PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) Siak, an indirect subsidiary of state-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina, which operates the Siak block in Rokan Hilir and Kampar regencies, Riau Province, said that oil production last year stood at 1,882 bopd.

?The Batang field was the largest contributor to the total production with average output of 1,053 bopd,? said PHE Siak General Manager Nana Heriana on Monday.

The Siak PSC comprises of three producing fields namely Bantang, Lindai, and Manggala South.

Nana said that the company has taken a number of measures to help increase production at the Siak block including opening of new producing zones and workover activities at the Batang field since last year.

Efforts to search for new production zones will be continued throughout this year, he added, among others low quality reservoir zone at the Telisa formation.

Reactivation of long-suspended wells have also been taken since the transfer of Lindai and Batang fields.

?This year, PHE Siak plans to activate one of the wells within the Lindai field, Lindai-029, which will become one of the injection wells (pressure maintenance program),? Nana said.

Siak PSC was formerly operated by Chevron Pacific Indonesia but was transferred to Pertamina in 2014.
