Tunu is a mature giant gas and condensate field locate in Swamp Area on Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The field has been in developed for more than 40 years and considered as a mature field. As mature field, finding an economic well has become more challenging nowadays. The deeper zone of Tunu (TMZ) has no longer been considered profitable to be produced and the focus is shifted more on the producing widespread shallow gas pocket located in the much shallower zone of Tunu (TSZ). Facing the challenge of marginal reserves in the mature field, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam (PHM) take two approaches of reducing well cost thus increase well economics, improving drilling efficiency and alternative drilling means. Continues improvement on drilling efficiency by batch drilling, maxi drill, maximizing offline activities and industrialization of one phase well architecture has significantly squeezed the well duration. The last achievement is completing shallow well in 2.125 days from average of 6.5 days in period of 2017-2019. Utilization of Swamp Barge Drilling Rig on swamp area had been started from the beginning of the field development in 1980. Having both lighter and smaller drilling unit as alternative drilling means will give opportunity of reducing daily drilling rate. Hydraulic Workover Unit (HWU) comes as the best alternative drilling means for swamp area. In addition, fewer and smaller footprint equipment requires smaller barges with purpose of less civil works to dredge the river and preparing well location. Drilling with HWU project has been implemented at Tunu area with 5 wells has been completed successfully and safely. HWU drilling concept considered as proven alternative drilling means for the future of shallow wells development.

Abstract Tunu is a mature giant gas and condensate field locate in Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The field has been in development for almost 30 years and currently has been considered as a mature field where to put a state of an economic well has become more challenging nowadays. The deeper zone of Tunu has no longer been considered as profitable to be produced and the current focus is more on the widespread shallow gas pocket located in the much shallower zone of Tunu. One phase well is architecture without 9-5/8" surface casing. OPW is one-section drilling using a diverter mode from surface to TD without using BOP. Historical for OPW is began from 2018, where drilling reservoir section using diverter mode in two-phase. In 2018 also succeeded in performing perforated surface casing. Due successfully in drilling operation using diverter and perforated surface casing, in 2019 drilling trials for OPW were carried out. Until now, the OPW architecture has become one of the common architecture used in drilling operations as an optimization effort. Until December 2020 PHM has completed 15+ OPW wells. A general comparison of OPW and SLA well is at the cost of constructing a well of approximately 200,000 - 300,000 US$. The disadvantages of OPW wells are more expensive in the mud and cement section when using a 9-1/2" hole, but in terms of the duration, OPW drilling time is more efficient up to 2-3 days. If viewed from the integrity of the OPW wells, from 15 OPW wells that have been completed, only 2 of them have SCP.

Gas biogenik dikenal sebagai gas rawa atau gas dangkal yang terbentuk dari bakteri metanogenik pada lingkungan anaerobik, khususnya pada daerah-daerah yang tingkat sedimentasinya sangat tinggi.Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui secara lebih rinci akan keberadaan gas tersebut di Delta Mahakam. Sungai tersebut merupakan sungai terbesar dan terpanjang di wilayah Kalimantan Timur dan mempunyai tingkat sedimentasi sangat tinggi. Daerah tersebut sangat cocok untuk penelitian indikasi gas biogenik. Hasil penelitian ditandai dengan terdapatnya kantong gas pada rekaman strata box, yang berada pada kedalaman lebih dari 10 (sepuluh) meter. Berdasarkan analisis laboratorium terhadap sampel gas yang diambil di bekas lubang bor adalah gas metan.Kata kunci: rekaman strata box, gas metan, Delta MahakamBiogenic gas known as swamp gas or shallow gas formed by methanogenic bacteria in anaerobic environments, especially in areas that the sedimentation rate is very high. The objective of the research is to find out more detail the occurrence of gas in the Mahakam Delta. The river is the largest and longest river in the East Kalimantan, and it has a very high sedimentation rate.  This area is very good to study the indication of the biogenic gas. The result is signed by gas pocket in the strata box records, whereas at a depth of more than 10 (ten) meters. Based on the laboratory analysis of the samples taken from the former gas borehole is a methane gas.Keywords: strata box records, methane gas, Mahakam Delta.
