INTRODUCTION Upstream Oil and Gas Industry, managed in the form of Production Sharing Contracts, while the rationale for oil and gas management in Indonesia has actually been designed for a long time. The idea of the Production Sharing Contract was sparked by Bung Karno, who was inspired by the practices that apply in the management of agriculture in Java, where most farmers (Marhae. are not owners of rice fields. Farmers get their income from profit sharing . , while management is in the hands of their owners. Available Online: https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Page 1023 Volume 1. Issue 6. January 2021 E-ISSN : 2721-303X. P-ISSN : 2721-3021 In the Production Sharing Contract (PSC), management is in the hands of the government, the contractor as the operator which has an obligation every time he wants to develop the field he must submit a POD (Plan of Developmen. or development planning. WP&B (Work Program and Budge. or work program and funding and AFE (Authorization for Expenditur. or expenditure authorization so that expenses can be controlled. The PSC began in Indonesia in 1966 between Pertamina and IIAPCO, and similar contracts were made in Peru 1971. Then many countries adopted them including oil exporting countries: Indonesia. Egypt. Malaysia. Syria. Oman. Angola. Gabon. Libya. Qatar. China. Algeria and Tunisia. The success of this formula is because in developing countries there is an economic transition due to several interests including contractual relations . il companies are no longer direct holders of mining right. and the concept of prod uction sharing, in addition to greater state power over activities oil companies, as service providers or contractors. The state or state company as the holder of mining and oil companies . hich lend or fund the capital neede. has the technical capability and sources of funds so that the operator will still have the largest share of production. Because this revenue sharing is from this divided production, it can be seen in the annual report and not in total reserves. The contractor is responsible for financing and carrying out operations and obtaining cost recovery and profits if commercial inventions are developed. Cost recovery differs between countries even within a country depending on the agreement when the contract was signed. In a production sharing contract, the contractor is entitled to receive a refund for as long as it does not exceed a certain percentage of annual production in the contract area. This proportion is known as cost oil. Shortages which have not yet been obtained are carried forward for recovery in the following year. The following year, with the same principle, cost oil is valued using the market price of crude oil before it is compared with recoverable cost. The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. Ignasius Jonan explained "Give the example of Chevron in Riau in the Rokan. Minas, and Duri WK (Working Are. For the outcomes the country can reach 90%. Chevron can be 10%, but after deducting the costs. Why not, "said Jonan in Minas Field. PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia. Siak Regency. Riau. Saturday . etikFinance 12/18/2. According to Jonan, the state often has to bear the burden of cost recovery which is often inflated, which makes the state's oil ration end up shrinking drastically. In fact, the high cost recovery is often also caused by inefficiency. In Indonesia since the enactment of Law No. 8 of 1971, known as Production Sharing Contract (PSC), in which revenue received by oil and gas companies is not directly the result of product multiplication with price. Because basically these companies do not have oil, and they get fees which include cost recovery and contractor share of profit oil. In some PSCs, the cost of capital is depreciated and the amount of depreciation can be returned or taken from Revenue after reducing recoverable cost is called profit oil which must be shared between the government and the contractor. The company gets a fee as compensation for oil and gas business that is from cost recovery and split of profit oil while the government will Available Online: https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Page 1024 Volume 1.

Revenue Flow Based on PSC In the example assumed in the distribution of products, gross revenue amounts to 1,000 barrels with a cost recovery of 250 barrels. At the point of revenue received by the company is 1,000 barrels. Net of income available for the government and companies is 750 Assuming the division between the government and the company is 80:20, the government will get 600 barrels of crude oil and the company will get 150 barrels of crude If the distribution is assumed to be in nominal financial amounts, then gross revenue is $ 100 million with a cost recovery of $ 25 million. That is, at the point of revenue received by the company is US $100 million. Net of income available for the government and companies is USD $75 million. Assuming the division between the government and the company is 80:20, the government will get US $ 60 million and the company USD $15 This study aims to find out and get an in-depth picture of the components that make up Cost Recovery in the Oil and Gas industry in Indonesia. In addition to examining the components in cost recovery, this study also aims to explain the mechanism of cost recovery, authorization and billing of cost recovery to the Government.

