The spill started on July 12 when Pertamina was drilling at its YYA-1 well in the Offshore North West Java block, about 2 kilometres from the coastline in the Karawang district. Pertamina is drilling a 2,700-metre relief well to stop the spill, said Taufik Adityawarman, the incident commander for the project. The well had been drilled to 610m by Thursday and he expected the leak to be plugged in early October.
