JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) is known to have communicated with a number of oil and gas companies from the United States regarding plans to import oil and LPG.
Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Yuliot Tanjung said, so far communication has been established with Exxon and Chevron which have jumbo oil production in the US.
"So with several oil producers in America we have also communicated, such as with Exxon," said Yuliot, Tuesday, July 8.
He explained, Exxon is an oil producer of 5.5 million barrels of oil per day, while Chevron produces 3 million barrels per day globally.
So far, he said, the two jumbo oil producers supply oil to Singapore and then are imported by Indonesia.
"So at the time of our indirect position it will be recorded that this is not an export from America but noted from other countries, so this is our record," said Yuliot.
