Antara perkembangan yangpaling menarik di sektor hiliran ialah perlaksanaan Projek PGU II, loji penapis kita yang kedua di Melaka dan beberapa projek petrokimia. Kesemua ini akan melahirkan tuntutan-tuntutan baru ke atas perbadanan ini dan juga terhadap sumbemya. Sempena Ulang Tahun Ke-15 penubuhan perbadanan ini, kita harus menyemak dan meneliti kedudukan kita, mengenalpasti kekuatan dan kelemahan kita di samping merangka peran- cangan untuk masa depan. Untuk semua ini kita memerlukan komitmen sepenuhnya daripada setiap kakitangan perba- danan ini.

On that count, I am optimistic that there will be continuing investnent. It should also be noted that for the contractors there are other considerations besides the PSC terms. The ease at getting things done is one of them. Our administrative system is not cumbersome. We don't change the rules midstream. When we promise something, we deliver. We are professional in our approach and are always open to suggestions. We are flexible and helpful in our dealings with our contractors. We work in accordance with the spirit of the agreement and not just the letter.So,these are the sort of things which make us athactive. Nada: The question ofwho will be responsible over offshore structures afterPSCs expire has become a currentconcern among oilproducing countries. How do you see us addressing this? Tan Sri Azizan: The7982 United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides for the removal of disused skuctures. The details are being drafted by the Intemational Maritime Organisation (lMO). The action we wilt be taking in this matter will be based on the findings of IMO. PETRONAS on ib own has initiated a jointPlatformAbandonment Study with our PSC contuactors and some local design consultanb to evaluate the methods and the costs entailed in platform abandonment. The study will provide an overview of platform abandonment scenarios for Malaysia with reference to current worldwide practices, technology and legal framework. The study will form the basis for deciding on the necessary course of action. Nada: Withthe fufure exploration areas lying in deep waters, what steps have or will be taken by PETRONAS to make it attractive for others to explore these blocks? Tan Sri Azizan: PETRONAS has received enquiries from several foreign oil companies regarding exploration in deepwater areas. We are now sfudying these proposals and assessing the current state of exploration and production technology and related costs. Presently, PETRONAS plans to acquire approximately 8,000line-km of newseismic data in the deep water areas so as to obtain a better understanding of the geology and to fully evaluate the hydrocarbon potentials. Once we have a clearer picture off the extent of the hydrocarbon potentials in these deeper waters and the cost of exploring and developing these potentials, taking into consideration the available technology, we will be able to draw up appropriate PSC terms.

Caharan Masa Depan Sempena ulang tahun ke-15 penubuhan PETRONAS, Nada PETRONAS akan menyiarkan urawancara tiga bahagian dengan Presiden Tan Sri Datuk AzizanZainul Abidin. Dalam bahagian pertama ini, Presiden telah mengimbas semula tentang kejayaan yang dicapai oleh PETRONAS' dalam tempoh beberapa tahun ini, cabaran-cabaran masa depan dan perkembangan sektor huluan. Nada: Nada: YB Tan Sri, bulan ini PETRONAS mencapai usia 15 tahun.

