SANTA MARIA (Reuters): Saba Petroleum Co. said Wednesday it is looking for ways to raise shareholder value, including possible sale of a stake in its Jatiluhur Block in Indonesia.

Saba said it plans to engage an investment banking firm to assist in developing alternatives.

"The mandate is consistent with the company's view that the marketplace has not adequately valued the company and its assets, such as its Indonesian Jatiluhur Block," Ilyas Chaudhary, chief executive officer of Saba, said in a statement.

"The Company is presently in serious negotiations with several large oil companies which have expressed a desire to acquire an interest in the Jatiluhur Block on terms favorable to Saba."
