Pertamina Accelerates BPD 1 Million Oil Production Target by 2026

PT Pertamina (Persero) seeks to accelerate the increase in national oil production to 1 million Barrels Per Day (BPD) in 2026, from the initial plan of 2030.

This is to anticipate the increase in demand for crude oil after the completion of six refinery projects in 2026. 

Nicke Widyawati

    Pertamina's Director Nicke Widyawati said the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK oil and gas) is targeting an increase in oil production to 1 million BPD. in 2030.

To achieve this target, his party will increase the number of drilling wells, conduct seismic activities to find new reserves, and applying enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology. However, his party is now preparing an optimistic scenario of this plan, so that oil production of 1 million BPD can be realized in 2026.

"We are making an optimistic case with the EOR [1 million BPD production] in 2026. We hope," he said in a meeting with Commission VI Indonesian Parliament.

Nicke explained, the accelerated increase in oil production needs to be done because the company's oil needs will surge in 2026. This follows the targeted completion of six of the company's refinery projects that year which will boost refinery capacity from the current 1 million BPD to 2 million BPD.

"Why is it accelerated in 2026? Because the refineries we built are starting to produce, and that needs an additional supply of crude oil, " Nicke said.

Regarding EOR, according to her, Pertamina's Upstream Directorate is currently detailing technologies that can be used. It targets the EOR can be done quickly so that the results can be felt immediately. One of these EOR technologies will be used to increase oil production in the Rokan Block after the operatorship is switched to Pertamina.

"Mr. Dharmawan [Pertamina Upstream Director] and SKK oil and gas are refining the technology that we can use to accelerate additional production in upstream oil and gas," said Nicke.

Even now, Pertamina through Pertamina EP has also implemented EOR in Tanjung Field. The company has also signed a core understanding between Pertamina and Repsol for the management of the full scale, including the implementation of the Surfactant-polymer EOR.

In the Jirak and Rantau Fields, Pertamina is conducting a Surfactant chemical application study for EOR implementation in both fields. Furthermore, Pertamina is currently conducting studies in several fields, namely Jatibarang, Sukowati, and Ramba for EOR with CO2 flooding.

Pertamina also expanded the EOR activities to the oil and gas block managed by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), namely in the Offshore North West Java Block, precisely in the Zulu Field and E-Main. In addition, in the Batang field which is operated by PHE Siak, an EOR Steam flooding pilot project will be conducted in the near future.

Acquisition of oil and gas blocks

In addition to EOR, Nicke said that the acquisition of oil and gas production blocks overseas is also the company's strategy to accelerate the achievement of 1 million BPD oil production in 2026.

"Because it is a faster and more effective way to increase production, the acquired blocks will produce," Nicke said.

Referring to Pertamina's data, the state-owned company will budget upstream oil and gas investment funds this year US $ 3.7 billion. The funds will be used to develop the upstream oil and gas business organically and inorganically. 

   For details, funds for developing the upstream oil and gas business organically or increasing oil and gas production from existing assets of US $ 3.57 billion. Meanwhile, for inorganic business development of US $ 150 million.

Pertamina Upstream Director Dharmawan H Samsu Sempat explained that the upstream oil and gas inorganic investment is the addition of oil and gas block assets. Unfortunately, he was reluctant to mention which oil and gas block the company was targeting.

Dharmawan only mentioned one of the regions that the company targeted to add assets, namely in Africa. Previously, Dharmawan H Samsu also briefly mentioned targeting oil and gas assets in the Middle East region.

The last time Pertamina took over oil and gas assets in another country was in 2017. At that time, the company acquired 64.46% shares of the French oil and gas company, Maurel and Promm. Through this acquisition, the company has oil and gas assets spread in Gabon, Nigeria, Tanzania, Namibia, Colombia, Canada, Myanmar, Italy, and other countries.

However, the main assets that have been producing are in Gabon, Nigeria, and Tanzania. In addition, in Algeria, the company has shares in the Menzel Lejmet North (MLN) Block, El Merk (EMK), and Ourhoud (OHD). Next, in Iraq, the company holds shares in West Qurna 1. Field. While in Malaysia, the company holds shares in Block K, Block Kikeh, SNR Block SK309, and Block SK311.

Cepu Block EIA Revision Will Be Completed Soon

The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) is optimistic that the revision of the Cepu Block Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA/Amdal) will be completed soon. Environmental Impact Analysis revision is needed so that oil production from the Cepu Block can be increased to 235 thousand barrels per day (BPD).

Deputy Head of SKK Migas Fatar Yami Abdullah said the local government's response to the proposed revision of the Cepu Block Environmental Impact Analysis was very good. Now the proposed Amdal revision of Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited (EMCL) has been fully discussed at the local government level.

the Cepu Block Exxon Mobil Cepu Limited (EMCL)

The Head of SKK Migas Dwi Soetjipto explained that Exxon Mobil had conducted a trial and the results of the Cepu Block production facility were stated to be able to produce oil up to 235 thousand BPD in safe conditions. 

