US to Fund Indonesian Study on Kalimantan-Java Pipeline

By Tom Wright

JAKARTA, Sept 9 (Dow Jones) - The U.S. government will fund Indonesia's
state-owned gas company Pertamina (P.PTM) to study the possibility of
building a gas pipeline between East Kalimantan and Java islands.

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency will award the grant at a signing
ceremony Monday at 0300 GMT, the U.S. embassy said in a statement. It gave
no further details.

East Kalimantan is home to the Bontang refinery, Indonesia's liquefied
natural gas complex.

Indonesia's government is trying to use more gas for domestic consumption as
oil supplies begin to run low.
