Bali to Open 92 Fuel Stations Around the Clock Amid Shortages

Denpasar — Ninety-two fuel stations in Denpasar and Badung will begin operating around the clock on Tuesday night, Oct. 13, 2026, as officials respond to long vehicle queues linked to recent fuel-supply disruptions in Bali.

The arrangement followed a closed meeting between Bali Governor Wayan Koster and Simon Aloysius Mantiri, president director of PT Pertamina (Persero), at the Pertamina Fuel Terminal Sanggaran in Pedungan, Denpasar. Pertamina said it would accelerate deliveries from depots to stations, increase supplies by ship and add operators to speed service.

For foreign residents and visitors, the measure means that participating stations in Denpasar and Badung are scheduled to provide fuel service throughout the night while the distribution system is brought back toward normal. The reports do not identify the individual stations or specify separate opening hours for every location.

Why the 92 stations matter to Bali travelers

The extended hours are intended to reduce queues that had formed at stations across Bali. Wayan Koster said fuel stocks were available at the depots, but distribution to stations had not kept pace with the number of people arriving to refuel. One report said demand at stations had risen to two or three times normal levels.

Pertamina also planned to operate the Manggis and Sanggaran depots around the clock. The 24-hour station arrangement is to remain in place until conditions are considered normal. Bali’s reported daily fuel requirement is about 2.2 million liters.

A separate report said Koster expected distribution to recover on Wednesday, Oct. 14. Another report said service and supply could return to normal within one to two days. The immediate response therefore combines longer station hours with faster movement of fuel from the depots.
