Kabupaten Muara Enim is one of the
areas that most of its area is located in southern Sumatra basin,
this resulted in high content of hydrocarbons in the area.
The deposit of mineral resources and geothermal, Mining and
Energy services of Kabupaten Muara Enim predicts that Oil has a
potential deposit are 252.397,06 MSTB and 12.477,07 BSCF for natural
gas deposit. From the results of lifting crude oil and natural gas
are still in production, Kabupaten Muara Enim makes oil and gas
became one of the mainstays in increasing revenue (Pendapatan
Asli Daerah). However, Kabupaten Muara Enim local government is
not satisfied with the amount of revenue that comes from sharing
lifting of petroleum and natural gas. Therefore, the Government of
the Kabupaten Muara Enim business plans for petroleum and natural
gas. The government regulation 32 of 2004 about Regional Government,
the Authority to carry out oil and gas activities of local
government lies only in the downstream business. So that
Kabupaten Enim Muara Government will utilize sharing lifting
petroleum and natural gas for new business.
Kabupaten Enim Muara is one of the
districts producing oil and natural gas in Indonesia, but in recent
years a decline in lifting in the area which resulted in reduced
revenue sharing from oil and gas sector gained Enim Muara District.
In the calculation of revenue
sharing, there was a significant decline in 2010 that only
about 50% from 2009, while the sharing of natural gas, District of
Muara Enim get an increase, and dipresiksi will continue to
increase. Because of this, Kabupaten Enim Muara plans to
increase revenue by utilizing the distribution of natural gas
lifting results. One of the businesses that will be entered by the
Kabupaten Muara Enim is the construction of gas power plants.
Before running the gas power plant project, Kabupaten Enim
Muara will conduct an analysis of the distribution of natural gas
they will get, after which it will be converted into the amount of
generating capacity that can be built. After that, it can be seen the
amount of generating capacity that can be built, then the
authors can calculate the amount of the costs incurred, and
the price of electricity to be sold to PLN, because electricity
prices are calculated based on the costs incurred by an electric
generator.
From the data that has been
calculated, the authors could analyze the feasibility of a
gas power plant for Development of these. From the
feasibility study analysis conducted, it can be concluded
that the construction of gas power plants is feasible to run, it can
be seen from a positive NPV (USD 15,175,775), the IRR exceeds the
cost of capital (13.12%), more than one PI (1.23), and also
the project payback is relatively fast through 6.25 years.
