Pertamina is folding PT Pertamina Energy Terminal into PT Pertamina Patra Niaga as it presses ahead with a broader overhaul of its downstream business.

The merger takes effect on September 1, 2026, following the signing of the merger deed and amendments to PPN’s articles of association at Pertamina’s Jakarta headquarters. PPN will remain the surviving entity.

Pertamina President Director Simon Aloysius Mantiri said the restructuring should produce practical benefits for the company and the public. “What we signed today is a shared commitment to build a downstream business that is not only structurally integrated, but also reliable, competitive and fair,” he said in Jakarta on September 1, 2026.

— Simon Aloysius MantiriPertamina’s president director described the merger as part of the company’s effort to build a more integrated downstream business.

The company plans to reorganize processes and operations within its downstream subholding after the merger. Its agenda includes value-chain optimization, operating-cost efficiency and stronger operational cooperation. Mantiri also urged Pertamina staff to maintain the direction of the transformation while ensuring that the transition does not interrupt operations.

“Continue optimizing the value chain, cost efficiency and operational synergies, so that Pertamina truly becomes a focused, strong and dignified energy company,” Mantiri said.

The merger follows the first phase of downstream restructuring, which took effect on February 1, 2026. That phase brought PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional and 10 subsidiaries of PT Pertamina International Shipping into PPN, while transferring PIS’s captive ship fleet to PPN. Pertamina said downstream operations and public energy services would continue without interruption as consolidation proceeds.
