Hydrocarbon production in Indonesia mainly occurs in the Muara Bakau exploration block (55 per cent Eni-owned), with 10 subsea wells operating in the Jangkrik gas field and connected to the Floating Production Unit (FPU). The fields within the Muara Bakau exploration block, in the offshore Kutei Basin, are at a depth of about 400 metres and 70km from the East Kalimantan coast. “Jangkrik” means cricket in Indonesian; crickets being small insects able to jump very high, allowing them to move rapidly. The aim was for the project to progress quickly and uncover large reserves – expectations that have so far been met. The project has progressed with excellent time-to-market, ahead of schedule, and in synergy with the existing Bontang terminal and other adjacent gas discoveries. On 22 June 2017, we sent the first shipment of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) produced by the field – a consignment of 22,500m3 from the liquefaction plant in Bontang, East Kalimantan, headed for Bali.
