Sudah sekitar 2 pekan rencana work over dipersiapkan oleh pihak Lapindo.

Mulai dari persiapan alat berat sudah dikirim ke lokasi. Para pekerja teknik dibidang work over dari berbagai mitra perusahaan Lapindo sudah dikerahkan. Mulai perizinan ke warga hingga kepala desa setempat. Hingga pemberitahuan dari Forum Pimpinan Kecamatan Tulangan juga sudah dilakukan Lapindo.

Public Relation Manager Lapindo Brantas Inc Arief Setyo Widodo membenarkan bila di Desa Jiken Tulangan ada aktifitas work over. Work over tersebut merupakan program lanjutan tahun sebelumnya. “Sumur gas di Desa Jiken Tulangan itu disebut sumur Wunut 16. Program itu merupakan program lanjutan kemarin. Dari 11 sumur, masih tinggal 3 sumur yang belum di work over. Yakni sumur Wunut 16 (Desa Jiken) yang saat ini mulai proses dikerjakan. Dua sumur lainnya, sumur Wunut 15 lokasinya di Desa Persawahan Porong dan sumur Wunut 7 lokasinya di Desa Waung Krembung.

Ditanya mengenai produksi gas Lapindo, apakah ada peningkatan atau kemrosotan, Yoyok mengatakan produksinya masih stabil tetap seperti tahun kemarin. Yakni sekitar 5 MMSCFD. Saat ini, Lapindo mengelola 30 sumur gas yang tersebar di Kecamatan Tanggulangin, Krembung, dan Porong. Namun, dari 30 sumur itu, hanya 14 sumur yang masih produktif.

Dari 14 sumur produktif, sebanyak 11 sumur berada di Wunut, Kecamatan Porong, dengan produksi gas total 3 MMSCFD. Adapun tiga sumur lagi berada di Kecamatan Tanggulangin dengan produksi gas mencapai 5 MMSCFD. Dalam pengerjaan work over, ada yang mengandung limbah B3 (Bahan Berbahaya Beracun). Seperti bak besi dan bak plastik. Jika diminta  warga bagaimana? Untuk limbah yang mengandung B3 pihak Lapindo tidak akan mengijinkan untuk diminta oleh warga.

Limbah B3 akan dibuang dan dikirim ke Bandung untuk dimusnahkan. Memang bila dijual harganya mahal, tapi resikonya Lapindo yang bertanggung jawab, kata Yoyok. Lapindo akan memperbolehkan limbah diminta oleh warga, namun yang tidak berbahaya bagi lingkungan. Pernah terjadi disekitar desa Wunut Porong, limbah bak itu dibuat bak mandi. Karena masih mengandung B3, tubuh warga melepuh. Lapindo yang bertanggung-jawab, dari pengalaman itu, kami tidak membolehkan untuk diminta warga.
