        "summary": "The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has confirmed that Shell's petrol stations are now sourcing diesel fuel from Pertamina following a facilitated collaboration, resolving earlier shortages experienced since early 2026. ESDM has also arranged similar meetings for other private operators like bp and Vivo to procure domestic diesel, in line with a policy shift starting April 2026 to utilise local production from the Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) in Balikpapan. This initiative, enabled by the RDMP's capacity of 360,000 barrels per day, is projected to enhance national energy independence by saving up to Rp68 trillion annually in fuel imports and contributing Rp514 trillion to the national GDP.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), through Director\nGeneral of Oil and Gas, Laode Sulaeman, stated that the diesel now being\nsold again at Shell petrol stations is purchased from Pertamina. \u201cThis\nis a collaboration with Pertamina that we initiated and facilitated\nyesterday,\u201d Laode said at the Ministry of ESDM in Jakarta on Wednesday,\n13 May 2026. Previously, Shell petrol stations had experienced a\nshortage of fuel oil stock since the beginning of 2026, while other\nprivate petrol stations had already resumed normal sales of fuel. Then,\non 9 May 2026, Shell Indonesia\u2019s management finally announced that\ndiesel was available again at their stations at a price of Rp30,890 per\nlitre. \u201cPraise be to God, now there is collaboration with Pertamina so\nthey can start again,\u201d Laode said. Meanwhile, for other private petrol\nstations such as bp and Vivo, Laode said that his side had facilitated\nmeetings for purchasing diesel from Pertamina. \u201cActually, that\u2019s the\ndirection we\u2019re heading. Not all yet, but it\u2019s starting,\u201d he said. It is\nknown that in February 2026, the Ministry of ESDM stated that private\npetrol station management entities would use domestic diesel purchased\nfrom Pertamina starting April 2026. Several points that Pertamina had to\nprepare during the transition period, for example, providing adequate\nloading ports, cargo adjusted to the volume ordered by each business\nentity, and pure or base diesel fuel specifications adjusted to the\ndemands of the business entities. Various points were discussed in a\nmeeting between Laode and the petrol station management business\nentities as a mitigation step, so that in April it is hoped there will\nbe no crisis related to purchasing domestic diesel. The requirement to\npurchase diesel from Pertamina follows the production capacity of the\nRefinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) at Refinery Unit V in\nBalikpapan, East Kalimantan. The refinery enables processing of up to\n360,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 22-25 percent or a quarter of\nnational needs. Economically, the Balikpapan RDMP will have a\nsignificant impact on national energy independence, with savings on fuel\nimports of up to Rp68 trillion per year and a contribution to the\nnational GDP of Rp514 trillion.<\/p>",
