JAKARTA (JP): Papua New Guinea (PNG) will buy fuel products
from Indonesia because the prices are cheaper than those offered
by neighboring Australia, a senior official at state oil and gas
firm Pertamina said.

Head of Pertamina's Irian Jaya unit R.A. Haripurwanto said on
Wednesday that PNG was interested in buying premium gasoline,
automotive diesel and kerosene.

"PNG will send its tankers to pick up the fuel products in
Jayapura (Irian Jaya's capital)," he told the media.

He added that PNG would import 900 kiloliters of automotive
diesel per month. (rei/34)
