Jero Wacik, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), affirmed that the Temporary Work Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas Activity (SKSP Migas) will only be a temporary work unit.
“I have no intention of making SKSP Migas a permanent institution,” said Jero during his speech at the Indonesian Petroleum Engineering Experts Association’s (Ikatan Ahli Teknik Perminyakan Indonesia – IATMI) event in Jakarta, Tuesday (4/12).
Jero, who is now the Chairman of SKSP Migas, explained that his authority over the institution does not relate to his membership in the Democratic Party Honorary Council or reflect his party’s interests.
“Some people say that if [SKSP Migas] stays under my authority for too long, I will use the institution as a political tool. After eight years as a minister, I will not compromise my integrity in the next two years,” Jero confirmed. He also informed that the House of Representatives is currently drafting the new oil and gas law.
Jero further explained that the establishment of SKSP Migas by the Government is merely to accommodate the Constitutional Court Decision No. 36/PUU-X/2012(Decision) on the judicial review of Law No. 22 of 2001on Oil and Gas (see ILB No. 2036).
The Decision led to the dissolution of BP Migasand to the temporary transfer of BP Migas’ duties, functions, and organizational structure to the Ministry of ESDM until the Government issues a new oil and gas law.
As a follow up to the Decision, the Government issued three regulations. The first one is Presidential Regulation No. 95 of 2012on The Transfer of Duties and Functions of the Upstream Oil and Gas Activity Agency (Presidential Regulation).
Two other regulations were issued by the Minister of ESDM, namely Decree No. 3135K/08/MEM/2012on The Transfer of Duties, Functions, and Organizational Structure of the Upstream Oil and Gas Activity Agency; and Decree No. No. 3136K/73/MEM/2012on the Transfer of Deputy Chairman and Deputies of the Upstream Oil and Gas Activity Agency to the Temporary Work Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas Activity (see ILB No. 2037).
Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs Hatta Rajasa also rejected the idea of making SKSP Migas as a permanent institution. He confirmed that the Government is currently planning to establish a permanent institution to replace SKSP Migas.
Hatta denied any suggestions to transfer SKSP Migas’ authority and obligations to the National Oil and Gas Company (PT Pertamina). If it ever happened, Hatta said that it would lead to a conflict of interest.
“The Government is ready to receive any input regarding an ideal form of the new upstream oil and gas activity agency,” he concluded. -- Antara
