Indonesia’s PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), PT Pertamina’s upstream unit, stated it has recorded its largest exploration reserve discovery previously fifteen years.
For 2024, Pertamina Upstream Subholding Group’s 2C contingent recoverable assets reached 652 million barrels of oil equal (MMboe) or 2C oil rather than 1.75 billion barrels of oil equal (Bboe), together with present buildings reassessment evaluations, the corporate stated in a information launch.
The 2C contingent useful resource discovery represents a major improve in comparison with earlier years, marking a development of 34 p.c, in contrast with the 2023 determine of 488 MMboe, Pertamina stated.

The contingent useful resource discovery was primarily pushed by the corporate’s excessive influence discovery on the Tedong (TDG)-001 effectively, which holds 548 billion cubic toes of gasoline of 2C recoverable assets and 13.51 million barrels of condensate inside the Pertamina EP Working Space, operated by PHE’s affiliate, PT Pertamina EP Cepu, in Area IV Zone 13, in accordance with the discharge.
The drilling of the Tedong (TDG)-001 effectively is a part of a frontier space exploration initiative throughout 5 key areas: East Wolai (EWO)-001, West Wolai (WWO)-001, Julang Emas (JLE)-001, Yaki Emas (YKE)-001, and Tedong (TDG)-001. The initiative goals to verify the hydrocarbon potential of the Minahaki and Tomori Formation Limestone, Pertamina stated.
One other important discovery in Padang Pancuran (PPC)-1, positioned administratively in South Sumatra inside the Jambi Merang Working Space, additional contributed to the 2C contingent assets realization within the Pertamina Upstream Subholding Group final 12 months. The PPC-1 effectively, drilled to a depth of three,750 toes (1,143 meters), recorded 140.6 MMboe of 2C recoverable assets, the corporate said.
PHE accomplished drilling 22 exploration wells in 2024. Moreover, PHE carried out a 2D seismic survey masking 769 kilometers and a 3D seismic survey spanning 4,990 sq. kilometers.
“This achievement is concrete proof of our exploration staff’s dedication and exhausting work, in addition to our shut collaboration with SKK Migas and the Ministry of Vitality and Mineral Assets (ESDM). These efforts contribute to nationwide oil and gasoline manufacturing, supporting the imaginative and prescient of power self-sufficiency and nationwide power safety,” Director of Exploration at PHE, Muharram Jaya Panguriseng, stated.
The invention “marks a major milestone in PHE’s mission to extend nationwide oil and gasoline reserves and assist the federal government’s power self-sufficiency program underneath the Asta Cita initiative,” in accordance with the discharge.
In the meantime, Pertamina New & Renewable Vitality (Pertamina NRE) and PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI) have formally partnered to develop a undertaking aiming to transform flare gasoline to energy on the Balongan refinery in West Java.
“This initiative aligns with our imaginative and prescient to optimize present power assets whereas considerably decreasing carbon emissions,” Pertamina NRE CEO John Anis stated.
The Flare Fuel to Energy undertaking goals to seize waste gasoline that may in any other case be flared into the environment. The captured gasoline is then processed by means of a purification system and directed to a gasoline turbine or energy generator. The ensuing power is used for refinery operations or fed into the ability grid, in accordance with a separate launch.
KPI President Director of KPI Taufik Aditiyawarman said that, by means of the undertaking, KPI has the potential to scale back CO2 emissions by 80,000 tons of CO2 equal per 12 months, lower broiler gasoline consumption by greater than 2.5 million commonplace cubic toes per day), and obtain gas value financial savings of over $9 million yearly.
