The Merakes natural gas project, offshore Indonesia, is an example of how we optimise resources to increase efficiency and productivity. The gas extracted from the subsea wells uses the transport infrastructure and processing plants already used for Jankrik, another offshore gas project not far away. Thanks to this interconnection, we were able to start the project quickly and without having to build new facilities.
Both Merakes and Jangkrik are located offshore Indonesia, in a region of great importance for natural gas supplies as it is a crossroads for markets in Asia, the Pacific and the Americas. In addition to natural gas production, we are also present in the country with local development projects we carry out together with institutions and stakeholders, which is an essential aspect of our way of operating.

Merakes is a natural gas project in the Kutei Basin, offshore Indonesia. Gas extracted from subsea wells is processed by the same Floating Production Unit (FPU) that also processes gas from the nearby Jangkrik project. The FPU is operated by Eni and, by optimising the interconnection between the two projects, it achieves a production capacity of 21 million standard cubic metres of gas per day. By using the transport infrastructure already used for Jangkrik, part of Merakes' production is sent to the Onshore Receiving Facility (ORF) in Senipah, from where it reaches the internal market. Another part of the production is processed at the Bontang LNG liquefaction plant, one of the most reliable in the world, which supplies liquefied natural gas (LNG) for both the internal market and for export.
