LONDON – Indonesia’s government has awarded Premier Oil and partners Mubadala Petroleum and KrisEnergy the Andaman II license under the 2017 Indonesian License Round.
The concession is in the little explored but proven North Sumatra basin offshore Aceh.
Premier has identified various prospects and leads that exhibit direct hydrocarbon indicators on existing 2D seismic data, and sees this as a potentially strong gas play.

Tony Durrant, Premier’s CEO, said the award was in line with the company’s strategy of targeting “low-commitment, high-impact exploration in proven hydrocarbon provinces…”
