Pertamina Hulu Rokan (PHR) continues to intensify strategic measures to boost national oil and gas production. President Director of PHR, Muhamad Arifin, emphasized that the company is currently focusing on Non-Conventional Oil and Gas (MNK) development through exploration at the Gulamo and Kelok wells. This initiative is crucial to offset the natural decline typical of mature oil wells.
In addition to new exploration, PHR is also implementing Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) techniques using domestic products. This technology is projected to boost production volume by up to 20 percent. Since its implementation in the Minas field in 2025, the injection has successfully delivered an additional production of 2,800 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), with an ambitious target of reaching 70,000 BOPD by 2028.
On the operational side, PHR has undergone a digital transformation through the Digital Innovation Center (DAS). This state-of-the-art facility enables centralized monitoring of all oil and gas activities involving 44,000 workers across 17 regencies in Riau. Through this system, operational efficiency and safety can be managed with greater precision.
In addition to focusing on increasing production, PHR remains firmly committed to the energy transition and national energy self-sufficiency. The company integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects into every line of its operations, including concrete steps to reduce CO2 carbon emissions as a form of environmental responsibility in the upstream oil and gas industry.
