ABSTRACT
The oil and gas industry is divided into two activities, which are upstream activity and downstream activity. Upstream activity is engaged in exploration and production activities of petroleum, while downstream activity is engaged in processing, transportation, storage, and marketing of petroleum product. X Company is one of the multinational companies that has its business activity in upstream sector. It has the worldwide operation in several countries, including Indonesia. There are some projects that have not been producing oil in Indonesia. From many existing projects, it is important to know which project that should be chosen in order to reduce a big loss of developing uneconomical project. Therefore, project analysis becomes the important thing to know whether a project is feasible or not.
The main objective of this final project is to conduct the economical feasibility analysis of one of the X Company’s project that still in the exploration and appraisal stage. The project refers to the Shark field with one wellhead-platform (WHP) and one FPSO in Dolphin block. The project is analyzed by using capital budgeting decision method and sensitivity analysis. The capital budgeting decision method that is used as the theoretical foundation including Net Present Value (NPV) method, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) method, and Profitability Index Ratio (PIR). Meanwhile, Tornado and Spider chart are used as sensitivity analysis tools to know how some components can change the project’s value.
According to data calculation and analysis, there are two steps in conducting a project analysis that will determine whether a project is economically to be developed or not. The first step is making financial projection model, then followed by conducting sensitivity analysis. There are several steps to do in the making of financial projection model, which are make the assumptions by following the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) terms, make input data sheet, make calculation or process sheet, and make the output or result sheet.
Based on the calculation result, the project of Shark Field with 1 WHP in Dolphin Block is feasible to be developed. It is shown from the positive value of NPV as well as the higher IRR percentage compared to the discount rate. Even though the PIR shows a small figure, it does not mean that the project should be rejected. It is only a supporting factor in project analysis that determines the capital expenditures efficiency of a project. Meanwhile, Tornado and Spider chart shows that reserve size and oil price are the most sensitive components based on their long bar. Therefore, they become the important components that should be considered because of their ability to change the project’s value.
Since the project is feasible to be developed according to its NPV and IRR calculation but has the small figure of PIR, the recommendation is focused on how to increase the PIR value. The company is better to attempt to obtain new data by conducting more extensive exploration and appraisal drilling, and also using its data acquisition from those drillings. By knowing more information about the reservoir and subsurface that will be drilled, it is expected to be able to reduce the high uncertainty in the reservoir and subsurface when the drilling process begin. Regarding its sensitivity result, the X Company should sharpen and strengthen its drilling process and it is better to be supported by process of preparation, data acquisition, as well as good planning. These recommendations are expected to improve the company’s performance so that it will maintain the sustainability of the company’s life.
ABSTRAK
Aktifitas industri minyak dan gas terbagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu aktifitas hulu dan hilir. Aktifitas hulu berkaitan dengan aktifitas eksplorasi dan produksi minyak, sementara aktifitas hilir berkaitan dengan proses, transportasi, penyimpanan, dan aktifitas marketing untuk produk minyak. Perusahaan X adalah salah satu multinasional perusahaan yang memiliki aktifitas bisnis di bidang hilir. Perusahaan ini beroperasi di beberapa Negara, termasuk Indonesia. Beberapa dari proyek mereka yang berada di Indonesia belum memproduksi minyak. Dari bebrapa proyek yang sedang diajalankan, sangatlah penting untuk mengetahui proyek mana yang harus dipilih untuk mengurangi kemungkinan mendapat kerugaian besar karena mengembangkan proyek yang tidak ekonomis. Oleh karena itu, analisis proyek menjadi suatu hal yang penting untuk mengetahui apakah suatu proyek menguntungkan atau tidak.
Tujuan utama dari tugas akhir ini adalah menganalisis kelayakan ekonomi dari salah satu proyek yang dimiliki perusahaan X yang masih berada di tahap explorasi dan penaksiran. Proyek yang akan dianalisis adalah ladang Shark dengan satu kepala sumur di blok Dolphin. Proyek ini akan dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode keputusan penganggaran modal dan analisis sensitifitas. Metode keputusan penganggaran model yang akan digunakan sebagai landasan teori termasuk metode nilai bersih sekarang, metode laju pengembalian, dan indeks rasio probabilitas. Sementara itu, grafik Tornado dan Spider digunakan sebagai alat untuk mengukur sensitifitas dengan tujuan mengetahui bagaimana beberapa komponen dapat merubah nilai dari suatu proyek.
Berdasarkan perhitungan dan analisis data, terdapat dua langkah yang harus dikerjakan dalam menganalisis proyek yang akan menentukan apakah suatu proyek itu ekonomis untuk dikembangkan atau tidak. Langkah pertama adalah membuat model proyeksi keuangan, kemudian diikuti dengan melakukan analisis sensitifitas. Terdapat beberapa cara yang harus dilakukan untuk membuat model proyeksi keuangan, yaitu membuat asumsi dengan mengikuti ketentuan kontrak bagi hasil, membuat lembar input data, membuat lembar perhitungan atau proses, dan membuat lembar hasil. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan, proyek ladang Shark dengan satu kepala sumur di blok Dolphin layak untuk dikembangkan. Hal ini terlihat dari positifnya nilai nilai bersih sekarang dan nilai laju pengembalian yang lebih tinggi dari tingkat pengembalian yang diinginkan. Walaupun indeks rasio probabilitas menunjukan angka yang kecil, itu tidak berarti bahwa proyek ini harus di tolak. Rasio ini hanya sebagai faktor pendukung dalam analisis proyek yang menentukan efisiensi pengeluaran modal suatu proyek. Sementara itu, grafik Tornado dan Spider menunjukkan bahwa ukuran cadangan dan harga minyak merupakan komponen yang paling sensitif. Oleh karena itu, ukuran cadangan dan harga minyak adalah komponen penting yang harus di pertimbangkan karena kemampuan mereka untuk mengubah nilai proyek tersebut.
Selama proyek tersebut layak untuk dikembangkan berdasarkan nilai bersih sekarang dan laju pengembalian namun memiliki angka yang kecil untuk indeks rasio probabilitas, saran yang diberikan difokuskan kepada bagaimana car meningkatkan nilai dari indeks rasio probabilitas. Perusahaan X lebih baik mencoba untuk mendapatkan data-data baru dengan memperluas pengeboran eksplorasi dan penaksiran, serta menggunakan akuisisi data dari pengebeoran-pengeboran tersebut. Dengan mengetahui informasi yang lebih banyak mengenai reservoar dan permukaan yang akan dibor, diharapkan hal ini dapat mengurangi tingkat ketidakpastian di reservoar dan permukaan ketika pengeboran dimulai. Mengenai hasil sensitivitas, perusahaan X harus mempertajam dan memperkuat proses pengeborannya yang didukung dengan proses persiapan yang baik, akuisisi data, serta planning yang baik. Saran-saran ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan performa dari perusahaan sehingga dapat menjaga kelangsungan hidup dari perusahaan.
Kata kunci: analisis kelayakan ekonomi, nilai bersih sekarang, laju pengembalian, indeks rasio probabilitas, analisis sensitifitas
