Pursuing National Production Target, Pertamina EP Bunyu Field Again Drills Two Development Wells

JAKARTA - PT Pertamina EP (PEP) Bunyu Field has again drilled the third and fourth wells, namely wells B-2105 and B-2109. Previously, in early 2022, two wells were drilled, namely B-2102 and B-2103.

The drilling of this development well is a form of Pertamina Subholding Upstream Regional Kalimantan commitment to continue investing in maintaining and increasing oil and gas production which is important in supporting the achievement of national production targets.

“PEP Bunyu Field continues to strictly enforce health protocols in the drilling area in accordance with the company's principle of always prioritizing the HSSE aspect in all oil and gas operations and business activities. In addition, as a form of the Company's gratitude for this drilling activity, PEP Bunyu Field handed over compensation to 50 poor people in Bunyu District in the form of cash and beef," added Agung.

Representative of Bunyu District, Ahmad Santosa, appreciated the Company's active contribution to the Bunyu community and hoped that drilling activities would run smoothly.

"Hopefully the drilling will be successful and smooth in producing oil to increase national production, which (of course) will have an impact on improving the economy in the Bunyu area," he said.
