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 cost at the beginning of such Year multiplied by the depreciation factor as follows, for:

 

-   Group 1 = 50%

-   Group 2 = 25%

Automobile 1.5 Years
Truck-light (13,000 pounds or less) and tractor units 2 Years
Trucks-heavy (more than 13,000 pounds) 3 Years
Buses 4.5 Years
Aircraft 3 Years
Construction equipment 3 Years
Furniture and office 5 Years
equipment  
   
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
Vessel, barges, tugs and similar water transportation equipment 9 Years
Drilling and production tools, equipment and Instruments 5 Years

 

 76 

 

 

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

 

3.2 Inventory Accounting

 

The costs of non-capital items purchased for inventory will be recoverable if such inventory already exists in Indonesia.

 

3.3 Gas Costs

 

Operating Costs directly associated with the production of Natural Gas will be directly chargeable against Natural Gas revenues in determining share under paragraph 5.2.3 of SECTION V of the Agreement.

Common support costs will be allocated on an equitable basis agreed.

 

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.

 

 77 

 

 

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.

The fund of such abandonment and site restoration shall be used by PARTNER upon PERTAMINA EP prior written approval.

 

The amount charged in each Year will be calculated by dividing the total estimated cost of abandonment and site restoration for each discovery by the total estimated number of Years in the economic life of each discovery. The estimates of monies required for all abandonment and site restoration activities shall be reviewed on an annual basis and such estimates shall be adjusted each Year as required.
