KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas subsidiary PC Ketapang II Ltd has achieved its first hydrocarbon from a successful drilling at Bukit Tua phase 2B’s BTJTB-T2 well located within the Ketapang block, offshore east Java, Indonesia.

       Petronas said the BTJTB-T2 well was spudded on Sept 30, 2021 and was drilled with a target depth of 1,890m. Spudding is the process of beginning to drill a well in the oil and gas industry.
