Recently, state-owned PT Pertamina and Halliburton have established a partnership aimed at transforming resource extraction in Indonesian territory through a comprehensive memorandum of understanding for multistage hydraulic fracturing services.
Future Hydraulic Fracturing Services
The core of this cooperation lies in the use of multistage hydraulic fracturing and acid stimulation in onshore reservoirs requiring precise intervention. Pertamina seeks, under the direction of Simon A. Mantiri, to revitalize mature fields that require a new boost to their profitability.
To achieve this, the company will rely on Halliburton’s global capability to integrate artificial intelligence and closed-loop automation into field operations. This technical approach enables more efficient drilling and allows domestic production to regain a competitive pace.
Likewise, it is vital to understand that this move responds to a need for sustainable transformation in Indonesia’s upstream production. Martin White, from Halliburton’s vice presidency for Asia-Pacific, has made it clear that the goal is to maximize asset value through local subsurface knowledge enhanced by internationally proven methodologies.
The integration of advanced cementing services and new completion technologies ensures that each well reaches its maximum extractive potential in future energy projects.
To conclude this evaluation phase, I believe the success of this memorandum will depend on how quickly these technological solutions can be scaled in the selected reservoirs.
The pursuit of a reliable energy supply for Indonesia now appears to be in the hands of digital innovation and precision engineering. The path toward optimizing unconventional resources has officially begun.
