KrisEnergy (SGX:SK3) has awarded the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the Lengo gas development offshore East Java in Indonesia to Synergy Engineering.

Indonesia-based survey contractor, Java Offshore, has also started to work on the geophysical and geotechnical surveys

The Lengo gas accumulation, in the Bulu production sharing contract (PSC), has a programme of four development wells, an unmanned wellhead platform and a 20-inch, 65-km export pipeline already approved.

Talks are underway on gas sales and production is expected to begin approximately 24 months after a final investment decision.

Production of 70mln cubic feet per day at plateau is expected.

Chris Gibson-Robinson, Director Exploration & Production said: “We are making good headway on the Lengo development.

“The surveys, which include a geotechnical borehole survey at the location of the production facilities, will provide important site-specific data for the next phase of engineering.

“The FEED will define the wellhead platform, export pipeline and onshore receiving facility for the ensuing engineering, procurement, construction and installation bidding phase.”

Lengo is part of Kris’s plant to create a gas aggregation hub offshore East Java, where it operated the adjacent East Muriah and Sakti PSCs.

KrisEnergy holds a 42.5% operated working interest in the Bulu PSC.
