The bidding round was originally planned for launch in 2020 but was postponed due to the price fluctuation of global crude oil following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to ministry data, the six blocks on offer are estimated to have total recoverable resources of 917.93 million barrels of oil and 598.09 billion standard cubic feet of gas.
Indonesian Energy Ministry oil and gas director general Tutuka Ariadji was reported by Reuters as saying: “We will have more to be offered in the upcoming months. We already have some more working areas, but needed some fine-tuning.”