Issue 6. January 2021 E-ISSN : 2721-303X. P-ISSN : 2721-3021 The company appointed to carry out the government policy is the National Oil and Gas Mining Company (PN Pertamin. According to Law Number 8 of 1971. Pertamina is responsible for managing Indonesia's oil and gas resources in all related aspects such as exploration, exploitation, production, processing, transportation and sales of oil and gas. Industry in general is a certain business group that has the same techniques and methods in generating profits. Petroleum (English: petroleum, from Latin petrus-coral and petroleum-oi. , also known as black gold, is the result of a natural process in the form of hydrocarbons under atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions in the form of a liquid or solid phase, including asphalt, mineral wax or ozokerite, and bitumen obtained from the process of mining Oil and Gas (Act Number 22 of 2. The oil and gas industry is different from other industries in general, both in terms of characteristics, the regulations that govern it and the accounting treatment therein. The oil and gas industry has special regulations created to regulate the practices and activities of the In Indonesia, this regulation is stipulated in, among others. Law Number 22 of 2001 concerning oil and gas explaining the definition, activities and procedures for oil and gas industry practices in Indonesia, and most recently PP Number 79 of 2010 which contains additional regulations regarding the cost recovery component in the production sharing contract in the oil and gas industry. It was not previously regulated in Law Number 22 of Production Sharing Contract Since the enactment of Law Number 8 of 1971, a new era of petroleum and natural gas management has become known as a new form of cooperation, where Pertamina can work with other parties, while the forms of cooperation include: Contract of work, in this contract the distribution is based on profits, while management and ownership of assets are in the hands of the contractor. Production sharing, management and asset ownership contracts are in the hands of Pertamina, which is divided into production after deducting operating costs. After Law Number 22/2001, all arrangements and forms of agreements in the upstream oil and gas industry have changed drastically. Pertamina's authority has been cut. The authority in the upstream sector is handed over to the Oil and Gas Implementing Agency (BP MIGAS) while in the downstream is handed over to the Regulatory Agency (Legal Review No. 35 / TH i August 2005, . The soul of the provisions of the Articles of Production Sharing Contract / Cooperation Contract can be seen from the scope of the existing contract, consisting of five main paragraphs, namely: Paragraph 1 This contract is a production sharing contract. Paragraph 2 SKK MIGAS will have rights and responsibilities for operations management, and the contractor is responsible for oil and gas operations. Paragraph 3 The contractor provides all financing and technical assistance. Paragraph 4 The contractor bears the risk of operating costs and interest costs incurred to finance operations.

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 Paragraph 5 Throughout the agreement in the contract, the total production is divided into Regarding profit sharing in the PSC (Production Sharing Contrac. it is a matter that is always being negotiated. For Indonesia, it still adheres to the law, that in making contracts, it must always prioritize the interests of the nation. (Ernst G. Tehuteru. Legal Review No. TH i August 2005, . Looking at the development of the contract of work model as well as the production sharing contract or cooperation contract, the dominance of foreign parties or the influence of investors is very thick, even for the first generation contract the concept is made by the company's legal experts concerned. In order to make this cooperation contract attractive to foreign investors, various ways are carried out by the government by providing incentives. So that this incentive does not reduce and guarantee government revenue, the contractual obligation includes the contractor's obligation to deliver his first production, known as First Tranch Petroleum (FTP) and so that the supply of oil and gas for domestic needs is guaranteed, a regulation known as the Domestic Market Obligation . In the upstream oil and gas industry, this fiscal system is more emphasized and becomes an inseparable part of the contract as stated by Johnston. 3: . It is a clear tendency . in the 1980s and 1990s. Many countries are developing fiscal systems for oil and gas by taking the option to use Production Sharing Contracts (PSC. What is certain is that the lower limit is the same as the royalty / tax system, depending on the aggregate level of royalties, taxes and business continuity. Political and philosophical aspects are included, however, profits will always be the main choice of Production Sharing Contracts (PSC. The government sees the use of the fiscal system in a macroeconomic emphasis in which the profits from the upstream oil and gas industry are immediately recognized as state revenue, while the company sees this fiscal system from the opportunities given to companies in order to generate maximum profits. Cost Recovery Operating cost recovery is introduced in a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) since the first generation towards the mid 1960. Until now, the implementation, application and method of calculating the cost recovery has reached the third generation and will still develop according to the conditions. Cost recovery is the return of costs incurred by the contractor for the purposes of exploration, development and operating costs beyond gross income. Most production sharing contracts have limits on the amount of contractor income recognized to get a refund but not all costs can be requested for repayment, such as last year's funding and refunded in the event The limitation of cost recovery or the limit of the refund limit as commonly known ranges from 30% - 60%. (Johnston. , 1996: . In petroleum operations generally there are cost controllable costs in administering administration, while uncontrollable costs include efforts to find additional reserves through exploration and development activities and the addition of production facilities.

