Oil and gas industry in Indonesia has a very long history traced back to the 1800’s when the first commercialization in Northern and Southern part of Sumatra Island conducted by a Dutch entrepreneur, A.J. Zijlker. Along the way, more oilfield discoveries and industrialization occurred and performed by multinational corporations in a concession business model attached to one specific oilfield block division determined by the country. in 1965, the government changed the concession business model to what currently known as Production Sharing Contract (PSC). Each PSC will have a duration of time and at the end of that period, based on the Energy and Mineral Resource Ministry of Indonesia regulations, the government will either: (1) Extend the block management to the same company, (2) Handover to Pertamina, a state-owned company, or (3) Contractor and Pertamina Joint operations. Koala block PSC was awarded to PT. American Oil Company (PT. AOC) in 1971 with 30 years of contract duration and then extended in 1992 until 8 th August 2021 for another 20 years. in 2018, the government has decided that the block operation will be handed over to Pertamina as a State-owned corporation. In this case, Pertamina corporation as the parent company then formed their new subsidiary of PT. Indo Oil Company (PT. IOC) to operate the block. Koala block contributes significantly 25% of the total national oil production. Thus, the government expect a seamless and no disruptions during the transition period in a safe, smooth, and reliable manner. This including Drilling and Completion activities with its 24/7 rig operations supporting the backbone of company’s production. Knowledge transfer process in D&C Department will play significant roles in order to support the goals. The intercompany knowledge transfer process proposal for D&C Department in this research is based on a “modified” knowledge transfer model from the Liyanage study (2014) consist of six following steps: awareness, acquisition, translation, association, application, and externalization/feedback. The first three steps will be performed by PT. AOC prior to the handover date. On the other side, the last remaining three steps of association, application, and externalization will be performed by PT. IOC and will be the main focus for this research. Integration of three Knowledge Management (KM) pillars of People, Process, and Technology (Chan, 2016), as well as SECI model (Nonaka, 1994) also being introduced “seamlessly” into the application steps of the Liyanage model (2014) to enrich the content of the research. An implementation plan of the process is available in the last chapter of this research and serves as a general time perspective guideline for the whole intercompany knowledge transfer process. The goal is to provide a knowledge transfer business solution for D&C Department in supporting a seamless transition process during an oilfield block transition period.
