BP ⁢Fuel Returns ‍to Indonesian Stations, Shell Remains Dry Amid Import Talks

Jakarta – BP-branded fuel is ‌once again available‍ at‍ Indonesian gas stations after the company completed​ a purchase ⁤of 100,000 barrels of base fuel from Pertamina, the state-owned oil and gas company. However, Shell stations continue to experience fuel shortages as the⁢ company has yet to finalize a similar agreement with ⁢Pertamina.

Shell Indonesia has not yet secured an import agreement for fuel oil (BBM) through Pertamina despite depleted stocks at many of its stations in recent weeks.

According to Ingrid Siburian, President Director & Managing ‌Director of Mobility Shell ‌Indonesia, discussions regarding additional⁢ fuel imports are ongoing between Shell and the ‍Indonesian government.

“Shell Indonesia would like ⁢to inform you that currently we have not reached a business-to-business (B2B) ‍agreement regarding commercial ‌aspects for the​ supply of base fuel from Pertamina Patra Niaga. B2B discussions regarding the supply of base fuel imports continue,” ​Siburian stated in a written release, as reported by⁢ CNNIndonesia on November 2nd.

Siburian added that Shell is coordinating with ​relevant government bodies and stakeholders to ensure the eventual availability of gasoline products while ⁤adhering to operational ‍safety standards, procedures, and procurement guidelines.The imported fuel must also meet Shell’s global quality standards.

Currently, Shell​ stations are unable to supply ⁣Shell ⁢super, Shell V-Power, and Shell V-power Nitro+ gasoline. However,Shell V-Power Diesel remains available,alongside other products and services such as Shell Select convenience stores,Shell recharge electric vehicle charging,workshops,and‍ Shell lubricants.

Shell intends to announce the return of‌ gasoline⁣ fuel products through its official channels, including its website, customer service, the Shell Asia app, and social media. ⁢

“We apologize for the inconvenience caused,” Siburian said.
