Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- PT Pertamina, Indonesia’s state oil company, kept its Balongan oil refinery in Java in operation by using existing oil stockpiles after a disruption to crude shipments, a company official said.

The company is repairing the so-called single point mooring facility, or the offshore loading point, Rukmi Hadihartini, processing director at the company, said in a mobile-phone text message today. The plant has a capacity of 125,000 barrels a day.

Crude supply has been halted since Feb. 15, said Daniel Purba, head of integrated supply chain at Pertamina.
