PT Pertamina EP continues to explore in several oil and gas fields to obtain large reserves. This is to answer the criticism of President Joko Widodo about the rarity of Pertamina to conduct explorations during the Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) some time ago.
Director of Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf said, in the last 50 years indeed the discovery of large oil and gas reserves is relatively small. There is only Minas Field, Duri-Riau Field, Jatibarang Field-West Java, Banyu Urip Field-East Java and Handil Square
"We did find the reserves such as Tapen, Jati Asri, Tambun, but the size is not as big as Banyu Urip, there is no exploration activity, but there is nothing as a whip just so we can find big ones," he said.
Pertamina EP has achieved production up to 132,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2009. At that Sukowati Field was able to produce up to 40,000 bpd and now its production is only 8,000 bpd.
"If Sukowati Field is still 40.000 bph we are still victorious, so indeed for high production there should be significant findings," he said.
For example, at that time Field Minas and Duri were able to produce up to 700,000 bpd, Widuri reached 200,000 bpd, and now ExxonMobil's Banyu Urip is capable of 200,000 bpd.
"We have to find oil class Banyu Urip," he said.
Despite its focus on oil, Pertamina EP is now also looking for gas reserves, as 60% of its current revenues are from gas.

Pertamina EP Terus Mencari Cadangan Migas Besar
PT Pertamina EP terus melakukan eksplorasi di beberapa lapangan migas untuk mendapatkan cadangan yang besar. Hal ini untuk menjawab kritik dari Presiden Joko Widodo tentang jarangnya Pertamina melakukan eksplorasi saat acara Indonesian Petroleum Association (IPA) beberapa waktu lalu.
Direktur Utama Pertamina EP Nanang Abdul Manaf mengatakan, dalam waktu 50 tahun terakhir memang penemuan cadangan migas besar relatif sedikit. Hanya ada Lapangan Minas, Lapangan Duri-Riau, Lapangan Jatibarang-Jawa Barat, Lapangan Banyu Urip-Jawa Timur dan Lapangan Handil
"Kami memang menemukan cadangan misalnya Tapen, Jati Asri, Tambun tetapi size-nya tidak sebesar Banyu Urip, terlihat tidak ada kegiatan eksplorasi, padahal ada. Tidak apa-apa itu sebagai cambuk saja supaya kita menemukan yang besar," kata dia.
Pertamina EP pernah mencapai produksi hingga 132.000 barel per hari (bph) pada tahun 2009. Saat itu Lapangan Sukowati mampu produksi hingga 40.000 bph dan sekarang produksinya hanya 8.000 bph.
"Kalau Lapangan Sukowati masih 40.000 bph kami masih berjaya. Jadi memang untuk produksi tinggi harus ada temuan yang signifikan," ujar dia.
Misalnya, saat itu Lapangan Minas dan Duri mampu produksi hingga 700.000 bph, Widuri mencapai 200.000 bph, dan sekarang Banyu Urip milik ExxonMobil mampu 200.000 bph.
"Kami harus temukan minyak sekelas Banyu Urip," ujar dia.
Meski fokus ke minyak, Pertamina EP sekarang juga sedang mencari cadangan gas, karena 60% pendapatan kini dari gas.
