Repsol (REPYY) has awarded Synergy Engineering the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the Kali Berau Dalam (KBD) gas field development in South Sumatra, Indonesia. This USD630 million project has received approval for a revised plan of development (POD) from the authorities. The scope of the project includes constructing a central processing facility (CPF) with a natural gas processing capacity of 135 million cubic feet per day and drilling two new production wells. Additionally, a 1-km-long pipeline will connect the CPF to the existing TGI pipeline.
The KBD field, which has a high CO2 content of 26 per cent, will also feature a 20 km pipeline to transport liquid CO2 to Medco Energi’s Grissik plant. The project includes a produced water pipeline from the CPF to the Kukulambar well pad for water injection and the drilling of two water injection wells. The total cost of the project is estimated at USD631.7 million, with USD168.8 million allocated for drilling and completion and USD462.9 million for production facilities.
The basic infrastructure design for gas processing and CO2 separation has been completed, and the FEED study is expected to conclude by the end of 2024. The first gas output from the Sakakemang Block is anticipated by early 2028.
