To increase the capacity of domestic oil refineries, Pertamina plans to build six new refineries, involving private sector participation. Two of these new refineries are planned for Bontang and Tuban, each with a capacity of 300 MBCD.
The government is also increasing the capacity of four existing refineries: Balikpapan from 260 MBCD to 360 MBCD; Cilacap from 348 MBCD to 370 MBCD; Dumai from 140 MBCD to 300 MBCD; and Balongan from 125 MBCD to 280 MBCD.
The construction of these new refineries prioritizes the provision of domestic fuel needs. The increasing number of motor vehicles is driving up Indonesia's fuel demand, while domestic refinery capacity remains unchanged at 1,169,000 barrels per day.
