Pertamina Maximized the Transition Stages of Rokan Block  

Jakarta, September 11, 2020 - PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) continues to prepare to take over the operations of the Rokan Block working area (WK), which will start on August 9, 2021. During this transitional period, PHR made maximum efforts so that the operations of the Rokan WK would continue to run well, one of which was related to the procurement of goods and services.

Director of PT PHR, RP Yudantoro, said until now PHR is mapping the existing contracts at PT CPI and the post-transition PHR work plan. PHR is also in the middle of determining the needs for goods and services of all user function entities. PHR has also started meeting with potential partners and socializing the procurement process and procedures at PHR to speed up the procurement process later. This socialization was carried out online on Thursday (3/9/2020) to around 150 prospective partners who are partners of PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) who have handled several goods and services needs at the Rokan WK.

"We realize that PHR cannot work alone to optimize and develop WK Rokan. This requires the involvement of partners in the procurement of goods and services that we need for the operational needs and interests of WK Rokan," said Yudantoro.

Data on Partners and Contracts Related to the Rokan Block are Required to Accelerate the Transition

Concerning data on work partners and contracts, Yudantoro said, assisted by SKK Migas, PHR continued to communicate intensively with PT CPI. Therefore, they can accelerate the transition of documents or data from work partner contracts owned by PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) during the 2017-2021 period, including whose contract period has expired but is still needed for the operation of WK Rokan.

This contract document is necessary considering that the plan for the procurement of goods and services for routine operations will be based on the mapping of existing contracts in the current WK Rokan. Meanwhile, non-routine operations are carried out based on work plans and production targets determined by PHR.

"PHR will immediately prepare a contract for WK Rokan based on information from the existing operator, thus enabling PHR to prepare an adequate scope of work and technical specifications," said Yudantoro.

The procurement of goods and services at PHR, added Yudantoro, will be carried out according to company needs by making efficiency in all fields. Coordination with work partners who will become PHR business partners can be done through the Business to Business mechanism.

"PHR will synergize with Pertamina Group and BUMN in limited areas, for example, the procurement of helicopters with Pelita Air, the procurement of some onshore rigs with PDSI. So, we will also involve other local and national companies in operating activities at WK Rokan," concluded Yudantoro. **
