By Febry Silaban

Current oil production from fields under primary or secondary recovery within the Rokan PSC in Riau, which is operated by PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI), stands at 281,000 bopd, according to an official at upstream authority SKK Migas.

?The current oil production from Chevron in Riau is still quite good, reaching 281,000 bopd, slightly above the target of 279,000 bopd,? SKK Migas Head of Public Relations Elan Biantoro told Petromindo.com recently.

The Rokan block is home to the large Duri, Minas, and Bekasap fields. Duri is one of the largest steam flood operations in the world. Minas is where it all began for CPI. The oil first produced by CPI in Sumatra was the world-famous ?Sumatran Light? that flowed from the Minas field in 1952.

The Rokan block is 100 percent owned by CPI. The PSC will expire in Aug. 9, 2021.
