Pekanbaru (Antara Bali) - The Upstream Oil and Gas Regulating Unit (SKK Migas) said the country recorded a slight increase in its oil production in the past three months.

"It was not significant but it was in line with the SKK Migas' commitment since it was established," chief of the agency Rudi Rubiandini told Antara news agency via telephone on Wednesday.

The country's oil production in the past three month peaked at 840,000 barrels per day up from a daily peak of 827,000 barrels earlier, Rudi said.

He said he has reported the oil production increase to the president. He said the target in state income from the oil sector is expected to be reached with the increase in production.

Earlier it was reported that the oil production of PT. Chevron Pasific Indonesia (CPI) dropped sharply in its Bangko oil field in the regency of Rokan Hilir, Riau. The report said oil production from the Bangko field shrank on May 4 until May 6. (*/M038)
