Published in The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, the updated guidelines are a result of a collaboration between the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Heart Failure and Transplantation, Pediatric and Infectious Disease Councils.

Chaired by Dr. Mandeep R. Mehra, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and medical director of the Heart and Vascular Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital - both in Boston, MA - the revised guidelines for heart transplantation candidacy address some of the issues that have arisen since such guidelines were first put in place in 2006.

One key issue has been heart transplantation eligibility for patients with certain medical conditions; the 2006 guidelines stated that patients with particular illnesses should not be considered for the procedure.

    Harbour seeks new partner for Tuna - minister says

    (Adds Petronas comment in paragraph 5)

    By Emily Chow

    KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Reuters) - State energy firms Pertamina
    and Petronas plan to jointly take over Shell's participating interest in Indonesia's Masela gas project, the Indonesian energy minister said on Monday.



    Shell has been seeking to divest its 35% share in Masela and Indonesian authorities are
    keen for the companies to complete the deal to move the project forward after years of delay.


    "They are both doing the negotiation," Energy Minister Arifin Tasrif
    told Reuters, referring to Indonesia's Pertamina and Malaysia's Petronas.


    "They have to finalise what kind of joint scheme they are preparing," he
    said on the sidelines of the Energy Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur, being hosted by
    Petronas.

    Petronas said it "actively seeks new opportunities to ensure the company remains resilient in the evolving energy landscape", but did not comment specifically on the Masela project.


    A Shell spokesperson said the company could not comment on ongoing portfolio activity.


    Indonesia has seen sluggish oil and gas production in recent years due to depleting blocks, while some major
    new projects, such as Masela and Indonesia Deepwater Development (IDD),
    are facing delays as majors such as Shell and Chevron Corp exit projects as part of their global strategy.


    Time is ticking for Indonesia to tap its massive hydrocarbon reserves even as
    countries worldwide move towards non-fossil fuels to reduce emissions.


    Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said at the event that
    hydrocarbons will be an important part of Southeast Asia's energy mix and achieving net-zero emissions targets should not come "at the expense of economic growth or vice versa".


    Pertamina and Petronas are preparing for a sales agreement with Shell, Arifin said,
    adding that he hoped a deal would be settled within a month.


    Earlier this month, Pertamina's CEO said it was finalising a Masela project deal.



    The project is led by Japan's Inpex, which has a 65% stake.



    It was designed to have an annual LNG production volume reaching 9.5
    million metric tons at its peak.

    Earlier this year, Inpex submitted a revised development
    plan to include carbon capture and storage.

    Separately, on the IDD gas project, Arifin said that Italy's Eni has been in discussion to
    take over Chevron's stake in the project "for a long time".


    The government expects negotiations over operation of the
    project to be concluded in July, he added.

    Eni, already a partner in the project, has previously declined to comment
    on the possibility of taking Chevron's stake.
    Located in Makassar strait, IDD is 62% controlled by Chevron.

    In the South China Sea, Indonesia this year has approved a $3 billion development
    plan for the Tuna gas field, which is operated by
    Premier Oil Tuna, a unit of London-listed Harbour Energy.


    Harbour has said sanctions from the European Union and Britain have impacted Tuna's development plan as the block is partly controlled by Russia's Zarubezhneft.


    "Now Premier has to carry on, on their own first, while seeking for new partners to replace the previous one," Arifin added, referring
    to Zarubezhneft.

    I've been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never discovered any
    interesting article like yours. It is lovely price sufficient
    for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent
    content material as you probably did, the internet will probably be much more useful than ever before.

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running
    off the screen in Chrome. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or
    something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought
    I'd post to let you know. The design and style
    look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers
