and gas blocks across Indonesia through a direct offer system. A
MEMR press statement noted that the companies have committed
investments of $235.8 million over three years, including $25.5

GOI Divests Shares In State-Owned Gas Firm
------------------------------------------
¶5. On December 15, the GOI divested itself of a 5.3% stake in
state-owned gas distribution firm Perusahaan Gas Negara Tbk (PGN),
raising Rp 2.1 trillion ($233 million) in proceeds. With the
divestment, the GOI's stake in PGN decreased to 54.1%. The GOI had
hoped to raise as much as Rp 3 trillion ($332 million) from the sale
to plug an expected budget shortfall this year of Rp 40 trillion
($4.4 billion). The GOI raised Rp 1.2 trillion ($133 million) from
JAKARTA 00000067 003 OF 005

parliament.
GOI Appoints New Pertamina Board
--------------------------------
¶6. On December 8, Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Sugiharto
swore in retired Indonesian Military General Endriartono Sutarto as
the new Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of state-owned oil
and gas company Pertamina. Sugiharto also swore in two other new
members of the Board of Commissioners: Ministry of State-Owned
Enterprise Assistant Deputy for Strategic Industries Irnanda and
OPEC Representative Board Chairman Maizar Rahman. Sutarto replaced
Martiono Hadianto, while the other two new members replaced Energy
and Mineral Resources Department Director General of Electricity and
Energy Usage J. Purwono, and Iin Arifin Takhyan, who was appointed
as Pertamina Vice CEO last March. According to press reports, the
GOI decided on the new Pertamina board lineup on December 5 during a

Pertamina Raises Industry LPG Price
-----------------------------------
¶7. Effective December 13, state-owned oil and gas company Pertamina
raised the price of bulk liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for medium
and large manufactures by 10.8 percent from Rp 5,280 ($0.58) per
kilogram (kg) to Rp 5,852 ($0.64) per kg. Pertamina spokesman
Toharso said that the move would cut losses Pertamina incurs by
selling LPG below the price it purchases it from suppliers.
Pertamina said it would try to avoid increasing the price of LPG for
households and smaller industries through the end of the year.
Pertamina To Secure Local Loans For Eight Projects
--------------------------------------------- -----
¶8. During its December 12 general shareholders meeting, Pertamina
management agreed to secure a loan of $500 million from a local bank
consortium including Bank Mandiri and Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI).
The proceeds of the loan will finance eight oil and gas projects
commencing in 2007. Newly appointed Pertamina Board of
Commissioners Chairman Endriartono Sutarto said that the bank
consortium had initially offered $1.4 billion, but Pertamina decided
to obtain only $500 million. Pertamina Director for Finance
Frederick T. Siahaan told the press that a portion of the loan
proceeds will finance the Cepu Block development project ($50
million), the construction of the Kamojang Geothermal Power Plant
Unit 4 ($80 million), and the development of Pondok Tengah field in
Bekasi, West Java. Pertamina will also use a portion of the loan to
purchase eight 70,000 deadweight tonnage capacity oil tankers; build
a primary transit terminal in Tuban, East Java; and revamp several
oil refineries, including those in Balongan and Cilacap on Java
Island, and another in East Kalimantan.
Aceh Flooding Affects Oil Production
-----------------------------------
¶9. Severe flooding in Aceh and North Sumatra Provinces starting on
December 22 has significantly affected Pertamina's Rantau upstream
oil production operations located in the border area of the two
provinces, according to the company. Pertamina partially suspended
operations in Rantau where, as of December 25, 98 percent of its
facilities were flooded by water. Rantau is a mature Pertamina's
oil and gas field operation, which has been supplying gas to North
Sumatra's Belawan power plant at a declining rate. The flooding has
also affected facilities at the Arun block gas fields in Aceh owned
JAKARTA 00000067 004 OF 005
by ExxonMobil. In spite of the floods, ExxonMobile has been able to
continue its production activities at full capacity.
Tender For Coal-Fired Power Plants
----------------------------------
¶10. State-owned electricity company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN)
on December 18 opened tenders for the construction of 25 coal-fired
power plants outside Java Island. The tenders are part of the GOI's
"fast track" program to build an additional 10,000 watts of
electricity generating capacity by 2009. Pre-qualification
documents for construction of power plants on Java Island allow
tender participants to provide 85 percent of project funding in the
form of export credits. However, the pre-qualification invitation
for coal-fired power plants outside Java Island allows tender
participants to propose financing through any form of export credit
scheme or local financing to cover the entire project cost. PLN
Director for Finance Parno Isworo, however, said that funding
schemes for the construction of coal-fired power plants outside Java
Island are still under discussion. Head of the "fast track"
program's implementation team Yoga Pratomo added that PLN would
cover some of the projects' cost by issuing bonds through Indonesian
banks. PLN raised $1 billion through an international bond issuance
in October.
PLN Appoints Contractor To Build Power Plant
--------------------------------------------
¶11. On December 14, publicly listed engineering and electricity
company Truba Alam Manunggal (Truba) and Hong Kong-based Shanghai
Electric Generation Group Co. Ltd. (SEG) signed an MOU agreeing to
jointly build and operate a 2x125 megawatt, $200 million coal fired
power plant in Kuala Tanjung, North Sumatra. PLN directly appointed
SEG to develop the power plant. Head of the local mining and energy
office Washington Tambunan said that PLN made the direct appointment
due to the acute electricity crisis in the province. Truba
President Director Arifin Wiguna said construction of the power
plant would start in January 2007 and begin commercial operation in
¶2008. He noted that his company would soon sign an agreement
whereby PLN would purchase electricity from the plant at $4.5 cents
per kilowatt-hour (KwH). Earlier in November, Truba and SED signed
another MOU with local company Central Pertiwi Bahari to build a
2x25, $60 million coal fired power plant in North Lampung.
Natural Gas Sellers And Buyers Sign Agreements
--------------------------------------------- -
¶12. Pertamina subsidiary Pertamina Eksplorasi & Produksi (Pertamina
EP), Korean oil and gas firm Kodeco Energy, and Indonesian energy
company Lapindo signed seven supply contracts on December 19 for
695.8 trillion British thermal units (TBTU) of gas, of which roughly
79 percent will be allocated for gas-fired power plants in Java.
Total value of the agreements is $2.8 billion. Upstream oil and gas
authority BP Migas Chairman Kardaya Warnika said he hopes the
agreements will encourage other production sharing contracts (PSCs)
aimed at meeting domestic gas supply requirements.

