This figure exceeds the production target for both wells, where the BNG-D2 (BNG-54) well production target is 458 BOPD, and the BNG-B2 (BNG-55) well production target is 378 BOPD.

Not only getting oil, but the two wells also produce gas that exceeds the target. The BNG-D2 (BNG-54) well produces gas of 2.54 million standard cubic feet (Million Standard Cubic Feet per Day/MMSCFD) or 976 percent of the 0.26 MMSCFD target. Meanwhile, the BNG-B2 (BNG-55) well produces 5.44 MMSCFD gas or 326 percent of the 1.67 MMSCFD target.

General Manager of Zone 4, Agus Amperianto, said that the result was a positive signal for the realization of the 2023 Work Plan (RK).
