Indonesia plans to increase the proportion of Liquefied Petroleum Gas\n(LPG) imports from the United States to 70 per cent. This follows\nthrough on a trade agreement between Indonesia and the United\nStates.<\/p>\n
Pertamina Chief Executive Simon Aloysius Mantiri explained that this\nstep forms part of a strategy to diversify energy sources to secure\nsupply whilst obtaining competitive pricing. Before the new agreement,\ndependence on LPG supply from the US was already dominant.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we know that Pertamina has been importing a considerable\nproportion of LPG from the United States, approximately 57 per cent.\nWell, with this trade agreement, we will certainly be able to increase\nit to 70 per cent,\u201d said Simon during an online press conference from\nthe United States, quoted Tuesday (3 March 2026).<\/p>\n
Simon stressed that the implementation of energy imports valued at\nUS$15 billion would proceed on business-as-usual principles and with\ntransparency. The company guarantees there will be no direct appointment\nmechanism, but rather the normal open tender process for qualified\npartners in the US.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan for energy imports from the United States includes, first,\nthe technical approach we are implementing is business as usual. So\nthere is no direct appointment but rather, as usual, an open mechanism\nof tender and bidding,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
Simon acknowledged that Indonesia currently faces the challenge of\nnatural decline in upstream oil and gas production, so imports are\nnecessary to bridge the gap between domestic production and consumption\nwhilst awaiting improvements in production capacity to bear fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also continuing efforts to increase our production lift. As\nwe know, we are experiencing natural decline and certainly need\nbreakthroughs. To meet the current gap, we still need imports,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n
