P
rivate fuel retailer PT Shell Indonesia has secured a base fuel supply from state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina after months of negotiations, ending supply strains after the government refused to increase the retailer’s import quota.
The firm, which operates Shell gas stations across the country, procured 100,000 barrels of imported RON-92 base fuel through a business-to-business agreement with Pertamina’s commercial arm, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga.
PT Pertamina Patra Niaga corporate secretary Roberth Dumatubun said the base fuel met all quality and specification requirements in line with government directives.
“Shell Indonesia has been allotted 100,000 barrels [of fuel], bringing the total supply for all private gas stations [BP-AKR, Vivo and Shell Indonesia] to 430,000 barrels,” he said in a statement issued on Friday.
He added that the partnership underscored Pertamina’s commitment to upholding transparency and good corporate governance while ensuring stable fuel distribution for the public.
“Providing energy for the community is our top priority, as it drives public productivity. We are committed to ensuring a safe, high-quality and accessible fuel supply for the sake of national energy security.”
