Canadian firm Husky Energy Inc said that at the liquids-rich BD field project in Madura Strait block, offshore East Java, preparations are being finalized for first production, including plans to commission the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
The company said in a statement Friday the project is expected to ramp up to its full sales gas rate in the second half of 2017, with a gross sales production target of 100 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/day) of gas (40 mmcf/day net to Husky) and 6,000 bbls/day of liquids (2,400 bbls/day net to Husky).
Husky also said that at the MDA-MBH fields, located in the same block, platform construction is more than 40 percent complete. ?A contract for the floating production unit is awaiting final government approval. First gas is expected in the 2018-2019 timeframe, with an additional shallow water field at MDK expected to be tied in during the same period,? the statement said.
Total gross sales gas volumes from BD, MDA-MBH and MDK are expected to be approximately 250 mmcf/day of gas (100 mmcf/day net to Husky) and 6,000 bbls/day of associated liquids (2,400 bbls/day net to Husky) once production is fully ramped up.
Husky holds a 40 percent working interest in a joint venture company that holds the PSC for the Madura Strait Block covering approximately 622,000 acres, offshore Indonesia. It is focused on the development of the BD, MDA, MBH, MDK and MAC fields.
