INFOKU, BLORA – The Regionally-Owned Enterprise (BUMD) PT Blora Patra Energi (BPE) has not yet started operations, even though it has officially obtained the rights to manage the people's oil wells.
The state-owned company is still waiting for investors to come forward to support the management of the people's oil wells in Blora.
BPE Commissioner Dasiran stated that his agency continues to push for accelerated operational management of community oil wells. However, the technical implementation rests entirely with the board of directors.
"There are three things we're pushing for. First, certainty about the number of wells to be managed. Second, completion of permitting. Third, bringing in investors who will partner with BPE," he said.
According to Dasiran, no investors have officially partnered with BPE to date. However, several parties have explored investment opportunities in managing community oil wells in Blora.

"So far, no investors have entered into a partnership. However, several parties are exploring the opportunity," he said.
He added that all technical matters, including the operational start schedule, were the responsibility of the board of directors.
Therefore, the commissioners can only provide encouragement and supervision so that the ongoing process can be completed immediately.
Dasiran hopes that BPE can soon follow the lead of two other business entities that have already started managing people's oil wells.
According to him, the operational acceleration will provide economic benefits for both companies and local governments.

"If operations run smoothly and the company's revenue increases, it will certainly have an impact on local revenue (PAD) through dividends distributed to the Blora Regency Government," he added.
Based on existing data, BPE has the potential to manage 509 community oil wells spread across 17 villages in nine sub-districts.
However, most of them are still well points awaiting further drilling and development.
This condition means that the potential for people's oil production in Blora cannot be utilized optimally.
