Fuel is distributed throughout Indonesia primarily by the state owned government entity Pertamina. From the main hubs it is then distributed either to secondary hubs or direct to retail outlets for sale to consumers.
Crude oil is imported into Indonesia and then refined into petroleum products at one of seven refineries operated by Pertamina throughout the country. There is sufficient capacity at the refineries to meet the current demand for fuel products. All major fuel depots store fuel as well as Jet A1 and Avgas for onward distribution to smaller depots. The locations of the Pertamina depots can be found on the maps for each relevant province.

Fuel Pricing

The Government of the Republic of Indonesia sets the price of petroleum products. Fuel prices can only be changed by a change to legislation in the Indonesia government.
For current information in regards to the pricing of Jet A-1 and Avgas can be found at Pertamina Aviation Website

Seasonal Variations 

There are occasions where a shortage of fuel may occur within Indonesia, primarily due to the conditions of the roads during the wet season or adverse sea conditions.  These issues are managed by Pertamina who remotely monitor all the fuel depots and aim to keep on average a 10 day supply of fuel in the depots.  If the supply drops below the line, a replenishment order is triggered for that particular depot (taking into account transit times from the main hubs).

Fuel Transportation

Fuel is transported by three modes within Indonesia – Sea, Land and Air. Sea transport to primary hubs in each of the provinces is the main form of movements. From these hubs, the fuel is moved onward via additional sea movements via regular tanker movements, landside via road transportation or via air into those regions where road or sea transport is not possible.
For the regions that are reliant on fuel movements via air (namely in parts of Papua province), there is a rationing system of the amount of fuel that can be issued on a monthly basis. Flights are operated on a daily basis from Jayapura to the remote areas – if increased fuel is required in those areas additional flights would need to be scheduled.
One of the main hubs for fuel movements for Indonesia is from tankers loaded out of Surabaya. From here, NTT, NTB, Papua and Bali are supported via regular scheduled fuel tanker movements to hubs in the main cities and then onward to more remote locations.
If additional fuel is required to support humanitarian operations in country a formal written request should be submitted to the Pertamina head office in Jakarta for review and implementation.
