapa instansi terkait, tapi ada juga yang Iewat SKK Migas dulu, ujar Dwi. 

Tidak pelak, akibat proses perizinan yang terkesan berbelit-belit dan terpisah, maka membutuhkan waktu sekitar 14 hari bagi kontraktor untuk mendapatkan izin. Dengan adanya ODSP, proses perizinan hanya memakan waktu tiga hari," klaim Dwi.

Soalnya, para pengusaha migas sudah lama mengeluhkan proses perizinan. Alhasil, investasi migas di tanah air terus menurun, selain imbas kondisi ekonomi global yang sedang tidak menarik. 

Mengacu data SKK Migas, realisasi investasi di hulu migas masih meleset dari target sepanjang2019, investasi di hulu migas tercatat US$ 11,49 miliar atau hanya setara 78.16% dari target 2019 yang senilai US$ 14,7 miliar. Realisasi tersebut berasal dari investasi eksplorasi US$ 0,62 miliar, pengembangan US$ 1,59 miliar, produksi US$ 8,37 miliar dan administrasi senilai US$ 0,91 miliar.

Dwi berharap kehadiran ODSP dapat mewujudkan cita-cita Indonesia di tahun 2030 nanti, yakni mampu memproduksi minyak sebanyak 1 juta barrel oil per day(bopd). Program ODSP meliputi tiga Iayanan yakni konsultasi perizinan, penyiapan dan perlengkapan syarat perizinan, serta pengawalan atau advokasi terhadap kendala perijnan.

Vice President Corporate Service Inpex Masela Ltd Nico Muhyiddin menilai, perizinan menjadi salah satu kendala utama yang bisa memperlambat proyek migas. Melalui ODSP, SKK Migas dan kontraktor bisa berkolaborasi sehingga masalah perizinan bisa dilihat secara tepat. Harapan kami masalah terkait izin proyek bisa ditangani lebih cepat, kata dia.

Saat ini, Inpex Masela Ltd masih mengurus analisis dampak Iingkungan (amdal) proyek Lapangan Gas Abadi Blok Masela. Sebelumnya, mereka juga sudah terus berkoordinasi dengan SKK Migas dalam mengurus izin tersebut. 

Begitu ODSP diterapkan, proses izin amdal bagi Inpex Masela Ltd bisa lebih cepat. Vice President Public and Government affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam menyebut, ODSP mempakan inisiatif yang tepat dari SKK Migas dalam mempermudah birokrasi perizinan proyek migas di tanah air. Kami apresiasi program ini apalagi tujuan akhirnya adalah meningkankan kemampuan produksi dari KKKS, sebut dia.

Dengan ODSP, kontraktor dan SKK Migas dapat meningkatkan komunikasi dan koordinasi dalam mengurus izin ke instansi terkait, Kementerian Agraria dan Tata Ruang serta Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan.

The Government Will Bid 12 Oil and Gas Blocks

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) will auction 12 conventional and non-conventional oil and gas blocks this year. The ESDM Ministry is optimistic that there are still many investors interested in entering the national upstream oil and gas business. 

     Director of Upstream Business Development Directorate General of Oil and Gas at the ESDM Ministry Mustafid Gunawan said the 12 oil and gas blocks to be auctioned consisted of 10 conventional oil and gas blocks and two non-conventional oil and gas blocks.

Currently, his office is preparing a tender for 12 oil and gas blocks. However, he continued, not all oil and gas blocks will be auctioned together. In the initial stage, it will offer conventional oil and gas blocks first.

"Hoping this March or April conventional oil and gas blocks can be auctioned, 10 oil and gas blocks first," he said.

As for the auction of the two non-conventional oil and gas blocks, he said that they would do afterward. This is because it requires more time to prepare for conventional block auction, bearing in mind that the auction of conventional oil and gas blocks has been resumed after a long stop. Even last year, there was no auction for non-conventional oil and gas blocks.

