Pertamina EP reported in late July 2020 that wildcat Akasia Prima 1 (AKP-1), in the Jawa Bagaian Barat (JBB) PPC, located offshore in West Java, has made oil and gas discovery. The well has probably completed operation however test results have not been reported.  In mid-July 2020, local media reported the well was undergoing drill stem test (DST). Spudded in late April 2020, the well reached a total depth of around 2,560 m in mid-June 2020 and was likely targeting the Eocene-Oligocene Jatibarang Formation as well as Lower-Upper Cibulakan Group. Pertamina reported pre-drill resources (P50) of around 75 MMbo and 10.3 Bcfg.  In 1H 2020, the operator plugged and abandoned Akasia Besar 2 (ASB-2) and Akasia Besar 3 (ASB-3) as dry wells in the block. ASB-3 was targeting the volcaniclastics zone of the Jatibarang Formation and had a planned total depth of 2,700m. The operator recovered a core section in ASB-2, for the purpose of assessing the quality of the reservoir.  In 2016, the operator via contractor Elnusa, acquired a 1,120 sq km 3D seismic survey. The seismic data was acquired to improve the definition of reservoir distribution in the area.  ASB-3 was the first appraisal well drilled in the Akasia Besar field which was discovered in 2012. The discovery well Akasia Besar 1 reportedly flowed over 2,200 bo/d and 0.8 MMcfg/d from two DSTs conducted on a carbonate reservoir of the Middle-Upper Miocene Upper Cibulakan Group. It is understood that the first two tests conducted on the Jatibarang Formation did not flow.  The Akasia Besar 1 well was brought onstream through a put on production (POP) scheme in 2013.  Pertamina is operator and sole interest holder in the JBB PPC.
