Oil and gas producer TotalFinaElf confirmed Tuesday that it has interest in new exploration blocks tendered by the Indonesian government last month.
?Any production sharing contractor surely feels interested in new oil and gas blocks,? company spokesperson Ananda Idris told Petromindo.Com.
Last month, the government opened tenders for 11 new oil and gas blocks, mostly offshore.
They are located in four provinces namely Jambi (2), East Java (7), Central Java (1) and East Kalimantan (1).
Meanwhile, reports said U.S. oil and gas giants ExxonMobil Corporation and ChevronTexaco also have shown interest in the oil blocks. (godang)
