PT Elnusa Tbk (ELSA) also took part in increasing gas production in Prabumulih Field managed by PT Pertamina EP (PEP) Prabumulih Field as part of PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) Regional Sumatra Zone 4 Subholding Upstream Pertamina.

It is known, PT Pertamina EP Prabumulih Field has successfully completed drilling three development wells, namely PMN 12, 13, and 14 in Langkasa Village, Lubai Ulu District, Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra. As a result, gas was obtained at Pakugajah Qg Gas Collection Station (SPG) of 11.82 MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet per day) which is a combination of PMN 12 13, and 14, on January 22, 2024.

Currently, oil production from PHR Regional Sumatra Zone 4 is around 24,000 bopd (barrel per day) and gas production is 452 MMSCFD.

Elnusa Operations Director, Endro Hartanto revealed, Elnusa's work in Prabumulih Field has been going on for more than 20 years, where Elnusa helped PT Pertamina EP look for hydrocarbon content, especially through the services of Wireline Logging Services.

In addition, Elnusa was also involved in exploration drilling activities in Prabumulih Field in the Mud Logging Unit and Drilling Fluid Services services.

For the work of Wireline Logging in the Area 4 Prabumulih Field, we also play a role in Open-Hole Logging, Cased-Hole Logging activities to Perforation and Pipe Recovery activities.
