PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ) has been forced to suspend oil and gas production at Area F following compressor repair work since October 18, Bisnis Indonesia daily reported on Wednesday.
Deputy for Operational Control at upstream oil and gas authority SKK Migas Muliawan was quoted as saying that he feared the production suspension will eventually affect PHE?s overall oil and gas production this year. He said that the temporary suspension at Area F could potentially cause PHE ONWJ oil production to decline by 4,000 bpd.
He hoped PHE, which has also suffered previous suspension in other areas for maintenance work, would be able to quickly complete the repair work at Area F.
Meanwhile, PHE ONWJ Communications Manager Donna Priadi said that the repair work at Area F has been scheduled, and that any production decline would be compensated by production from other areas. (*)
