Pertamina to build lube plant

State-owned oil and gas firm PT Pertamina (Persero) will build a 75,000 kiloliter per year lubricants blending plant in Gresic, East Java. Originally proposed in 2003, the company was able to secure approval for the project just recently. Pertamina currently has four lube oil blending plants located in Jakarta (two), Cilacap and Surabaya and a grease plant in Jakarta. (October 24, 2006)
