Indonesia Energy Corporation said it has completed key pre-drilling activities for two planned onshore wells at its Kruh Block in Sumatra, keeping the company on track to begin drilling before the end of first-quarter 2026.

The wells, designated K-29 and WK-5, are expected to be drilled back-to-back. Indonesia Energy reported that drilling pads have been constructed, wellheads and drilling equipment delivered, and a rig selected and undergoing inspection. Government approvals for drilling explosives have also been secured, with materials transported to a designated storage facility.

The 64,000-acre Kruh Block is one of the company’s core assets in Indonesia. Indonesia Energy said it will provide additional operational updates as drilling activities commence.
