New Shell Indonesia Boss Reveals Direction of Fuel Station Business Shift

Shell has appointed Andri Pratiwa as President Director and Country Chair of Shell Indonesia. He will replace Ingrid Siburian effective from 1 May 2026.

“Shell Indonesia is entering a new phase with various opportunities, and I am grateful for the trust given to me to lead the company in its growth efforts while continuing to make positive contributions to Indonesia’s economy,” said Andri in Jakarta on Wednesday, 15 April 2026, as quoted from Antara.

In addition to serving as the top leader of Shell in Indonesia, Andri will continue his current role as General Manager of Lubricants Indonesia.

This leadership transition is taking place as Shell continues to develop its lubricants business in Indonesia. The transition also continues the previously announced process regarding the divestment of Shell’s fuel station business in Indonesia to a joint venture between Citadel Pacific Limited and Sefas Group.

Andri stated that Shell will continue to invest in the lubricants business, including a grease manufacturing plant that complements its lubricants factory in Marunda. “I look forward to close collaboration with partners, the government, customers, and the community to realise our aspirations and create long-term sustainable value,” he said.

Meanwhile, the outgoing President Director and Country Chair of Shell Indonesia, Ingrid Siburian, will continue in her role as General Manager of Mobility. She will maintain important leadership during this period, focusing on business operational continuity and ensuring a smooth and successful transition.

Shell expressed appreciation and thanks to Ingrid for her leadership and contributions in Indonesia, including leading Shell Indonesia through this transformation period.

Previously, in the middle of last year, Shell divested its entire network of fuel stations to another company. The Dutch energy company officially sold around 200 fuel stations in Indonesia, including 160 owned units, to a joint venture between Citadel Pacific Limited and Sefas Group Indonesia.

Vice President of Corporate Relations for Shell Indonesia, Susi Hutapea, said that during the transition process, services at the fuel stations would continue normally. “Shell fuel station operations will proceed as usual until the ownership transfer process is complete, which we target to finalise next year,” said Susi in a written statement on Friday, 23 May 2025.

Although no longer managing the fuel stations directly, Shell will continue to supply fuel to partners and customers through brand licensing agreements. In addition, Susi said, Shell’s lubricants business is unaffected by this sale.

Shell will continue to operate its lubricants factory with a capacity of 300 million litres per year and build a grease production facility in Marunda, North Jakarta, with a capacity of 2,000 tonnes per year. Additionally, Shell’s fuel terminal in Gresik, East Java, will continue to operate as usual.

This step of selling the fuel station network is in line with Shell’s global strategy to simplify its downstream business portfolio and refocus its direction. “We remain committed to running safe, reliable operations oriented towards customer needs,” said Susi at the time.
