There are Oil Fields Stay Poor Communities

Bojonegoro - new sunrise, but the atmosphere of Regency Village Wonocolo Kec. Kedewan Bojonegoro, it was looking to live with and miners thatched traditional oil. Among them have even turned on the diesel engine of a truck behind her like deliberately removed the body to pull a rope made of alternating steel.
Wonocolo village to go to, can be reached by car and motorcycle a distance of about 50 km to the west of Bojonegoro. There direct border with the City Cepu Blora Central Java. More into the back, exactly to the traditional oil fields, located in the area of teak forests are still growing in the lush mountains of Perhutani KPH.Parengan, Cepu and JATIROGO.

Many ways of doing the people around the traditional oil fields is to wash the rupiah. . Ranging from workers' labor panarik rope, to collect the oil separation with just water in the bowels of the earth taken from a depth of 300 meters. Al result, crude oil for decades dredged, to sell to the next through the KUD Bogosasono Pertamina.

But with crude oil output was, it did not change the fate of people, around the oil fields are still many mlarat life, filled with portraits of poverty, despite world oil prices soared. Why? wage was enacted for the traditional oil panambang not as high from the oil in the can from the sweat sweat. Just imagine, crude oil was only given a stipend of Rp 47,500, - each drum containing 200 liters.

"Wages are just updates as of March 1, 2006, the previous even just bought a drum USD 37 thousand," said Sri Bowo (41) when found in the area of the mine jawakini crude Wonocolo Village.

Crude oil is sent to the KUD Bogosasono, clearly hurt the miners, who pegged the price is not human anymore, because for just a day job as a miner of oil, the results obtained are not sufficient for daily needs. So that the fruits of the day as a miner in the oil can only Rp 15,000 to Rp 20,000, -.

For that, hundreds of miners oil several times demanding the KUD Bogosasono, Pemkab.Bojonegoro and Pertamina to raise the wages of the crude oil shooting. But residents claim the Village Wonocolo and four other villages as a producer of crude oil is among Kedewan Village, Hargomulyo, Beji and Wonocolo which are all located in the Kec.Kedewan not done.

Finally, since the month of October 2006, the citizens against by not sending crude oil to KUD.Bogosasono, they choose to process crude oil with traditional flute. Then sell it to some shelter at Tuban, Blora and Bojonegoro to send to the next in Surabaya and Semarang.

"It results from the mining of crude oil is not appreciated by the citizens of the KUD Bogosasono, eventually the miners seek a breakthrough to change his fate by selling to gatherer," said Pagimin (65) of stu miners there.

The statement that simply do not suffer their fate again and again. Because for decades, miners in here to eat the results are sometimes less, forced residents nyambi as a laborer and farming, whereas in the bowels of the earth-born citizens of the land is the source of enough oil is huge.

For that, see the potential of existing natural surroundings continue to give off oil. While the results are in can be very njomplang once, then done a thousand different ways of local people by selling direct result of his efforts to the gatherer. At first police officers from the police and raided the Polwil Bojonegoro crude oil sales practices without going through the KUD Bogosasono.

Because in the eyes of the law, the act which is done by the miners is considered to have damaged the country and can cause environmental pollution. On the other hand can not stand people with a hungry belly. Because of the lack of such crude oil prices, eventually the practice of selling crude oil out of the area continued until, and even the miners themselves had established cooperative Jaya Patra Jasa which collect crude oil from residents about the seductive price
