JAKARTA - The Federation of Pertamina United Labor Unions (FSPPB) has threatened to stop gas supplies to state gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) following a planned acquisition of PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas) by PT PGN.
FSPPB President Ugan Gandar reported on Tuesday that Pertamina Gas, a subsidiary of state oil and gas firm Pertamina, currently supplies 250 million metric standard cubit feet per day to PGN. "We will stop the supplies if the planned acquisition is realized," he stated.
Rumors were rife that State Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan had issued a statement on May 7, 2014, to merge the two companies. But Dahlan categorically denied that he had issued the statement. He assured that the talks on the merger of PGN and PT Pertamina Gas will not materialize after they agreed to build business synergy.
"Both the state-owned gas firms have given up the plan and are willing to cooperate. So, there is no urgency in the merger of Pertagas and PGN," he remarked after attending the launch of the Mandiri Institute here on Monday.
Ugan noted that Pertamina had not received an official letter from the state enterprises minister cancelling the planned acquisition. "If Mr Dahlan cancels the acquisition, I will ask him to send us an official letter of cancellation. On the other hand, if the letter is a fake, the case should be reported to the police to trace the source," he pointed out.
Ugan noted that the acquisition of Pertagas by PGN is a reckless action. "PGN is 40 per cent owned by foreign investors. It is unreasonable for the government to hand over Pertagas, which is an asset to the foreign investors," he added.
