JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) has a new competitor in the field of liquefied petroleum gas or LPG gas called myGas, a product of the private company PT Bhakti Mingas Utama. Pertamina needs to watch out for the emergence of myGas.

Member of Commission VII DPR RI Maman Abdurrahman said that Pertamina needed to burden the supply chain or the supply chain below. If not, sooner or later Pertamina will be matched by myGas.

"Sooner or later, if Pertamina does not make serious efforts to fix the supply chain system of our LPG, we will face the private sector," he said, at the Commission VII hearing with Pertamina, Tuesday, February 9.

According to Maman, the effect of a problematic supply chain could have implications for the supply or supply and price of LPG in the field. Maman assessed that currently Pertamina can still compete, but if it does not make improvements it will be left behind.

"Because Pertamina's competitors who are myGas in their good supply chain, even though their prices are still high. So Pertamina can still compete," he said.

For your information, PT Bhakti Mingas Utama, which has been established since 1991, is a national private company engaged in the Oil and Gas sector with a focus on the LPG sector using the myGas trademark.

PT Bhakti Mingas Utama is a national private company that has obtained a General LPG Trading Business license from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) of the Republic of Indonesia.

In 2004, PT. Bhakti Mingas Utama built the first Private LPG Terminal in Indonesia, with a capacity of 10,000 MT in Eretan, Indramayu. As a form of the company's commitment to realizing professional LPG trading business activities.

To support LPG myGas distribution activities, PT Bhakti Mingas Utama already has an LPG filling network in the form of an LPG Filling Station (SPL) located in Cakung Cilincing, East Jakarta; BSD, South Tangerang and Eretan, Indramayu.

Previously, in 2005, the DPR had highlighted Pertamina's policy of providing gas supply to new market players myGas. This step is considered a wrong policy. As a new market player, myGas should be self-sufficient for its gas needs and not 'feed' from Pertamina.

Member of Commission VII DPR RI at that time, Airlangga Hartarto said Pertamina's policy of selling gas to myGas would actually increase Pertamina's future competitors.

"MyGas should import itself, because the goal of new players is to add new supplies. However, Pertamina's market gradually diminishes," he said, quoted from detik.com, Tuesday, February 9.
