----------------------- Yeap, ini adalah perairan, East Ambalat block: Speaking of investment, Indonesia signed 15 production sharing contracts last month with companies, including Anadarko Petroleum, Unocal, Petronas and ENI. "The contractors have committed for exploration spending of around $200 million," said Mines and Energy Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said. Anadarko will explore the Madura III Block, and Petronas will work the Madura IV Block, both offshore northeastern Java. Italy's ENI will explore the Bulungan Block offshore East Kalimantan, while Unocal will search the East Ambalat Block off East Kalimantan. The latter area is where Indonesian and Malaysian claims overlap. Petronas had said last September that its plans to develop two new deepwater blocks in the Sulawesi Sea might be disrupted by Indonesian claims to the same area. The rest of the contracts were signed mostly with local companies. Hoping to break the logjam, Indonesian officials have asked state- owned Pertamina to reopen negotiations with ExxonMobil, in a bid to resolve a contractual dispute over developing a key oil field on the island of Java. "We have already (instructed) Pertamina to start renegotiating with ExxonMobil," said Indonesian Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Aburizal Bakrie, during a briefing with reporters at an investment seminar held by the Indonesia-Japan Private Sector Joint Forum On Investment. Bakrie has also spoken with Exxon-Mobil about starting negotiations with Pertamina, but he did not elaborate. ExxonMobil bought rights to Cepu field in 2000 from a company run by a son of Indonesia's ex- dictator, Suharto. That firm obtained the rights to exploit the field from Pertamina under a technical assistance contract. -------------- Nahhhh? Gajah bertarung dengan gajah, rakyat kejepit ditengah... Salam danardono ------------------------ disambung: Soon after that, ExxonMobil found large reserves that Pertamina had failed to locate during its own 30 years of exploration. Nevertheless, Indonesia has insisted that ExxonMobil share a portion of its find with Pertamina, in exchange for a 20-year extension of ExxonMobil's contract over the area. The current contract expires in 2010. The field lies on the border of Central Java and East Java, and has proven reserves of 600 million bbl, making it the largest Indonesian discovery since the 1960s. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had assured US President George W. Bush in November that he would seek immediate resolution of the dispute, but neither side has announced a breakthrough in the matter. --------------------- Enngg ing enggg... ------------------------ Yahoo!
