JAKARTA (JP): Mobil Oil Indonesia Inc., a production sharing
contractor of state oil and gas company Pertamina, has begun gas
production at its North Sumatra Offshore (NSO) "A" gas field in
the Strait of Malacca.

The spokesman of Pertamina's foreign contractor management
body, Sidick Nitikusuma, said in a statement on Tuesday the start
of gas production was officially marked by Pertamina president
Martiono Hadianto and Mobil Oil Indonesia president and general
manager RI Wilson on Sept. 29.

Sidick said NSO "A" gas field would produce 450 million cubic
feet of natural gas per day to feed Pertamina's Arun liquefied
natural gas plant in Aceh, some 100 kilometers away from the gas
field.

Mobil Oil Indonesia, a subsidiary of American oil and gas firm
Mobil-Exxon, discovered NSO "A" gas field in 1972. (jsk)
