Iran has also confirmed to provide crude oil for the refinery, Reuters reported, adding that the Indonesian company pleaded a state firm, called Pertamina, to consider the possibilities of the project.
The report says that Indonesia has already imported 25 percent of its need for oil products; so this new project would help the country to fulfill its requirements.
Reuters also quoted Takiani as saying that Iran and Indonesia have agreed to work on an Iranian oil field, a claim previously denied by the Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh.
