JAKARTA: The government aims to boost national oil output by tapping into community-operated oil wells, targeting an additional 15,000 barrels per day (bpd) by the end of the year.
The initiative follows the enactment of Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Regulation No. 14/2025, which formally legalises community wells and outlines a clear framework for cooperation with the upstream oil and gas industry.
