The Cepu Block production is projected to be higher this year compared to Rokan Block in Riau province, which has been the highest contributor to the national oil production so far. This year, Rokan Block, whose operatorship right will be handed over to Pertamina in 2021, is expected to produce 190,000 bopd, compared to 209,470 bopd last year.

BP Berau is expected to produce 188,000 boepd, lower than 192,000 boepd last year, Mahakam Block gas lifting is projected to reach 196,000 boepd, up from 149,000 boepd last year, ConocoPhillips at 145,000 boepd this year, while Muara Bakau reaching 115,000 boepd. Meanwhile, Pertamina’s oil and gas lifting this year is projected to reach 735,400 boepd, up from 724,890 boepd last year.
