        "content": "<p>The Downstream Oil and Gas Regulator (BPH Migas) has assured the\nreliability of fuel production at Pertamina Patra Niaga Refinery Unit II\n(RU II) Dumai as a key pillar of the national energy supply. This\nassurance is particularly important to meet BBM needs in the North\nSumatra region (Sumbagut) during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri\n(RAFI), amid rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The\nrefinery visit by BPH Migas follows directives from President Prabowo\nSubianto and the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) to\nensure domestic refinery operations run optimally and are not affected\nby global volatility. Fathul Nugroho, a member of the BPH Migas\nCommittee, said on-site findings show the refinery is operating in an\noptimal condition to support domestic BBM needs. \u2018During the field\nvisit, RU II Dumai was confirmed to be in an optimal state to produce\nvarious types of BBM. We hope the refinery\u2019s reliability will be\nmaintained so that it can meet BBM products for domestic needs,\nparticularly for North Sumatra,\u2019 he said in a written statement on\nThursday (5 March 2026). Pertamina Patra Niaga RU II Dumai is one of\nIndonesia\u2019s largest refineries, contributing around 16.5 percent of\nPertamina\u2019s total processing capacity. With that capacity, the refinery\nremains a crucial pillar in ensuring BBM availability in Sumatra and\nsurrounding areas. In addition to producing gas oil such as diesel and\nits derivatives, the refinery also produces green aviation fuel or\nSustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This product is part of efforts to\nsupport a sustainable energy transition programme. The production of SAF\nis regarded as a concrete step in preparing the national energy sector\nto meet global decarbonisation demands. The operational reliability of\nthe refinery is considered a key factor in ensuring national energy\nsupply is not disrupted by international geopolitical dynamics,\nincluding rising tensions in the Middle East. With the refinery\ncontinuing to operate optimally, the government hopes domestic energy\nsupply remains stable despite uncertainties in the global energy market.\nIn addition to ensuring smooth operations, BPH Migas is also pushing for\nan expansion of capacity at the Dumai Refinery as part of strengthening\nnational energy resilience.<\/p>",
