Shell Plc. News:
In a significant development for Indonesia’s energy sector, state energy companies Pertamina and Petronas are reportedly in negotiations to jointly acquire Shell’s participating interest in the Masela gas project. The Indonesian energy minister, Arifin Tasrif, confirmed the ongoing discussions, expressing optimism that the deal would facilitate the advancement of the project, which has faced numerous delays.
Shell has been actively seeking to divest its 35% stake in the Masela gas project, located in Indonesia’s eastern province of Maluku. The project, estimated to hold significant reserves of natural gas, has been in the works for years, with multiple hurdles impeding its progress. Indonesian authorities are keen to see the project move forward, and the involvement of Pertamina and Petronas in the negotiations is viewed as a positive step toward its realization.
Energy Minister Arifin Tasrif revealed to Reuters that both Pertamina and Petronas are engaged in discussions regarding the acquisition of Shell’s participating interest in Masela. The involvement of two prominent state energy companies demonstrates the strategic importance of the project and the desire to expedite its development.
While Pertamina, Indonesia’s national oil company, has a strong presence in the domestic energy sector, Petronas, Malaysia’s state-owned oil and gas company, is renowned for its global reach. Petronas’ interest in the Masela project aligns with its ongoing efforts to secure new opportunities and ensure resilience in the evolving energy landscape. However, the company did not provide specific comments regarding the Masela project.
