Eni said the acquisition marks an important step, “particularly for the opportunity” to advance the Gendalo and Gandang gas project development.

Financial details of the deal were undisclosed.

With estimated natural gas reserves of approximately two trillion cubic feet, the Gendalo and Gandang project forms part of the Indonesia Deepwater Development (IDD) in the Ganal PSC, close to the Jangkrik floating production unit.

In a press statement, Eni said: “This is in addition to the producing Bangka gas field, the Gehem and Ranggas discoveries and the significant exploration potential also included in the northern part of the asset, which therefore represent a further relevant consolidation for Eni operations in the East Kalimantan area.”
