Page 1 of 2 JAKARTA - PT Medco E & P Indonesia and the Research and Development Department of Energy and Mineral Resources to agree on joint research, development, technological services to increase the performance of CBM production five CBM wells in the Field Rambutan, South & Central Block (S & C), Sumatra.
Senior Manager of Relations Aditya Mandala said the development of coal bed methane or CBM is one way out of the declining number of national oil and gas production. In regard to the effort to support the program, he said, Medco E & P became one of the national oil company since the beginning bekera with the government for the development of CBM. "One of our support through the signing of a memorandum of understanding to complete drilling activities and improve the production performance of five (5) CBM wells in the Work Area Rambutan," he said in a press release today. According to him, a joint study will include various activities including the evaluation and determination of technical parameters and the potential CBM reserves in Rambutan, the model determines the operating economics of CBM concessions in Indonesia, and also cooperation in research and technology services CBM development. "CBM has can be sold directly as natural gas, used as raw materials and energy industries. CBM exploitation will not change the quality of the coal matrix, but instead profitable coal miners, due to methane gas has been utilized so that the layer betubara be safe to be mined. " Based on testing performed Lemigas on five test wells, potential reserves and production of CBM is estimated Rambutan large field. Field Rambutan is one of the CBM field in South Sumatra Basin, which is predicted to have potential at 183 tcf of CBM. Based on the results of laboratory analysis, it is known that the gas produced has a methane content ranging from 93% - 97%. Currently a pilot project five CBM wells have started to issue coal methane gas. In other developments, Kangean Energy Indonesia will conduct drilling five development wells on the Ground Light Sirasun Batur located in the Kangean PSC, East Java, began in October 2010. Vice President (VP) Human Resource & Administration, Kangean Is Nugroho said drilling plan can be done as they have gained facility Floating Production Unit (FPU) to produce gas in the field. With development, he said, Kangean gas production currently around 25 MMscfd MMScfd could be increased to 300 in early 2012. "Targeted production can be achieved early in 2012," he said as quoted by BP Migas official site today. Currently, he said, Kangean also built along the 28 kilometer pipeline from the FPU to the East Java gas pipeline. "This project took two months." Gas from the TSB, he said, will be distributed to several purchasers of gas in East Java, such as PT PLN, PT Petrokimia Gresik, PT Petrogas, and PT Pertagas. (Mrp) By: Rudi Arifianto (Bisnis.com)
