Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Satya Widya Yudha, a member of the National Energy Council (DEN), emphasised the importance of the Indonesian government diversifying the country’s suppliers of crude oil, fuel, and gas amid uncertainties from the Iran vs US conflict.

Domestically, efforts to increase oil and gas production through easing upstream oil and gas investments, reactivating idle wells, and managing community wells are also strategies to strengthen Indonesia’s energy resilience.

What efforts are needed to bolster energy resilience amid Middle East geopolitical turmoil? What is also the direction of Indonesia’s energy transition amid efforts to boost oil and gas production?
