There are 32 oil companies in Indonesia that will perform development drilling in 2020 with total number of development drilling plans are 395 comparison, there were 289 development wells in 2018 and 322 development wells in 2019 respectively were drilled and contributed to national oil and gas production. All development drilling activities are reported to Satuan Kerja Khusus Pelaksana Kegiatan Usaha Hulu Minyak dan Gas Bumi (SKK Migas) by the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) contractors in the form of spreadsheets. SKK Migas will then evaluate the development drilling performance to be used as references and for consideration in the drilling program approvals for the following year in the Work Program & Budget event. The evaluation includes important drilling parameters. During the last 3 years, SKK Migas has managed to collect data and actual report programs from all PSC’s. Based on that data, an evaluate was exercised and will be used as reference for the next development drilling program for the same PSC or other PSCs which has the similar subsurface challenges or operates in the same areas. This will therefore make a good engineering future plan and will achieve the efficiency of the drilling cost, and can be challenged to be more efficient and effective. For the future, these drilling parameter data will become as benchmark such as a cost/ft or cost/day per PSC per well which is already drilled in Indonesia. There will be more data for PSC’s when making a Plan of Development (POD) proposal from some areas which will be developed into a prospective targets for producing oil and gas, and will also enable SKK Migas to get effective calculations for the related economic issues. This paper will illustrate how SKK Migas manages development drilling program activities in Indonesia using spreadsheets. This paper also illustrates how historical data of actual performance is compared, evaluated and analyzed for future reference.
