The Banyu Urip field of the Cepu block in Bojonegoro regency, East Java has currently reached the production level of approximately 41,100 bopd, according to a top official of PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC).
"Currently, Cepu relies on two production facilities, namely the EPF (Early Production Facility) and EOE (Early Expansion Facility). The EPF on Well Pad A produces around 30,000 bopd, while the EOE on Well Pad C produces around 11,100 bopd. The total production is now reaching 41,100 bopd,? PEPC?s President Director Amril Thaib Mandailing told Petromindo.com.
Previously, he said the Authorization for Expenditure (AFE) for a new production facility, called Well Pad B Early Oil (WPBEO), which is expected to provide additional production of 35,000 bopd at the Banyu Urip field, has been submitted to upstream authority SKK Migas.
The WPBFO production facility is scheduled to provide an additional of 35,000 bopd this March or April, according to Amril.
The Cepu block in the border areas of Central Java and East Java is one of the prime oil and gas projects expected to come onstream this year. The block is jointly operated by ExxonMobil Cepu Ltd (EMCL), a unit of ExxonMobil Oil Indonesia, and PEPC.
