JAKARTA - The Cooperation Contract Contractor (KKKS) PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) continues to actively seek new oil and gas reserves in Riau Province.
This strategic step is part of efforts to support national energy security, regional welfare and the surrounding community through increasing economic benefits from the presence of upstream oil and gas activities.
To find new oil and gas reserves, the PHR KKKS will carry out a 3-Dimensional (3D) seismic survey in South Petapahan Field, Rokan WK starting November 2022 and Black Field starting March 2023.
Manager of Corporate Affairs Asset South PHR at WK Rokan Wan Dedi Yudhistira said, apart from being important to support the fulfillment of national energy needs, this seismic survey has the potential to boost the regional economy and create new job opportunities.
"This activity also aims to make the blessings of oil and gas in Riau continue to flow through sustainable production with the discovery of new reserves," he said in an official statement, Friday, August 12.
Seismic in the South Petapahan Field, located in the Kampar Regency area, covers an area of 127 Km2 across three sub-districts namely Tapung, Tapung Hulu, Tapung Hilir and six villages.
Meanwhile, the Black Field covers an area of 101 Km2, crossing two sub-districts and three villages, most of which are in the Rokan Hulu (Rohul) District and less than one percent in the Kampar area.
The seismic activity in the two fields is one of the WK Rokan Definite Work Commitment (KKP) programs to the government through SKK Migas.
"The search for new oil and gas reserves also supports the government's efforts to achieve the production target of 1 million barrels of oil per day and gas of 12 billion standard cubic feet per day by 2030," said Head of Representative of SKK Migas for Northern Sumatra Region Rikky Rahmat Firdaus.
The district head of Kampar Kamsol supports the planned seismic survey activity.
"Let's work together to support activities that provide benefits to the regional economy so that the oil production target of one million barrels per day in 2030 can be achieved," he said.
Kamsol hopes that this survey can find oil and gas reserves so as to provide benefits and welfare for the people in Kampar Regency.
Socialization and licensing activities are the initial stages of seismic survey activities.
The next stages are topographic survey and track preparation, initial data collection, drilling and pre-loading, recording, final data collection, and track cleaning.
