Jakarta –
Legal certainty is important for investments in the oil and gas (oil and gas) sector. However, legal certainty still raises problems.
One of them is related to SKK Migas. The existence of SKK Migas is questioned by investors.
The director general of oil and gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Tutuka Ariadji, said that large US (US) companies planning to invest in Indonesia have questioned what SKK Migas is.
“It is true that the President Mr. Dony said that American big companies would unconventionally invest in Indonesia in PHR in Rokan. The first question is, what is SKK Migas, what is the special task force? Is it a great question, sir,” he said at a hearing. Opinion with Commission VII, Tuesday (13/12/2022).
He himself admitted that he was surprised. This is because the establishment itself is questionable.
“If big companies want to invest in Indonesia, the institutions themselves are asked, I’m also surprised,” he said.
He hoped it would be fixed soon. He stressed that legal certainty is very important to support oil and gas investment in the country.
“So you may need to ask immediately for it to be resolved in the future so that it becomes firm and very important legal certainty going forward,” he said.