Apakah kesan syarat-syarat baru PSC ke atas sumber-sumber ianaelektriknya untuk menggunakan gas. Singapura juga terlibat, hidrokarbon neg.ua? lebagai pembeli gas. Tan Sri Azizan:. Syarat-syarat baru PSC membolehkan pemulangan kos dengan Dengan itu buat masa ini kita menjalankan tugas mengikut jadual lebih cepat ke peringkat maksimum sebanyak 50 peratus bagi minyak projek di samping mempunyai hubungan dengan lain-lain agensi. dan 60 peratus bagi gas berbanding dengan 20 peratus bagi minyak dan 25 peratus bagi gas di bawah PSC tahun 1976. Bahagian keuntungan Setiap projek akan mempunyai berbagai-bagai komponen dan kontraktor juga telah ditingkatkan daripada kadar tetap 30 peratus kepada kadar menurun dari 50 peratus kepada 30 peratus di bawah syarat-syarat baru PSC. Syarat-syarat baru PSC ini telah dapat meningkatkan jumlah syarikat minyak untuk menyertai PSC kita. Setakat ini kita telah menandatangani22PSC baru (tidak termasuk usahasama Delta Baram), tujuh dalam tahun 1987; 10 dalam tahun 1988 dan lima dalam tahun 1989. Kegiatan-kegiatan eksplorasi, terutamanya kegiatan memperolehi data seismiktelah mdningkatsejak itu. Tahun 1988 mencatatkan perolehan data yang tertinggi hingga hari ini dengan kira-kira 69,000 kilometer garisan seismik diperolehi. Penggerudian eksplorasi dalam tahun 7989-7993 dijangka tinggi oleh kerana syarikat-syarikat baru akan memenuhi keperluan minimum seperti yang dikehendaki oleh PSC. Hitung panjang lebih 30 buah telaga setahun dijangka digerudi dalam tempoh itu. Peningkatan kegiatan eksplorasi oleh para kontraktor kita akan membawa kita kepada prospek-prospek baru untuk digerudi dan seterusnya kepada penemuan simpanan-simpanan baru. Penemuan-penemuan baru ini akan menambah dan meningkatkan simpanan kita. Hingga hari ini, ada tiga penemuan baru, iaitu Kinabalu di Sabah, Asam Paya di Sarawak dan Tembikai di Semenanjung Malaysia. Penemuan-penemuan ini adalah oleh kontraktor-kontraktor PSC baru. EPMI juga baru-baru ini menemui telaga minyak, Seligi Utara di blok yang beroperasi di bawah PSC lama. Lebih banyak simpanan dilangka ditemui dengan lebih banyak lagi penggerudian. Syarat-syarat baru itu juga telah mengalirkan lebih banyak pelaburan luar ke negara ini. Para rakan kongsi PSC telah memberikan komitmen untuk melabur sekurang-kurangnya AS$402 juta atau M$1,005 juta bagi peringkat eksplorasi dalam masa lima tahun akan datang. Nada: Adakah perubahan-perubahan yang berlaku dalam industri sama ada di dalam negeri, serantau atau di peringkat antarabangsa sejak tahun 1985 memerlukan kita mengkaji lagi syarat-syarat PSC kita. Jika ya, bolehkah Tan Sri jelaskan tentang perubahan- perubahan ini dan bagaimanakah ia boleh menjejaskan kita dalam perkara bersabit dengan PSC ini? Tan Sri Azizan; Kejatuhan harga minyak mentah pada pertengahan tahun 1980-an telah melembabkan kegiatan ekplorasi dan pembangunan di seluruh dunia. Bagaimanapun, dengan bertambah baiknya harga minyak baru-baru ini telah mula timbul minat dalam kegiatan eksplorasi dan pembangunan. Malaysia telah menikmati faedah daripada perubahan keadaan ini. btaerrikbhagpaei-nbyaigaapianknoymap. oDniesnindilaehnglaentakkengyiaatcaanb-kaeragniat-an penyelarasan para pesertanya. kri memerlukan perancangan dan penyelarasan yang besar lagi rapi.

Hakikat bahawa kita telah menandatangani 22 PSC baru hendaklah diambil sebagai pertianda yang syarat-syarat PSC kita sekarang adalah munasabah dan menarik. Malah ada beberapa buah syarikatyang sedang menimbang untuk mengusahakan blok-blok baru di ku*utun-tu*asan yang belum pemah diterokai' Seperti yang saya katakan sebelum ini, kita sedang mengkaji syarat-syarat PSC kita bagi kawasan-kawasan perairan dalam' Nada: Pelaburan di sektor huluan telah meningkat dengan banyaknya sejak pengurangan pelaburan dalam bidang itu di seluruh dunia pada pertengahan tahun 1980-an. Tahun ini kira-kira M$4,000 juta dijangka dibelanjakan dalam sektor ini. Adakah pada pandangan Tan Sri corak ini akan berkekalan? Tan Sri Azizanl. Dalam masa beberapa tahun akan datang kita akan dapat melihat pelaburan yang berterusan dalam bidang eksplorasi oleh para kontraktor baru. Kegiatan pembangunan, bagaimanapun, bergantung kepada harga minyak mentah. Kecuali berlaku kejatuhan dalam harga minyak, kita dapat menjangkakan pelaburan yang besar dalam bidang ini jika terdapat penemuan-penemuan yang komersial' Ini ialah kerana pelabur tidak hanya melihat harga minyak pada masa ini. Mereka mengambil kira masa depan. Secara umum adalah dirasakan bahawa dunia memerlukan lebih banyak tenaga, dan petroleum akan terus menjadi sumber utama untuknya. Berdasarkan demikian saya optimistik yang pelaburan akan berterusan. Nada: Kini kita ada 32 kontraktor perkongsian pengeluaran (tidak termasuk Carigali) beroperasi di Malaysia. Apakah pada pandangan Tan Srikejayaan kita menarikmerekake sini walaupun syarat-syarat kita dikatakan antara yang terketat? Tan Sri Azizan: Kejayaan kita sebahagiannya disebabkan kedudukan geologi Malaysia yang menarik dan nisbah kejayaan kita adalah tinggi mengikut taraf dunia. PETRONAS juga terkenal oleh kerana kesaksamaannya dan kewajarannya dan syarat-syarat kita termaktub dengan jelas dalam PSC. Sama pentingnya ialah kestabilan politik, iklim pelaburan, dasar-dasar kerajaan yang positi{ dan pendirian tentang pelaburan, infrastruktur yang baik dan lain-lain lagi' Di samping itu kita juga sentiasa mengawasi syarat-syarat yang ditawarkan oleh pihak-pihak lain. Kita sentiasa waspada agar tidak ketinggalan dan kita tidak mahu perkara ini berlaku. Kita akan, kiranya perlu, menawarkan syarat-syarat yang lebih baik. Bagaimanapun, buat masa ini kita merasakan syarat-syarat yang ada sekarang adalah cukup baik- Saya sedar bahawa sesetengah orang menganggap syarat-syarat PSC kita adalah antara yang terketat. Ditinjau sebagai satu pakej, iaitu syarat-syarat PSC dengan iklim pekerjaan dan pemiagaan, para kontaktor mendapat sahr tawaran yang baik. Kejayaan kita untuk menarik dan mempunyai begitu banyak PSC adalah buktinya. Harus juga diperhatikan bahawa untuk para kontuaktor ada beberapa perkara lagi yang perlu dipertimbangkan selain daripada syarat-syarat PSC. Kemudahan untuk menjalankan tugas adalah satu daripadanya. Sistem pentadbiran kita yang teratur. Kita tidak mengubah-ubah peraturan separuh lalan. Jika kita mehjanjikan sesuatu kita akan tunaikan. Kita profesional dalam kaedah kita dan sentiasa menerima cadangan. Kita boleh bertolak ansur dan sedia membantu para kontraktor kita. Kita bekerja selaras dengan semangat perjanjian dan tidak terlalu tertumpu kepada huruf-huruf yang terkandung di dalamnya. Jadi, inilah perkara-perkara yang rnenjadikan kita menarik' 10