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 Cost recovery in the calculation of equity to be split between the government and the contractor has a very significant effect. The greater the refund of costs that can be requested by the contractor back to the government, the smaller the state revenue. Te cost recovery path in the upstream oil and gas industry in Indonesia can be described as follows: Figure 2. Flow Cost Recovery in Product Sharing Contract Previous Research Based on the research, it turns out that the production sharing contract still provides benefits above the fairness of the contractor and the way to calculate the cost. It is still not in accordance with general accounting principles. (Sutadi, 1. Sitorus.

This research is trying to prove that the extractive sector of the economy, government or private, is very closed, especially when it comes to income gained from PSC (Production Sharing Contract. The origins of oil and gas income realization numbers are barely traceable in the national budget (APBN) If one intends to trace the details of income the calculation is then said to be connected to "cost recovery". Daniel Johnston, . , science of petroleum engineering is always one step ahead in analysis and design compared to other sciences. One of its key aspects that is never left out is its standard terminology with the fiscal analysis system. Sometimes people use the term "Shared Fund" to identify income components not profit. The government often loses information during a period of exploration and the focus of calculation then shifts to Internal Rate of Return.

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 production sharing contracts for many countries, the most staggering problem lies in the articles of the contracts, and until a contract is agreed upon by all parties, the contract must be first reviewed by an accountant or a group of accountants or a consultant to protect the economic interests of the country whose oil and gas belongs to. RESEARCH METHODS The research method that will be used in this study is a qualitative research method with a descriptive analytical approach based on case studies. Qualitative methodology according to Bodgan and Taylor . is defined as a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people and observable behavior. This approach is directed at these settings and individuals. So, in this case it should not isolate individuals or organizations into variables or hypotheses but look at them in part. line with this definition. Krik and Miler . in Moleong . define that qualitative research is: "certain traditions in social science that fundamentally depend on human observations in their own region and relate to these people in their language and in So, a qualitative method is a research procedure that produces descriptive data in the form of written or oral words from people and behavior that can be observed and supported by literature studies or literature studies based on the deepening of literature review in the form of data and numbers so that reality can be understood well (Moleong, 2. While the case study approach is in-depth research on a particular case whose results are a complete and organized picture of the research (I Made Wirartha, 2. Qualitative research is descriptive because the data analysis is done not to accept or reject hypotheses . f an. , but in the form of descriptions of observed symptoms, which are not always in the form of numbers or coefficients between variables. However, the emphasis is not on hypothesis testing, but on efforts to answer research questions through formal and argumentative ways. Description of the conditions of research respondents can be seen in the results of descriptive analysis in the form of frequency tables and descriptive statistics including minimum values, maximum values, average values and standard deviation.

Discussion Indonesian Upstream Oil & Gas Industry The oil and gas industry, both in Indonesia and globally, has experienced significant volatility in the last five years. Global geopolitical and economic considerations play a significant role in driving the sensitivity of oil prices. Records show that from its peak in mid-2008 (US$ 145 per barre. , the oil price collapsed by more than 70% and ended 2008 at US$ 40 per barrel following the global financial crisis. As market confidence returned, buoyed by confidence in growth in China and other emerging markets, crude prices rose again to an average . n an annual basi. of approximately US$ 94-98 a barrel of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) from 2011 to 2014. com/id Oil and Gas in Indonesia Investment and Taxation Guide.

