Oil companies in Indonesia and SKK Migas were buzzing with activities and excitement in 2019.
Exploration and Production Results
First, here are the combined performance results of the exploration and production activities of all the oil and gas production sharing contractors in Indonesia operating under the supervision of SKK Migas in 2019:
- Total number of active work areas: 201
- Average daily crude oil production: 746,000 BOPD
- Average daily gas production: 5934 MMSCFD
- Combined total daily oil and gas production: 1,806,000 BOEPD
- The total value of the investment: 11.49 Billion USD
- Number of development wells completed: 322
- Number of exploration wells drilled: 36
- The volume of oil and gas in place discovered: 113 BBOE
- 2-D seismic surveys completed: 12169 KM
- 3-D seismic survey completed: 6837 KM2
On the oil and gas discovery front, it is nice to note that REPSOL and partners PETRONAS and MOECO discovered a giant gas field in February 2019 in the Sakakemang block in South Sumatera. With 2 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas reserves, it is one of the largest gas discoveries in the world in 2019 and also the most significant gas discovery in Indonesia in the last 18 years.
On new field development, Inpex Indonesia and SKK Migas made significant progress in developing the huge Abadi gas field and constructing the LNG plant. It was decided the LNG plant will be built in the Yamdena Island in the Maluku province of Indonesia.

The SKK Migas
The SKK Migas of Indonesia has also been very proactive in its roles as the supervisor of the production sharing contractors to facilitate their exploration and production activities.
With the vision to increase the oil production in Indonesia to one million barrels per day by 2030, SKK Migas instituted the Integrated Operation Center (IOC) and the One Door Service Policy (ODSP) in 2019.
The Integrated Operation Center (IOC)
SKK Migas launched the Integrated Operation Center (IOC) in 2019. With the IOC, SKK Migas now has online and realtime access to information and data related to the exploration, drilling and production activities of the production sharing contractors in all work areas.
The IOC allows SKK Migas to monitor the daily field activities of all operators, understand the field situations and make prompt recommendations.
The objectives of SKK Migas in establishing the OIC are to keep the oil and gas operations go smoothly and achieve the production targets.
Currently here is the information that is being monitored by the Integrated Operation Center:
- Oil and gas production (Production Dashboard)
- Oil and gas lifting (Oil and Gas Lifting Dashboard)
- Stock Management (Stock Management Dashboard)
- Plant Operation (Plant Information Management System – PIMS)
- Facility Maintenance
- Project Progress
- Vessel tracking (Vessel Tracking Information System – VTIS)
- Real-Time Drilling Operation
- Emergency responses (Emergency Response Center – ERC)
The One Door Service Policy (ODSP)
SKK Migas also introduced One Door Service Policy (ODSP) in 2019. Through ODSP, the applications of all the permits related to exploration, drilling, field development, and production can be processed in one place.
SKK Migas will work with and support all the production sharing contractors in preparing the required documents and submitting the applications to obtain the various permits they need.
This is a very significant service because of the various types of permits that oil operators must apply. With this one-door policy, SKK Migas is hopeful that the various permits can be obtained promptly, and the oil and gas exploration and production targets can be achieved.
The One Door Service Policy consists of four work-groups that will help the production sharing contractors deal with the following type of permits:
- Permits related to land acquisition and use
- Permits related to the environment, safety and security
- Permits related to the use of resources and infrastructure
- Permits related to the use of materials and human resources from outside Indonesia.
Several exploration and production targets were exceeded in 2019 and SKK Migas is hopeful the new 2020 targets can be achieved also by the end of the year.
