JAKARTA - Pertamina's move to form a Downstream Sub Holding (SHD) which brings together downstream subholdings that have been run by PT Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN), PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI), and PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) is expected to be able to optimize downstream operations. migas.
The Executive Director of the ReforMiner Institute, Komaidi Notonegoro, hopes that the integration is also expected to support Pertamina in ensuring the supply of fuel, which ultimately also plays a role in strengthening national energy resilience.
According to him, in Jakarta, the establishment of the Downstream Sub Holding can make downstream operations more optimal because by making PPN, PIS, and KPI into 'one roof', it will make the operational process simpler.
"It is hoped that the operational optimization will be carried out, because integration will make each other support. So, if one house is like when there is work, it can be done together. So the process is simpler," he said, quoted by Antara, Sunday, February 8.
Komaidi added, with a simpler process, all matters related to the procurement or distribution of fuel and Elpiji, can be fulfilled faster so that it can support Pertamina in ensuring the distribution of fuel and Elpiji to the public.
He explained that when the PPN communicates with the KPI regarding the quality of fuel or with the PIS regarding oil transportation, in such conditions the process can be carried out faster, without having to go through inter-agency procedures, such as letters or even contracts.
"Suppose the PPN needs oil from Arabia and must arrive immediately within a certain time, then the PPN just orders or communicates with the ship (PIS), because it is one roof. So it's simpler," he said.
Likewise, when there are indications that there will be a shortage of fuel in one area, he added, then as an anticipation, the Downstream Sub-Holding just maps, for example, fuel will be supplied from which refinery, as well as transportation by ship, can be done faster.
"So there is no need for Patra to contact KPI first, then KPI buys the oil first. With integration, maybe the technicalities are the same, but the administration is much simpler," he said by telephone.
"So it's faster. In the past, it was like, okay, fill out the form first and so on. Well, now because it's one roof, you don't have to fill out the form," he continued.
Therefore, Komaidi is optimistic that the integration of PPN, PIS, and KPI, further supports Pertamina to be more reliable, agile, and optimal. Including in facing the Ramadhan and Idulfitri 2026 Task Force.

"With integration, it should be better than in previous years. Moreover, in previous years, the Rafi Pertamina Task Force can be said to have always succeeded and consumers always appreciate its services, its products, and other aspects," he said.
Previously, Pertamina officially formed a Downstream Sub Holding (SHD), February 1, 2026. The corporate merger action was carried out through a deep evaluation process including through the benchmarking stage of other similar oil and gas companies.
The establishment of SHD aims to improve the optimization of downstream operations, strengthen the certainty of national energy supply, and increase the Company's competitiveness.
