The Government has set lower oil lifting for 2019, at 750,000 barrels per day (bpd), compared to 800,000 bpd set on budget (APBN) for this year. Gas lifting is set at around 1.25 million barrels oil equivalent per day (boepd), slightly up from 1.2 million boepd set for this year. The natural decline of production for existing oil and gas fields is a factor for lower lifting of oil for next year.
