Impor BBM Ditambah 4,2 Juta Barel
PT Pertamina menambah impor bahan bakar minyak (BBM) 4,2 juta barel terdiri dari 1,2 juta barel solar dan 3 juta barel Premium dan Pertamax untuk menggantikan pasokan Kilang Balongan yang masuk jadwal perawatan (turn around). Senior Vice President Integrated Supply Chain Pertamina Daniel S. Purba mengatakan, perawatan Kilang Balongan yang berkapasitas 125.000 barel per hari (bph) mulai 23 Januari-23 Februari 2017. Oleh karena itu, perseroan harus mencari tambahan suplai solar, Premium, dan Pertamax.
Dia menjelaskan, Pertamina sudah tidak lagi mengimpor solar. Namun, untuk menutupi pasokan dari Kilang Balongan, perseroan harus impor solar 1,2 juta barel. Sementara itu, impor Premium dan Pertamax 3 juta barel. Daniel menambahkan, dampak dari perawatan kilang minyak yang berlokasi di Indramayu, Jawa Barat itu, perseroan harus menjaga keseimbangan stok bahan bakar minyak dari 19 hari menjadi kisaran 20-24 hari.
Selama ini, Kilang Balongan menghasilkan lebih banyak Premium dan Pertamax. Sementara itu, tambahan impor solar juga dipengaruhi naiknya permintaan di dalam negeri akibat meningkatnya kinerja sektor pertambangan menyusul penguatan harga batu bara. “Itu kita balikin lagi stoknya. Jadi memang tidak ada rencana impor, mendadak kita harus impor,” katanya.
Hal itu menyebabkan impor BBM pada 2017 naik dari proyeksi semula 8 juta barel per bulan menjadi 11 juta barel per bulan. Menurutnya, dan target impor BBM 8 juta barel per bulan pada 2017 terdiri dari Premium dan Pertamax masing-masing 4 juta barel per bulan. Daniel menegaskan, kendati konsumsi bahan bakar minyak pada tahun ini diproyeksi naik 5%, impor akan tetap terjaga karena kapasitas kilang dalam negeri juga naik.
Kapasitas kilang minyak nasional akan dinaikan dari 830.000 bph menjadi 900.000 bph pada tahun ini dengan asumsi beberapa jadwal perawatan kilang. “Impor akan jadi 50:50 kurang lebih, jadi kalau kita 8 juta barel per bulan, 4 juta barel per bulan Pertamax, 4 juta barel per bulan Premium,” katanya.
Direktur Pengolahan Pertamina Toharso menambahkan, semua kilang minyak memiliki jadwal perawatan berbeda-beda. Perseroan, katanya, telah mengantisipasi berhentinya operasi kilang karena berbagai faktor seperti perawatan rutin dan lainnya agar pasokan bahan bakar tetap terjaga
