There's a lot to that Unocal connection involving Clinton State Department official Robin Raphel. For instance check out these old threads:

Terrorists had a friend in Clinton White House called Robin

Rep. ROHRABACHER (1999) -- How the Clinton Administration brought the Taliban to power

Politicians who are Cashing in on the Caspian

Also, the complete version of this article doesn't appear to be up anymore, but in my archives I have a version of this article which mentions Unocal being connected to Warren Christopher's diplomacy in Indonesia:

The Corruption of Warren Christopher

The version I have archived includes this information:

Not all of the information is coming from the files of John Huang. A declassified November 1998 State Dept. cable dedicated an entire section on "DEALING WITH UNWANTED PARTNERS." According to the State Dept. cable, U.S. electric power manufacturer El Paso International entered into the Sengkang power project with Suharto's second daughter, "Tutut." "Tutut holds two and one half percent in PT Triahsra Sarana, which has a 5 percent share in PT Energi Sengkang. According to Sengkang, Tutut does not intend to divest from the project at this time." The "Unwanted Partners" section also reveals yet another kickback, this time for a well-known Suharto "crony" instead of a relative. "Unocal executives told resources officer that the firm is close to reaching a deal with its partner, PT Nusamba (controlled by former President Soeharto crony Bob Hasan) to sever ties in two production sharing contracts (PSC) in east Kalmantan and East Java."
