ARII gets new president<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The state oil company Pertamina reported
\nyesterday that its production-sharing contractor, Atlantic
\nRichfield Indonesia Inc. (ARII), will install Leon Codron as its
\nnew president today.<\/p>\n
\"Codron will replace T.N. Machmud, who is entering his
\nretirement period after holding the post for 11 years,\" Pertamina
\nspokesman Didi Sunarwinadi announced yesterday.<\/p>\n
Cordon is the vice president for international marketing
\naffairs of ARII's principal company, Arco Cop., in Plano, Texas.<\/p>\n
Didi said that the replacement of Machmud by a foreign
\nnational should not be seen as the failure of the company's
\nmanagement to prepare Indonesian candidates for the post.<\/p>\n
The company has been criticized by its own staff members and
\ngovernment officials due to its failure to promote an Indonesian
\nexecutive to the top level of the company to replace Machmud.
\nThey said the appointment of any top foreign executive of Arco
\nwould be a \"setback\" for the company's management.<\/p>\n
ARII, now the biggest supplier of natural gas for the state
\nelectricity company PT PLN and Petrokimia Gresik, has concessions
\noffshore West Java, in Babo and Waringan, both in Irian Jaya, and
\nin Kolasi in Sulawesi. (fhp)<\/p>",