Such a declaration would help to provide an overall framework for sector reform and assurance to all stakeholders in the sector. Production Sharing Contract The Study reviewed the issue of whether the PSCs between the Government and private oil companies are appropriate, both with respect to the type of the contract and their actual provisions. With respect to the type of contract, the basic principle of the PSC is appropriate and should be retained. Further, the fiscal and non-financial terms of Indonesian PSCs are not out of line compared to PSCs in other countries. Nevertheless, some of the provisions of the fiscal regime are not sufficiently progressive, particularly under conditions of low oil prices. Consequently, some re-designing of these provisions should be considered with a view to achieve higher total investment by the private sector, and higher overall State revenue in the medium and long term. Over 90% of Indonesia's oil and gas is produced by the private sector, mostly major international oil and gas companies, and virtually all are governed by production sharing contracts (PSC. One issue is whether the PSCs between the Government and private oil companies are appropriate, both with respect to the type of the contract and their actual With respect to the type of contract, the PSC, which is the most prevalent "Cooperation Agreement" between the Government . Pertamin. and private oil companies, is a tried and tested vehicle for upstream investment that can deliver most of the Government's objectives effectively. And in reality, the same Government objectives and economic outcomes can be achieved with either the PSC model . rimarily pioneered by Indonesi. , or the principal altemative . hich is a fiscal-based regime where the Government looks to royalties and taxes as the means of taking the national share of the profit. , or some combination of the two. Hence, we consider the basic principle of the PSC to be appropriate and should be retained. It is the substance of the fiscal terms that matter. Both structures can be conducive to efficient regulation of the sector and Government revenue collection, provided these functions are properly allocated. The Government's overall objective in the upstream, and thus from the PSC model, should be to ensure the development and extraction of the hydrocarbon resources to maximize the contribution of the sector to the national economy and to maximize the generation of revenue. Specific objectives should include: encouraging a high rate of upstream investment by the private sector, particularly now that worldwide investment levels are being curtailed and capital inflows into Indonesia are badly needed for oil and gas. developing an optimum fiscal regime such that incentives to explore for and develop hydrocarbons are retained for fields with low profitability, but ensuring that the State is paid a progressively increasing share of life-of-field profits once the private investor has earned a reasonable return on investment . n particular, to retain investment incentives at Available Online: https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Page 1038 Volume 1.

PSCs have been the most common type of JCCs used in IndonesiaAos upstream sector. Under a . PSC, the Government and the Contractor agree to take a split ofthe production, measured in terms of revenue, based on PSC-agreed percentages. Operating costs are recovered from production through Contractor cost oil formulas as defined by the PSC, and the Contractor has the right to take and separately dispose of its share of oil and gas . ith title to the hydrocarbons passing at the point of export or deliver. PSCs have evolved through five AugenerationsAy with the main variations on the production sharing split. The second and third generation PSCs issued after 1976 removed the earlier cost recovery cap of 40% of revenue and confirmed an after tax oil equity split of 85/15 for SKK Migas and the Contractor, respectively. The third generation model of the late 1980s introduced First Tranche Petroleum (FTP) and offered incentives for frontier, marginal and deep-sea areas.

(PWC 2018. Cost Recovery Cost Recovery varies between countries even within a country depending on the agreement when the contract was signed. In a production sharing contract, the contractor is entitled to receive a refund for as long as it does not exceed a certain percentage of annual production in the contract area. This proportion is known as cost oil. Shortages that have not been obtained are carried forward for recovery in the year. The following year, with the same principle, cost oil is valued using the market price of crude oil before it is compared with recoverable cost.

