Dwi said this interest was expressed when the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) visited China recently.
"We just visited China, they have practiced this EOR a lot," said Dwi, quoted on Friday, June 7.
Dwi said, China has EOR technology so that it expresses its interest in exploring the potential of EOR in Indonesia with a note that it must cooperate with Pertamina and other KKKS.
"They are interested in exploring the potential of EOR in Indonesia with a record of cooperation with Pertamina and other KKKS," continued Dwi.
He further said that in total, the location of EOR potential in Indonesia could provide an additional 950 million barrels.
"This means a lot, therefore if you look at the first graph of green color on water float and EOR, the area is quite wide because it is calculated from this potential number," explained Dwi.
Still related to the technology used by China, Dwi said, during his visit, this bamboo curtain country they had long implemented EOR technology. Later, with the use of chemical EOR, it is believed that it can increase higher production.
