Pertamina delays CPD to October

State oil and gas company Pertamina will begin 92,500 barrels per day crude processing deal with Singapore in October instead of September, a company official said on Friday.

"We rescheduled the crude processing deal with Singapore Petroleum Co Ltd to October, due to the preparation of crude procurement," Dwi Kushartojo, deputy processing director of the company, told reporters.

Pertamina conducts crude processing deal to anticipate Balongan refinery turnaround and to keep fuel prices from rising too high. (godang)
