埃尼集团宣布在位于印度尼西亚东加里曼丹海岸约50公里处的库泰盆地穆阿拉巴考PSC区块的Konta-1勘探井中发现天然气。据估计，该区块初始天然气地质储量（GIIP）为6000亿立方英尺，潜在储量可能超过1万亿立方英尺。

Konta-1井在水深570米处钻探至4575米深度，在四个独立的、具有良好岩石物理性质的中新世砂岩储层中发现了天然气，这些储层已进行了广泛的数据采集。Muara Bakau是19个区块之一，其中14个位于印度尼西亚，5个位于马来西亚，这些区块将由埃尼集团和马来西亚国家石油公司（PETRONAS）共同成立的一家各持股50%的新公司（NewCo）进行管理。

新公司将支持至少八个新项目的开发和15口勘探井的钻探，目标是开发约30亿桶油当量（boe）的已探明储量，并释放约100亿桶油当量（boe）的未风险勘探潜力。预计将于2026年内完成交易。

Eni announced a gas discovery in the Konta-1 exploration well, drilled in the Muara Bakau PSC in the Kutei Basin, about 50 km off the coast of East Kalimantan in Indonesia. Estimates indicate 600 billion cu ft of gas initially in place (GIIP) with a potential upside beyond 1 trillion cu ft.

Konta-1 was drilled to a depth of 4,575 m in 570 m water depth, encountering gas in four separate sandstone reservoirs of Miocene age with good petrophysical properties that have been subject to an extensive data acquisition campaign. Muara Bakau is part of the 19 blocks, 14 in Indonesia and 5 in Malaysia, that will be managed by an equally owned company (NewCo) established by Eni and PETRONAS.

NewCo will support the development of at least eight new projects and the drilling of 15 exploration wells, with the aim of developing approximately 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of discovered reserves and unlock an estimated 10 billion boe of unrisked exploration potential. Closing is expected within 2026.
