Bahlil emphasized the government’s commitment to ramping up oil and gas production as part of a broader strategy to ensure energy security for Indonesia. The country’s ability to meet these targets is critical for reducing its reliance on imported energy, especially as Indonesia’s national consumption has steadily risen.

The plan to meet these ambitious targets comes in the context of broader economic goals, including the continued development of domestic energy resources and a shift towards more sustainable, efficient extraction techniques.

EOR technology, in particular, is seen as a key tool in unlocking more oil from aging fields, which would help Indonesia avoid further shortfalls.
While challenges persist in meeting production goals, the government remains committed to advancing Indonesia’s energy sector.

With the focus on maximizing the potential of existing fields and deploying new technologies, Indonesia is positioning itself to become more self-sufficient in oil production over the next few years.(Uki Ruknuddin)
