Oil production at the Beginning of the Year Exceeds Target

Special Unit of Upstream Oil and Gas (SKK Migas) recorded average oil production from January 1-February 4, 2017 amounted to 825 thousand barrels per day.  That figure exceeded the target of lifting (oil ready for sale) in the State Budget in 2017 amounted to 815 thousand barrels per day.

Unfortunately, SKK Migas reluctant to say the achievement of the lifting of the amount of production at the beginning of this year. "With the support of all parties, we are optimistic that oil and gas production target in 2017 could be exceeded, "said a spokeswoman for SKK Migas, Taslim Z. Yunus.

As for the beginning of the year gas production reached 7.8 million standard cubic feet per day, equivalent to 1,398 thousand barrels of oil per day. That figure exceeded the target of lifting in the state budget in 2017 amounted to 1,275 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day. SKK Migas reported, until January, drilling development wells had reached 223 activities.

As for reworking wells to be realized in 45 wells, or about 5 percent of this year's target of 907 wells Then, treatment wells (well service) until the end of January 1257 conducted in the well of the plan in 2017 as many as 57 512 wells.

According Taslim, drilling development wells and treatment needs to be done in accordance with the plan. For, without such activity, the rate of decline in oil production could reach 16.2 percent. "SKK Migas and the PSC continues to coordinate to optimize the realization of activities and minimize unplanned shutdown," said Taslim.

Produksi Minyak pada Awal Tahun Lampaui Target 

Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) mencatat produksi minyak rata-rata sejak 1 Januari-4 Februari 2017 sebesar 825 ribu barel per hari. Angka itu melampaui target lifting (minyak siap jual) dalam Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara 2017 sebesar 815 ribu barel per hari. 

Sayangnya, SKK Migas enggan menyebutkan berapa pencapaian lifting dari besaran produksi pada awal tahun ini. “Dengan dukungan semua pihak, kami optimistis target produksi migas pada 2017 dapat terlampaui,” ujar juru bicara SKK Migas, Taslim Z. Yunus.

Adapun produksi gas awal tahun mencapai 7,8 juta standar kaki kubik per hari atau setara 1.398 ribu barel minyak per hari. Angka itu melampaui target lifting dalam APBN 2017 sebesar 1.275 ribu barel setara minyak per hari. SKK Migas melaporkan, hingga Januari, pengeboran sumur pengembangan sudah mencapai 223 kegiatan.

    Sedangkan untuk sumur kerja ulang terealisasi di 45 sumur atau sekitar 5 persen dari target tahun ini sebesar 907 sumur Lalu, perawatan sumur (well service) sampai akhir Januari dilakukan di 1.257 sumur dari rencana 2017 sebanyak 57.512 sumur.

Menurut Taslim, kegiatan pengeboran sumur pengembangan dan perawatan perlu dilakukan sesuai dengan rencana. Sebab, tanpa aktivitas tersebut, laju penurunan produksi minyak bisa mencapai 16,2 persen.“SKK Migas dan kontraktor KKS terus berkoordinasi untuk mengoptimalkan realisasi kegiatan dan meminimalkan terjadinya unplanned shutdown,” kata Taslim.
