By Godang Sitompul

SKK Migas?s Chairman Rudi Rubiandini is putting some changes on the agency?s leadership structure as part of the efforts to reform the agency that was established last month to replace BPMIGAS, according to sources.

?The reorganization and reshuffle will be announced on Friday,? one of the sources said.

Under the new structure, SKK Migas will have four deputies, namely planning deputy, operational control deputy, financial control deputy, general affairs deputy; and two unit heads equal to deputies, namely board of management secretary, better known in Indonesia as Sespim, and head of internal supervision unit, better known by the Indonesian acronym UPI (Unit Pengawasan Internal). At present, sespim and UPI head ranked lower than deputies.

The current position of legal evaluation and review deputy will be eliminated and its function and tasks will be put under the deputy of general affairs, according to the sources.

Several names have been tipped to assume strategic positions in the new organizational structure, including Aussie Gautama, a former employee of Total EP Indonesie, and Bernadus Wahyu Putro, a primary specialist of general affairs deputy at SKK Migas.

During his recent installment ceremony, Rudi was told by Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Jero Wacik to reform the organizational structure of SKK Migas to make it more efficient.
