Promoting Local Industry: 3M and PT Pipa Mas Putih Collaborate in Indonesia

This Week

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid the challenges of aging wells in Southeast Asia – particularly in depleting reservoirs and marginal reserves – the oil and gas industry faces serious issues such as declining productivity, erosion of sand screens, and increased operational and capital expenditure due to well repairs and design complexities. These conditions demand innovative, robust, efficient, and locally accessible technological solutions to support the enhancement and sustainability of oil and gas production.

In response to these challenges, 3M has partnered with PT Pipa Mas Putih to produce 3M™ Ceramic Sand Screens in Indonesia. This technology offers high resistance Sand Screen to abrasion and erosion, designed to tackle high-pressure wells and excessive sand production. Through the combination of 3M’s global expertise and PT Pipa Mas Putih’s local manufacturing capacity, this collaboration provides tangible added value in the form of faster delivery times, increased operational efficiency, and more reliable and durable screen performance.

In field implementation, 3M and PT Pipa Mas Putih are collaborating with Pertamina Hulu Mahakam to enhance productivity from marginal assets in Kalimantan. This innovation and strategic partnership has received international recognition through a nomination for the Oilfield Well Intervention (OWI) Global Awards 2025, with accolades for Best Example of Collaboration, Best Example of Downhole Innovation, and Best Example of Value Delivery in Aberdeen, UK.

The collaboration between 3M, Pertamina Hulu Mahakam, and PT Pipa Mas Putih demonstrates that synergy prioritizing global technology, national capability, and local innovation spirit can drive increased hydrocarbon production productivity, strengthen Indonesia’s energy industry independence, and contribute to regional energy resilience.

To see the 3M™ Ceramic Sand Screens firsthand, attend the Asia Pacific Oil & Gas Experts event from 14–16 October 2025 at Sheraton Gandaria City to join expert discussions on driving hydrocarbon production enhancements and strengthening energy infrastructure in Southeast Asia.
