Jakarta – Indonesia’s state-owned oil and gas company, PT Pertamina (Persero), has consolidated three of its downstream subsidiaries into a single entity, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, effective February 1, 2026.

Jakarta –
Indonesia’s state-owned energy giant, PT Pertamina (Persero), has officially merged three of its key subsidiaries – PT Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN), PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI), and PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) – with PPN serving as the surviving entity.
The consolidation, which took effect on February 1, 2026, followed a thorough evaluation process, including benchmarking against other major oil companies globally, according to the company.
Pertamina’s President Director, Simon Aloysius Mantiri, stated that the integration will create a more streamlined and interconnected business ecosystem. This will encompass the entire value chain, from refining processes at its facilities to the distribution of energy throughout Indonesia and the marketing of products to meet consumer demand.

By integrating its downstream supply chain, Pertamina aims to ensure a more reliable energy supply (Availability), broader accessibility across the Indonesian archipelago, products that meet both consumer and environmental needs (Acceptability), and competitive pricing (Affordability). The move also supports the company’s transition towards lower-carbon fuels and a more sustainable energy portfolio.
“Amidst shifting geopolitical landscapes, the demands of energy transition, and increasingly fierce global competition, Indonesia requires a Pertamina that is agile, resilient, and fully integrated,” said Mantiri in a written statement on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. “When refining, distribution, logistics, and marketing operate as a unified system, we can eliminate redundancies, accelerate service delivery, and ensure a dependable energy supply from Sabang to Merauke.”
Through its Downstream Subholding, Pertamina is targeting a broader transformation of its business lines, with a particular focus on enhancing service to the public.
Mantiri emphasized that the integration will not disrupt services to customers or business partners and employees, but rather aims to provide a more reliable energy supply to the public through improved cross-divisional collaboration. The company intends to create a greater impact for the nation and future generations, embodying the spirit of Energizing Indonesia.
