The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) noted that there were new oil reserves at the Banyu Urip Field, Cepu Block, which ExxonMobil currently manages.
Head of SKK Migas, Amien Sunaryadi, said that there is the potential for additional crude oil from the clastic rock layers in Banyu Urip. If proven, the reserve has the potential to increase the life span of the field which is currently projected to only be for the next seven years.

"That, right, in Banyu Urip, yes, on top of that there is a clastic layer. Now, this is being studied and it turns out there is oil as well. This has not been put into reserve. If there is sufficient time, there will be another exploration drilling in the working area not widespread, but inter-layer, "said Amien.
However, Amien has not explained in more detail. One thing is certain, next year, SKK Migas is optimistic that the production of Banyu Urip can increase from the current of 208,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 209,000 bpd to 212,000 bpd.

"It should be bigger. But the storage facility for the Crow Rimang is not enough to accommodate more oil," he said.
Therefore, according to Amien, the concern at this time is the shelter facilities, not subsurface data anymore.
"It used to be afraid of subsurface, reserves of 475 million barrels and after being tested for more than a year, it was concluded that reserves of 700 million barrels, reserves are not a problem," he concluded.

Ada Potensi Cadangan Minyak Baru di Blok Cepu
Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas (SKK Migas) mencatat ada temuan cadangan minyak baru di Lapangan Banyu Urip, Blok Cepu, yang saat ini dikelola ExxonMobil.
Kepala SKK Migas, Amien Sunaryadi, mengatakan, ada potensi tambahan minyak mentah dari lapisan batuan klastik di Banyu Urip. Jika terbukti, cadangan tersebut berpotensi menambah umur lapangan tersebut yang saat ini diproyeksikan hanya sampai tujuh tahun ke depan.
"Itu, kan, di Banyu Urip, ya, di atasnya ada lapisan klastik. Nah, hal tersebut sedang dipelajari dan ternyata ada minyaknya juga. Ini belum dimasukkan ke cadangan. Apabila ada waktu yang cukup, akan ada pengeboran lagi Ekplorasi di wilayah kerja tersebut bukan meluas, namun antar-lapisan," ungkap Amien.
Namun, Amien belum menjelaskan lebih rinci. Satu hal yang pasti, pada tahun depan, SKK Migas optimistis produksi Banyu Urip bisa meningkat dari saat ini yang sebesar 208.000 barel per hari (bph) menjadi 209.000 bph hingga 212.000 bph.
"Seharusnya bisa lebih besar. Tapi fasilitas penyimpanan mjnyak Gagak Rimang tidak cukup untuk menampung minyak lebih besar," ucap dia.
Oleh karena itu, menurut Amien, yang menjadi concern saat ini adalah fasilitas penampungan, bukan lagi data di bawah permukaan (subsurface).
"Dulu takut subsurface, cadangan 475 juta barel dan setelah diuji setahun lebih, disimpulkan cadangan 700 juta barel, cadangan tidak masalah," pungkas dia.