¶13. Elsewhere, BP Migas said in a December 19 statement that it had
facilitated a Cargo Loading Agreement between PT Pertamina EP and
state-owned fertilizers PT Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM) in Aceh and PT
Pupuk Kalimantan Timur (PKT) in East Kalimantan. Under the deal,
Pertamina will swap a total of 8.9 TBTU of gas or about 3 cargoes of
liquefied natural gas (LNG), which was previously allocated for PKT,
to support the operation of PIM. According to the BP Migas
statement, the swap will begin in January 2007 and support the
operation of the PIM fertilizer plant for six months.
Kalimantan Gold And Oxiana Close Deal
--------------------------------------
¶14. According to press reports, Bermuda mining company Kalimantan
Gold Corporation Limited (KGC) announced on December 18 that it had
finalized an option agreement with Australian copper and gold mining
company Oxiana Ltd. for exploration of Kalimantan's copper and gold
prospects. The agreement covers three key areas, Baroi, Beruang and
Mansur, which form part of KGC's 941 square kilometer holdings in
Central Kalimantan. Under the agreement, Oxiana will reportedly
initially invest $2.5 million to drill 12 deep prospecting holes
over a period of twelve to eighteen months. Oxiana then has an
option for taking a 40 percent stake in completing a pre-feasibility
study and an option for a 66.7% stake for completing a bankable
feasibility study. If any of the projects proceed to the mine
development stage, the deed allows Oxiana to provide significant
funding assistance for financing KGC's share of mine development.
KGC reportedly starting working on the Kalimantan project in 1996,
and has reportedly invested to date roughly $12 million for the
drilling of 70 prospecting holes.
