Indonesia Energy Commences Drilling of Second of Three Back-to-Back Wells

New drilling paves way for commencement of additional production at Kruh Block

JAKARTA, INDONESIA and DANVILLE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 25, 2021 / Indonesia Energy Corporation Limited (NYSE American:INDO) (IEC), an oil and gas exploration and production company focused on Indonesia, today announced that the company has commenced the drilling of the second of three new back-to-back wells on its 63,000-acre Kruh Block.

This commencement of drilling is part of IEC's overall previously announced plan to drill a total of 18 new wells on the Kruh Block over the next 3 years.

This second well (named "Kruh-26") commenced drilling on Sunday, August 22 at 1:00 p.m. on Sumatra Island. The well has a target total depth of 3,400 feet, and it is expected to take approximately 60 days to complete all drilling operations.

IEC anticipates this well will cost approximately $1.5 million to drill and complete. Based on the terms of IEC's contract with the Indonesian government and an assumed oil price of $63.50/barrel, this well is expected to generate approximately $3.3 million in net revenue in its first year, which is more than double the cost to drill such well.

The Kruh Block is located on Sumatra Island. IEC is already producing oil from 4 existing wells at Kruh Block.

Mr. Frank Ingriselli, IEC's President, commented "We are excited to commence drilling our second new well on the Kruh Block. This new well, which we have the cash to drill, has the potential to additionally grow production and cash flow for our company, especially when coupled with our recent discovery well "Kruh-25". We believe the Kruh Block is a great asset that should significantly grow our cash flow as we continue to seek to maximize returns on our investments and grow shareholder value."
