Drilling activity in Indonesia

Indonesia’s upstream activity is spread across a vast archipelago and spans the full maturity spectrum. Sumatra and Kalimantan host long-producing onshore oil and gas fields where development, infill and workover drilling dominate, while the Makassar Strait offshore has become a focus for deepwater gas development. Operators including Pertamina, ENI, bp and Medco work across these settings, often through production-sharing contracts.

The regulator SKK Migas oversees upstream operations and cost recovery, and its documentation and local-content expectations shape how equipment is sourced and mobilized. The combination of mature onshore redevelopment and technically demanding deepwater gas means demand ranges from straightforward workover strings to high-specification offshore drilling tools.

What that means for the drill string

Mature onshore fields call for dependable conventional strings and ready fishing tools for re-entry and workover work, while deepwater Makassar Strait gas wells require premium-connection tubulars and carefully engineered directional BHAs. Some intervals carry CO₂ or H₂S exposure, making metallurgy a consideration on sour wells.

Sour intervals follow our sour-service tubular guidance.

Logistics and standards

Indonesia operates in metric units with API tubular specifications, and documentation is routed through SKK Migas and the operating PSC holders. Drillstrings inventory is inspected to DS-1 / API RP 7G-2 categories with serialized traceability, and we coordinate customs clearance, inter-island marine transport and inland delivery through vetted regional partners — essential across so dispersed a working area. We serve as an extension of an operator’s or drilling contractor’s rental fleet; see our global logistics guide and network.

FAQ

Renting in Indonesia

Do you rent drilling tools in Indonesia?
Yes. Drillstrings supplies inspected drill string and downhole rental tools across Indonesia, Indonesia through regional partners who handle in-country logistics, API 5DP-aligned certification and customs clearance.
What standards and units apply in Asia-Pacific?
Operations in Asia-Pacific typically work in metric (mm, kN·m, bar) and reference API 5DP, API 5CT, Petronas / PTTEP specs, NACE MR0175. We supply tubulars and documentation aligned to these requirements.
How fast can rental tools reach a rig in Indonesia?
Lead times depend on customs and freight, but our regional partners expedite delivery and we quote within the hour, 24/7. For sour or HPHT wells common in the area we confirm NACE MR0175 material availability up front.
Do you supply drill string for both onshore and offshore Indonesia?
Yes. We provide API-inspected drill pipe, drill collars, handling and fishing tools for mature onshore fields in Sumatra and Kalimantan as well as deepwater gas programs in the Makassar Strait, with documentation aligned to SKK Migas and operator requirements.
How do you handle logistics across the Indonesian archipelago?
We stage inspected, serialized tubulars through regional hubs and coordinate inter-island marine transport, customs and inland delivery with vetted partners, so equipment reaches remote onshore and offshore locations across the archipelago on schedule.
