Long queues for fuel have been observed at gas stations across Bali since Monday (10/12/2026). According to circulating reports, some residents have waited for hours—with some even spending the night at gas stations—just to get fuel.
In a written statement, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga responded that it will bolster supplies by up to 57.9 million liters of fuel. This supply is being delivered in stages via tankers from October 14 to 17, 2026, through the Manggis Terminal and Sanggaran Terminal.
The additional 57.9 million liters consists of 44.9 million liters of Pertalite and 13 million liters of Pertamax. This additional stock is expected to reinforce fuel availability and support smooth distribution to gas stations across Bali.
In addition to boosting supply, Pertamina is extending operating hours at gas stations in Denpasar City. The number of gas stations operating 24 hours has been increased from 24 to 60.
Pertamina is also deploying additional cross-functional personnel and expanding its fleet of tank trucks.
The extra personnel include backup gas station operators, arranged in coordination with the IX/Udayana Military Regional Command to support operational needs. Coordination was also carried out to prepare backup tank truck drivers as a precautionary measure in case drivers require rest, ensuring both workplace safety and smooth distribution.
"We continue to coordinate with various stakeholders to ensure recovery efforts run optimally while prioritizing safety," said Kitty Andhora, Vice President of Corporate Communication at Pertamina Patra Niaga, in a written statement to Katadata on Wednesday (10/14/2026).
To help alleviate queues, Pertamina is also optimizing mobile fuel delivery services (motoris) for two-wheeled vehicles in accordance with applicable operational and safety standards. Information regarding supply availability and gas station services continues to be updated via the official Instagram account @pertaminabali to ensure the public receives accurate and up-to-date information.
