Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir appreciated the performance of PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) in managing the Rokan Block. In the two months since taking over, PHR has contributed to state revenues of Rp 2.7 trillion.
Erick detailed that the Rokan Working Area (WK) had paid Rp 2.1 trillion to the state and paid taxes of around Rp 607.5 billion through the sale of the state's share of crude oil. In addition, it provides a multiplier effect on the national economy.
"This shows that SOEs are capable, not dependent on foreign operators, and can work efficiently," he said.
Erick hopes that this achievement can continue to be improved. Because the benefits are very large for the nation and state.
"In addition to meeting national energy needs, it must support job creation, business opportunities for local entrepreneurs, as well as improving community welfare," he said.
President Director of PT Pertamina Nicke Widyawati added that the operation of the Rokan WK is supported by more than 25 thousand workers. The majority are local Riau residents. Therefore, these national strategic assets require maximum support from all stakeholders for smooth operations so that they have an impact on opening up business and job opportunities for local communities.
"We have discussed and coordinated with the Riau Regional Government regarding the potential for additional taxes for the region so that the contribution we make is more real," said Nicke Wiyawati.
Since PHR was taken over, the intensity of WK Rokan's operations has increased. In line with the target of 161 wells being drilled by the end of this year. In the last two months, his party has drilled more than 79 wells by operating 16 rigs.
"Next year, it is targeted to drill 500 wells so that increased activity in the Rokan WK will be able to increase economic activity in Riau," She said.
