Years ago, I contracted with another oil exploration company for a tanker load of drilling fluid to be delivered to Balikpapan.

The port office demanded a 100 percent bribe in American dollars before allowing the cargo to unload.

In a nutshell, that's doing business in Indonesia. Always had to keep such dealings one or two steps away through distributors in Singapore. We left it to our partners there to deal with the endemic corruption.
