So far, PEB has succeeded in carrying out this commitment by completing the Central Processing Platform (CPP) reactivation activity within approximately 1 year, which includes activating production facilities, installing production support facilities and processing of related permits, such as revising Environmental Permit Approval documents including adding 4 development well locations.

Furthermore, Approval of the Approval of Sea Space Utilization Activities (PKKPRL), Determination of the Security and Safety Zone (ZKK), Determination of Restrictions on Restrictions (DTT) and the processing of Operationally Eligible Approval Permits (PLO). PEB is fully committed to continuing to carry out this project operation with high efficiency, quality and prioritizing the principles of HSSE (Health, Safety, Security, and Environment).

SKK Migas PEB has closely overseen the field reactivation activities starting from the process of procuring production facilities in accordance with PTK 007 regulations to coordinating with the regions to support the smooth running of the project.

"In addition, PEB made a breakthrough to increase production from the Camar Field by starting a series of FEED studies and the procurement stage for project facilities components for the reactivation of other platforms, namely the MPA (Monopod Platform), which is expected to be completed in this 3-year quarter."

And also CS-5 and CS-6 drilling in 2025 at the CPP location.

With the activity plan to be carried out, the estimated production volume of the Camar Field can reach 3,000 BOPDs by 2025, so that production from this field is expected to be an addition in increasing Indonesia's energy security, as well as providing a stable clean energy supply in the long term.
