UK firm Premier Oil Plc announced on Wednesday that the Pelikan and Naga wellhead platforms were successfully installed offshore Indonesia and good progress is being made on the subsea installation and tie-in.
The firm said in a report that first gas from both fields remains on track for the second half of 2014. Meanwhile at Dua, installation of two out of the three subsea structures has been completed and both flowlines installed, tested and tied into those structures.
The umbilical and risers have also been pulled into the FPSO and the umbilical laid and tied into the manifold subsea structure.
Pelikan and Naga fields are part of Natuna Sea Block A which is owned by Premier Oil (operator), Kufpec, Hess Corporation and Petronas.
Natuna Sea Block A continued to deliver above its 36.9 per cent contractual share of GSA1 at around 39 percent year to date. The Anoa Phase 4 compression project was completed on budget at a capital cost of around 60 cents/mscf. All three trains have been successfully tested and are now fully operational, adding a further 15 per cent export capacity to the Anoa facilities.
