The Indonesian government inaugurated the Balikpapan Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) oil refinery project on January 12, 2026.

Through this project, the crude oil processing capacity at the Balikpapan refinery is targeted to increase from 260 thousand to 360 thousand barrels per day.

According to Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Bahlil Lahadalia, with this increase in capacity, Indonesia has the opportunity to stop importing fuel oil (BBM), as national needs can be met by domestic production.

"God willing, once the Balikpapan RDMP is officially operational starting this year, diesel imports will be stopped," said Bahlil in a press release on January 12, 2026.

"This is being done to promote energy sovereignty by no longer relying on imports to meet fuel needs," he added.

Based on government data received by Katadata.co.id, after the Balikpapan RDMP becomes operational, Indonesia is estimated to save up to Rp68 trillion per year in fuel imports.

These savings come from a reduction in gasoline imports worth Rp44.6 trillion; diesel Rp14.9 trillion; avtur Rp5.4 trillion; and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Rp2.9 trillion per year.
