BP normalizing Java gas operation<\/p>\n
SINGAPORE: The Indonesian unit of BP PLC (BP) is working
\ntoward normalizing its Pagerungan natural gas operations in East
\nJava after a mechanical problem prompted the producer to shut
\nfive wells for at least three days, a company said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A problem with the hydraulic line, linked to five gas
\nproducing wells, detected \"Thursday or Friday\" prompted BP to
\nshut the wells as a safety precaution, said Budiman Parhusip,
\nvice president for BP's East Java gas marketing.<\/p>\n
The affected wells were earlier repaired after a gas leakage
\nlate December, Budiman said.<\/p>\n
Current gas production from all 14 Pagerungan wells is pegged
\nat 150 million standard cubic feet a day, and it is expected to
\nrise back up to 180 mmscf\/d in \"two to three days,\" he said.<\/p>\n
The shut-in had reduced gas supply to 100 mmscf\/d over the
\nweekend, he said. BP is still conducting well inspections after
\nresuming operations Monday at the five wells, he added. -- Dow
