JAKARTA - Pertamina's performance in the first semester of 2025 is considered in line with the spirit of the 80th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia. This positive achievement is also said to strongly support efforts to achieve energy self-sufficiency.
"Yes, of course. So, this is part of our efforts to create energy resilience in order to create energy self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency in the future," said member of Commission XII DPR RI, Eddy Soeparno, quoted Wednesday, August 13.
In addition to being able to maintain oil equivalent oil oil oil production of 1.04 million barrels, Eddy also believes that Pertamina will be able to continue to increase oil production and lifting. This condition, he added, could not be separated from Pertamina's findings on a number of reserves, which in the end will also contribute to supporting national economic growth.
The discovery shows that Pertamina's upstream activities in the field of exploration and drilling produce new reserves. This will increase the opportunity for Indonesia to be able to increase oil lifting in accordance with Indonesia's target to lift oil by 1 million barrels per day in 2030," explained Eddy.
According to Eddy, Pertamina's performance is also one of the milestones to achieve energy resilience and independence, especially in the oil and gas sector.
"Considering, we consume large crude oils of 1.6 million barrels per day today. While our production is slightly below 600 barrels per day," he said.
The same thing was expressed by the Executive Director and Executive Director of the Economic Society Network Institute, Acuviarta Kartabi. Acuviarta assessed that Pertamina's achievements were in line with the spirit of the 80th Indonesian Independence Day to support energy security, in energy self-sufficiency efforts.
"Yes, remind the theme of Mr. President Prabowo, namely inclusive and sustainable development as stated in the RPJM. So there is inclusivity, namely not only growth but also equity," he said.
According to Acuviarta, the achievement of BUMN energy contributes greatly to the national economy. This includes reducing the burden of the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN).
"I think it will be healthier, it will help reduce the burden of the state budget deficit. One of the most important things is that we are able to improve our energy management. This is Pertamina's very good contribution," he explained.
This condition, because of Pertamina's achievements, for the medium term, is believed to be able to reduce imports of fuel and crude oil. Thus, explained Acuviarta, there will be significant budget savings. Meanwhile, in the short term, it will have a positive impact on stock security efforts for fuel needs.

In addition, Pertamina also made a large contribution, both from taxes, PNBP, and dividends.
"That contribution will be maintained, even more can be increased," he concluded.
Previously, Pertamina had indeed posted an encouraging performance. Until the first semester of 2025, for example, Pertamina's oil and gas production was recorded at 1.04 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOEPD). This production consists of 557 thousand barrels of oil production per day (MBOPD) and gas production of 2,798 million cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) until the first semester of 2025.
Not only exploitation. In the field of exploration, Pertamina also continues to be aggressive in finding new oil and gas reserves. In the first semester of 2025, Pertamina conducted a 3D Seismic survey of 539 km2.
