Eni launches Indonesia FPU

Indonesia

MILAN, March 21, 2017 – Eni held its naming ceremony for the Jangkrik floating production unit (FPU) in Indonesia on Tuesday, marking the start of the vessel’s journey to the Muara Bakau PSC area.

Once moored and hooked-up in the Makasar Strait, the unit will be connected to 10 deepwater production wells. First gas is scheduled for June.

The 14,300-tonne FPU can process and export up to 12.7 mcm (450 mcf) of natural gas per day. In the future, it will also serve as hub for the Merakes discovery in the neighbouring East Sepinggan Block.

Gas from the Jangkrik Complex fields will be transported via a 79-kilometre subsea pipeline to onshore receiving facilities. Using the East Kalimantan Transportation system, the gas will reach its final destination at the Bontang gas liquefaction plant.

Muara Bakau PSC area is operated by Eni on a 55% stake. It is joined by partners Engie E&P with 33,33% and domestic player Saka Energi Muara Bakau.
