Block Termination Performance Decreases

Oil and gas production in the termination block which is now managed by PT Pertamina tends to decrease. This state-owned oil and gas company assesses that oil and gas contractors (KKKS) previously contributed to the decline in oil and gas block production. Pertamina won a mandate from the government to manage 10 termination oil and gas blocks.

Mahakam Block

The 10 oil and gas blocks include ONWJ, Mahakam Block, Central Block, Attaka Block, East Kalimantan, NSO, Sanga-sanga Block, Southeast Sumatra, Tuban Block and Ogan Komering.

PT Pertamina's Senior Vice President of Upstream Strategic Planning and Operation Evaluation. Meidawati, said the decline in oil and gas production in the termination block was because the old contractors did not issue investments in two to three years before termination.

At that time, Pertamina cannot enter the termination block because it is still managed by the old operator. With the exception of the Mahakam Block, Pertamina intends to drill 19 wells, although lately only 13 wells have been drilled due to declining production.

Kinerja Blok Terminasi Menurun

Produksi migas di blok terminasi yang kini dikelola PT Pertamina cenderung menurun. Perusahaan migas milik pemerintah ini menilai kontraktor migas (KKKS) terdahulu ikut berkontribusi atas penurunan produksi blok migas itu. Pertamina meraih mandat dari pemerintah untuk mengelola 10 blok migas terminasi. 

Ke-10 blok migas itu meliputi ONWJ, Blok Mahakam, Blok Tengah, Blok Attaka, East Kalimantan, NSO, Blok Sanga-sanga, Southeast Sumatera, Blok Tuban dan Ogan Komering.

Senior Vice President Upstream Strategic Planning and Operation Evaluation PT Pertamina. Meidawati, mengatakan penurunan produksi migas di blok terminasi karena kontraktor lama tidak mengeluarkan investasi dalam dua hingga tiga tahun sebelum terminasi.

Di jangka waktu itu, Pertamina tidak bisa masuk blok terminasi karena masih dikelola operator lama. Kecuali Blok Mahakam, Pertamina berniat mengebor 19 sumur, meski belakangan hanya 13 sumur yang dibor akrena produksinya sudah menurun.
