HISTORY OF PERTAMINA
Pertamina began as Perusahaan Minyak Nasional (Permina) on December 10, 1957. The 10 December 1957 date is celebrated as the birthdate of Pertamina.
In 1960 Permina became Perusahaan Negara Permina (PN Permina). It then acquired and managed all the oil and gas assets of BPM (Bataafsche Petroleum Maatschappij) in 1965.
PN Permina became PN Pertamina (Perusahaan Negara Pertambangan Minyak dan Gas Bumi Negara) on 20 August 1968.
Finally, PN Pertamina became PT Pertamina, a limited company as it is today on 18 June 2003.
From the late 1960s through the 1990s Pertamina was in charge of all the production-sharing contracts issued to foreign oil companies.
Pertamina, with the status of PSO (Public Service Obligation) given in 1972, has the mandate to supply and distribute all the fuels needed in Indonesia.
