BPMigas says Chevron's deepwater projects in Indonesia have 2.3 Tcf of gasPosted by McFadden Moore on February 1st, 2021 Chevron's deepwater tasks in the Makassar Strait, offshore East Kalimantan, could include 2.3 Tcf of natural gas as well as the jobs might require investments totaling billion, a senior authorities at Indonesia's upstream regulatory authority BPMigas stated Tuesday. " ATMP might change depending upon the front-end engineering style and final investment choice," BPMigas' head of interaction Gde Pradnyana said. The deepwater tasks are the Bangka, Gehem, Gendalo, Maha and Gandang areas. Bangka is expected to be on stream in Q1 2015; Gendalo, Maha and also Gandang, called the Gendalo center, are expected to start production in Q4 2016; and also Gehem is expected to begin first manufacturing in Q2 2017, Pradnyana stated. Bangka is anticipated to create 120,000 Mcf/day of gas and 2,880 b/d of condensate; and also the Gendalo, Gehem, Maha and also Gandang fields are expected to create a total of 1.12 Bcf/day of gas as well as 55,000 b/d of condensate, Pradnyana claimed earlier. When asked to comment, the firm's spokesman Morgan Crinklaw claimed in an email: "Chevron does not talk about future task timelines or manufacturing projections. We are remaining to progress the Gendalo-Gehem and also Bangka jobs through the layout stage and also are working very closely with the government to acquire needed authorizations as well as approvals to advance the task." Chevron plans to pierce 28 deepsea wells in the five areas, which will certainly be integrated into 2 drifting manufacturing units and a subsea tie-back. The two floating production devices are the Gendalo hub, which will incorporate the Gendalo, Maha and Gandang fields; and also the second device is the Gehem hub, a drifting production system in Gehem area. The Bangka field will certainly be attached to a production unit in West Seno, which is additionally run by Chevron. The final investment decision for the Bangka field is anticipated to be made in 2013, and also for the Gendalo center and Gehem hub it will be a year later on, according to the BPMigas web site. Indonesia has actually seen its crude and also condensate result tip over the years due to natural decrease at its aging areas, while its gas result has raised. Indonesia's gas books are anticipated to get to 104.49 Tcf in 2012. The nation produced 8.846 Bcf/d of gas in 2011, above its target of 7.769 Bcf/d; and also Indonesia has actually established a gas production target at 7.655 Bcf/d for 2012.Like it? Share it!
