Exxon Mobil has invested US $ 100 million to drill a well from Kedung Keris field to realize an additional 10,000 barrels per day production from the field located in Cepu-East Java Block. Erwin Maryoto, Vice President of Public and Government Affairs of ExxonMobil Indonesia, said that the company spent US $ 100 million in Kedung Keris, including the management of the old wells. In 2019, Kedung Keris will start on stream and there is an additional production of about 10,000 barrels per day.
Late April 2018 yesterday, we have just signed the EPC [Engineering Procurement Construction] contract. Later on, PT Meindo Elang Indah is a national company, "he said.
Erwin said, Meindo Elang Indah will only work on production facilities in the well and install a pipe of approximately 16 km from the process facility in Banyu Urip. Later, the crude oil obtained in Kedung Keris will be processed directly in Banyu Urip. ExxonMobil has not given a signal yet to add exploration wells.
The addition of Kedung Keris will also increase the production of Cepu Block near its peak at 220,000 barrels per day. Erwin said, currently Banyu Urip production is about 210,000 barrels per day. Special production in Banyu Urip in environmental impact analysis (AMDAL) is maximum production of 220,000 barrels per day.
"We will update the rules. If, the addition of Kedung Keris smoothly hopefully can be 220,000 barrels per day, "he said.
SKIP TARGET
Meanwhile, Banyu Urip production at 210,000 barrels per day has exceeded this year's target of 205,000 barrels per day. Related to the additional production potential in Banyu Uiip area, ExxonMobil admitted to continue to study to see the development of oil and gas reserves there. Erwin said, by passing the peak of production at around 210,000 barrels per day it would not affect the US Company's well well to maximize production by analyzing existing reservoir data. Like, oil and gas reserves initially estimated there are 450 million barrels, but after the evaluation of its reserves there are about 729 million barrels.
"We also continue to conduct studies and analysis for the potential of other new reserves," he said.
Erwin noted, Banyu Urip production in the position of about 210,000 barrels per year can still continue until the next 3 years. We try to keep watch for production to be above 200,000 barrels per day. Evaluation results show this production level can last until 2021, but if we find new reserves could continue, "he said.

Exxon Mobil Siapkan US$100 Juta
Exxon Mobil mengeluarkan investasi senilai US$ 100 juta untuk mengebor satu sumur dari lapangan Kedung Keris untuk merealisasikan adanya tambahan produksi sebesar 10.000 barel per hari dari lapangan yang berada di Blok Cepu-Jawa Timur. Erwin Maryoto, Vice President Public and Goverment Affairs ExxonMobil Indonesia mengatakan, pihaknya mengeluarkan US$ 100 juta di Kedung Keris itu termasuk pengelolaan sumur yang lama. Pada 2019, Kedung Keris bakal mulai on stream dan ada tambahan produksi sekitar 10.000 barel per hari.
Akhir April 2018 kemarin, kami baru saja tanda tangan EPC [Engineering Procurement Construction] kontrak. Nantinya yang mengerjakan adalah PT Meindo Elang Indah, itu perusahaan nasional,” ujarnya.
Erwin menuturkan, Meindo Elang Indah hanya akan mengerjakan fasilitas produksi di sumur dan memasang pipa kurang lebih 16 km dari fasilitas proses di Banyu Urip. Nantinya, minyak mentah yang didapatkan di Kedung Keris akan diproses langsung di Banyu Urip. ExxonMobil pun belum memberikan sinyal akan menambah eksplorasi sumur.
Tambahan dari Kedung Keris itu pun akan menambah produksi Blok Cepu mendekati titik puncaknya di level 220.000 barel per hari. Erwin mengatakan, saat ini produksi Banyu Urip sudah sekitar 210.000 barel per hari. Khusus produksi di Banyu Urip dalam analisis mengenai dampak lingkungan (Amdal) tertera maksimal produksi 220.000 barel per hari.
“Kami akan mengikuij aturan tersebut. Kalau, tambahan dari Kedung Keris lancar mudah-mudahan bisa menjadi 220.000 barel per hari,” ujarnya.
LEWATI TARGET
Adapun, produksi Banyu Urip yang berada di 210.000 barel per hari sudah melewati target tahun ini yang sebesar 205.000 barel per hari. Terkait potensi tambahan produksi di kawasan Banyu Uiip, ExxonMobil mengaku terus melakukan studi untuk melihat perkembangan cadangan migasnya di sana.
Erwin menuturkan, dengan melewati titik puncak produksi di sekitar 210.000 barel per hari tidak akan mempengaruhi umur sumur Perusahaan AS itu memaksimalkan produksi dengan menganalisa data reservoir yang ada. Seperti, awalnya cadangan migas di sana diperkirakan 450 juta barel, tetapi setelah dievaluasi cadangannya ada sekitar 729 juta barel.
“Kami pun terus melakukan studi dan analisa untuk adanya potensi cadangan-cadangan baru lainnya,” ujarnya.
Erwin mencatat, produksi Banyu Urip yang berada pada posisi sekitar 210.000 barel per tahun ini masih bisa berlanjut hingga 3 tahun ke depan. Kami coba jaga terus agar produksi bisa di atas 200.000 barel per hari. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan level produksi ini bisa bertahan sampai 2021, tetapi kalau kami temukan cadangan baru bisa saja terus berlanjut,” ujarnya.
