Sharing Biogenic Gas Play to Komite Eksplorasi Nasional

On last Friday, it was  20 Novenber 2015,   13.30 - 15.00 hours,  I brought two geoscience team presenting about biogenic hydrocarbon play to National Exploration  Committee ( KEN ) 

The first presentation was our experience with biogenic gas play in Bentu-Korinci block in Central Sumatera Basin. The title was very interesting : Turns Hazards into Gold. In the past the shallow gas in Bibio formation was always avoided by previous operatir drilling as it was considered as drilling hazards. Previous operator  experience blowout several time but during our operation we could manage drilling operation well. So we successfully drilling several well and now we produce 54 mmscfd of biogenic gas. The reservoir producing capacity is even higher as it will increase to 100 mmscfd in 2017. 

The second presentation was from our other subsidiary Kangean Energy Indonesia in East Java. This operator produced biogenic gas from Paciran sandstone around 250 mmscfd from Terang Field. It will go to next phase to produce from Sirasun and Batur field next year. 

Another field in Kangean Block to produce biogenic gas is from Lower Rancak member in Pagerungan field. 

The meeting was attended by team of Lemigas groscientist who will be assigned by KEN to conduct biogenic play research.
