RI November crude, condensate output up at 1.064m bpd

Indonesia's crude oil and condensate output edged up slightly to 1.064 million barrels a day in November from 1.062 million b/d in October, the Dow Jones Newswires reported on Tuesday from Jakarta.

Still, November's output fell short of the government's 2005 target of 1.075 million b/d.

Crude output dropped to 937,000 b/d in November from 939,200 b/d a month earlier, while condensate production rose to 127,000 b/d from 122,300 b/d.

In May, crude and condensate output sank to 1.047 million b/d, a low not seen since the 1970s, analysts said.(*)