     However, the increase in production of the Cepu Block is still awaiting approval of the revised environmental impact analysis (EIA). Because the current EIA only lists a maximum production of 220 thousand BPD.

As long as the Environmental Impact Analysis revision approval has not yet been obtained, oil production from the Banyu Urip Field had to be reduced due to the operation of the Kedung Keris Field. 

    This is so that operations in the Cepu Block do not violate the existing EIA. Oil production from the two fields can only be optimized after the new AMDAL is approved. So it cannot ascertain when the Kedung Keris Field reaches peak production.

Azi N Alam

Vice President of Public and Government Affairs of Exxon Mobil Indonesia Azi N Alam stated that his office continues to seek approval for the revision of the Cepu Block Environmental Impact Analysis. He continued to coordinate with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, SKK Migas, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), and the Bojonegoro Regency Government.

the Cepu Block Field

The problem of the revision of the Cepu Block EIA which was not immediately approved by the Bojonegoro Regency Government was raised in a meeting of the House of Representatives Commission VII with the Cooperation Contract Contractor (KKKS). Not only that the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Arifin Tasrif previously also highlighted the problem of the slow approval of this Amdal revision.

Arifin explained that the Cepu Block has an important role in increasing national oil lifting. Moreover, President Joko Widodo is tasked with increasing national oil and gas lifting. Therefore the EIA approval process is a way to increase national oil lifting considering the Cepu Block contributes 30% of the national lifting.

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

PHE Pay Oil Spill Compensation

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ) paid initial compensation for 1,999 affected residents in Karawang, West Java. Compensation is given to residents affected by gas leaks and oil spills in the Karawang Sea that have fulfilled the requirements. 

    PHE ONWJ partnered with the State-Owned Bank Association (Himbara) in the payment of this compensation.

This payment was made after the Karawang Regency Working Group Working Team finalized the improvement of data and re-verification of residents belonging to group B, namely affected residents who were included in the Regent's Decree but their identity data needed improvement.

Ifki Sukarya

PHE Vice President Relations Ifki Sukarya said the initial compensation payment for group B was made after the Karawang Working Group completed the citizens' identity data and re-verified the recommendations of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

Every citizen is entitled to receive compensation in the amount of Rp 1,800,000 for a two-month calculation with the number of group B to be paid as many as 1,999 residents. Ifki explained, PHE tried to carry out the process of paying compensation for affected residents as soon as possible, but of course as well as possible so that later it could be accounted for.

"We hope that all parties understand that this process requires carefulness and prudence so it takes time," Ifki Sukarya said.

At present, PHE ONWJ together with the IPB Team and the affected district or city Working Group simultaneously calculate final compensation based on data obtained.

Accelerated Masela Block Production Target

The government is targeting the Masela Block to start production in 2026 or a year earlier than the original schedule, which is in 2027. The total investment for the Masela Block reaches the US $ 19.8 billion. 

the Masela Block

    Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif said steps to accelerate the project so that the impact of the Masela Block's presence could be felt earlier, especially in terms of revenue.

Arifin Tasrif 

"In order to get revenue, if possible in 2026," said Minister Arifin.

The Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Activities (SKK Migas) Dwi Soetjipto said the acceleration of the project was allowed after there was certainty about land acquisition. The initial schedule for construction starts in 2022, but we are committed to accelerating. Land acquisition, which has a target of two years, can be targeted for one year, "Dwi said.

Dwi Soetjipto

The land acquisition is targeted to be completed this year, so that next year the construction process can already begin. On the other hand, SKK Migas and the Masela Block operator, Interpex Masela Ltd, also continue to pursue commitments to purchase gas. If gas purchases have reached 80% of the total production capacity, then the final investment decision (FID) process can also begin.

Because if it's already FID, construction can begin. Funding can also be obtained because there are already agreements that have been pursued, "explained Dwi.

According to him, in working on the Masela project, the Dual-Feed scheme will be adopted in which the Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) and Ont End Engineering Design (FEED) processes are carried out hand in hand. What is clear is that until now the tender process is still ongoing to determine the project implementation contractor.

Nevertheless, Dwi did not want to mention further about this tender. SKK Migas was asked to prioritize lead consortium handled by the Iokal company during dual FEED and EPC for the LNG Plant and Floating Production Storage & Offloading (FPSO) in the Abadi Gas Field project, Masela Block, Timor Sea, Maluku.

The Executive Director of the Association of the Energy and Oil and Gas Supporting Energy Business Association, Kamaluddin Hasyim, admitted that he received the news from SKK Migas asking the lead consortium, not from a local company, but to prioritize international companies.

Masela's New Round

Finally, there began to shed some light on the future of gas from the Abadi Field, Blok Asela, in Maluku. PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PT PLN Persero) and PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) signed a memorandum of understanding on gas purchases with Inpex Corporation on Wednesday (2/19/2020) night in Jakarta. This is the first step in a long journey on how natural resources in Indonesia should be managed.

The Abadi Field on the Masela Block

The Abadi Field on the Masela Block is another blessing from God for this country. Discovered in 1998, proven reserves of Masela gas 18.5 trillion cubic feet. Planned for production in 2027, the Masela Block will produce 9.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year and 150 million standard cubic feet per day (MMS CFD) of natural gas.

