He says this process has started already and Oil Search Limited, Kumul Petroleum and MRDC were in Gulf recently to present their options to the Gulf Governor.
Haiveta has also engaged former Secretary for Department of Petroleum and Energy Rendal Rimua, and former CHEVRON AND Interoil Executive, Isikeli Taureka.
