Pertamina had previously said that it would not name a partner to develop the Natuna D-Alpha gas block before the term of condition (ToC) of the project was approved.
The government awarded the project to Pertamina after terminating the contract with ExxonMobil for failing to carry out development of the block as scheduled.
So far eight large oil companies including ExxonMobil Corp, Total SA, Chevron Corp, StatOil Hydro, Royal Dutch/Shell, China National Petroleum Corp and Petronas and Eni Spa have shown interest in the project.
