SOCHI (Sputnik) — Indonesia hopes that Russian companies will participate in construction and operation of two oil refineries in Indonesia, Director General of Oil and Gas at the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Wiratmaja Puja said Thursday.

"In term of refineries, Russia has good quality and technology. In coming years, we are going to build two refineries. A refinery in East Kalimantan will need $13-14 billion of investment. The infrastructure is already there, we just need investment to built a refinery and to operate it. Another refinery will need $8-9 billion of investment in Java island. This is the opportunity for the Russian partners to invest in Indonesia," Puja said at a plenary session of the Russia- ASEAN Business Forum in Sochi.
