Indonesia’s state-run energy giant Pertamina officially received a cargo of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) from Iran on Thursday, marking Iran’s first shipment as a new supplier of LPG to Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Pertamina Managing Director Dwi Soetjipto welcomed the 44,000 metric tons of LPG transported from Asaluyeh Port in Iran by its VLGC Pertamina Gas 2 vessel, at Kalbut Port in Situbondo, East Java, Jakarta Post reported.<\/p>\n

He added that the LPG shipment from National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) would open up other business development opportunities between Pertamina and NIOC, in both the upstream and downstream sectors.<\/p>\n

“It marks a new chapter of cooperation between Pertamina and the NIOC and makes trade cooperation between Indonesia and Iran more significant,” Dwi said in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the NIOC agreed to supply Pertamina with a total volume of 600,000 tons of LPG for 2016 and 2017.<\/p>\n

Following the arrival of the first cargo, the NIOC will immediately send the next cargo, which is expected to arrive on Nov. 20.<\/p>\n

In addition to the LPG purchase, the two state-run companies signed an agreement to conduct a preliminary study of two giant oilfields in Iran which have an oil reserve of more than five billion barrels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