"The [auction] non-conventional oil and gas block has long been [not done]. We are still looking for what [the strategy] is so that the non-conventional oil and gas block [auction] is even more active, ”explained Mustafid.

The preparation of the auction, which includes the cooperation contract / PSC scheme to be used, is the investment cost that can be returned (cost recovery) or gross profit sharing (gross split). It will see which scheme is more interesting from the technical side.

"What is clear, from the open leadership [whether using cost recovery or gross split, depending on technical results," he said.

Acting Director-General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Djoko Siswanto, added that Indonesia is currently still using the two PSC schemes. Of the 254 existing PSCs, only around 45 PSCs use a gross split scheme and the remainder a cost recovery scheme.

However, to avoid polemics, he will offer the two PSC schemes in the oil and gas block auction this year. Therefore, preparation for the auction requires a longer time. This is because it must calculate the amount of profit-sharing (split) offered to the contractor for each scheme so that the economy is the same.

"In terms of cost recovery, surely the government split is greater because it also shares costs. If the gross split, the government is small because the contractor is responsible for the cost. We need time to compare this because the exploration block auctioned is difficult to calculate its economy, "Djoko explained.

Still Interesting

Outside the oil and gas block auction, Mustafid revealed, there were very many international oil and gas companies that were interested in conducting exploration in open areas of Indonesia. Two of these companies are Neptune Energy and BP.

"BP is discussing conducting a survey outside its working area, as a diversion of commitment. This is still being processed, the funds are very large, "he said.

Separately, Deputy Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Fatar Yani Abdurrahman explained, his party had brought in oil and gas investors from various countries last year. Some of these oil and gas companies claim that oil and gas investment in Indonesia is increasingly attractive.

So far, interested companies are Neptune Energy, Premier Oil, Petrochina and BP. In line with Mustafid, BP will issue several new investments reaching the US $ 4 billion in new fields.

"This Indonesian oil and gas investment is still very interesting. Moreover, there are many basins that have not yet been explored, "said Fatar.

Mustafid added, the government is ready to support investors to enter the national upstream oil and gas business. One of them is by ensuring that the implementation of oil and gas data disclosure can take place in the next six months.

"What really determines [investment] about data, so the data is opened, can be accessed and can even be processed," he said.

This data disclosure is called using a membership system. At present, he is still calculating the amount of membership fees to access this data. Later if an oil and gas company becomes a member, then the contractor can access all existing oil and gas block data. However, if not registered as a member, oil and gas companies can only access basic data.

Pemerintah Akan Lelang 12 Blok Migas

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) akan melelang 12 blok migas konvensional dan non-konvensional pada tahun ini. Kementerian ESDM optimistis masih banyak investor yang berminat masuk di bisnis hulu migas nasional. 

    Direktur Pembinaan Usaha Hulu Direktorat Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Mustafid Gunawan mengatakan, 12 blok migas yang akan dilelang ini terdiri dari 10 blok migas konvensional dan dua blok migas nonkonvensional. 

Saat ini, pihaknya sedang menyiapkan dokumen lelang 12 blok migas ini. Namun, lanjutnya, tidak seluruh blok migas akan dilelang bersamaan. Di tahap awal, pihaknya akan menawarkan blok migas konvensional terlebih dahulu.

“Berharap Maret atau April ini yang blok migas konvensional bisa dilelang, 10 blok migas dulu,” kata dia.

Sedangkan untuk lelang dua blok migas nonkonvensional, disebutnya akan dilakukan setelahnya. Hal ini lantaran pihaknya membutuhkan waktu lebih lama untuk menyiapkan lelang blok konvensional, mengingat lelang blok migas konvensional ini kembali dilakukan setelah sekian lama berhenti. Pada tahun lalu pun, tidak ada lelang blok migas nonkon-vensional.

“Yang [lelang] blok migas non-konvensional sudah lama [tidak dilakukan]. Kami masih mencari seperti apa [strateginya] agar [lelang] blok migas nonkonvensional lebih giat lagi,” jelas Mustafid.

