Fuel supply for holidays adequate

CILACAP, Central Java: The state-owned oil and gas company Refinery Unit in Cilacap will not increase its fuel and oil production ahead of the Christmas, Idul Fitri and New Year holidays as its daily production would be adequate, an official says.

Husni Banser, head of public relation department of Pertamina Cilacap, said on Wednesday that the daily production of 6,200 tons of premium 6,600 tons of kerosene and 7,300 tons of automotive diesel fuel would be adequate.

"People should not be worried about lacking fuel or kerosene during the holidays. We calculate that the daily production will meet the demand. However, as soon as we learn that the demand is getting higher, we will make any adjustment by increasing our production," Husni said, adding that Pertamina Cilacap distributed most of its products to Java Island.
