- Oil Production refers to the total amount of crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs within a country during a given year, before any refining or processing takes place.
Indonesia Oil Production was 0.638 Million Barrels Daily in 2023, down 1.4% on 2022. The Oil Production dataset of Indonesia from 2015 to 2023 provides a clear and consistent view of the country's oil production landscape, highlighting output trends, production levels, supply changes, industry performance, and annual market developments over the observed period.
Indonesia Oil Production moved from 0.838 Million Barrels Daily in 2015 to 0.638 Million Barrels Daily in 2023 (−23.9%), an average of −3.4% a year. The series high was 0.873 Million Barrels Daily in 2016 and the low 0.638 Million Barrels Daily in 2023.
The gap between the series high (2016) and low (2023) is 0.235 Million Barrels Daily. The sharpest single-year move was −6.7% in 2021.
Among the 27 countries in this dataset, Indonesia ranks 19 for 2023, behind U.S. (19.36 Million Barrels Daily) and Saudi Arabia (11.39 Million Barrels Daily). It accounts for 0.7% of the global total in 2023.

Data definition
Oil Production — - Oil Production refers to the total amount of crude oil extracted from underground reservoirs within a country during a given year, before any refining or processing takes place. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and represents the output of crude petroleum from both conventional and unconventional sources. This indicator reflects a country’s upstream oil industry performance, resource availability, and role in global energy supply. It is widely used to assess production trends, energy security, and dependence on oil resources for economic development.
The data includes crude oil extracted from both onshore and offshore oil fields, covering production from conventional wells as well as unconventional sources such as tight oil and shale oil where applicable. It includes all crude oil produced at the wellhead before refining, processing, or blending. The indicator may also include lease condensate when reported as part of crude oil production in national energy statistics. Data is compiled from national energy agencies, oil companies, and standardized international energy databases, ensuring consistency in comparing production levels across countries and over time.
The data excludes refined petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene, LPG, and other products derived from crude oil after refining. It does not include natural gas production, natural gas liquids (except where classified as condensate under crude oil reporting), biofuels, synthetic crude from coal-to-liquids or gas-to-liquids processes, or refinery gains. The indicator does not measure oil consumption, reserves, imports, exports, or refining capacity. Minor variations may arise due to differences in national reporting standards, classification of condensates, and estimation methodologies used across countries.

Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects total oil production and serves as an important indicator of upstream activity, domestic energy supply, investment trends, resource development, and the overall performance of Indonesia's petroleum sector. The dataset provides valuable insights into annual production changes and supports assessments of domestic crude oil availability, upstream operations, and long-term energy security.
Indonesia produced 838 thousand barrels daily in 2015 before increasing to 873 thousand in 2016. Production declined to 837 thousand barrels daily in 2017 and continued to decrease to 808 thousand in 2018 and 781 thousand in 2019. Output fell further to 742 thousand barrels daily in 2020, 692 thousand in 2021, 647 thousand in 2022, and 638 thousand barrels daily in 2023. The gradual decline reflects the maturity of Indonesia's producing oil fields, natural reservoir depletion, lower output from aging assets, and limited production growth despite continued exploration and enhanced recovery initiatives.
Overall, the dataset illustrates a long-term downward trend in Indonesia's oil production following a temporary increase in 2016. Although domestic production continues to support national energy requirements, the sustained decline highlights the importance of upstream investment, technological innovation, and new field development to improve production capacity and strengthen long-term energy security.
The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring national oil production performance, evaluating supply trends, assessing upstream investment, supporting market analysis, forecasting future production, and enabling policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders to develop effective energy strategies and production planning.