Persiapan lelang yang dilakukan yakni termasuk skema kontrak kerja sama/PSC yang akan digunakan, apakah biaya investasi yang dapat dikembalikan (cost recovery) atau bagi hasil kotor (gross split). Pihaknya akan melihat skema mana yang lebih menarik dari sisi teknis.

“Yang jelas, dari pimpinan terbuka [apakah memakai cost recovery atau gross split, tergantung hasil teknis,” tuturnya.

Pelaksana Tugas Direktur Jenderal Minyak dan Gas Bumi Kementerian ESDM Djoko Siswanto menambahkan saat ini pun Indonesia masih menggunakan dua skema PSC tersebut. Dari 254 PSC yang ada saat ini, hanya sekitar 45 PSC yang memakai skema gross split dan sisanya skema cost recovery. 

Namun, untuk menghindari polemik pihaknya akan menawarkan kedua skema PSC tersebut dalam lelang blok migas tahun ini. Karenanya, persiapan lelang membutuhkan waktu lebih lama. Hal ini lantaran pihaknya harus menghitung besaran bagi hasil (split) yang ditawarkan ke kontraktor untuk masing-masing skema agar keekonomiannya sama.

“Kalau cost recovery, pasti split pemerintah lebih besar karena ikut tanggung cost. Kalau gross split, pemerintah kecil karena yang menanggung cost itu kontraktor. Kami perlu waktu untuk bandingkan ini, karena yang dilelang blok eksplorasi jadi sulit menghitung keekonomiannya,” jelas Djoko.

Masih Menarik

Di luar lelang blok migas, Mustafid mengungkapkan, sangat banyak perusahaan migas internasional yang berminat melakukan eksplorasi di wilayah terbuka Indonesia. Dua perusahaan diantaranya adalah Neptune Energy dan BP.

“BP sedang berdiskusi untuk lakukan survey di luar wilayah kerjanya, sebagai pengalihan komitmen. Ini masih diproses, dananya sangat besar sekali,” ujarnya.

Secara terpisah, Wakil Kepala Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) Fatar Yani Abdurrahman menjelaskan, pihaknya telah mendatangkan investor migas dari berbagai negara pada tahun lalu. Beberapa perusahaan migas ini menyatakan bahwa investasi migas di Indonesia semakin menarik. 

Sejauh ini, perusahaan yang berminat adalah Neptune Energy, Premire Oil, Petrochina, dan BP. Senada dengan Mustafid, BP akan mengeluarkan beberapa investasi baru yang mencapai US$ 4 miliar di lapangan baru.

“Ini investasi migas Indonesia masih sangat menarik. Apalagi banyak basin-basin yang belum dieksplor,” tegas Fatar.

Mustafid menambahkan, pemerintah siap mendukung investor untuk masuk ke bisnis hulu migas nasional. Salah satunya yakni dengan memastikan implementasi keterbukaan data migas bisa berlangsung dalam enam bulan mendatang.

“Yang sangat menentukan [investasi] tentang data, jadi data dibuka, boleh di akses dan bahkan boleh diolah,” ungkapnya.

Keterbukaan data ini disebutnya menggunakan sistem keanggotaan. Saat ini, pihaknya masih menghitung berapa besaran iuran keanggotaan untuk mengakses data ini. Nantinya jika sebuah perusahaan migas menjadi anggota, maka kontraktor bisa mengakses seluruh data blok migas yang ada. Namun jika tidak terdaftar sebagai anggota, perusahaan migas hanya dapat mengakses data dasar.

SKK Migas Ensures Oil and Gas Licensing for Only Three Days

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) accelerates and simplifies the upstream oil and gas licensing process to only three days to ensure all oil and gas projects are completed on time. This year, there are 12 oil and gas projects targeted to start operating.

Dwi Soetjipto

Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto said oil and gas exploration and exploitation activities require several licenses involving more than one agency. Therefore, with the active support of SKK Migas, he is optimistic that there will be no more constraints on licensing in the upstream oil and gas sector and licensing can be completed sooner. 

