JAKARTA: Energi Mega Persada (EMP), the country's second largest oil and gas producer, said Wednesday it had more than doubled output at its gas block in Sumatra.
EMP investor relations head Herwin Wahyu Hidayat told The Jakarta Post the Kerinci block in Riau had increased its production to 21 million cubic feet from 10 million cubic feet.
The additional output will be supplied to PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper, which has been receiving gas from EMP since December 2007, Herwin said.
The remaining gas will go to a power plant in Riau.
Herwin said the increase in output had raised the company's total gas production to 90 million cubic feet.
According to data provided by EMP, the company produced 80 million cubic of gas per day and 10,000 barrels of oil per day, or equal to 24,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day, in 2007.
The company hopes to increase oil and gas production by 35 percent this year to 32,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. -- JP
