TARAKAN As a form of commitment in meeting fuel and LPG needs in all provinces in Kalimantan, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga regional Kalimantan ensures that fuel and LPG stocks are met ahead of Eid al-Adha 1445 H.

According to the Area Manager Communication, Relations & CSR of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Kalimantan, Arya Yusa Dwicandra, this year it is estimated that there will be an increase of 1.9 percent for Gasoline Fuel (Pertamax Series and Pertalite), 3.1 percent for Gasoil Type Fuel (Dex Series and Solar) and 3.8 percent for LPG.

"This increase is our prognosis based on the increase in the previous year. From the stock side, Pertamina has up to 11 days of resilience for fuel and 3-5 Day Security for LPG, this stock number will continue to be added from the current supply chain," said Arya.

Especially for the North Kalimantan region, Pertamina estimates the number of daily needs for fuel during Eid al-Adha as much as 386 KL (kiloliters) for Gasoline type fuel, 129 KL for Gasoil and LPG type fuel as much as 52 MT (Metric Ton).

"This number is up 3.6 percent for Gasoline type fuel, 0.3 percent for Gasoil fuel and 3.4 percent for LPG from normal daily distribution. Meanwhile, the stock for North Kalimantan is confirmed to be safe when and after Eid al-Adha 1445H," Arya continued.

Pertamina also continues to urge people not to panic buying and not to use subsidized fuel and LPG that are prioritized for underprivileged citizens.

"Some of the problems that often occur in the field are the use of fuel and LPG that are not on target. Currently Pertamina continues to run the "right subsidy" program so that the distribution of subsidized fuel and LPG reaches those who are entitled. For fuel, currently, QR code and LPG are applied to use ID cards (NIK) for purchase. It is hoped that people with an economy will not be able to buy subsidized fuel and LPG," said Arya.

As a sub-holding commercial & Trading from PT Pertamina (Persero), PT Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to be committed to channeling energy to the community.

"We are also alerting Pertamina 135 contact services intended for people or consumers who want to order with the delivery service for fuel and LPG (non-subsidized products) as well as opening information, input and suggestions search services," concluded Arya.
