INFOKU, BLORA –As reported previously, miners cannot mine oil in the old Ledok and Semanggi oil wells .
This is because they terminated their contract with Pertamina at the end of last February.
However, some time ago a resident discovered a crude oil spill .
It is suspected to be the result of illegal mining, so the police are still investigating.
PT. Blora Patra Energi ( PT BPE ) handed over the findings to be investigated by the authorities.
It is known that the crude oil spill occurred on the forest road between Dukuh Trisinan, Giyanti Village and Ledok Village, Sambong District , last Monday (17/3).
Crude oil puddles are seen at several points. There are traces of the crude oil spill being harvested by residents using plastic containers and straw to bind the oil.
One local resident, Rianto, said the oil spill is thought to have occurred in the early hours of the morning.
Some residents also had time to collect the oil spill that had flooded the road.
According to him, there was a truck carrying lantung that had gotten stuck.
Because it was not strong enough, the load was finally reduced, so that it flooded the road.
"So, as far as I know, there are people who take some. Some get four big jerrycans. It's not bad if it's sold in Wonocolo , it sells for Rp100 thousand per jerrycan," he said in a press statement.
