                    [Summary] => The PNOC-Energy Development Corp. is looking at the possibility of joining a German-led consortium that will bid for a geothermal development project in a Middle eastern country.


"We will be a sub-contractor for a project in the Middle East.  The contract is for the exploration, drilling and reservoir (EDR) management," PNOC-EDC president and CEO Paul A. Aquino said.


Aquino said their group may stand a good chance of bagging the contract since there are a very few companies that have the same expertise as PNOC-EDC.
