To ensure the availability of supplies of materials to support the drilling program, PT CPI and PHR have signed a joint utilization agreement of state-owned warehouse facilities in the Rokan Block on April 21. Thus, PHR can begin to import and store materials to support the drilling program in warehouses managed by PT CPI in Duri and Dumai.
These materials include pipes, conductors, casings, tubing, wellheads, valves, cables, and bobbing pumps. Currently, a number of PHR materials have arrived at PT CPI's warehouse.
"Hopefully, after the date of the transfer of management later, the drilling program can continue without any disruption to material supply because PHR's materials are already available in the field," said Budianto.
