During the meeting held by the Special Work Unit for Upstream Oil and Gas Activities (SKK Migas), Wednesday (13/2), Rudi Rubiandini, Head of SKK Migas, urged the National Oil and Gas Company (Pertamina) to increase their oil and gas exploration efforts in order to meet the growing oil and gas production demands.
“Pertamina should work harder to increase oil and gas production for the sake of its own [and Indonesia’s] development,” argued Rudi.
In response, General Manager of Pertamina EP for the Eastern Region Satoto Agustono explained to hukumonline at Pertamina’s Central Office on Friday (15/2), that Pertamina cannot drastically increase exploration because of the costs associated with it, along with the company’s limited drilling capabilities.
“Drilling is not simple,” he stated.
Ali Mundakir, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Pertamina, who also was interviewed on the same day, appreciated SKK Migas’ suggestions. He agreed that the there is an increase in oil and gas production demand, however, similar to Satoto, he explained that exploration and drilling of oil fields is a lengthy and a very demanding process.
Ali insisted that Pertamina has been continuously increasing productivity, but it is important to remember that it takes time.
For example, Pertamina’s production target in 2013 is 243,000 barrels daily—a 20 percent increase compared to last year—Ali concluded.
