Ifki Sukarya, Vice President Relations of PHE, explained that as of December 2019, the YYA Well had been carried out by plug and abandon and platform lifting.

However, until now it is still waiting for approval of the document on the Recovery of Life Functions in the affected area. Meanwhile, the Environmental Function Recovery Plan document is a series of activities handling contaminated land which includes planning, implementing, evaluating and monitoring activities to restore environmental functions caused by environmental pollution and/or environmental damage.

"It is hoped that by the end of 2021 it will be onstream," he said.

Meanwhile, Ifky said it was trying to complete the process of compensation payments for residents affected by oil and gas leaks. As for now, there is still a lot of citizen data that is not in accordance with the Population and Civil Registry Office data. 

     In addition, there are still two districts that have not yet implemented data collection for the second wave, namely Bekasi Regency and Karawang Regency.

"We hope to finish as soon as possible, depending on the Regency Government," he explained.

Previously, PHE through its subsidiary PT Pertamina Hulu Energi Offshore North West Java (PHE ONWJ), had completed the initial compensation payment for residents affected by oil spills in Karawang Regency and Bekasi Regency, West Java.
