Tanjung, S Kalimantan (Antara Bali) - The Tanjung unit of state oil and gas company PT Pertamina said it would drill nine more oil wells in Tabalong, South Kalimantan.

The target is to produce at least 4,800 barrels of crude oil per day for the unit, field manager of the unit  Damar Aryo Sutrisno said.

The new wells will be drilled  in the areas of Murung Pudak  and  Tanjung, Damar said  in this capital of Tabalong on Wednesday.

Currently , Pertamina's Tanjung  unit produces 4,500 barrels of crude oil per day falling short of the target  as not all wells have been producing.

Damar said the wells already producing are not yet fully in operation because of underground shifting in oil flows.(*/DWA/IGT)
