Prattini to replace Galbraith as Caltex?s managing director

Indonesia?s top oil contractor Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI) will get a new managing director, an industry source said on Tuesday.

According to the source, Chris Prattini, currently CPI?s senior vice president in charge of Sumatra operations, will replace RM Galbraith who will soon retire.

The source said the handing over would be effective next month.

Prattini?s position would be filled Fred Nelson from ChevronTexaco?s home office.

CPI currently produce some 620,000 BPD of crude, which account for more than half of Indonesia?s crude production. (godang)
