State oil and gas PT Pertamina revealed Sunday its plan to boost its oil production next year to 200,000 barrels per day (bpd), a 5.26 percent increase from 190,000 bpd in 2010.

“We will also raise our gas production from 1,450 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) to be 1,600 mmscfd,” Mochamad Harun, the spokesperson of Pertamina, told The Jakarta Post.

According Harun, the company will meet the target by maximizing oil and gas production from the existing blocks as well as the new blocks.

Currently, Pertamina operates 22 domestic oil and gas upstream assets and eight overseas oil and gas upstream assets.
