By Febry Silaban

PT Medco Energi Internasional Tbk plans to drill exploration wells in Senoro Toili block, Central Sulawesi next year, according to a top official of the firm.

?But, at this time I cannot say how many exploration wells will be drilled,? President Director Lukman Mahfoedz told Petromindo.com.

The block is operated by the Joint Operating Body Pertamina - Medco E&P Tomori Sulawesi (JOB-PMTS) which comprises of MedcoEnergi (30%), PT Pertamina (50%), and Tomori E&P Ltd (20%). The construction of the Senoro Upstream Facility at the block is finished yet but it has been able to deliver gas to the Donggi Senoro LNG plant (DSLNG). Once finished, the facility will have two production trains with a combined capacity of 310 mmscfd of gas and 8,500 bpd of condensate. At full production, JOB PMTS will be able to deliver 250 mmscfd to DSLNG and 55 mmscfd to an ammonia plant now under construction by PT Panca Amara Utama (PAU).
