Pertamina to repair unit at Balikpapan refinery post-fire

JAKARTA: Indonesia’s state energy firm PT Pertamina yesterday said it would take a week to repair a unit at its Balikpapan refinery in East Kalimantan province after a fire broke out a day earlier, killing one contractor and injuring five others.

Pertamina said fuel supply would not be disrupted as the refinery should still have enough stocks for the Balikpapan fuel terminal, adding that it has also prepared a scenario to reroute components from another facility to ensure supply.
