JAKARTA, Nov 25 Asia Pulse - Oil giant Shell will build 500 fuel filling stations in the country in the next five years to sell oil fuels, including subsidized fuels.

Shell is building a new unit in Tangerang, Banten and next year it hopes to start building units in Jakarta.

Malaysia's Petronas plans to build 200 units in the same period and has already built one in Depok, an official of the Oil and Gas Upstream Agency (BPH Migas) Eri Purnomohadi said.

The two foreign companies are still testing the market before launching a bigger plan, Eri said.

Shell and Petronas will be given a share in the oil fuel distribution next year, but much smaller than the portion for state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina, which until now is the only distributor of oil fuels in the country.
