Eni’s Maha gas field off Indonesia kicks off production

Italian energy firm Eni has started gas production from the Maha field in the Kutei Basin, offshore Indonesia, to supply the domestic market and the Pertamina-operated Bontang liquefaction plant.

Eni announced the start of production on Friday, 21 months after the final investment decision (FID).

Located in the West Ganal block at a water depth of approximately 1,000 m, the field comprises two subsea production wells connected to the existing Jangkrik floating production unit (FPU) by approximately 12 km of flowlines.

Following initial processing onboard the FPU, the gas will be transported through the pipeline network to supply the domestic market and the Bontang liquefaction plant, which supplies LNG to both domestic and export markets, Eni said.