Cost stop prices affect the economy, the greater the better the return on Cost Recovery is the means by which the contractor recoups the costs of exploration, development, and operations out of gross revenues. Most PSC's have a limit to the amount of revenues the contractor may claim for cost recovery but will allow unrecovered costs to be carried forward and recovered in succeeding years. Cost recovery is an ancient concept. The cost recovery mechanism is one of the most common features of a PSC. It is only slightly different than the cost recovery techniques used in most concessionary systems. Sometimes the hierarchy of cost recovery can make a difference in cash flow This is particularly the case if certain cost recovery items are taxable. Cost recovery or cost oil normally includes the following items listed in the order: Unrecovered costs carried over from previous years. Operating Cost Expensed Capital Cost Current Year DD&A Interest on Financing . sually with limitation. Investment credit . Cost recovery fund recovery Unrecovered Carried Forward Costs Most Unrecovered costs are carried forward and are available for recovery in subsequent periods. The same is true of unused deductions. The term sunk cost is applied to past costs that have not been recovered. There are four classes of sunk cost: Carried Forward Tax Loss (TLCF) Unrecovered Depreciation Balance Unrecovered Amortization Balance Carried Forward Cost Recovery. Cruel & Unusual Low End Typical Upper End Rare 2 More Rare No Examples in this author's experience Cost Recovery limits of 40 % - 60 % probably encompass over of the fiscal systems that have a limit. Indonesia had no limit on cost recovery for many years and now with the 20 % "First Trance Petroleum" has the equivalent of an 80 % cost recovery limit. Concessionary systems usually have no limit on cost recovery. Available Online: https://dinastipub. org/DIJEFA Page 1040 Volume 1. Issue 6. January 2021 E-ISSN : 2721-303X.

The first generation contract of the 1960s had a 40% limit. The second generation contract after 1976 does not meet the cost recovery limits. The elements that make up cost recovery are usually recovered on a first -in, first-out Every expense made from the previous years is recovered first.

Other principles have been developed over time via SKK Migas / BP Migas / Pertamina and Indonesian Tax Office (ITO) regulations. For example, oil-generating PSC Contractors generally obtain an after-tax equity share of 15%. However, the DMO must be out of this "equity" oil or gas. A Contractor therefore typically earns a return of less than This is because there is no cost recovery or tax deductibility for the unsuccessful "fields" and because of the DMO requirements.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Indonesian Upstream Oil & Gas Industry Fiscal provisions in the upstream oil and gas industry will revolve around the tax / royalty system and production sharing contract. Fiscal meaning is the regulatory provisions regarding the division of income between the state as the land owner and the company or contractor of the cooperation contract. In accordance with the current agreement, the amount of government revenue ranges from 30% to 90%. For investors, fiscal provisions have a major influence on the economic level of exploration and production activities, because the principles of exploration and exploitation agreements are commitments in the determination of rights and obligations as well as ways of sharing income between investors and landowners. This provision is often used by the government to control the rate of exploration activities. In the upstream oil and gas industry, this fiscal policy is more emphasized and becomes an inseparable part of the contract as expressed by Johnston Daniel, . 3: . obvious trend in the 1980s and 1990s. many countries develop petroleum fiscal systems by adopting the option of using a Production Sharing Contract (PSC). To be sure the baseline is the same as the R / T system, depending on the aggregate level of royalties, taxes and Political and philosophical aspects are included, however, profits will always be the main choice of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC).

P-ISSN : 2721-3021 This difference in perspective on fiscal policy, between the government's point of view, has emphasized the macroeconomic emphasis, while the upstream oil and gas industry places more emphasis on managing fiscal policy from a microeconomic perspective.

The proposed system design is based on the assumption that the government has a strong enough power in the government or ministry that has enough authority to build the system in such a way through negotiations in connection with and recognition of terminology and respect for contracts. Production Sharing Contract The basic principles of the model PSCs should be retained, but for new PSCs: . the rate of First Tranche Petroleum, or the proportion accruing to Government under the standard contract, should be reviewed with a view to reducing it, particularly for high cost fields and under conditions of low oil prices. contractors should receive the world price for any supply they provide to the domestic market in the period before the domestic market and refineries are liberalized. the investment credit should be applied more equally, extended to all areas, and the rate and mechanism applicable should be reconsidered to enhance the attractiveness of fiscal regime. the State profit oil/gas share should be linked directly to a measure of achieved cash flow. Only if mutually agreed with the contractor, should the Government renegotiate the terms of existing PSCs along the lines recommended above for new PSCs.

