Pekanbaru, Riau, (Antarariau.com) - PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) said the Rokan oil and gas block is the country s oil and gas biggest producer.
"Most of CPI s oil and gas production comes from the Rokan oil and gas block which includes the Duri and Minas fields. Several other small oil and gas fields inside the Rokan Block play an important role in achieving the government s production target," CPI s Communication Manager for Sumatra Tiva Permata said.
Legislator M Lukman Edy of Commission VI of the House of Representatives (DPR) said PT CPI has struck a new oil reserve in Rokan Hilir District, Riau, which is believed to be the biggest in Southeast Asia.
Lukman made the statement in a discussion organized by the National Awakening Party Faction (FPKB) in Jakarta last weekend.
During the discussion, Lukman said Indonesia should not worry about oil trade deficit, as Chevron has released a finding of new oil reserve in Bagan Siapiapi desribed as the biggest in Southeast Asia.
When asked about the legislator s statement, Tiva Permata was reluctant to make any comment.
"We cannot comment on the statement of the legislator. But we can say that Chevron continues to cooperate with the government and the Indonesian people to consistently provide energy for the state," he said.
He said that CPI applied the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology to maintain and increase its oil production from old oil fields.