    The acceleration of this permit can be realized by the inauguration of the One Door Services Policy (ODSP).

"So that the licensing process can be accelerated from the usual 15 days to only three days," he said after inaugurating the ODSP.

Through ODSP, the entire service contract licensing contract (KKKS) licensing process is carried out in one door and the process is also faster. SKK Migas and KKKS jointly conduct research on the completeness of each licensing requirement from various agencies that exist today. 

    Even more than that, SKK Migas will help the KKKS to be able to fulfill the documents that are required for licensing and assist the licensing arrangements in the relevant agencies.

According to Dwi, with the delay in the completion of the upstream oil and gas project due to the ODSR due to the long and time-consuming process of licensing, this will not happen again. This is important considering that if the project is completed on time, the project costs will also not increase greater than agreed upon and implementation is more efficient.

"Because any delays in the upstream oil and gas project will lead to cost escalation. The impact on the government is that state revenue is delayed and not optimal, "he stressed.

He said the ODSP service completes the operation of the Integrated Operation Center (IOC) conducted by his party at the end of last year. He is optimistic that with these two improvements, the upstream oil and gas target this year can be achieved. Because the operation of the IOC and ODSP can overcome several obstacles, including in the field of licensing and data accuracy.

"We have enough time to make improvements if there are obstacles found during the implementation of the WP&B (work plan and budget). We have data to prevent negative events that could hamper upstream oil and gas operations this year, "Dwi explained.

Going forward, he hopes that ODSP services can provide a real and optimal contribution to improving the national oil and gas investment climate. Thus, Indonesia is able to compete with other countries in the region such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as other parts of the world, considering that upstream oil and gas investments are cross-border investments.

"This is the stage we want to build transformation, according to the government's vision and the direction of the Minister (ESDM Minister Arifin Tasrif), we must always improve investment in upstream oil and gas. One of them is to pursue the dream of 1 million BPD (barrels per day), "Dwi said.

Vice President Corporate Services of INPEX Masela Ltd. Nico Muhyiddin and ExxonMobil Indonesia's Vice President of Public and Government Affairs Azi N Alam appreciated SKK Migas's steps in implementing ODSP services. - each company.

Azi N Alam

"As we know licensing so far is something that can slow down the project. This step is very appropriate, we hope the problem will be dealt with quickly and appropriately. We hope that the implementation of this program runs well so that the target can be achieved properly, "said Nico.

12 Projects

Meanwhile, SKK Migas Deputy for Operations Julius Wiratno said there were 12 oil and gas projects planned to start operating this year. One of the biggest is the Merakes Project undertaken by ENI Indonesia.

"Merakes will be operational in the fourth quarter of this year," he said.

In the Merakes Field, ENI plans to drill six underwater wells and build an underwater pipeline system that will be connected to the floating production unit / FPU Jangkrik facility in the Muara Bakau Block.

The peak production of the Merakes Field is estimated to reach 60,305 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd barrels equivalent). In the first quarter, Julius continued, there were four projects targeted to operate. In particular, Bukit Tua Phase-3 with an estimated production of 31.5 million cubic feet per day / mmscfd by Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd, Grati Pressure Lowering 30 mmscfd by Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd, Buntal-5 45 mmscfd by Medco E&P Natuna Ltd, and the Sembakung Power Plant by PT Pertamina EP.

Furthermore, four projects will operate in the second quarter. In particular, the Scissor Randu Project with an estimated production of 3 mmscfd by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Randu Scissors, a 15 mmscfd Betung Compressor by PT Pertamina EP Malacca Strait Phase-13,000 BPD by EMP Mallacca Strait, and Meliwis 20 mmscfd by Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd . 

     Finally in the third quarter of 2020 there were three oil and gas projects scheduled to operate. These three projects are the 2.4 mmscfd Beauty Project by PT Sele Raya Belida, the 150 mmscfd LP-MP Compressor by PT Pertamina EP and Peciko 8A 8 mmscfd by PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

In 2020, national oil and gas lifting is set at 1.95 million boepd, up slightly from last year's 1.8 million boepd. Specifically, oil production rose to 755 thousand bpd from the realization of 746 thousand bpd, and gas to 1.19 million boepd from the realization of 1.06 million boepd.

