"The target is set by the Indonesian government through SKK Migas," said Senior Manager of Corporate Affairs & Administration PC Muriah, Andiono Setiawan, in Surabaya.
Working Area Petronas Bukit Tua Field
Andiono is optimistic, with the development of Petronas production which is one of the Malaysian companies that can maintain production from the Bukit Tua WK Ketapang field. It was based on performance since May 2015 when it first flowed petroleum in accordance with the target.
"Since the beginning of production in 2015, the production is very good, about 18,000 barrels per day or above the target set by the Government at that time as much as 16,000 barrels per day. Since there is a natural decline, the government is now targeting 15,000 bpd. Nevertheless, I wish I could reach about 16,000 bpd, "he said.
He said that the development is likely to increase gas production from Bukit Tua Field because currently, gas production is around 30 mmscfd which is channeled into Java Java (PJB) through Petrogas Jatim Utama (PJU). With this development, it is expected to increase gas production by about 15 mmscfd or become 45 mmscfd.
"Our party continues to commit to supporting the supply of electricity by PJB. The reliability of electricity is very important so that economic growth in East Java Region can be maintained even improved, "he said.

Since working on WK Ketapang, Petronas operations have shown very positive performance, even seven structures or wells have been drilled in that location. The result has then flowed through a 110 km seabed pipeline from an offshore receiving platform (ORF) located in Maspion Industrial Area (KIM), Manyar District, Gresik-East Java with a total storage capacity 70 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd).

Petronas Tingkatkan Produksi Minyak Bukit Ketapang
Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) akan meningkatkan produksi minyak di Lapangan Bukit Tua Wilayah Kerja (WK) Ketapang pada tahun ini untuk bisa melampui target produksi 15.000 barel per hari.
“Target tersebut ditetapkan pemerintah Indonesia melalui SKK Migas,” kata Senior Manager Corporate Affairs & Administration PC Muriah, Andiono Setiawan, di Surabaya.
Andiono merasa optimitis, dengan pengembangan produksi Petronas yang merupakan salah satu perusahaan berasal dari Malaysia itu bisa mempertahankan produksi dari lapangan Bukit Tua WK Ketapang. Hal itu didasarkan kinerja sejak Mei 2015 saat pertama kali mengalirkan minyak bumi sesuai dengan target.
“Sejak awal produksi di tahun 2015, produksi yang dihasilkan sangat bagus, sekitar 18.000 barel per hari atau di atas target yang ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah saat itu sebanyak 16.000 barel per hari. Karena ada penurunan alamiah, kini target pemerintah 15.000 bph. Kendati demikian, saya berharap bisa
mencapai sekitar 16.000 bph,” katanya.
Ia mengatakan bahwa pengembangan berpeluang menambah produksi gas dari Lapangan Bukit Tua sebab saat ini produksi gas berkisar 30 mmscfd yang dialirkan ke Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PJB) melalui Petrogas Jatim Utama (PJU). Dengan pengembangan ini, diharapkan ada kenaikan produksi gas sekitar 15 mmscfd atau menjadi 45 mmscfd.
“Pihak kami terus berkomitmen mendukung penyediaan listrik oleh PJB. Keandalan listrik sangat penting agar pertumbuhan ekonomi di Wilayah Jawa Timur bisa dijaga bahkan ditingkatkan,” katanya.
Sejak mengerjakan WK Ketapang, kegiatan operasi Petronas menunjukkan kinerja yang sangat positif, bahkan ada tujuh struktur atau sumur yang telah dibor di lokasi itu. Hasilnya, kemudian dialirkan melalui pipa dasar laut sepanjang 110 km dari anjungan lepas pantai (platform) ke fasilitas penerimaan darat atau onshore receiving facilities (ORF) yang berada di Kawasan Industri Maspion (KIM), Kecamatan Manyar, Gresik-Jawa Timur dengan total kapasitas penampungan 70 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd).