Terminal minyak mentah Terengganu di mana minyak mentah disimpan untuk dieksport Nada: Soal siapa yang akan bertanggungiawab terhadap strukfur-strukfur binaan di luar pantai selepas tamat tempoh PSC kini menjadi kebimbangan dan perhatian kalangan negara-negara pengeluar minyak. Bagaimanakah cara kita mengatasi masalah ini? Tan Sri Azizan: Persidangan Undang-Undang Laut Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu (UNCLOS) pada tahun 1982 memperuntukkan tentang pembuangan shuktur-struktur yang tidak lagi digunakan. Butir-butir terperincinya sedang dirangka oleh Pertubuhan Samudera Antarabangsa (lMO). Tindakan yang akan kita ambil dalam perkara ini akan didasarkan kepada perakuan IMO. Sebagai langkah kita sendiri PETRONAS telah memulakan Kajian Peninggalan Pelantar dengan para kontraktor PSCnya dan beberapa juruperunding rekabentuk tempatan untuk menilai kaedah dan kos yang terlibat dalam peninggalan pelantar. Kajian itu akan memberikan garis panduan tentang peninggalan pelantar bagi Malaysia selari dengan amalan-amalan di seluruh dunia sekarang, teknologi dan dari segi undang-undang. Kajian itu akan dijadikan asas bagi kepuhrsan tentang tindakan yang harus diambil. Nada: Dengan kawasan-kawasan eksplorasi masa depan terletak di kawasan perairan dalam, apakah langkahJangkah yang telah atau akan kita ambil bagi menjadikannya menarik untuk diterokai oleh lain-lain pihak? Tan Sri Azizan: PETRONAS telah menerima pertanyaan dari beberapa buah syarikat minyak asing berhubung dengan kegiatan eksplorasi di kawasan-kawasan perairan dalam. Kita sekarang sedang mengkaji syor-syor ini dan menilai teknologi eksplorasi dan pengeluaran semasa dan kos yang berkaitan dengannya. Buat masa ini, PETRONAS bercadang untuk mendapatkan kira-kira 8,000 kilometer garisan data seismik di kawasan-kawasan air dalam bagi memahami lebih lagi tentang geologi dan menilai sepenuhnya tentang potensi hidrokarbon di kawasan-kawasan itu. Setelah kita mendapat gambaran yang jelas tentang potensi hidrokarbon di kawasan-kawasan perairan dalam ini dan juga kos mengusahasil dan membangunkan potensi-potensi ini dengan mengambil kira teknologi yang ada, kita akan dapat merangka syarat-syarat PSC yang agak wajar. 11

The PSC for Block SK 8 brings to 23 the number of such contract signed by PETRO- NAS since the inhoduction of new terms to the PSC in late 1985. In all PETRONAS now has 27 Production Sharing Contracts involving 32 contractors in operation. Geologically SK 8 is situated within the Central Luconia Province, a proven petro- leum bearing area. It is adjacent to Occiden- tal's Block SK 6 and covers an area of some 16,000 square kilometres. Occidental Petroleum (Malaysia) Limited is a subsidiary of Occidental Petro- leum Corporation, a United States-based intemational corporation with interests in oil, gas development, natural gas transmission, chemicals, agribusiness and coal. Underthe PSC, Occidental willspend a minimum US$50 million for the drilling of eightwildcatwells, two of which are in water depths exceeding 110 metres; acquire and process 12,000 line kilometres of 2D Seis- mic data and 16,000 line kilometres of 3D seismic data and to reprocess 2,000 line kilo- metres of the exisiting seismic data. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Tan Sri Azizan said with the new PSC, Occiden- tal's involvement in Malaysia now covers an area of about 29,000 square kilometres. He said that Occidental has about 60 years experience in the petroleum industry and is known for its success and innovative- ness.
