As has been said above you're going against the grain here, and its not going to be easy. In my last game I had some success with this in getting the oil from northern China down to where I could use it. I'll add the following to what's been said above. First off Batavia has a max port size of 7. You need to get it there, but that in and of itself isn't going to cut it. So, you'll need to increase your airfield size as its the tie breaker. If port sizes are equal things will flow to the larger base (port + airfield). Secondly keep demand for oil at Batavia by having a tanker there set to load oil. Once these two are in place then I'd turn off the refinery, as you may as well keep the fuel, which is easier to get to Batavia, and supply coming. Turning off the refinery will lower 'demand' for oil at Soerabaja and make getting it to Batavia easier. Notice I said easier as I doubt you'll be able to get all of it there anyway, although you might. You'll need to be patient as it won't flow right away. Even then I've only seen it flow in spits and spurts. I did manage to get the Northern China oil level down from ~50k to ~25k over the course of several months, but it was an effort. I wouldn't turn off the HI as I doubt it'll have any bearing on oil demand, only fuel. All this being said, as has been pointed out above this is a relatively small gain for the effort, but if ya want to, OK. Of course the above has just been my experience and MHO. YMMV.
