SKK Migas Insist Not Want Increase Lifting Cepu Block

Jakarta, aktual.com – Special Team The Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) is insist on the lifting would not increase production as demand existing Cepu block operator, namely Exxonmobil.

Head of Public Relations SKK Migas, Taslim Z Yunus unwarranted restrictions on the production of the current set taking into account the sustainability of long-term production, and lower state revenues due to the sale price of oil is cheap

“It was not produced because it is reserves danger for a long time, but that with low oil prices because the country does not benefit from ExxonMobil parts by 70 percent,” said Taslim to Aktual.com Thursday (23/6)

Formerly of the SKK Migas only allow production in Cepu block as many as 165 thousand bpd, whereas ExxonMobil filed a production up to 200 thousand bpd.

Viewing this issue, the Executive Director of the Center of Energy and Resources Indonesia (CERI) Yusri Usman saw SKK Migas policy politically laden. Moreover Yusri said that the head of SKK Migas, Amien Sunaryadi once accused the PT Pertamina EP Cepu, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina (Persero) will export the resulting increase in production later.

“It is impossible Pertamina will export. Pertamina just now hard to find crude oil to the refinery’s own needs. If the correct that then oil is exported by Pertamina, then I dare say this anomaly viscous oil and gas mafia charge. Pertamina has been denied and will not be exported. Amien do not find protection with disfigure Pertamina,” said Yusri.

Yusri said he received information that there were crude oil sold parts of the country by the way how is exported to operational reasons. Not to mention the sales of crude oil to the country part of the private sector under normal prices alias obtain discounts.

“If the statement of amien is true, it is means he knew the game of mafia Migas, simple logic, unreasonable oil from domestic production is supplied to the state’s interests through Pertamina but instead prioritized for export,” press Yusri.

Then SKK Migas proposed technical reasons ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd (EMCL) who seemed to ‘teach fish to swim’. “Definitely EMCL in proposing it already with technical studies and not as comments Amien Sunaryadi who do not understand the technical but more pretentious know. Amien remember what is it graduates” he stated.

Further according yusri, Amin should not rush to make a decision rejecting an increase in production, it is better done in-depth studies while also seeing the trend in oil prices that enable economical for the country.

“Because every decision to agree or not does not mean that production could be increased immediately that day, to be prepared all the supporting infrastructure,” he said.

If then economic reasons, said Yusri, questions would be great, as the price of oil below the average USD 40 per barrel, for what SKK Migas spread excessive incentives offer.

“Because it is not given any incentives the state has come up short. It was in fact the result of oil and gas revenue versus cost recovery in 2015 alone we come up short. So do not be swindled public kept by the officials of the oil and gas that will encourage oil and gas upstream activities by providing new incentives so exciting.” Resolve Yusri.
