Eni Advances Major Deep Water Gas Hubs with Dual FIDs

With the sanctioning of the Gendalo, Gandang, Geng North and Gehem fields, Eni is set to deliver up to 2 bscfd of gas and 90,000 bpd of condensate at plateau. The projects leverage existing infrastructure to accelerate time‑to‑market and strengthen both domestic supply and LNG exports.

Eni has taken the Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) for the Gendalo and Gandang gas project (South Hub) and for the Geng North and Gehem fields (North Hub), only 18 months after the approval of the Projects of Development (PODs) in 2024. The milestone confirms the fast pace of development of Eni’s deep‑water gas projects offshore East Kalimantan.

The developments combine state‑of‑the‑art technologies with the leveraging of existing infrastructure, including the Jangkrik Floating Production Unit (FPU) and the Bontang liquefaction plant. This integrated approach enables significant cost efficiencies and accelerates time to market.

The Gendalo and Gandang development plan, in water depths ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 meters, includes the drilling of seven producing wells and the installation of deep‑water subsea production systems tied back to Jangkrik FPU. For the North Hub, the project foresees the drilling
