Indonesia Maintains Oil Production Target at 605,000 Barrels Per Day

Government Reports Slightly Exceeding 2025 Target

Indonesia's Energy and Mineral Resources Minister, Bahlil Lahadalia, reported that the country is on track to meet its 2025 oil production target of 605,000 barrels per day. As of October 2025, Indonesia has achieved an average oil production of 605.8 thousand barrels per day, slightly above the target set in the 2025 State Budget (APBN).

Challenges with Aging Oil Wells

The minister acknowledged that maintaining this production level is challenging due to the aging nature of Indonesia's oil wells. Despite these challenges, the government remains committed to achieving the production target through various measures. The achievement demonstrates the government's efforts to optimize oil production from existing fields while facing the natural decline associated with mature oil wells.

Implications for Energy Sector

Meeting the oil production target is crucial for Indonesia's energy security and economic stability. The successful achievement so far indicates positive momentum, though sustained efforts will be required to maintain this level throughout 2025. The government faces the ongoing challenge of balancing production maintenance with the need for new exploration and investment in the energy sector.
