Strengthening Chemical EOR Business, Pertamina Collaborates with Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd
Pertamina and Daqing Oilfield signed an MOU to strengthen the EOR business to increase oil production, with a target of 1 million barrels per day by 2030.
PT Pertamina (Persero) collaborated with oil and gas company Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd., to strengthen its Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) business or increase oil production by using chemical injection into rock layers that contain oil and natural gas (reservoirs). The synergy was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) held at Grha Pertamina, Jakarta, on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
Senior Vice President of Technology Innovation & Implementation of PT Pertamina (Persero) Hana Timoti revealed that Chemical EOR is one of Pertamina’s efforts to increase Pertamina’s oil production. Because the wells are mature, there needs to be an effort to increase petroleum production. The first injection is expected to be carried out this year at Pertamina Hulu Rokan. “Daqing Oilfield has a track record and competence in the field of chemical EOR, so this collaboration is expected to help increase oil production in Pertamina’s work area,” said Hana.
The signing was carried out by Senior Vice President of Technology Innovation & Implementation of PT Pertamina (Persero) Hana Timoti with Vice President of Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd., CNPC Fang Junling. The MOU will last for five years. “The development of EOR takes time to obtain results that are in line with the target. Hopefully, this collaboration will provide optimal results for the addition of Pertamina’s oil products in the future,” he added.
VP of Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd., CNPC Fang Junling revealed, after more than 60 years of exploration and development, Daqing Oilfield has created a number of technologies. So it is hoped that with this technology, Daqing Oilfield will be able to synergize with Pertamina to achieve the goal of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day by 2030. “We want to share technology and capabilities to support Indonesia in achieving the goal of increasing oil and gas production by 1 million barrels per day by 2030. We believe Daqing’s technology is very suitable for the needs of oil development in Indonesia and hope to develop the value of mutual benefits,” he concluded.
Pertamina, as a leading company in the field of energy transition, is committed to supporting the Net Zero Emission 2060 target by continuing to encourage programs that have a direct impact on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). All of these efforts are in line with the implementation of Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) in all of Pertamina’s business lines and operations.