Permanent Business Entity is a business entity established and incorporated outside the legal entity the territory of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia that conducts activities in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and is obliged to comply with the applicable laws and regulations in the Republic of Indonesia. Cooperation Contracts are production sharing contracts or other forms of cooperation contracts in exploration and exploitation activities that benefit the State and the results are used to the greatest extent for the prosperity of the people.

Contractors of Cooperation Contracts have an interest that supervision and control efforts are carried out as efficiently as possible and bring added value to the conduct of business activities so that both profits for the government and shareholders can be jointly Cooperation Contract Contractors also have an interest that their activities in Indonesia meet international standards in the oil industry. Cost Recovery Cost recovery is the reimbursement of costs incurred by the contractor for the purposes of exploration, development and operating costs beyond gross income. Most Production Sharing Contracts have a limit on the amount of contractor income recognized to get a refund but not all costs can be requested for repayment for last year's financing and returned in the event year. The limitation of cost recovery or the limit of the refund limit as commonly known ranges from 30% - 60%. (Johnston Daniel 1996: . Cost recovery was introduced in the Production Sharing Contract (PSH) since the First Generation towards the mid 1960s. Until now, the implementation, application and method of calculating the cost recovery has reached the third generation and will still develop according to the conditions.

All of these changes are aimed at improving the condition of state revenues so that they can follow the pattern of rising crude oil prices on the international market. Based on research, it turns out that this Production Sharing Contract still provides benefits above the fairness of the contractor and the way of calculating the cost is also still not in accordance with general accounting principles (Sutadi, 1. CONCLUSION AND SUGESTION In the upstream oil and gas industry, this fiscal policy is more emphasized and becomes an inseparable part of the contract as expressed by Johnston Daniel, . An obvious tendency in the 1980s and 1990s. Production sharing contracts where production is divided based on a certain percentage agreed upon. The contract between SKK Migas and the Contractor is used as the basis for Oil and Gas Exploration and Exploitation activities in a Work Area. Production Sharing Contract (PSC), which requires contractors to provide investment, skills and technology to work on oil and gas working areas. When the area is in production, the state and the contractor will share profits after the state revenue is reduced by a number of deduction factors, including a return on operating costs or cost recovery. So, cost recovery is an investment without which upstream oil and gas business activities might not be able to run and generate state revenue. Cost Recovery exists because the state needs bailout funds to run this business. This bailout also protects the country from exploration risks, because cost recovery will only be carried out if commercial reserves are found. What distinguishes the cost recovery of the PSC from other contract systems, especially the concession system, is that in the PSC, the company must first obtain approval from the authorized government to be able to obtain the return of the operating costs. That is, in the cost recovery system in the PSC, government supervision is much tighter compared to the concession system. https://ekonomi. com/read/2014 The fiscal system for production sharing contracts / cooperation contracts has an effect on cost recovery, which is the better order in the sub-variable accounting methods, the oil and gas work contract model and the management of the upstream oil and gas sector in the fiscal system for production sharing contracts / cooperation contracts then the cost recovery system will be controlled or can be controlled properly, which in turn will increase state revenue from the oil and gas sector through oil and gas revenue sharing. Cost recovery influences PNBP, because the more controlled the cost recovery is, the more revenue the country receives. This situation can occur if the contractor of the cooperation contract and the upstream oil and gas management body has worked efficiently and effectively, where the cost recovery can be reduced in such a way that the allocation of oil and gas revenue sharing for the country becomes larger . hich is divided into production after costs are incurre. The amount of production in the part of the country will directly affect the profit sharing funds. RECOMMENDATIONS The cost refund requested by the contractor for a cooperation contract must have a maximum limit of up to 50%. There must be courage from the government to implement strict sanctions on cooperation contract contractors who violate the provisions of cost recovery.
