JAKARTA - The Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) is monitoring the implementation of the Nuri-1X Exploration Well operated by the BOB KKKS PT Bumi Siak Pusako–Pertamina Hulu (BOB BSP-PH).

The Nuri-1x Exploration Well was successfully drilled on June 5, 2022, at 23:30 WIB. The Nuri-1X Exploration Well is located in Kampar Regency, Tapung Hilir District, which is the second Exploration Well in Riau Province.

Drilling of the Nuri-1X Exploration Well using TMMJ's Rig with a capacity of 1000HP, is planned to be completed within 56 days, with a target well depth of 8800ft, the Nuri-1X well drillers will penetrate the Farmers, Telisa, Bekasap and Pematang Formation, with the hope of finding hydrocarbon reserves in Bekasap Formation and Pematang Formation.

SKK Migas Deputy Operations Julius Wiratno said this was clear evidence of the implementation of the BOP BSP-PH exploration well drilling program as stated in the 2022 WPnB where two exploration wells were set.

After the drilling of the first exploration well, SKK Migas has coordinated with BOB BSP-PH to prepare for the drilling of the second exploration well.

"We are optimistic that BOB BSP - PH can realize the exploration well drilling program in 2022. Especially now that there are no barriers to the mobility of workers and equipment as a positive impact of the Covid-19 outbreak being controlled, or obstacles due to weather factors, because it has entered the rainy season. drought," said Juius in a written statement, Monday, June 6.

Julius added, the aggressive and massive effort to find new oil and gas reserves for the sustainability of the national upstream oil and gas industry in the future, is reflected in the number of exploration well drilling programs in 2022 which reached 42 wells, or more than the realization of drilling exploration wells in 2021. totaling 28 wells.

"We hope this year we can maintain the success ratio of drilling exploration wells last year which reached 55 percent. The number of exploration wells drilling is much larger and the success ratio is high, so it is hoped that the discovery of oil and gas reserves in 2022 will be better," concluded Julius.
