The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is requiring state-owned energy giant Pertamina and its partners to pay a total of US$33.5 million in signature bonuses and make firm investment commitments worth $556.45 million within three years before taking over eight expiring oil and gas blocks this year.
Shortly after he took office, Djoko Siswanto -- the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry’s new oil and gas director general -- pledged to sign the contract for the development of eight expiring oil and gas blocks next week, including the ones to be taken over by state-owned energy giant Pertamina.
