Indonesia's Pertamina says refinery high octane fuel output up 67 pct

Indonesia's state-energy company PT Pertamina said its production of high octane gasoline at its Cilacap refinery will increase to 1.67 million barrels per month this year from a previous rate of 1 million barrels per month, company officials said.

“Pertamina can significantly reduce imports of high octane motor gas components for gasoline products blending,” Pertamina director Ignatius Tallulembang said.

The increase is expected as Pertamina completes the development of its Cilacap Blue Sky project in mid-2019.
