The company said on June 24, 2024 that new 3D seismic work has started at its 63,000-acre Kruh Block in South Sumatra, with the first new production well planned for the fourth quarter of 2024 once the data is evaluated. It also said environmental permits were granted for its 650,000-acre Citarum Block on Java, with seismic planned for late 2024 or early 2025 and drilling planned for next year. This continues the Kruh story after the September 2023 contract extension with Pertamina (to September 2035, raising the company's after-tax profit split from 15% to 35%) and the 2022 gas discovery, and starts exploration work at Citarum. All plans and the Citarum resource estimate (over one billion barrels of oil equivalent) are management's forward-looking statements, not results.
