State energy company PT Pertamina said its fuel terminal (TBBM) and refilling station for aircraft (DPPU) and distribution facilities in North Maluku were unaffected by the earthquake that hit the area at just after midnight Sunday.
Unit Manager for Communication, Relations and CSR of Pertamina for MOR VIII region Brasto Galih Nugroho said Pertamina continue to monitor the facilities of Pertamina in North Maluku.
"All facilities, such as TBBM, DPPU and distribution network in North Maluku were not damaged, both building structure and distribution activities on the ground, therefore operation went ahead as usual today," Brasto said.
A reported 7.0 Richter Scale hit North Maluku at 00.08 eastern Indonesian time, or at mid-night Sunday. The epicenter of the earthquake is estimated to be located about 36 km below seabed, about 136 km to the Southwest of Ternate.
