Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources\n(ESDM), Bahlil Lahadalia, stated that crude oil from Russia will soon\nenter Indonesia as part of efforts to maintain national energy supply\nresilience amid global geopolitical dynamics.<\/p>\n
This step is also part of the realisation of the commitment to import\n150 million barrels of oil from Russia, which will be carried out\ngradually until the end of 2026.<\/p>\n
When met after attending an event of the IPB Alumni Association in\nJakarta on Saturday, Bahlil emphasised that the government is currently\nprioritising the availability of all types of fuel oil (BBM) to meet the\nneeds of the public and industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, the most important thing is that all our stocks are\navailable. And for (crude oil from) Russia, it will enter soon,\u201d said\nBahlil.<\/p>\n
He stated that the government is focusing on ensuring the\navailability of various types of BBM, from diesel to petrol with various\noctane ratings, amid the still volatile global conditions.<\/p>\n
According to him, in the current global geopolitical situation,\ncountries must prioritise energy supply security before taking further\nsteps regarding other energy policies.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn conditions like this, the country must ensure the availability of\nall types of BBM. That is far more important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In addition to crude oil, the government is also opening\nopportunities for importing liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Russia.\nHowever, according to Bahlil, the plan is still in the discussion\nstage.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, he assured that the national LPG stock is currently\nstill above the national minimum threshold.<\/p>\n
\u201cUp to now, all our LPG stocks are above the national minimum\nstandard,\u201d said Bahlil.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/minister-of-energy-and-mineral-resources-reveals-russian-crude-oil-to-soon-enter-indonesia-1777725679", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
