Indonesia's Fuel Reserves Stand at 20 Days; This Country's Reserves Extend to 11,111 Days

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Global oil supplies have come under renewed pressure as the escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues unabated.

Tensions in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, have disrupted global energy supplies and driven oil prices sharply higher. The widening conflict has disrupted tanker flows and regional oil supplies, whilst Brent crude prices surged above US$100 per barrel in trading on Monday, 9 March 2026, marking the highest level since 2022.

In such circumstances, domestic oil reserves have become critically important for every nation. When trade routes are disrupted, oil shipments can be delayed, interrupted, or temporarily cut off.

A country’s fuel reserves serve as a crucial buffer during periods of supply disruption, allowing nations to maintain energy security and economic stability when international markets face instability or geopolitical challenges.
