U.S. oil giant to open school

BANDUNG: Oil giant, PT Caltex Pacific Indonesia plans to open
a polytechnics school in Riau's capital Pekanbaru in September as
part of its community development service.

The company's contract to develop and manage the Coastal Plain
Pekanbaru (CPP) oil block will expire next year, but has
allocated US$7 million to build infrastructure and other
facilities for the school.

As part of its operational preparation, the United States
company, a joint venture of Chevron and Texaco, has sent 20 newly
recruited lecturers to the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB)
for further training.

"The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Caltex and ITB
was signed in Bandung over the weekend," the company said in a
statement, released on Saturday. (25)
