The Lengo gas accumulation is situated in the Bulu production sharing contract (PSC), which covers 697km2 over the East Java Basin in water depths of 50m to 60m.
Approved by the Indonesian authorities in late 2014, the Lengo development plan includes four development wells, an unmanned wellhead platform and a 20-inch, 65km export pipeline to transport the gas to shore.
Meanwhile, Java Offshore started geophysical and geotechnical surveys at the platform site as well as along the proposed platform-to-shore pipeline route and onshore receiving terminal location.
KrisEnergy exploration and production director Chris Gibson-Robinson 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."
The company is currently in talks over gas sales while production is planned to commence approximately 24 months after the joint-venture partners declare the final investment decision.
The field is capable of producing 70 million cubic feet per day at plateau.
KrisEnergy operates Bulu PSC with 42.5% working interest while other partners include AWE (42.5%), PT Satria Energindo (10%) and PT Satria Wijayakusuma (5%).
