Fossil Energy – Gas Discovery
Eni announces a new giant gas discovery made by the Geliga‑1 exploration well, drilled in the Ganal block in the Kutei Basin, offshore Indonesia.
Preliminary estimates indicate in-place resources of approximately 5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas and 300 million barrels of condensate in the encountered interval.
The Geliga‑1 well was drilled to a total depth of around 5,100 meters in a water depth of about 2,000 meters and encountered a significant gas column in the targeted Miocene interval, characterized by excellent petrophysical properties.
A Drill Stem Test (DST) is planned to assess the productivity of the reservoir. The Geliga‑1 discovery is part of a highly successful exploration track record in the Kutei Basin and follows the Geng North giant discovery made in late 2023 only 20 km south of Geliga, as well as the more recent Konta‑1 well discovery announced in December 2025.
These results confirm the significant potential of the basin’s gas play and the scalability of resources in the area.
