I'm on Jangkrik Project Proposal...
ENI and GDF-Suez combine FEED and EPC bids to speed up Indonesian Muara Bakau development
After the successfully appraisal of the
Jangkrik natural gas discovery, ENI and
GDF-Suez intend to speed up the development of the
Muara Bakau PSC, Kutei Basin, East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Overall, in
Indonesia, ENI is very active as it holds working interests in twelve permits, and operates six of them.
ENI offshore activities are located in the Tarakanand Kutei Basins, offshore Kalimantan, north of Sumatra and West Timor.
ENI and GDF-Suez capital expenditure for theJangkrik project is estimated to $2 billion.
In the
Muara Bakau natural gas field, the working interests within the
joint venture are shared between :
- Eni from Italy 55% who is the operator
- GDF-Suez from France 45%
Following the successful Jangkrik-2 appraisal well, ENI and GDF-Suez joint venture has decided to perform in following the assessment of the technical and commercial viability of a fast-track development of the gas.
The
natural gas of the
Jangkrik field should provide
feedstock to the
Bontang LNG plant on the
East Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The Jangkrik-2 appraisal well is located in the Makassar Strait of Indonesia, approximately 70 kilometersfrom the East coast of Borneo, Indonesia.
The
natural gas reservoir lies by
2449 m depth in
425m of water depth.
First
tests show a
natural gas of excellent quality with a low rate of contaminants.
The
natural gas production is expected to reach
360 million cf/d.
The Jangkrik offshore field development includes:

-
Drilling production wells
- Installation of a new-built Floating Production unitfor gas and condensate treatment
- Construction of a
natural gas and
condensates transport facility connecting the gas to the existing
onshore Bontang LNG and
condensates to the
treatment plants in the area.
- Sub-sea, Umbilical, Risers, and Flowlines (SURF package)
- Sub-sea production system with control systems and manifolds
To develop the
Jangkrik project on
fast-track, ENI and GDF-Suez agreed on organizing the
calls for tender in combining the
Front end engineering and design (FEED) with the e
ngineering procurement and construction(EPC) contracts.
- Floating production unit will be 200 meters long and weight 20,000 t with 360 million cf/d capacity.
- Gas and condensates pipelines should be 86 kilometers long offshore and 6 kilometers long onshore.
ENI and GDF-Suez call for tenders three packages
Four groups in competition for Jangkrik floating production unit
ENI and GDF-Suez have pre-qualified the following
Group to
bid for the joined
FEED and
EPC contracts:
- Chiyoda and Hyundai Heavy Industries
- Petrofac and Daewoo Shipbuilding Marine & Engineering (DSME)
- Saipem and Tripatra Engineers & Construction
- Technip and McDermott
SURF Package
For the SURF package (Sub-sea,Umbilical, Risers and flowlines) ENI and GDF-Suez qualified:
- McDermott
- Saipem and Swiber Offshore
- Technip
- Timas Suplindo and WorleyParsons and Subsea7
- Tripatra Engineers & Construction with Emas-AMC
Sub-sea production system, control systems and manifolds
For this specific package , ENI and GDF-Suez could only play with the three classical bidders:
- Aker Solutions
- FMC
- GE Vetco-Gray
In respect with their
fast-track development program of the
Jangkrik natural gas,
ENI and
GDF-Suez are expecting to issue the
calls for tender in summer in order to make the
final investment decision (FID) in
first quarter 2013 for a
completion and
start-up in 2016.
