Indonesia plans to increase its share of Liquefied Petroleum Gas\n(LPG) imports from the United States to 70%. This follows a new trade\nagreement between Indonesia and the United States.<\/p>\n
Pertamina Director-General Simon Aloysius Mantiri explained that this\nstep forms part of a strategy to diversify energy sources to secure\nsupply whilst obtaining competitive pricing. Prior to the new agreement,\nIndonesia\u2019s LPG supply was already heavily dependent on the United\nStates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that Pertamina has been importing a fairly substantial share\nfrom the United States at approximately 57%. With this trade agreement,\nwe will be able to increase this to up to 70%,\u201d said Simon during an\nonline press conference from the United States on Monday, 2 March\n2026.<\/p>\n
Simon stressed that the implementation of the US$15 billion energy\nimport programme would proceed according to fair business principles and\nwith transparency. The company guarantees there will be no direct\nappointment mechanism, but rather a transparent tender process open to\nqualifying partners in the United States.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan for energy imports from the United States, firstly,\ninvolves business as usual\u2014no direct appointment, but rather the usual\ntendering and bidding mechanisms that are open,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Mantiri acknowledged that Indonesia is currently facing challenges\nfrom natural decline in upstream oil and gas production, so imports are\nnecessary to bridge the gap between domestic production and consumption\nwhilst awaiting efforts to increase production to bear fruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also making efforts to increase our production, which we know\nis experiencing natural decline and certainly requires breakthroughs. To\nmeet the current gap, we still need imports,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
