"Drilling Geng North-1 well, which is a deepwater drilling, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to optimizing the potential of upstream oil and gas resources, even in the deep-sea areas. This reflects the promising attractiveness of investing in the national upstream oil and gas sector," Benny said on Saturday.
