Pertamina's efficiency measures boosted its first-half 2016 profit by 221 percent to US$1.83 billion, compared to the same period the previous year. This surpasses the achievements of other multinational oil and gas companies such as Pemex. Indeed, several global oil and gas companies experienced significant profit declines, some even recording losses.
The state-owned enterprise's cost-cutting program, titled the *Breakthrough Project* 2016, achieved US$1.2 billion in savings by the end of June, exceeding the initial target of US$838 million. This policy supported Pertamina's performance during the period when oil prices fell below US$30 per barrel.
