The working area covers parts of Jambi and South Sumatra provinces. The block is a defined working area with a multipolygon boundary rather than a single point location.</p><h2>Ownership and Operatorship</h2><p>The Jambi Merang Block is operated by PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Jambi Merang,which holds 100% interest. PHE Jambi Merang signed a gross split cooperation contract with SKK Migas and received a 20-year extension to continue operating the Jambi Merang working area.</p><h2>Development History</h2><table><colgroup><col/><col/><col/></colgroup><tbody><tr><th>Milestone</th><th>Year</th><th>Details</th></tr><tr><td>Discovery milestone</td><td>2001</td><td>The project is identified with a discovery year of 2001.</td></tr><tr><td>Development milestone</td><td>2019</td><td>PHE Jambi Merang continued operations under a 20-year contract extension beginning 10 February 2019.</td></tr><tr><td>Recent status milestone</td><td>2024</td><td>The project remained operating,with continuing exploration and production activity in the Jambi Merang working area.</td></tr></tbody></table><p>A significant milestone was the contract extension beginning February 10,2019. Indonesia’s Directorate General of Oil and Gas stated that PHE Jambi Merang signed a gross split cooperation contract with SKK Migas and continued operations across Jambi and South Sumatra provinces,with work commitments including geological and geophysical studies,seismic surveys,and exploration drilling.</p><h2>Infrastructure and Facilities</h2><p>Tripatra identifies the Jambi Merang gas production facilities as a gas field development appointed by a joint operating body between PT Pertamina and Hess in 2007. The facility has a 120 MMSCFD capacity and produces processed gas for use as fuel for power plants. Project sites include Sungai Kenawang Central Gas Plant and Pulau Gading Field Station. Facilities include wellsite facilities,fluid cooling and separation,mercury removal,triethylene glycol dehydration,produced-water systems,carbon dioxide removal,molecular sieve dehydration,LPG recovery,gas compression,condensate stabilization,NGL storage,hot oil systems,gas turbine power generation,fire-water systems,demineralized water,and water treatment systems.</p><h2>Production and Reserves</h2><p>Global Energy Monitor lists remaining recoverable crude oil and condensate reserves of 21.75 million barrels for 2023,remaining gas reserves of 9,939.27 million cubic metres for 2023,and an estimated ultimate recovery of 190.0 million barrels of oil equivalent. Hydrocarbon production in 2022 was 7.91 million barrels of oil equivalent per year. PHE Jambi Merang produces gas and condensate,with main operations in Bayung Lencir,Musi Banyuasin,South Sumatra. The PPC-01 well at Padang Pancuran was brought onstream after approval from SKK Migas in March 2025,with production reported at 451.42 BOPD as of December 26,2025. This is a well-level figure,not the entire block’s production rate.</p><h2>Recent Developments</h2><p>Recent activity at Jambi Merang has focused on exploration commitments,seismic work,and new production. Firm work commitments included geological and geophysical studies,seismic surveys,and exploration drilling. Cumulative additional investment through 2024 was US$239.3 million for exploration and exploitation,with US$196.5 million for exploration. 3D seismic work inside the block covered 237 square kilometres across South Sumatra and Jambi. In late 2025,the PPC-01 well at Padang Pancuran received Put on Production approval from SKK Migas and produced 451.42 BOPD,above the initial target of 400 BOPD.</p><h2>Related Topics</h2><ul><li><p>Indonesia upstream oil and gas</p></li><li><p>South Sumatra Basin</p></li><li><p>Jambi Merang Block</p></li><li><p>PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Jambi Merang</p></li><li><p>SKK Migas production sharing contracts</p></li><li><p>Onshore gas processing facilities</p></li><li><p>Sungai Kenawang Central Gas Plant</p></li><li><p>Pulau Gading Field Station</p></li><li><p>Gas dehydration and mercury removal</p></li><li><p>Condensate stabilization</p></li><li><p>LPG and NGL recovery</p></li><li><p>Mature field production optimization</p></li><li><p>Near-field exploration</p></li><li><p>Padang Pancuran PPC-01</p></li></ul><h2>Sources</h2><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.gem.wiki/Jambi_Merang_Block_Oil_and_Gas_Project_(Indonesia)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Global Energy Monitor: Jambi Merang Block Oil and Gas Project</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://migas.esdm.go.id/post/survei-seismik-jambi-merang-menteri-arifin-harap-temukan-cadangan-baru" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Indonesia Directorate General of Oil and Gas: Jambi Merang Seismic Survey and Work Commitments</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.tripatra.com/en/projects/gas-production-facilities-for-jambi-merang-development" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tripatra: Gas Production Facilities for Jambi Merang Development</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://jambi.antaranews.com/berita/643075/phe-jambi-merang-tutup-2025-dengan-capaian-on-stream-ppc-01-lampaui-target-wamen-esdm-beri-apresiasi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ANTARA News Jambi: PHE Jambi Merang PPC-01 Onstream Update</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://phe.pertamina.com/en/investor-relations/annual-reports" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PT Pertamina Hulu Energi: Annual Reports</a></p></li></ul>