Even more detailed, the natural wealth is managed with a capital of 19.8 billion US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 267 trillion. The government calculation shows that the total gross revenue from the Masela Block will reach 118.41 billion US dollars or nearly Rp 1,600 trillion during operation. The share of the country will reach 38.9 billion US dollars or Rp 525 trillion. The remainder is the contractor's portion and the recovered operating costs (cost recovery).

the Arun gas field in Lhokseumawe, Aceh

How can you make Masela's fate unlike other natural resource-producing regions in Indonesia? As a comparison, the Arun gas field in Lhokseumawe, Aceh. Starting in production in 1979, Arun gas was exported to Japan and South Korea. Arun was recorded as the largest natural gas producer in the world in 1990 with a production capacity of 1.5 million tons per year.

As it was written in this column on December 7, 2019, the Arun gas well is now dry and has stopped operating since October 2014. So, what is the Arun gas yield? Based on statistical data, the poverty rate in Aceh as of March 2019 was 15.32 percent, far above the national average in the same period of 9.41 percent.

The Human Development Index (HDI) in Aceh in 2018 is 71.19 or slightly below the national HDI of 71.39 Arun should be a lesson for Masela. How abundant natural wealth turned out not to be able to fully improve the lives of its people. That is because natural wealth is seen as a commodity-producing foreign exchange, not the capital for driving domestic development.

The matter of managing natural resources is not a trivial matter. Moreover, Masela is much bigger than Arun. The management is definitely more complicated. The signs have been seen when the polemic decided whether the Masela Block gas should be managed offshore or processed at an onshore refinery several years ago. Finally, the Masela gas was decided to be processed at the mainland refinery.

PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PT PLN Persero)

The memorandum of understanding is already in the right direction. Its natural gas is the source of energy for PLN's power plants. While the rest is used to support the fertilizer industry. Indeed, the memorandum of understanding is not final and binding like a gas sale and purchase agreement. At least this is the first step of a long journey ahead.

For PLN, the use of gas from Masela can replace fuel oil for electricity generation. While for the fertilizer industry, gas becomes a vital raw material. Gas from Abadi Field is piped directly to the fertilizer plant. This means that fertilizer plants must be built on land or on the island around sources of gas capable of providing new jobs.

Once again, Arun must be a lesson for Masela. Gas must be a source of energy to empower the economy in the country, not sold to generate foreign exchange. Both the regional and central government must have a long-term vision so that the Masela Block does not suffer the same fate as the Arun Block.

Pertamina EP Asset 4 Drill in Six New Wells

PT Pertamina EP Asset 4 has carried out the 2020 Work Plan Kickoff activity which was followed by all Field Managers and Managers in Asset with the aim of aligning the vision and mission of Asset 4 in realizing performance targets in 2020.

"We have exceeded 2019 very well although production targets have still not been reached. My hope in 2020 this work plan that we have prepared together can be carried out well and production can be achieved by 16,100 BOPD and for gas by 162.22 MMSCFD, "said Asset 4 General Manager, Agus Amperianto.

Agus Amperianto

Agus added that to support the achievement of the 16,100 BOPD production target and for the gas of 162.22 MMSCFD, Asset 4 has a work plan with 6 new drilling wells, including in Cepu Field 4 Wells (KWG-PWAI, KW G-PCAI, KWG-PXA1, SMG-SMG) P17S), Sukowati Field 1 Well namely SKW-1003 and Papua Field 1 Well namely SLW-A9X.

ESDM Accelerates Sakakemang Block

The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) will accelerate the submission of plans for the development of oil and gas fields. One example of the acceleration done is through the certification of reserves in the Saka Kemang Block.

the Saka Kemang Block in Sumatra

Repsol, the cooperation contract contractor (KKKS) for the block manager, is reported to have been gradually certifying oil and gas reserves in order to accelerate POD. 

Repsol Girl's

    In the initial certification the amount of reserves included was only 1 Trillion Cubic Feet (TCF) from proven potential reserves of around 2 TCF. Sakakemang Block is one of the largest oil and gas discoveries in the world during the 2018-209 period.

"What I heard was preparing for POD earlier this year," explained Deputy Operations of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) JuIius Wiratno.

Acting Director General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Ego Syahrial hopes SKK Migas can make efforts to accelerate the oil and gas field PoD. Because many oil and gas blocks have not yet entered the PoD stage. In fact, the block could have great potential.

"There are still many, such as in Masela, there are those who will only enter PoD in 2027. If it can be accelerated," said Ego Syahrial.

Actually, efforts to accelerate the PoD have begun to be carried out by SKK Migas. Earlier this year SKK Migas launched the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) program to facilitate licensing so that it could accelerate the implementation of oil and gas projects in Indonesia. 

     With ODSP, both SKK Migas and KKKS will become a team. Both of them coordinate with each other while proactively overseeing the licensing process. KKKS also does not need to operate independently in managing oil and gas project licensing.