SKK Migas Pastikan Perizinan Migas Hanya Tiga Hari

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mempercepat dan mempermudah proses perizinan hulu migas menjadi hanya tiga hari untuk memastikan seluruh proyek migas selesai tepat waktu. Pada tahun ini, terdapat 12 proyek migas yang ditargetkan mulai beroperasi.

Kepala SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto menuturkan, kegiatan eksplorasi maupun eksploitasi migas membutuhkan beberapa perizinan yang melibatkan lebih dari satu instansi. Karenanya, dengan dukungan aktif SKK Migas, dia optimistis tidak akan ada lagi kendala perizinan di hulu migas dan perizinan bisa selesai lebih cepat. Percepatan perizinan ini dapat direalisasikan dengan diresmikannya One Door Services Policy (ODSP).

“Sehingga proses perizinan bisa dipercepat dari biasanya 15 hari menjadi hanya tiga hari,” kata dia usai meresmikan ODSP.

Melalui ODSP, seluruh layanan proses perizinan kontraktor kontrak kerja sama (KKKS) dilaksanakan dalam satu pintu dan prosesnya juga lebih cepat. SKK Migas dan KKKS bersama-sama melakukan penelitian atas kelengkapan untuk setiap persyaratan perizinan dari berbagai instansi yang ada saat ini. Bahkan lebih dari itu, SKK Migas akan membantu KKKS untuk dapat memenuhi dokumen yang menjadi persyaratan perizinan serta mendampingi pengurusan perizinan di instansi terkait.  

Menurut Dwi, dengan adanya ODSR keterlambatan penyelesaian proyek hulu migas karena hambatan proses perizinan yang lama dan menghabiskan waktu, tidak akan terjadi lagi. Hal ini penting mengingat jika proyek selesai tepat waktu, maka biaya proyek juga tidak akan bertambah lebih besar dari yang telah disetujui dan pelaksanaan lebih efisien.

“Karena setiap keterlambatan proyek hulu migas akan menimbulkan ekskalasi biaya. Dampak bagi pemerintah adalah penerimaan negara tertunda dan tidak optimal,” tegas dia.

Layanan ODSP disebutnya melengkapi pengoperasian Integrated Operation Center (IOC) yang dilakukan pihaknya pada akhir tahun lalu. Dia optimis dengan dua perbaikan ini, target hulu migas pada tahun ini dapat tercapai. Pasalnya, beroperasinya IOC dan ODSP dapat menyelesaikan beberapa hambatan, antara lain di bidang perizinan dan akurasi data.

“Kami memiliki cukup waktu untuk melakukan perbaikan jika ada kendala yang ditemukan saat implementasi WP&B (work plan and budget/rencana kerja dan anggaran). Kami memiliki data untuk mencegah kejadian negatif yang dapat menghambat operasional hulu migas di tahun ini,” jelas Dwi.

Ke depannya, pihaknya berharap layanan ODSP dapat memberikan kontribusi yang nyata dan optimal untuk meningkatkan iklim investasi minyak dan gas nasional. Sehingga, Indonesia mampu bersaing dengan negara-negara lain di kawasan seperti Malaysia, Thailand dan Vietnam, maupun belahan dunia lainnya, mengingat investasi hulu minyak dan gas adalah investasi lintas negara.

“Ini tahapan kami ingin membangun transformasi, sesuai visi pemerintah dan arahan Pak Menteri (Menteri ESDM Arifin Tasrif) , kami harus selalu memperbaiki investasi di hulu migas. Salah satunya untuk mengejar mimpi 1 juta bph (barel per hari) ,” tutur Dwi.

