JAKARTA - Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) has stated that it will work on the Ambalat Block located in the Sulawesi Sea. This oil and gas (oil and gas) block is located on the boundary of the sea between Malaysia and Indonesia.
Director of Strategic Planning, Portfolio, and Commercial PHE Edi Karyanto revealed that currently his party representing Indonesia is conducting further discussions with Petronas to jointly develop this oil and gas 'treasure'.
"We are also planning for regional development in the Ambalat Block which borders Malaysia. We are currently also discussing further with parties in Malaysia," he said at the 2025 Mineral Festival, Tuesday, July 30.
Edi added that currently his party is still waiting for directions from SKK Migas and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, in this case the Directorate General of Oil and Gas of Earth.

Not only experience, Pertamina's financial side also has sufficient capital if later given orders to work on oil and gas blocks that were once regions of this dispute.
