JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has opened its voice regarding the fate of fuel supply at private gas stations if the agreement to purchase base fuel from Pertamina does not occur.
Director General of Oil and Gas Laode Sulaeman gave a signal that supply to private operators could be empty until the end of this year. In this case, business entities are only given the option of buying base fuel from Pertamina or remain empty of supply until the end of the year.
"The choice, yes, meaning that it will be empty until the end of the year or whether something is agreed upon. Like that," said Laode to the media crew at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Building, Friday, October 3.
Laode said, the fate of the new private gas station fuel stock will be determined through a meeting with Pertamina today at the office of the Directorate General of Oil and Gas today, Friday, October 3, 2025.
"But it will definitely be afternoon. Pertamina is also the same as a private business entity. It has been in talks again since a few days ago," explained Laode.
Previously, a number of private gas station operators revealed that the remaining fuel stock was running low.
President Director & Managing Director of Mobility Shell Indonesia Ingrid Siburian said Shell has 197 gas stations on the island of Java and only 5 points in Cirebon and Cilegon that still have stock and run out on October 2.

Meanwhile, BP-AKR President Director Vanda Laura said that his fuel supply would only last until the end of October if he did not get an import permit from the government.
"By the end of this month. The end of the month has run out," explained Vanda.
Vanda said that his party risks laying off some employees if supplies are empty for a long time. Currently, he admits that BP-AKR has adjusted operating hours.
In line with BP, Vivo Director Leonard Mamahit, said his fuel stock would only last until the middle of this month. The remaining fuel stock is Revvo 92 or the equivalent of Pertamina's Pertamax. Meanwhile, Revvo 95 and Revvo 90 fuels have experienced a stock vacuum.
"Currently, only Revvo 92 will expire in mid-October. The Revvo 90 and 95 have run out," explained Leonard.