Vice President Corporate Services INPEX Masela Ltd Nico Muhyiddin dan Vice President Public and Government Affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia Azi N Alam mengapresiasi langkah SKK Migas menerapkan layanan ODSP Kedua perusahaan ini sudah secara langsung merasakan manfaat ODSP ketika mengurus analisi dampak lingkungan (Amdal) proyek migas yang digarap masing-masing perusahaan.

“Seperti diketahui perizinan selama ini merupakan hal yang dapat memperlambat proyek. Langkah ini sangat tepat, harapan kami permasalahan akan ditangani dengan cepat dan tepat. Kami harapkan implementasi program ini berjalan dengan baik sehingga target yang dituju bisa dicapai dengan benar,” ujar Nico.

12 Proyek

Sementara itu, Deputi Operasi SKK Migas Julius Wiratno mengatakan, terdapat 12 proyek migas yang direncanakan mulai beroperasi pada tahun ini. Salah satu yang paling besar adalah Proyek Merakes yang dikerjakan ENI Indonesia.

“Merakes akan beroperasi pada kuartal keempat tahun ini,” ujarnya.

Di Lapangan Merakes, ENI rencananya akan mengebor enam sumur bawah laut serta membangun sistem pipa bawah laut yang akan terhubung dengan fasilitas floating production unit/FPU Jangkrik di Blok Muara Bakau. 

Puncak produksi Lapangan Merakes diperkirakan bisa mencapai 60.305 barel setara minyak per hari (barrel oil equivalent per day/ boepd). Pada kuartal pertama, Julius melanjutkan, terdapat empat proyek yang ditargetkan beroperasi. 

     Rincinya, Bukit Tua Phase-3 dengan estimasi produksi 31,5 juta kaki kubik per hari/ mmscfd oleh Petronas Carigali Ketapang II Ltd, Grati Pressure Lowering 30 mmscfd oleh Ophir Indonesia (Sampang) Pty Ltd, Buntal-5 45 mmscfd oleh Medco E&P Natuna Ltd, dan Sembakung Power Plant oleh PT Pertamina EP.

Selanjutnya, empat proyek akan beroperasi di kuartal kedua. Rincinya, Proyek Randu Gunting dengan perkiraan produksi 3 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Randu Gunting, Kompresor Betung 15 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina EP Malacca Strait Phase-13.000 bph oleh EMP Mallacca Strait, serta Meliwis 20 mmscfd oleh Ophir Indonesia (Madura Offshore) Pty Ltd. 

      Terakhir di kuartal ketiga 2020 terdapat tiga proyek migas yang dijadwalkan beroperasi. Ketiga proyek ini adalah Proyek Cantik 2,4 mmscfd oleh PT Sele Raya Belida, Kompresor LP-MP SKG-19 150 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina ER serta Peciko 8A 8 mmscfd oleh PT Pertamina Hulu Mahakam.

Pada 2020, lifting migas nasional ditetapkan 1,95 juta boepd, naik sedikit dari realisasi tahun lalu 1,8 juta boepd. Rincinya, produksi minyak naik menjadi 755 ribu bph dari realisasi 746 ribu bph, serta gas menjadi 1,19 juta boepd dari realisasi 1,06 juta boepd.

The Government is Ready to Bite the Oil and Gas Mafia

      Adjustment of gas prices for industries is needed to encourage Indonesia's competitiveness from products produced to attract investors. The government is preparing a strategy to eradicate the mafia of the oil and gas sector which causes high prices.

Presidential Chief of Staff General Moeldoko

"The president always said that the oil and gas business must really be able to operate properly. He has often said such strong words, I don't think it should reach the President, if necessary 'bite', yes I will bite first, "said Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko at the Bina Graha Building, Jakarta.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama

Moeldoko has invited PT Pertamina's chief commissioner Basuki Tjahaja Purnama to discuss a number of issues in the oil and gas sector. He expressed the direction of President Joko Widodo in the context of improving the oil and gas sector. One of them, namely the reduction in industrial gas prices that must be done. Moeldoko stressed he would oversee Jokowi's policy to reduce oil and gas prices.

