JAKARTA - A total of 2,757 Chevron Pacific Indonesia workers are ready to join as prospective Pertamina Group employees, ahead of the transfer of management of the Rokan Block from PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) to Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) on August 9, 2021.

"Welcome for the 2,757 employees of Chevron Pacific Indonesia, prospective Pertamina Group employees," said PT Pertamina (Persero) President Director Nicke Widyawati in an official statement of SVP Corporate Communications & Investor Relations, Fajriyah Usman, as quoted from Antara, Monday 7 June.

According to him, the transfer of management to Pertamina as a national company will provide wider benefits for the state in terms of management and state revenues and strengthen Pertamina's position as one of the locomotives of development and the national economy.

The company, he said, also has a mandate and a noble task, namely being given a target of producing 1 million barrels of oil and gas by 2030, so it takes the commitment and dedication of all elements of workers, especially the Upstream Subholding to be able to realize this goal.

President Director of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi as Upstream Subholding Budiman Parhusip explained that in the future the Rokan Block will be managed by PHR under the auspices of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi as Upstream Subholding.

"Currently, PHR manages Upstream Work Areas and Assets in the Sumatra Region, known as Regional 1-Sumatra Subholding Upstream," he said.

He explained, with this Regionalization system, between Work Areas and Assets that are close to each other, especially Sumatra in this case, field optimization can be carried out and the effectiveness of operational development. So that the joining of CPI Workers will also open up more career development opportunities.

PHR President Director Jaffee Arizon Suardin added an explanation regarding PHR which is also Regional 1-Sumatra in Pertamina's Upstream Subholding that PHR, apart from managing the Rokan block, also manages all Pertamina blocks or working areas in Sumatra.

"We want to grow significantly and sustainably by focusing on all the potential that can still be developed. Business Continuity to maintain and even increase production and safety and reliability remains the main priority in carrying out the work," he said.

Pertamina through PHR will also ensure the operatorship transfer runs smoothly so that it can complete the program in 2021 and grow significantly in the following years," said Jaffee.
