SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Indonesia's state-owned energy company, Pertamina, needs $100 billion (£76.3 billion) over the next 12 years to boost oil output growth, a senior official said on Tuesday.

The spending was required to satisfy Indonesia's oil demand, Ernie D Ginting, the firm's vice president of corporate business strategic planning, said during the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference (APPEC) in Singapore.
Seventy percent of the amount will need to come from external funds and partnerships, she said on the sidelines of the conference, without elaborating.
Pertamina is also looking to acquire oil blocks overseas, she added.
"One of our strategies is to increase our production," she said. "We are thinking more of Iraq, central Asia."