Two issues discussed by Moeldoko with Ahok, greeting Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, were the matter of the President's directives to reduce the price of industrial gas and the management of strategy at PT Pertamina.

"The point is that all the President's policies in the context of oil and gas must be able to run as well as possible and there is not a single thing that can block it," said Moeldoko.

Adjustment of gas prices for the industry is needed to encourage Indonesia's competitiveness, both from products produced and attracting investors into the country. Meanwhile, Basuki said that Moeldoko had been trusted to carry out the President's direction, the company's strategic policy had been prepared and ready to be implemented immediately.

"We already have the formula. Later you will ask questions to the president director, "said Basuki.

To be sure Pertamina is confident that their steps will be supported by the government.

the oil and gas mafia

Seriously Fix

Energy observer Fahmy Radhi told Media Indonesia that the current government really often handles oil and gas mafia issues.

"Starting with Mr. Jokowi, he was angry at someone who was happy to import, even biting like that. Then also, Jokowi ordered the Head of the Criminal Investigation Section to oversee the construction of the refinery. Then also, I thought that the appointment of Ahok was also intended to eradicate the oil and gas mafia in Pertamina, "he said.

Fahmy revealed the oil and gas mafia used two weaknesses. "First, the weakness of decision making. That one can be bribed, can be controlled. It could be within the scope of government and also Pertamina "Fahmi said.

The second is to take advantage of governance that is not transparent or made transparent.

"That can be easily exploited by the oil and gas mafia earlier. Can be manipulated, "he continued.

To overcome this, Fahmy added, the government needed to work extra. Leaders or decision-makers must be people who have integrity. 

   In addition, it is also necessary to improve the governance of companies involved such as Pertamina because according to him, the oil and gas mafia in companies or government agencies is related to the wider oil and gas mafia.

"Inside, Pertamina is related to mafias, also those outside Pertamina. Like that systematically, "he said.

Ahok: the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) Supports Pertamina to Improve Strategy

PT Pertamina (Persero) Chief Commissioner Basuki Tjahaja Purnama said the government supported the BUMN's move to improve its strategy.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama aka Ahok

"The point is that the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) will fully support me so that all the goals of the President are achieved," said Ahok, Basuki's nickname, at the Bina Graha Building in Jakarta.

Presidential Chief of Staff General Moeldoko

Ahok has met with Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko to discuss a number of issues including efforts at the direction of the President to reduce the price of industrial gas, as well as managing strategies at PT Pertamina.

Regarding high gas prices for industries, Ahok explained that the government already knew of inefficient parties in managing gas distribution. To eradicate the oil and gas mafia to reduce the price of industrial gas, Ahok handed it over to the government.

the oil and gas mafia

     Meanwhile, Moeldoko said legal efforts to overcome the oil and gas mafia would be considered.

"The point is that all of the President's policies in the context of oil and gas must be able to run as well as possible and there is nothing that can block them," said Moeldoko.

President Joko Widodo said Moeldoko, often emphasized the improvement of the oil and gas sector so as to reduce the price of industrial gas. This is needed so that the competitiveness of the domestic industry increases and can provide efficiency on the production line.

ESDM: Indonesian Upstream Oil and Gas Investment Still Promising For Global Investors

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) considers that upstream oil and gas investment in Indonesia is still very promising for global investors.

the West Ganal Block

"Right now international companies are starting to enter Indonesia, one of which is Neptune Energy in the West Ganal oil and gas block (off the coast of the Makassar Strait)," said Director of Upstream Oil and Gas Business Development at the ESDM Ministry Mustafid Gunawan in Jakarta.

Eni Indonesia Limited

As is known, the Consortium Eni Indonesia Limited - PT Pertamina (Persero) - Neptune Energy West Ganal B.V. became the winner of the auction on the West Ganal block. He added, British Petroleum (BP) would also conduct exploration activities in open areas.

"BP is discussing discussions to conduct a survey outside the CoW, transfer of commitments is still being processed. The funds are very large, "he said.

