"We believe that the sustainability of PHI-Regional 3 Kalimantan's operations and business greatly depends on safety performance and compliance with all applicable regulations and laws," said Sunaryanto.

"We will continue to carry out safe, reliable, environmentally friendly oil and gas operations, and implement best practices in the national and global oil and gas industry to maintain production levels of onshore and offshore oil and gas fields in the Kalimantan region," he explained.

He stated that PHI will continue to invest in exploration and exploitation drilling to discover new resources, increase reserves, and maintain the sustainability of production from mature oil and gas fields. Sunaryanto believes that the government, society, and all other stakeholders will continue to provide the necessary support to the Company.
