PT Saka Energi Indonesia, a subsidiary of state-controlled gas distribution firm PT Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk. (PGN), will conduct well testing at South Sesulu-1 exploration well in the South Sesulu block offshore East Kalimantan next week, according to a senior official of the firm.
?South Sesulu-1 well has been spudded since December 2014. We will commence well testing there next week,? Saka?s Operation Director Tumbur Parlindungan told Petromindo.com.
The well was spudded using Gorilla II jack-up rig owned by US offshore drilling company Rowan Companies Plc. The rate for the rig was US$146,000 per day.
In October 2013, Saka acquired a 100 percent stake in South Sesulu block from US company Hess Corp.