He believes that the high interest of global investors in investing in upstream oil and gas, according to him, is not without reason. Currently, the oil and gas data has been transparent as the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 7 of 2019 was issued concerning the Management and Utilization of Oil and Gas Data. 

     Mustafid said oil and gas investors can access and process data in accordance with Ministerial Regulations. To access the oil and gas data, oil and gas investors must register themselves as members and pay contributions.

"The fee is being determined. Throughout being a member, get data. If not, only get basic data. Many investors are hoping for data, "he said.

In 2020, Mustafid said, his party would auction 12 work areas (WK) or oil and gas blocks.

"2020, we prepare a WK auction from a technical standpoint, whether cost recovery or gross split, is applied openly depending on evaluation," he said.

ESDM: Invostasi Hulu Migas Indonesia Masih Menjanjikan bagi Investor Global

Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) menilai bahwa investasi hulu migas di Indonesia masih sangat menjanjikan bagi investor global.

“Sekarang ini perusahaan internasional mulai masuk ke Indonesia, salah satunya Neptune Energy di blok migas West Ganal (lepas pantai Selat Makasar),” ujar Direktur Pembinaan Usaha Hulu Migas Kementerian ESDM Mustafid Gunawan di Jakarta.

Sebagaimana diketahui, Konsorsium Eni Indonesia Limited - PT Pertamina (Persero) - Neptune Energy West Ganal B.V. menjadi pemenang lelang di blok West Ganal itu. Ia menambahkan, British Petroleum (BP) juga bakal melakukan kegiatan eksplorasi di wilayah terbuka.

“BP sedang berdiskusi pembahasan untuk lakukan survey di luar WK, pengalihan komitmen masih diproses. Dana sangat besar sekali,” ucapnya.

Keyakinan tingginya minat investor global berinvestasi hulu migas, menurut dia, bukan tanpa alasan. Saat ini data migas telah transparan seiring telah diterbitkannya Peraturan Menteri  ESDM Nomor 7 Tahun 2019 Tentang Pengelolaan dan Pemanfaatan Data Minyak dan Gas Bumi. Mustafid mengemukakan investor migas dapat mengakses dan mengolah data sesuai ketentuan Peraturan Menteri. Untuk mengakses data migas itu, investor migas wajib mendaftarkan diri sebagai anggota dan membayar iuran.

“Sedang ditetapkan biaya iurannya. Sepanjang menjadi anggota, mendapat data. Kalau tidak, hanya mendapat data dasar. Banyak investor yang berharap data,” ucapnya.

Pada 2020, Mustafid mengatakan, pihaknya bakal melelang 12 wilayah kerja (WK) atau blok migas.

“2020, lelang WK kita siapkan skema dari sisi teknis, apakah cost recovery atau gross split, diterapkan terbuka tergatung evaluasi,” ujarnya.

Ia mengemukakan wilayah kerja yang akan dilelang itu terdiri dari 10 blok migas konvensional, dan sisanya non konvensional. Sebelumnya, Kepala Biro Komunikasi, Layanan Informasi Publik dan Kerja Sama Kementerian ESDM Agung Pribadi mengatakan Pemerintah optimistis dengan Peraturan Menteri itu dapat mengundang sebesar-besarnya investasi di hulu migas. 

Pemerintah memberikan akses data kepada semua pihak yang membutuhkannya dengan akses yang sebesar-besarnya bagi pihak yang terdaftar menjadi anggota. Dia mengatakan menjadi anggota berhak mendapatkan akses paket data pada penawaran Wilayah Kerja secara gratis serta mendapatkan paket data  gratis untuk pemenang lelang.

“Sedangkan bagi bukan anggota, akses data diberikan terbatas hanya untuk data umum, data dasar, data olahan dan data interpretasi yang telah melewati masa kerahasiaan.

Kemarin saat aplikasi ini dipresentasikan kepada kontraktor migas, mereka mengakui bahwa aplikasi data migas ini sangat membantu dalam melakukan pengelolaan data migas,” ujar Agung.
