Jakarta (ANTARA) – Increasing national oil production is one of Indonesia's anticipatory measures against geopolitical turmoil, including the political unrest in Venezuela, as informed by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).”As a precaution, we aim to increase the national strategic oil reserves and optimize production,” the ministry's spokesperson, Dwi Anggia, said on Tuesday.According to her, steps to increase national oil production include optimizing the use of technology and production techniques, such as fracking, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and horizontal drilling, to increase oil production.In addition, the government is offering fiscal reform, accelerated licensing, and increased exploration investment in frontier areas to attract upstream oil and gas investors, she continued.Anggia said the government is also pursuing production increases by reactivating 4,500 idle wells.”We are continuing to monitor this situation (the situation in Venezuela),” she stated.As previously reported, the ministry's Director General of Oil and Gas, Laode Sulaeman, said the government has not yet seen a direct impact of the situation in Venezuela on fuel supply or prices at this time.”Our crude does not come from Venezuela. It comes from other regions. So it's still stable,” he noted on Monday (January 5).He emphasized that the government continues to take anticipatory measures and monitor developments in the situation, including its potential impact on global oil prices.”There's always anticipation,” he ensured.These statements were in response to the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela. International media outlets reported that the US launched a military attack on the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, on Saturday (January 3).In his statement, US President Donald Trump said US forces had arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.The Venezuelan government then declared a state of national emergency. Several countries have issued official statements regarding the unilateral US attack.Colombian President Gustavo Petro called for an emergency UN meeting to affirm the principles of respect for sovereignty, the prohibition of the use of force, and the peaceful resolution of disputes.Russia and Iran, both known for their close ties with Venezuela, also condemned the US military attack.
