BP-AKR to Increase Fuel Purchases from pertamina as Other Stations Negotiate
Jakarta -โข PT Anekaโข Petroindo Raya (APR), the operator of BP-AKR gas stations, is expected to receive an additional fuel shipment from โคPertamina Patra Niaga, bringing the โtotal โฃto threeโค cargoes. This move signals a continued shift towards sourcing base fuel from the state-owned energyโ company.
according to Laode Sulaeman, Director General of Oil and โGas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, BP-AKR recently ordered twoโ 100,000-barrel shipments and is considering a third.”Like yesterday,โ BP AKR ordered 100 thousand barrels twice, two cargoes, and we heard โthere would be a third cargo. Yes, we’ll confirm that โขlater,” Sulaeman stated onโค Wednesday, November 12, โฃ2025. The procurement process for the initial 100,000-barrelโ purchase is โฃanticipated to occur in the third week of November.
While โคBP-AKR’sโ purchases are progressing, negotiations are ongoingโ with other fuel retailers. Shell and VIVO are currently in discussionsโ with Pertamina Patra โNiaga toโ secure โfuel supplies, though Sulaeman noted heโ wasโ unawareโ of โspecific obstacles hindering those โขtalks. “If you want to ask about obstacles, it is more appropriate for those in B2B, we don’t know because โขsome have succeeded and some are still being discussed,” โขhe explained. “If those are prosperous, that means they have proven that there are โno obstacles.โ If not, ask those who haven’t, why.”
the increased demand from โฃBP-AKR comes amid a broader context of fuel supply dynamics in Indonesia,โ were private operators are increasingly โlooking to โขpertamina as a key supplier โฃof base fuel.
