Denpasar, Bali (Tim Redaksi) – Pertamina Patra Niaga has stepped up fuel deliveries to Bali, bringing in 57.9 million liters between October 14 and 17, 2026, to speed up the replenishment of gas station supplies.
“We are optimizing all operational lines,” Area Manager of Communication, Relations, and CSR for PT Pertamina Patra Niaga’s East Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara (Jatimbalinus) Region, Ahad Rahedi, said on Thursday.
He informed that oil tankers are docking at the Manggis Fuel Terminal in Karangasem District and the Sanggaran Fuel Terminal in Denpasar.
Rahedi detailed that the total fuel supply consisted of 44.9 million liters of Pertalite and 13 million liters of Pertamax.
He expressed hope that the increased supply would ensure fuel availability and improve distribution to gas stations across Bali.
“Besides supply, we are also increasing the readiness of gas stations and deploying personnel and fleet support to ensure optimal service to the public,” he added.
Furthermore, his office is expanding gas station operating hours, including in Denpasar City. From the previous 24 gas stations operating 24 hours, an additional 60 gas stations are being prepared to operate around the clock.
Previously, Pertamina had deployed tankers in stages to distribute fuel on Wednesday (October 7) and Sunday (October 11), carrying 18,000 kiloliters of Pertalite and 2,500 kiloliters of Pertamax at the Manggis Terminal.
Followed by the Klasogun tanker carrying 1,200 kiloliters of Pertalite, docked at the Sanggaran Fuel Terminal in Denpasar on Tuesday (October 13).
Under normal conditions, average Pertalite consumption in Bali reaches around 2,200 kiloliters per day, Rahedi explained.
Pertamina continues to monitor fuel supply and distribution while coordinating with relevant stakeholders to accelerate the recovery of fuel services across Bali.
Balinese institutions, including the education sector, state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and regionally owned enterprises (BUMD), are implementing a work-from-home policy in accordance with the Bali Governor’s circular issued on Wednesday (October 14), effective Thursday through Saturday (October 17).
The policy is expected to reduce mobility and support fuel supply and distribution efforts.
As of 10:00 a.m. Central Indonesian Time (WITA) on Thursday, long petrol queues remained at several gas stations in Bali, including the Gatot Subroto gas station in East Denpasar, the Ngurah Rai Airport gas station in Badung, the gas station near the Sakah Sukawati Statue in Gianyar, and the Padang Kerta gas station in Karangasem.
Coordinating Minister for Downstream Energy and Transition Bahlil Lahadalia earlier conveyed that the long fuel lines in Bali were caused by distribution constraints.
