INFOKU, BLORA – One of the four well points in the area will be explored.
The Blora DPRD encourages this potential to be developed by Blora Patra Energi (BPE), one of the regionally owned enterprises (BUMD).
BPE is suggested to be more innovative, so that it does not only become a service for transporting oil in old wells.
Blora DPRD Commission B Yuyus Waluyo said he had invited BPE to explore four new wells in the area.
And encourage these BUMDs to take advantage of opportunities and be more innovative in managing these natural resources.
"We fully support the exploration plan at the four points, especially for BPE," he explained.

Yuyus explained, prior to the exploration process, the regency government must pay attention to the value obtained from oil mining results.
He warned that the regions would get the portion they deserved. So that it can increase the regional original income (PAD).
"We must pay attention to what kind of cooperation with investors, so that the benefits obtained by the regions can be optimal," he said.
Oil Transportation Services
According to the Nasdem Party politician, Natural Resources in the form of oil is a real potential in the region and must be optimized. So, he asked BPE to play an active role, because BPE is a BUMD managing oil in old wells in the region.
"BPE must be innovative, don't just rely on revenue from oil transportation services in old wells, because oil in the area is certainly available, so BPE can manage it optimally," he said.
From his calculations, BPE's revenue from just oil transportation services alone could reach hundreds of millions. This potential can be optimized if BPE participates in managing it, such as conducting exploration on its own, in collaboration with local residents around the mine.
He pushed for revenue and media transparency to control the performance of all BUMDs.
"So it's not only third parties managing it, of course communication must go down the field with mining groups," he explained.
According to Yuyus, management of old oil wells must be fully owned by regional shares or funds.
Currently, regional regulations (perda) on capital participation for BUMD are also being finalized, because last year the regional regulations had not been approved.
"Regional regulations on capital participation could not be ratified last year, because there was no agreement in the special committee," he explained.
Meanwhile, BPE Director Triharjianto, when confirmed by journalists regarding the management of old wells and the potential for old wells at the four points to be explored, has not yet provided an answer. ( Endah / IST )
