Indonesia minister says to offer East Natuna gas field to Inpex

Indonesia intends to offer the East Natuna natural gas block to Japan's
Inpex Corp to develop, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut
Pandjaitan said on Wednesday.

State energy firm Pertamina had expected to sign a production sharing
contract with ExxonMobil and Thailand's PTTEP for the project last year, but
ExxonMobil said last week it was ending discussions.

"For East Natuna, Exxon and PTT has left (the negotiation), now we want to
try offering to Inpex," Pandjaitan told reporters.
