Shell Fuel Supply to Resume in Indonesia by End of November 2025
Jakarta, indonesia – Shell gas stations across Indonesia are poised to resume normal fuel operations by the end of November 2025, following finalized negotiations for fuel procurement from state-owned energy company Pertamina. The resumption addresses supply disruptions experienced as late August 2025, stemming from depleted import quotas for private gas station operators.
The fuel shortage impacted several private brands, prompting the Indonesian government to encourage them to source fuel from Pertamina through business-to-business (B2B) agreements. Shell’s accomplished negotiation marks a significant step in stabilizing the fuel supply landscape for consumers and businesses reliant on private gas stations.Pertamina has already begun supplying fuel to other private brands, including Vivo and BP, under similar arrangements.
According to Laode, a government official overseeing the situation, the fuel procurement process between private gas stations and Pertamina is progressing well with Shell’s agreement now in place. Pertamina previously delivered 100,000 barrels of fuel each to PT Aneka Petroindo Raya (BP stations) and PT Vivo Energy indonesia (Vivo stations) via its subsidiary, pertamina Patra Niaga.
ExxonMobil (Mobil stations) has not yet requested fuel from Pertamina, as it currently maintains sufficient stock levels. The government anticipates a stable fuel supply for the four major private brands – Shell, Vivo, BP, and Mobil – as long as current stock levels and negotiated supply agreements hold.
