Over three days, the MCI Renewables booth became more than just an exhibition space, but also a meeting point for dialogue, exchange of ideas, and emerging collaboration opportunities.

A Strong Opening Message

On the first day, MCI Renewables highlighted geothermal energy as a vital long-term solution for Indonesia’s energy transition.

The booth drew a diverse crowd of government officials, developers, investors, and academics. Notably, representatives from PLN visited to discuss policy directions, and strategies for accelerating the utilisation of Indonesia’s vast geothermal potential.

Key Milestone on the Second Day

The second day marked a significant milestone as a delegation from Mitsui & Co. Ltd., visited the booth to gain deeper insight about the company’s vision and portfolio.

Representatives from Mitsui engaged in direct discussions with MCI Renewables’ management team, exploring potential collaborations, investment opportunities, and the latest developments in Indonesia’s geothermal industry.

This engagement reflects the growing global interest in Indonesian geothermal development as a strategic opportunity.

An Optimistic Conclusion

The final day concluded with a reflective yet optimistic atmosphere. For MCI Renewables, IIGCE 2025 was not a finish line, but the start of a broader journey in supporting Indonesia’s energy future.

Participation was not merely about showcasing the company’s vision and portfolio but also about building networks, strengthening cross-sector collaboration, and reaffirming commitment to the realisation of geothermal projects across Indonesia.

Well Control Training Ahead of Drilling Project

In preparation for the upcoming oil well drilling project by Pertamina EP in Bekasi Regency, all prospective crew members assigned to Rig Harmand#01 participated in a Well Control training program.

Known as PETROL (Pertamina Well Control), the training is mandatory for all personnel involved in the drilling of PDL-C.

The session serves as a critical step to ensure readiness and safety compliance in the field.

The two-day training was held in Cirebon, focusing on equipping participants with the essential knowledge and procedures required for well-controlled safety.

This session aimed to train and refresh the crew’s ability to handle potential blowouts, one of the most serious risks in drilling operations.

Prioritizing Safety and Readiness

The training was attended by a select group of crew members who will be directly involved in operating Rig Harmand#01.

It followed the completion of each participant’s Medical Check-Up (MCU) and was part of a broader preparation program that included competency assessments and technical briefings prior to field deployment.

Conducted by experienced practitioners from Pertamina EP Zone 7, Region 2, the training combined theoretical instruction with field simulations to improve crew responsiveness in emergency situations.

A Commitment to Industry Standards

A representative from Harmand’s management team emphasized that this training reflects the company’s strong commitment to upholding high safety standards in line with industry regulations.

The training also ensures that each crew member is technically and mentally prepared to begin the drilling operation with confidence and caution.

Preparation for Operations in Bekasi

Rig Harmand#01 is scheduled to begin operations soon as part of Pertamina EP’s oil well drilling project in Bekasi Regency.

This training marks a crucial early step in ensuring the entire project runs safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with operational procedures.

The qurban meat was then distributed to the local residents as part of the company’s commitment to building harmonious relationships with the surrounding community.

In addition to its spiritual and social significance, the qurban also coincided with the start of Harmand’s latest project, which is scheduled to begin in late June 2025.

The qurban ceremony also served as a hopeful symbol of a positive beginning for the success of the upcoming project.

Through activities like this, PT Harmand Intimarin Indonesia hopes to continuously nurture the values of togetherness, gratitude, and social responsibility alongside the company’s growth.
