2011, 57 Thousand Tembus BPH

Peak Oil Field Production Sukowati

BOJONEGORO - peak oil production in Bojonegoro Sukowati field is projected to reach 57 thousand barrels per day (CPD) in the upcoming 2011. The amount is projected to come from two locations, namely Pad A Campurrejo Village, District Bojonegoro and Pad B at Ngampel Village, District Cotton.

"Production of top 57's of thousands of BPH according to plan was reached in 2011 by conducting field pengembangaan Sukowati oil wells," said Acting Field Manager of the Joint Operating Body Pertamina-PetroChina East Java (JOB P-PEJ) Budi Tambunan, yesterday (23/10).

He explained that the development undertaken is looking for new locations to increase production wells outside the oil wells that already exist on Pad A and Pad B.

"Target found under the potential oil reserves, is only now looking for suitable locations for drilling," he said. Prospect's potential oil reserves, he added, after previously by seismic research in the area of Tuban Block incoming Sukowati field.

Currently, said Budi, at Pad A and Pad B Sukowati field each have six producing oil wells with a total of 37 thousand BPH. On Pad B, according to the scenario you want to add another three oil wells, the wells 14, 15, and 16, which targets the drilling work completed in 2010.

To reach the peak production was 57 thousand BPH, according to Budi, will still be coupled with drilling three oil wells are still looking for the right location. "The location we were looking for oil wells Sukowati 17, 18, and 19," he explained.

Thus, all calculated in the field of oil wells in Bojonegoro Sukowati can produce 57 thousand BPH is expected to be achieved in 2011. Budi said, it is most probably due to continued efforts made to maintain and increase oil production from the field Sukowati. "For example Sukowati 9 oil wells that fail to produce,''he said

In addition, Budi said, the institute also conducts repairs of oil wells on Pad 1 Sukowati A continuing decline in production. Previously, Sukowati 1 could produce 3 thousand barrels. However, now only able to remove oil BPH 400. "Well, now is being sought can range from 1000 BPH to produce, by taking a layer of oil on top," he added.

Budi added, the average production of all oil wells in Bojonegoro range Sukowati BPH 2500-3900. Clearly, the trend of oil production from the field in Bojonegoro Sukowati still showed a tendency to increase. "Unlike the Mudi field in Tuban that in recent years shows a decrease. The fruit of 19 oil wells produce only 2600 BPH," he added. (ade)
