This year's 610,000 barrels of oil and gas effort can be achieved, although still facing many challenges.

Based on exposure to Treasury Deputy and Commercial SkK Migas Desti Melanti, lifting oil and condensate currently up to 578,600 barrels a day. That number is equal to about 95% of the targets in the income budget and the State Shopping (APBN) 2026.

"This is definitely still 2 months away, we're optimistic through some new elevator scenarios of course going to keep getting closer to that 2026 elevator target," Desti's in Jakarta, Tuesday (20 / 10 / 2026).

Desti said one of the challenges in the production of migas today is a decline in natural or natural decline production on a number of migas fields in the Fatherland.

Therefore, it takes an effort to withstand a massive rate of reduction in production through drilling activities.

"Therefore the biggest challenge is how do we attempt to suppress the natural decline of the decline which is too sharp through the massive drilling activity. And of course it's the main contribution to the activity of upriver migas which will have an impact on the increase in investment upriver," he said.

To encourage increased liftings, Desti assessed the certainty of law, investment, and fissures became an important factor. It is needed to attract investment and encourage investors to explore to find new migas reserves.

According to him, the attempt to reach a national production target also needs to be supported by adaptive commercial strategies. The approach used can no longer only rely on conservative patterns, but it needs to consider various strategic scenarios to optimize the acceptance of the country.

"And of course the commercial activity is not off with the presence of accountability and management that we continue to maintain in perpetuity. Therefore the role of the financing scheme in stimulating the activities was necessary and continued to be allowed to create synergy in ensuring that the activities could work," brilliant.
