Pertamina Extends Fuel Supply to Private Gas Stations Until Year-End

Government-Directed B2B Transactions Continue Through December 2025

Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN) has confirmed that its Business-to-Business (B2B) fuel supply arrangement with private gas station operators will remain in effect until December 31, 2025 ¹

. This decision follows government instructions to ensure continuity of fuel supply to independent gas stations.

Ongoing Negotiations with Major Private Operators

Corporate Secretary Roberth Marcelino Verieza Dumatubun stated that negotiations are still ongoing with major private gas station operators Shell Indonesia and Vivo ¹

. The discussions center around the purchase of base fuel or pure fuel from Pertamina. However, specific details regarding the negotiation status remain undisclosed.

Successful Agreement with BP-AKR

In a related development, BP-AKR has successfully reached an agreement for fuel procurement through PT Aneka Petroindo Raya (APR), demonstrating that the B2B model is viable for some operators ¹

. This agreement serves as a positive example amid ongoing discussions with other private gas station chains.

Current Fuel Supply Challenges

Detik Finance reported that some private gas stations, particularly those operated by Shell, are currently facing fuel stock shortages ²

. Pertamina's CEO Simon Aloysius Mantiri acknowledged the issue and confirmed that negotiations with Shell are continuing to find a solution. Mantiri emphasized that Pertamina is working closely with Shell to address the fuel supply challenges.

Market Implications

The extension of the B2B fuel supply arrangement until year-end provides temporary relief for private gas station operators struggling with fuel procurement.
