In addition to the technical rules, the BPH Migas or the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources will immediately issue it,” explained Mulyanto to CNBC Indonesiaquoted on Saturday (28/5/2022).
Meanwhile, the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas) submitted a proposed technical guideline and criteria for those entitled to purchase Pertalite which had been submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
