Starting 2022 Aggressively, Pertamina Drills Six Development Wells

Jakarta, January 3, 2022 - Pertamina's Upstream Subholding begins 2022 by drilling six development wells in several work areas spread throughout Indonesia.

Right at the time of the change from 2021 to 2022, in the Sumatera Region, three wells were drilled. Namely First, the KRG-PA1 well drill by Pertamina EP (PEP) Limau Field, located in Rambang Senuling Village, Rambang Kapak Tengah District, Prabumulih, South Sumatera and drilled using RIG PDSI #32.2/N80UE-E. Moreover, Pertamina also drilled the PRD-09 well in the PEP Rantau Field and the MNA-P03 well in the Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) Minas field.

SKK Migas officials, Deputy of Planning Benny Lubiantara, Vice President of Operations Sondang Maria, Head of SKK Migas Representative of Sumbagut Region, Rikky Rahmat Firdaus, Head of SKK Migas Representative of South Sumatera Region Anggono Mahendrawan and Director of Development and Production of Pertamina Hulu Energi Taufik Adityawarman were present at the inaugural drilling event.

In addition to the Sumatera Region, drilling activities for three development wells are also carried out in the Kalimantan region. Namely B-2102 well in Zone 10 of Pertamina EP Bunyu Field, STW-08 well in Zone 9 of Pertamina EP Sangatta Field and TN-AA323 well in Zone 8 of Pertamina Hulu Mahakam (PHM) Tunu field.

"Well drilling early this year was carried out as an acceleration effort, so it is hoped that Pertamina can contribute optimally in efforts to maintain the national oil and gas production level," said Arya Dwi Paramita, Corporate Secretary of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (Subholding Upstream Pertamina).

Furthermore, Arya emphasized that the implementation of drilling wells in the new year of this year is also a form of Pertamina's commitment to continue making efforts without a pause in increasing oil and gas production.

On New Year's Eve, Pertamina together with SKK Migas also ensured that oil and gas lifting activities at terminals and delivery points for all work areas could run smoothly so that oil and gas lifting in 2021 could be achieved maximally.

As of November 2021, Pertamina's Upstream Subholding oil and gas production reached 887 MBOEPD consisting of 437 MBOPD of oil and 2,608 MMSCFD of gas. This result is oil and gas production from all Pertamina Upstream Subholding work areas including those from abroad. Meanwhile, domestic production alone reached 340 MBOPD of oil and 2,290 MMSCFD of gas.

"We will continue to make efforts in increasing production to contribute optimally in supporting efforts to achieve the national production target of 1 million BOPD and 12 BSCFD in 2030 and carry out operational activities while prioritizing work safety and operating activities that support efforts to reduce emissions towards Net Zero Emission in 2060," he stated.**
