PHR Starts 2022 by Drilling Three Wells

Minas, January 1, 2022 - PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) - Sumatera region begins 2022, at 00:00 WIB, by drilling wells in 3 locations, namely the PRD-09 Rantau Field well (Zone 1), MNA – P03 Minas Field well (WK Rokan), and KRG -PA1 Limau Field well (Zone 4).

Well drilling is a tradition carried out at Pertamina at the turn of the year and especially this year it is monitored directly from the PHR War Room, the operational control center which was just inaugurated by the President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Nicke Widyawati.

The event began with gratitude delivered by the President Director of PHR, Jaffee A Suardin. "This activity is carried out as a form of gratitude for operating achievements in 2021 and welcoming the new year 2022 with the spirit of SUMATERA (Sustainable, Massive, To Grow, Efficient, Resilient, Aggressive). We, all members of the management and PHR officers, are present to be connected virtually from various locations from Aceh, Riau to South Sumatera," said Jaffee.

SKK Migas officials, Deputy of Planning Benny Lubiantara, Vice President of Operations Sondang Maria, Head of SKK Migas Sumbagut, Rikky Rahmat Firdaus, and Director of Pertamina Upstream Subholding Operation Development Taufiq Aditiawarman were also present at the inaugural drilling event.

Jaffee also added that the drilling was carried out as an effort to demonstrate PHR's readiness and commitment to continue to focus on massive and aggressive drilling in 2022 to reach 500 wells, the majority of which are in WK Rokan.

“Sumatera is the backbone and one of the largest contributors of crude oil in Indonesia. In 2022, the Sumatera Region is targeted to produce crude oil of 225 thousand barrels oil per day (BOPD). This is not an easy task but we will do our best to support national energy security,” he continued.

On this occasion, Jaffee conveyed a message to all Perwira (as Pertamina's workers are called) to always pay attention to HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, and Environment) both in the field and in the office. Always start any work with a prayer and carry out tasks by prioritizing the values ​​of AKHLAK (Trust, Competent, Harmonious, Loyal, Adaptive, Collaborative).

Thanksgiving was carried out with wisdom, where the officers at each location enjoyed the culinary specialties of their respective regions. **
