State oil and gas company PT Pertamina will import 10 million barrels of oil products in December, a company official said.
The company's deputy director of trading and marketing Hanung Budya said in Jakarta Friday that Pertamina plans to import between 5.4 million barrels and 6 million barrels of diesel fuel in December.
The company also will buy as much as 3 million barrels of gasoline in the same month, he added.
Oil product cargoes may total 10 million barrels in November, Budya said on Sept. 22.
Pertamina increased imports of fuel products to 11 million barrels this month to anticipate the increasing demand for fuel products in the fasting month and Idul Fitri holidays. (*)
