Accounting
Methods To Be Used To Calculate



 


Recovery
Of Operating Costs


 


		3.1.	DEPRECIATION



 


Depreciation
will be calculated beginning the Calendar Year in which the asset is placed into service with a full year’s depreciation allowed
the initial Calendar Year. The method used to calculate each Year’s allowable Recovery of Capital Costs is the declining
balance depreciation method. Calculation of each such Year’s allowable recovery of Capital Costs should be based on the individual
asset’s Capital Costs at the beginning of such Year multiplied by the depreciation factor as follows, for:


 


-   Group1
=50%


-   Group2
=25%


 


For
the Groups of capital assets for any Crude Oil projects and/or Natural Gas projects apply useful lives as follows:


 


	GROUP 1 :	 	 
	 	 	 
	Automobile	1.5	years
	Trucks-light (13,000 pounds or less) and tractor units	2	years
	Trucks-heavy (more than 13,000 pounds)	3	years
	Busses	4.5	years
	Aircraft	3	years
	Construction Equipment	3	years
	Furniture and Office Equipment	5	years
	 	 	 
	GROUP 2:	 	 
	 	 	 
	Construction utilities and auxiliaries	5	years
	Construction housing and welfare	10	years
	Production facilities	5	years
	Railroad cars and locomotives	7.5	years
	Vessels, barges, tugs and similar water transportation equipment	9	years
	Drilling and production tools, equipment and instrument	5	years


 


Balance
of unrecovered Capital Costs is eligible for full depreciation at the end of the individual asset’s useful life.


 


The
undepreciated balance of assets taken out of services will not be charged to Operating Costs but will continue depreciating based
upon lives describe above, except where such assets have been subjected to unanticipated destruction, for example, by fire or accident.

    CONTRACT AREA : KRUH


    

  


		3.2.	OVERHEAD
ALLOCATION



 


General
and administrative costs, other than direct charges, allocable to this operation should be determined by a detailed study, and
the method determined by such study should be applied each Year consistently. The method selected must be approved by PERTAMINA,
and such approval can be reviewed periodically by PERTAMINA and CONTRACTOR.


 


		3.3.	INTEREST
RECOVERY



 


Interest
on loans obtained by CONTRACTOR from Affiliates or parent companies or from third party non-affiliates at rates not exceeding
prevailing commercial rates for capital investments in Petroleum Operations may be recoverable as Operating Costs. Details of any
financing plan and amounts must be included in each year’s Budget of Operating Costs for the prior approval of PERTAMINA.
All other financing must also be approved by PERTAMINA.


 


		3.4.	GAS
COSTS



 


Operating
Costs directly associated with the production of Natural Gas will be directly chargeable against Natural Gas revenues in determining
entitlements under Section V clause 5.2.2. Operating Costs incurred for production of both Natural Gas and Crude Oil will be allocated
to Natural Gas and Crude Oil based on the relative value of the products produced for the current Year. Common support costs will
be allocated on an equitable basis agreed to by both parties.


 


If
after commencement of production the Natural Gas revenues do not permit full recovery of Natural Gas costs, as outlined above,
then the excess costs shall be recovered from Crude Oil revenues.


 


Likewise,
if excess Crude Oil costs (Crude Oil costs less Crude Oil revenues) exists, this excess can be recovered from Natural Gas revenues.


 


If
production of either Natural Gas or Crude Oil has commenced while the other has not, the allocable production costs and common
support costs will be allocated in an equitable manner. Propane and butane fractions extracted from Natural Gas but not spiked
in Crude Oil shall be deemed as Natural Gas for the purpose of accounting.


 


		3.5.	INVENTORY
ACCOUNTING



 


The
costs of non-capital items purchased for inventory will be recoverable at such time the items have landed in Indonesia.
