Page 1 of 2 JAKARTA : BP Migas opened opportunities for local companies Maluku berkongsi with PT Pertamina in getting the right participation of Masela Block, which is the party of Indonesia (PI).Head of Executive Agency for Upstream Oil and Gas (BP Migas) R. Priyono said the Maluku provincial government expressed readiness to take participating interests amounting to 10% of the national sections through areas owned enterprises (enterprises) of Maluku. In fact, he said, Maluku Governor Karel Albert Ralahalu expressed readiness to form a joint venture company named PT Energi Nusantara Maluku with third parties. BP Migas suggested that the enterprises holding company Pertamina as a state. The reason, he said, other than Pertamina's status as an SOE, the company has previously filed a desire to get a PI in Block Masela. "Maluku ready to get the right claimed that participation. But before Pertamina also has filed a similar case. It must find a way out and if it can be mated only the interests of both companies," he told Bisnis.com. Reason unite the two companies was based on several considerations, including Block Masela administratively it was in the Maluku waters, while Pertamina is the Indonesian state-owned oil and gas. In addition, he said, a combination of two regional and national companies will make the PI really fall into the hands of national. "If mated regional and national companies, it can share the rights of participation there. Because, there is a PI who should become the national quota, but rather fall into foreign hands, as in the Cepu Block." By: Rudi Ariffianto - www.bisnis.com
