Indonesia - Brazil Biofuels Agreement
--------------------------------------
¶4. On March 15 in Jakarta, GOI Agriculture Minister Anton
Apriyantono and Brazilian Agriculture Minister Luis Carlos Guedes
Pinto signed a bilateral agreement aimed at intensifying biofuels
cooperation to allow Indonesia to start large scale ethanol
production. Under the agreement, Brazil pledged to provide the GOI
with technical help to produce ethanol from sugarcane and manioc.
The agreement came a week after President Bush and Brazilian
President da Silva agreed to promote ethanol use and increased
production in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Pertamina Accepts Defeat in Karaha Bodas Case
--------------------------------------------- -
JAKARTA 00001009 003 OF 004
¶5. On March 16 Pertamina abandoned its attempt to have a Cayman
Islands court intervene in its long-running dispute with the Karaha
Bodas Company (KBC). The decision followed a March 16 ruling by the
U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York refusing to
allow Pertamina to move forward with its fraud claims against KBC in
the Caribbean island. Pertamina had been seeking to stop KBC from
collecting $305 million in GOI funds frozen in the U.S. The suit
resulted from the GOI's decision in 1998 to cancel the construction
of the Karaha Bodas geothermal power plant in Garut, West Java as a
result of the regional financial crisis. KBC won a $261 million
international arbitration award in 1999 that Pertamina had been
fighting since that time. On March 16, Pertamina's Managing
Director Ari Soemarno told reporters that the company would respect
the court's decision. With accrued interest Pertamina currently
owes KBC $319 million. KBC is a consortium owned by the U.S. firms
Florida Power and Light (40.5%) and Caithness Energy (40.5%),
Japan's Tomen (9%), and local firm PT Sumarah Daya Sakti (10%).
PGN and Bukit Asam Sign Coal Bed Methane MOU
--------------------------------------------
¶6. State-owned gas firm PGN and State coal firm PT Tambang Batubara
Bukit Asam (PTBA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on
March 11 to develop coal-bed methane (CBM) at PTBA's mining
concession in Tanjung Enim, South Sumatra. Minister of Energy and
Mineral Resources Purnomo Yusgiantoro said that CBM from the scheme
would be used to supply PGN's South Sumatra-West Java pipeline.
PTBA claims it has a CBM potential of 2.6 trillion cubic feet at its
concession, equivalent to 468 million barrels of oil. Industry
watchers are uncertain how much of that gas will actually be
recoverable with current technology.
Pertamina Eyes Offshore Blocks in East Kalimantan
--------------------------------------------- ----
¶7. On March 8, Pertamina officials expressed interest in acquiring
non-operational 10% stakes in Chevron's offshore East Kalimantan
Rapak and Ganal PSCs, according to local press reports. Currently,
Chevron owns 80% of the two blocks while Italy's ENI holds 20%.
Under GOI law a local firm may acquire up to a 10% interest in any
block prior to its development. The Ganal PSC contains the Gehem
and Gendalo gas fields; Rapak is home to the Ranggas gas field.
Chevron expects to start production in the two PSCs in 2013.
Separately, a Chevron spokesperson on March 9 said that it would
have no objection to taking on Pertamina as a partner, but
emphasized that the decision on who should get shares in the blocks
rests solely with the GOI. In addition, Pertamina Upstream director
Sukusen Soemarinda said on March 16 the company is also interested
in acquiring a 10% share in the offshore Mahakam PSC. France's
Total and Japan's Inpex each own 50% of the block, which produces
20,000 barrels per day of crude and 2.5 billion cubic feet per day
of gas.
Bumi to Purchase Stake in Newmont Mine
---------------------------------------
¶8. On March 16 Bumi Resources, a mining company affiliated with the
Bakrie Group, signed an MOU with the West Nusa Tenggara provincial
government and the West Sumbawa regency government to finance their
purchase of a 3% stake in the Newmont Nusa Tenggara (NNT) gold mine.
Bumi and the local goverments will buy the 3% stake under the GOI's
mandatory divestment program for mines. Bumi will own 85% of the
shared stake while the local administrations will own 15%. The 3%
share is worth $109 million. Based on its mining Contract of Work
signed in 1986, NNT is obligated to offer over 25 years up to 51% of
its shares to the GOI or local companies. Local firm, PT Pukuafu
Indah already owns 20% of the company. NNT must divest the
remaining 31% by 2010.
Pertamina Raises Retail Fuel Prices
------------------------------------
¶9. Pertamina raised retail prices of certain fuels for industrial
users beginning March 1 due to higher global oil prices, according
to a company spokesperson. Industrial users saw the cost of their
main fuels, premium gasoline and diesel oil, jump by 14 and 12
percent, respectively. The adjustment was inline with the changes
in the Mid Oil Platts Singapore index for February 2007, according
to local and international market analysts.

Exploration agreements into the Kangean PSC
--------------------------------------------
¶10. Local firm Energi Mega Persada (EMP) announced on March 7 that
it had signed Heads of Agreements (HOA) on March 1 with Mitsubishi
Corporation and Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex) to make them
partners in EMP's Kangean PSC offshore block (East Java). Under the
HOA, Mitsubishi and Japex each paid $360 million for their
respective 25% share in the Kangean PSC. EMP will retain the
remaining 50%. EMP, which is controlled by the Bakrie Group,
estimates that the PSC holds reserves of 1.74 TCF of gas and 1
million barrels of oil and condensate.
Bumi Sells Stake To India's Tata
--------------------------------
¶11. India's Tata Power announced on March 30 that it will pay $1.3
billion to purchase 30% equity stakes in two major Indonesian coal
producers, PT Kaltim Prima Coal, and PT Arutmin Indonesia, and a
related trading company, all of which are owned by the Indonesian
energy firm Bumi Resources. Together, KPC and Arutmin produced
approximately 53.5 million tons of coal in 2006 with over 95%
exported. Bumi has said it plans to increase coal production by 50%
over the next three years. As part of the deal, Tata Power said it
would also buy 10 million tons of coal from Kaltim Prima Coal for
two proposed power projects, totaling 7,000 MW, it plans to build in
India by 2012. Bumi paid a total of $685 million for the two coal
mining firms in 2001 and 2003. The current deal values those assets
at $4.3 billion.
