Oil production as Running Forcing Premature Babies

Mobil Cepu Limited (MCL) was overwhelmed with panic. At the time a little production schedule, they must prepare a helter skelter production support lands Cepu Block oil fields. Always popular sovereignty the central government, can not tolerate delay efforts.
Especially after fuel and gas crisis, the familiar becomes part of the country life. And wells as part of Banyuurip inch Cepu Block fields, got sucked. And processed into fuel oil or gas at the end of 2008.
Target, Cepu Block must be able to squeeze up to as many as 1 million barrels every day. Oil needs domestically. That's not counting the needs of the oil exports that had long coveted the top brass earth earth.
As a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil, which has over a hundred years operating in Indonesia, MCL was trying to fulfill the desire Jakarta. Departure of an inch of liberated land by way of door to door, the field was forced to shed Banyuurip black gold on December 10, 2008.
"This is really weird, supporting utilities are not ready forced production," said one Parmo Bojonegoro legislators, responding to initial production at the Cepu Block Bunyuurip wells in the area Mojodelik Village, Sub Ngasem, Bojongeoro it.
Technically Cepu Block production can begin. In fact too. Although armed with only an inch of land, MCL began pumping oil from the earth Angling Darmo. At least the oil companies based in this Uncle Sam's country, capable of providing special gift on the anniversary of the 51 Pertamina.
Just fun land owner and the earth, MCL has started sending three cars 5000-liter tank capacity to Central processing area (CPA) Mudi Field, Rahayu Village, Sub Soko, Tuban. This facility had previously been a part of the oil processing JOB Pertamina - Petrochina.
Should, said Parmo, before the production of a number of supporting facilities and processing of crude oil to be prepared. However, deception land speculators who had taken control of land in and around Cepu Block, making MCL dither. Let alone to prepare the land for 600 hectares of CPF area, only a quarter had also successfully released. New MCL successfully removed 5 hectares of land from local people.
One such facility fital Early Production Facility (EPF), Piping for 6 inch long 60 Km to the Mudi Field, Tuban, not kelar workmanship. Similarly Rifenery Mini (mini refinery) Sumengko Village, District Kalitidu, Bojonegoro are still being finalized.
The strangeness does not lead to more reasonable. EPF in the Village Gayam, District Ngasem, who was working PT Hanover will be one means to temporarily accommodate and separate the crude oil with water from the Well Banyuurip. Then the oil will be channeled to storage tanks at Mudi Field, Tuban using pipe 6 that the process conducted inc Consortium PT Geo Link Nusantara, Petrogas Main East Java and PT. Barata Indonesia. Whereas the remaining oil will be processed in a mini refinery.
"Maybe this is just to please the central government alone," sneered Parmo, the politician from the Democratic Party this Bojonegoro.
Not surprisingly, if the limited means of supporting the initial production from the Well Banyuurip A-4 previously heralded Cepu Block operator of 20,000 barrels per day, only realized about 94 barrels a day. That amount if it is assumed, each of 5000 and the truck capacity equal to 1 barrel of 159 liters.
"It will go gradually up to 20 thousand barrels per day in the early quarter of 2009, the month of April next," said Acting Public Affairs Manager of MCL, Rexy H Mawardijaya, as reported initial production of the Vice Regent Bojonegoro Setyo Hartono.
MCL also realized if the transportation of crude oil using the land route will increase the cost (cost). However, with the development of Piping kelarnya not owned Pertamina had no other choice for the MCL. Despite the bitter with three tank cars to transport the crude to the CPA's Camp, a choice that could dielak.
"We do not see the cost, but the important thing is safety and security in transporting crude oil from Banyuurip to Mudi Field," said Dedy Affidik Devolepment Manager and Team Manager of MCL Land when disseminating information on the Village Rahayu, Tuban.
According to the original male Sunda, West Java, sending crude oil tank car was only temporary to help Pertamina. It is forced to do because Piping Working PT Barata Indonesia, was not finished until now.
If the pipe is ready MCL could channel crude oil from as many as 20 barrels Banyuurip. "The count of 10 to 14 barrels we channeled to Mudi, and six barrels again channeled into a mini mill in the village of Sumengko," explained Dedy.
However, this minus bespectacled man can not be sure until when transporting crude oil as it will last. He also could not estimate the workmanship of Piping Banyuurip-Mudi, this will be done. Piping Development is not a region of MCL, but the duty and authority of Pertamina.
"If the problem (processing Piping) were asked directly to the PT is working. Because we only work out the oil and send it to the destination (Banyuurip - Mudi), "said Dedy.
On the other hand, recriminations between the MCL and PT Barata Indonesia related to the amount of initial production led to the assumption italics. Maybe the small amount of initial production subsidiary of U.S. oil giant is associated with falling world oil prices. Does a decrease in the initial production of this really Piping due to unfinished work until now.
Feeling dikambinghitamkan MCL with initial production target failure, PT Barata Indonesia also spoke. According to Project Manager PT Barata Indonesia, S Joko Pamungkas, construction of production facilities is an interrelated unity. Because they were, to finish work this Piping should be coupled with the completion of the work EPF.
"Piping is that we build to deliver crude oil from the EPF. So it's no good if the pipe is ready, but it was not ready EPF, "said S. Joko Pamungkas when contacted by Banyuurip voice phonselnya.
He explains, now has continued workmanship Piping Gayam from the Village to the location in the village tank Rahayu, Tuban. Targeted in the month of December 2008 was the process will be completed 100 percent.
"Just left a few Tie In. In recent weeks we will do hydro test (using water), "he said.
Meanwhile, Vice Regent Setyo Hartono, quite knowledgeable with the start of production of the Cepu Block. The second big man in the ranks of this Bojonegoro Regency welcomes the initial production has been done through its subsidiary, ExxonMobil MCL.
For these soldiers, initial production Cepu Block fields, a great history for the people of Bojonegoro in the presence of oil in the well Banyuurip. "This way people do not worry anymore, because Banyuurip Well actually remove the oil," Hartono Setyo call when receiving Rexy representing H Mawardijaya MCL, when describing the best progress along the tensile ulurnya Cepu Block production.
Hopefully with the accelerating pace of oil production will provide additional income for the Regional Revenue (PAD) Bojonegoro. End would be used for improvement of social welfare in the region formerly known as the jatinya forest.
"Hopefully this product can be felt by society," added Setyo Hartono
