Deputy Minister Susilo Siswoutomo said crude oil exported is not in accordance with the specifications of refineries in the country. It said Susilo, Indonesia still imports of crude oil and fuel to meet national fuel reached 1.4 million-1, 5 million barrels per day.
"But even if we export 200,000 barrels of crude oil, if crude oil imports so much more, because the national fuel demand reaches 1.4 to 1.5 million per day. While our crude oil production less than 1 million, so in addition to crude oil imports , we also import finished gasoline, "Susilo said when met at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
Based on data from Pertamina, total crude oil imports for 2012 reached 98.21 million barrels, or about 300,000 barrels per day. Higher imports of crude oil and fuel so far, said Susilo, a cause of Indonesia's financial balance deficit.
"To solve the problem the only way is none other than reducing fuel consumption, such as fuel conversion to CNG, but it needs a long time, reducing power use BBM, push power plants using coal, geothermal, gas and others. But there the part that can not be changed, ie, consumption of vehicles that use oil, it's hard, "said Susilo.
