Pertamina Drilling Deploys Four New Rigs to Boost Oil and Gas Production

PT Pertamina Drilling Services Indonesia (Pertamina Drilling) has bolstered its operational capacity by introducing four new mobile drilling rigs. This strategic move is aimed at significantly enhancing drilling performance, with a particular focus on meeting the well targets set by PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) in Riau province.

The newly acquired rigs are state-of-the-art, boasting a 350 horsepower (HP) capacity and a mobile design that optimizes operational flexibility in the field. A key feature is their fully electric operation, which reduces environmental impact. Equipped with joystick control systems, these rigs offer greater maneuverability, faster mobilization between sites, and ultimately, improved time and cost efficiency.

The rig is fully electric, more environmentally friendly, and uses a joystick system, making it more flexible in operation. Rig mobilization is faster, which ultimately increases time and cost efficiency.

Avep Disasmita, the President Director of Pertamina Drilling, highlighted that the mobile rig design facilitates quicker relocation between drilling locations compared to conventional rigs, thereby accelerating the overall drilling cycle. The addition of these four rigs underscores the company's commitment to supporting Pertamina Hulu Rokan's objectives and ensuring the sustained production of national oil and gas resources.

This initiative is presented as a tangible contribution by Pertamina Drilling towards achieving national energy independence. The company currently manages a fleet of 58 onshore rigs ranging from 300 to 2,000 HP, two offshore workover rigs with a 550 HP capacity, and three jack-up rigs through a strategic partnership with ADES. Beyond conventional drilling, Pertamina Drilling also offers over 16 types of associated drilling services via its Integrated Project Management (IPM) scheme, integrating advanced technologies and expertise for faster, more efficient, and safer drilling operations.
