JAKARTA - Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia inaugurated Djoko Siswanto as Head of the Special Task Force for Upstream Oil and Gas Business Activities (SKK Migas) replacing Dwi Soetjipto.

"Sqaya thinks Mr. Joko is a good person. I think that's what I need to convey, congratulations once again, compact, build a compact team," Bahlil said in his remarks at the inauguration of the Head of SKK Migas, Thursday, November 7.

Bahlil said that the inauguration of the Head of SKK Migas this time was the first time it had been carried out at night. He reasoned that this shows that the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources has never slept in order to increase the lifting of Indonesian oil which is still at 600,000 BOPD.

In his remarks, Bahlil also assigned Joko to cut down a number of regulations that were considered to be able to hinder oil lifting.

"Arrangkas semua aturan dan koordinasi yang mengambat eksplorasi atau untuk meningkatkan lifting. Sampaikan kepada saya dan kita selesaikan bersama-sama. Ada Pak Dirut Pertamina, ini luar biasa," kata dia.
