Production start-up  Merakes East field

Wednesday, May 14 2025

Fossil Energy – Indonesia

Eni has started gas production from the Merakes East field, in the Kutei basin, offshore Indonesia.

The field is in the East Sepinggan block (Eni 85%, Op.) and will contribute up to 100 MMSCFD of gas, or approximately 18,000 boepd, to Eni’s production.

Merakes East is located at a water depth of 1,600 meters, approximately 10 km east of the Merakes Field. It is connected via a subsea link to the Jangkrik Floating Production Unit (FPU), operated by Eni, which is situated about 50 km away.

This startup exemplifies fast-track development, as the field was brought into production approximately two years from FID. After the initial processing onboard the FPU, the gas will be transferred via a pipeline network to supply the internal market and the Bontang liquefaction plant, which provides LNG for both the internal market and export.
