PIEP Sends Second Crude Oil from Algeria to Indonesia

JAKARTA - PT Pertamina Internasional EP (PIEP) through international asset management has successfully shipped crude oil from Algeria to Indonesia, using the tanker MT Gamkonora.

The ship belonging to PT Pertamina Patra Niaga arrived in Cilacap, Central Java, on June 24, 2026 carrying around 450,000 barrels of crude oil from the Menzel Lejmat (MLN) Block 405a field in Algeria.

This shipment took about a month of sailing from Port Arzew, Algeria, with departure on May 14, 2026.

PIEP President Director, Syamsu Yudha, said that this achievement reflects Pertamina's role as a global energy player.

"This delivery strengthens Pertamina's position as an internationally competitive oil and gas company, while carrying out the mandate to support national energy security through superior and sustainable operations," he said, Friday, June 26.

This shipment is the second shipment in 2026, after the first shipment arrived in Indonesia at the end of January 2026. PIEP has also planned a follow-up shipment, namely the third ship which is scheduled to depart in August and arrive in September 2026.

PIEP Relations Manager, Dhaneswari Retnowardhani, said that the arrival of crude carried by MT Gamkonora was part of the company's ongoing synergy efforts, including ensuring that oil and gas production from overseas assets can provide direct benefits for Indonesia.

"In line with this, PIEP optimizes the economic value of global production through the utilization of international market opportunities and the management of value-added portfolios," said Dhaneswari.
