Conflicting statements over Lapindo disaster
The newly appointed director general for oil and gas at the ministry of energy Mr Luluk Sumiarso said yesterday that Lapindo Brantas Inc could claim the cost incurred from hot mudflow disaster in its Banjar Panji-1 drilling to government. His statement is completely the opposite of Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Body (BP Migas) chairman Kardaya Warnika who rejected such claim. So, who's right?
Both officers quoted the contract as the rationale behind their statements. I would say it's just way too premature to make such statements as it's not clear yet whether there were miss of conducts during the drilling that caused the disaster.
Luluk also defended Lapindo saying its partners (Medco and Santos) should be held responsible for the disaster as well while Medco rejected to take that arguing Lapindo is the operator. On this issue, would be better if Lapindo, Medco & Santos disclosed their agreements on operatorship.

This conflict clearly pictures that political decision has always have different view with business decision; logic or not logic....
Sad.. but True....
And at the end of the day, the masters of the puppets will win...
well.. Luluk must be the best friend of Bakrie's at the moment ;) At the end, Lapindo will probably get a slap on the wrist..
Maybe I should return to Indo to open a business...sounds like you can and do get away w/ everything
Well, certainly now is the time mi amigo...,
Just ensure the guys at investment coordinating board that you'll open working opportunities for many unemployed-but-skilled/trained workforce....
