Pertamina Hulu Energi Achieves Significant Oil Production Boost

Successful Revival of Mature Well

PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ) has successfully completed a Workover and Layer Change (KUPL) operation on the LD-10 well in the Lima Field, located off the north coast of West Java. The well, which had been inactive for 6 years, has been revived with an impressive production rate of 1,097 BOPD and a low water content of 6%.

Technical Achievements

The KUPL operation targeted the L-30 and L-29 formations (Main Formation) in a new compartment in the northeast area of the Lima Field. The target selection was supported by detailed petrophysical evaluation and analysis, which identified new potential based on comparisons with other structures in the field. The production test was conducted using gas lift injection, a method used to enhance oil flow when natural reservoir pressure is insufficient.

Strategic Impact

According to Rachmat Hidajat, Director of PHE ONWJ, this achievement demonstrates the company's commitment to increasing oil and gas production to support national energy independence. The success shows that with proper planning and disciplined execution, new opportunities can be found even in mature assets. This revival contributes to Indonesia's energy security and showcases PHE ONWJ's technical capabilities in maximizing production from existing fields.
