After officially managing the Rokan Block, PT Pertamina (Persero) through PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) is targeted to be able to produce oil with higher achievements.
Deputy for Operations of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) Julius Wiratno said that with the number of drilling activities and the availability of more massive tools, production in the Rokan Block is targeted to increase.
"Until December 2021, with around 17-18 rigs drilling, production could be around 175,000-180,000 barrels per day," he said.
Meanwhile, based on SKK Migas data, production in the Rokan Block throughout the first semester of 2021 by PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) was at the level of 160,646 barrels of oil per day (BPD), this figure is lower than the target set in the 2021 State Budget of as much as 165,000 BPD.
President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) Jaffee Suardin believes production in the Rokan Block can increase when the transfer of management is carried out. The reason is, throughout this year Pertamina is targeting massive drilling. PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) plans to drill as many as 161 wells after the transfer of management in the Rokan Block which will begin on August 9, 2021.

Jaffee said that there will be an additional 77 wells from CPI's commitment which will not be completed until the management transfer period on August 9th. In the previous target, Pertamina planned to drill only 84 wells for 2021.
"As of December 161 wells, the target production level is maintained and can increase," he said.
Jaffee said PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) had prepared the resources needed to realize the plan. To realize the Wells drilling plan, 16 to 17 rigs have been prepared.
In addition, Jaffee said that all human resources, as well as supporting materials, have been prepared so that when the transition period is over, all activities can start immediately.
"For that, we continue to make preparations, from Pertamina's side, the planned number of rigs, materials, from Pertamina's side, are ready. So, the goal is that the transfer of management process will run smoothly without any disturbances,” said Jaffee.
