Oil Production – Gentle Indonesian Way


I received this presentation file. At first glance, I thought it was a hoax, putting down the level of Indonesian HSE while carrying out sophisticated oil production operations.

Turns out I was looking at it the wrong way. This is an example of creative thinking, increasing net income without increasing the normal risk Indonesians are exposed to. Now, if we could do the same thing to those dead wells in Miri. Malaysia. Heck, anyone want to join me and see if the Grand Old Lady of Miri has some spunk left in her?

    Do you know this was the technology the dutch left during the colonial days?

    As a matter of fact, Pangkalan Brandan in sumatra was where the first Shell well was drilled, way back in the 1800. There is an active pertamina facility there with another operator starting adjacent to it.
