Indonesia’s Saka Energi, an indirect subsidiary of Pertamina, has launched a tender for a jack-up drilling unit to work on two domestic offshore blocks.
The company is preparing a 12-month drilling campaign that will cover wells on its Pangkah block off East Java and the Pekawai block in waters offshore East Kalimantan.
To execute this programme, the Indonesian operator is running a prequalification process for a contract package that will include the jack-up rig together with associated equipment, manpower and materials needed to support drilling on both blocks.
Saka Energi holds a 100% operated stake in the exploration block of Pekawai, located in the Kutei basin. The player also owns all equity in the Pangkah block, a more mature asset that hosts producing fields including the West Pangkah field and Sidayu.
Interested contractors are required to register electronically and obtain the prequalification documents by 15.00 local time / 08.00 GMT.
Back in 2018, Saka Energi secured two Indonesian blocks — West Yamdena, spanning onshore and offshore areas of Maluku, and Pekawai — after both blocks had been on offer in the prior year’s licensing round.
