Bojonegoro (30/05/2020) – Another achievement step was achieved by PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PT Pertamina EP Cepu) in the Jambaran-Tiung Biru (JTB) Gas Project, by successfully completing the completion stage in the Jambaran East Wellpad drilling activity, which was carried out from 6 April – May 25, 2020.
The completion stage is the process of installing tubing (production pipes) and all its accessories, including the X-Mass Tree to regulate the flow of gas production later. The wells that have been completed and are ready to be perforated in the production zone include 4 (four) wells at Wellpad Jambaran East, namely JAM -3, JAM-4ST, JAM-5ST and Jam-8. The perforation work will be carried out in a Rigless Operation (not using a rig).
President Director of PT Pertamina EP Cepu Jamsaton Nababan stated “This completion is an important stage of the development of the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Gas Field well, because the well has entered the final phase before producing gas. We hope that this follow-up operation will run safely and smoothly, in accordance with our commitment to safety standards. For that we ask for prayers so that the JTB Project runs safely, safely and smoothly until the on-stream target is achieved in 2021, “said Jamsaton.
This was reinforced by Drilling Operations Manager Dhanar Eko Prasetyo, who explained that in carrying out this activity, PT Pertamina EP Cepu remained obedient and cared about the applicable safety standards. “After this completion, we will carry out Rig Move activities or move rigs from Jambaran East to Jambaran Central, starting on May 25, 2020 with the target to start drilling operations at JAM-6 and JAM-7 wells in June 2020. In carrying out the work, We choose to work safely, ensuring the safety of every worker involved. Alhamdulillah, safe working hours at the Drill Site have reached 934,830 as of May 28, 2020.” he concluded
Safe working hours are an important part of the PT Pertamina EP Cepu-operated JTB Project. Overall PT Pertamina EP Cepu has reached 17,391,921 Happy Working Hours.
This activity is a series of several previous major activities that have been successfully carried out previously, such as the Installation of Selexol Regenerator and Absorber. From the wells in the JTB Gas Field, PT Pertamina EP Cepu targets to produce gas and condensate with an average raw gas production of 315 MMSCFD and a target on-stream gas in 2021 with gas sales of 192 MMSCFD.
