据管道新闻网4月27日消息称，海王星能源公司宣布，运营商埃尼集团已开始在印度尼西亚海上East Sepinggan区块开发Merakes油田。

　　Merakes开发项目由五口水下井组成，并与Jangkrik浮式生产装置(FPU)相连。天然气在水下管汇处收集，并出口45公里(28英里)到Jangkrik FPU，在那里经过加工，通过现有的Jangkrik出口管道出口到Senipah的陆上接收设施。

　　海王星在2019年收购了印度尼西亚Kutei盆地的权益。该公司还拥有West Ganal区块30%的股份。Jangkrik FPU被定位为Kutei盆地的一个关键枢纽，通过对Maha和Merakes East等现有区块的低成本回接开发，提供未来的增长机会。Maha目前正在钻一口评价井。

　　Merakes是海王星能源公司2021年最大的开发项目，每天增加约11000桶石油当量，这是继其在挪威海上的Gj?a P1开发项目启动后，该公司今年成功交付的第二个主要开发项目。该项目的开发标志着公司在2023年实现集团产量约20万桶/天的进程中的一个重要里程碑，突显了海王星能源公司在亚太地区投资组合的重要性。

　　海王星能源公司驻印尼董事总经理Eko Lumadyo表示:“我们很荣幸能在这一战略发展上与埃尼集团合作，这将有助于满足印尼日益增长的国内能源需求，并支持该国的出口市场。印度尼西亚为海王星能源提供了强大的增长机会，我们期待与埃尼及其地区合作伙伴建立关系。我们在Kutei盆地发现了巨大的勘探潜力，通过回接和独立开发提供了巨大的增长潜力。”

　　Neptune Energy Producing Natural Gas from Merakes Project in Indonesia

　　Neptune Energy announced that the operator, Eni, said production has started from its Merakes development in the East Sepinggan block offshore Indonesia.

　　The Merakes development consists of five subsea wells, tied back to the Jangkrik Floating Production Unit (FPU). Gas is gathered at the subsea manifold and exported 45 kilometers (28 miles) to the Jangkrik FPU where it is processed for export to the onshore Receiving Facility in Senipah via the existing Jangkrik export pipelines.

　　In 2019, Neptune acquired interests in the Indonesian Kutei Basin. The company also has a 30% stake in the West Ganal block. The Jangkrik FPU is positioned as a key Hub in the Kutei Basin, providing future growth opportunities through lower-cost tie-back developments for several existing discoveries in our acreage including Maha and Merakes East. An appraisal well at Maha is currently drilling.

　　Merakes is Neptune Energy’s largest project development in 2021, adding approximately 11,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (kboepd), and its second major development to be successfully delivered this year, following start-up of its operated Gj?a P1 development offshore Norway. The development marks an important milestone in the company’s progress towards achieving Group production of around 200 kboepd in 2023 and underlines the importance of Neptune’s Asia Pacific portfolio.

　　“We are proud to partner with Eni on this strategic development which will help meet growing domestic energy demand in Indonesia and support the country’s export market,” said Eko Lumadyo, Neptune Energy’s Managing Director in Indonesia. “Indonesia provides Neptune Energy with strong opportunities for growth and we look forward to building on our relationship with Eni and our partners in the region. We have identified significant exploration potential in our acreage in the Kutei Basin, which offers considerable growth potential through tie-back and standalone developments.”
