    SUBJECT: SUBJECT:  DEMARCHE REQUEST RE POTENTIAL INDONESIAN
    INTEREST IN OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM,S FORMER BLOCK 15 IN
    ECUADOR

    REF: STATE 81527

    ¶1. (U) This is an action request; see para 7.

    ¶2. (SBU) Summary:  Press reports indicate Indonesia's
    state-run oil company Pertamina is interested in running
    Occidental Petroleum's (Oxy)  former Block 15 in Ecuador
    under an Energy Cooperation MOU signed between the two
    countries in July.  French, Indonesian, and Ecuadorian papers
    ran the story.  An Ecuadorian industry contact believes the
    story was promoted by the GOE to soothe Indonesian feelings
    after state-run companies were shut out of a recent sale of
    Petroecuador's crude, and that Pertamina does not have the
    funds for such a large investment.  Nevertheless, Embassy
    Quito recommends that Washington transmit reftel to Embassy
    Jakarta in order to advise the Government of Indonesia of the
    risks of becoming involved in Block 15.  End Summary.

    ¶3. (U) Background:  In May, the Government of Ecuador
    declared Oxy's operations contract null, and state oil
    company Petroecuador took over Oxy's assets, operations, and
    revenue.  Oxy believes this action violated the U.S.-Ecuador
    Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT).  The case is currently
    pending international arbitration.

    ¶4. (SBU) Reftel noted that Petroecuador does not have the
    level of expertise to operate the sophisticated technology
    that Oxy installed to run Block 15, and may seek assistance
    from third-party state oil companies.  It instructed a number
    of embassies (although not Jakarta) to demarche host
    governments on the issue and warned of the pitfalls of
    foreign parastatal involvement in Block 15.  To date, no
    foreign parastatal has agreed to help operate Block 15.

    ¶5. (U) Foreign Minister of Ecuador Carrion visited Indonesia
    in July and signed an energy cooperation MOU.  He is quoted
    in the press as saying that "Pertamina has reaffirmed its
    interest in developing Oxy's Block 15 together with
    Petroecuador."  The MOU reportedly calls for cooperation on
    the drilling, production, and refinement of crude oil, but we
    understand that it does not specifically address Block 15.

    ¶6. (SBU) Comment:  Indications from the head of the
    hydrocarbons association in Ecuador (and our own perceptions)
    are that Pertamina is unlikely to become involved in Block
    ¶15.  Per the hydrocarbons expert, Pertamina does not have the
    resources for such a large investment, particularly for one
    so far from Indonesia.  He believes the GOE statement was
    made to soothe Indonesian feelings after Petroecuador's
    recent sale of crude oil went to private rather than
    state-run firms (Ecuador claims to favor state-run oil
    companies and has signed cooperation agreements with
    several).  Although Embassy Quito believes Indonesian
    development of Block 15 is unlikely, given the GOE statement,
    we recommend that Embassy Jakarta pass the reftel message to
    the Indonesian government .

    ¶7. (SBU) Action Request:  We request that Washington instruct
    Embassy Jakarta to demarche the Indonesian government using
    the talking points from Reftel para 6.  End Action Request.
    JEWELL
