Malaysian oil and gas company Petronas is trying to prove its commitment to continue managing oil and gas fields in Indonesia, even though Petronas must swallow the bitter pill from Kepodang Field of Muriah Block which is being force majeure as production continues to decline.
Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs and Administration of Petrnonas Carigali Indonesia Andiono Setiawan said Petronas can still taste the opportunity to manage oil and gas field in Indonesia from the Ketapang Block Ketapang Ground onstream in 2015. Bukit Tua Field oil production currently reaches 15,000 barrels oil per day (BOPD) . Gas production is 30 mmscfd.
"Early production could be 18,000 bopd, also up to 20,000 bopd," said Andiono.
Therefore Petronas will also drill two wells this year. The rig to drill two wells has arrived on September 3, 2017, Petronas hopes that drilling two wells could increase Bukit Tua oil production by 20,000 bopd.
"Old hill is still sweet, we will drill for added production" Andiono added.
In addition to Bukit Tua Field, Andiono also said Petronas will continue drilling an exploration well in North Madura II project. Unfortunately Andiono did not want to mention the cost of drilling in the three wells.

Petronas Tetap Berkomitmen Investasi di Indonesia
Perusahaan migas asal Malaysia, Petronas, berusaha membuktikan komitmennya untuk tetap mengelola lapangan migas di Indonesia, Biarpun Petronas harus menelan pil pahit dari Lapangan Kepodang Blok Muriah yang sedang force majeure karena produksi terus menurun.
Senior Manager Corporate affairs and administration Petrnonas Carigali Indonesia Andiono Setiawan mengatakan Petronas masih bisa mencicipi peluang mengelola lapangan migas di Indonesia dari Lapangan Bukit Tua Blok Ketapang yang onstream pada tahun 2015, Produksi minyak Lapangan Bukit Tua saat ini mencapai 15.000 barrel oil per day (BOPD). Sementara produksi gas sebesar 30 mmscfd.
"Produksi awal-awal bisa 18.000 bopd, pernah juga sampai 20.000 bopd,"kata Andiono.
Oleh karena itu Petronas pun akan melakukan pengeboran dua sumur pada tahun ini. Rig untuk melakukan pengeboran dua sumur inipun telah tiba pada 3 September 2017 lalu, Petronas berharap pengeboran dua sumur ini bisa meningkatkan produksi minyak Bukit Tua hingga 20.000 bopd.
"Bukit tua masih manislah, kami akan mengebor buat tambah produksi" imbuh Andiono.
Selain Lapangan Bukit Tua, Andiono juga bilang Petronas akan melanjutkan pengeboran satu sumur eksplorasi di proyek North Madura II. Sayangnya Andiono tidak mau menyebut biaya untuk melakukan pemboran di tiga sumur tersebut.
