PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) continued to drill the sixth well using the ACS-19 rig technology in the Rokan Block, Riau Province, a week after the transfer of management.
PHR President Director Jaffee Arizon Suardin said the drilling activity was carried out to maintain the level of oil production in the Rokan Block.
“Everyone worked hard from the transition period to after this management transfer. There is rig preparation work which is usually completed in six days but can be completed in three days,” said Jaffee.
Jaffee said that his party had drilled five wells, namely the Bangko-344 P03reg5 well, the Duri P_3R33E well, the Duri 3K-49C well, two Duri 8M-75B wells, and the Bekasap #161-BK21_P01 well. Currently, as many as 25 locations are ready to be drilled or known as Ready For Drilling (RFD). Pertamina targets to drill 161 new wells by the end of this year.
According to Jaffee, the target is part of efforts to achieve the oil production target proclaimed by the central government, namely one million barrels per day (BPD) in 2030.
“PHR is committed to supporting the achievement of the central government's target. PHR's main priority at this time is drilling," said Jaffee.
Pertamina now operates 10 rigs which will gradually increase to 16 rigs until October 2021. In an effort to run a safe, reliable, and efficient drilling program, PHR focuses on three things, namely the consistent implementation of safety programs, the conversion of two workover rigs (350 HP) ) into drilling rigs, and achieving superior and efficient performance through the Lean Sigma program.
Pertamina President Director Nicke Widyawati advised PHR to continue to focus on carrying out the government's mandate to provide the best for the country, society, and nation through the management of the Rokan Block. So that it can realize Indonesia's energy independence and sovereignty.
By the end of 2021, PHR plans to drill 161 new wells, including the remaining wells from the previous operator commitments. Meanwhile, in 2022, PHR plans to drill approximately 500 new wells. This is the investment commitment and the largest number of wells among other oil, and gas Working areas in Indonesia.
The drilling activity will be supported by the preparation of an additional 10 drilling rigs so that in total there are 16 rigs and 29 other rigs for workover & well service activities which are a mirroring of the previous contract.
Based on the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Number 1923 K/10/MEM/-2018 dated August 6, 2018, the government decided PT Pertamina (Persero) through its affiliate PHR as the manager of Rokan after a week (August 8) with 100% Participating Interest/PI ownership.
