(WO)——埃尼宣布在位于印度尼西亚东加里曼丹近海约 85 公里处的 North Ganal PSC 钻探的 Geng North-1 勘探井中发现了重大天然气发现。初步估计表明，已发现总结构天然气储量为 5 万亿立方英尺 (Tcf)，凝析油含量估计高达 400 MMbbl。

获得的数据将使公司能够研究快速发展的选择。

耿北一号钻探深度为 1,947 m，钻探深度为 5,025 m，在中新统砂岩储层中遇到了约 50 m 厚的气柱，该储层具有良好的岩石物理性质，并且经过了广泛的数据采集活动。已成功进行油井生产测试 (DST)，对天然气发现进行全面评估，尽管受到测试设施的限制，但仍可估计井产能高达 80-100 MMcfd 和约 5-6 Mbpd的凝结水。

此次天然气发现证实了埃尼集团旨在通过对地质区块的深入了解和先进地球物理技术的应用来创造价值的战略的有效性。正在进行的勘探活动以及最近的收购符合埃尼集团的能源转型战略，即逐步将其投资组合转向天然气和液化天然气，目标是到 2030 年达到 60%，并增加其液化天然气股权投资组合。印度尼西亚以及整个东南亚在这一战略中发挥着重要作用。

由于其地理位置和巨大的规模，该天然气发现有可能为在库泰盆地北部建立一个新的生产中心做出重大贡献，该中心将与东加里曼丹海岸的邦唐液化天然气设施相连，进一步利用其可用的空缺容量。据估计，除耿北外，感兴趣区域内的未开发发现中还存在超过 5 Tcf 的天然气地质储量，而通过正在进行的研究，显着的多 Tcf 勘探潜力正在成熟。

Geng North天然气发现毗邻印度尼西亚深水开发（IDD）区域，其中包括位于Rapak和Ganal PSC区块内的多个搁浅发现，埃尼最近宣布收购雪佛龙权益，增加其参与权益并获得运营权。

预计这两个领域在天然气开发方案方面将产生显着的协同效应。此次收购还提供了通过埃尼集团运营的 Jangkrik 设施快速开发 Gendalo 和 Gandang 天然气项目（天然气储量约 2 Tcf）的机会。

耿北天然气发现是在埃尼集团宣布同意收购海王星能源公司后不久发现的，该协议的完成将进一步加强埃尼集团在北甘纳尔区块的地位。

(WO) – Eni announced a significant natural gas discovery from the Geng North-1 exploration well drilled in North Ganal PSC, about 85 km offshore East Kalimantan in Indonesia. Preliminary estimates indicate a total structure discovered volume of 5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas in place with a content of condensate estimated up to 400 MMbbl.

The acquired data will allow the company to study the options for a fast-track development.

Geng North-1 was drilled to a depth of 5,025 m in 1,947 m water depth, and encountered a gas column about 50 m thick in a Miocene sandstone reservoir with excellent petrophysical properties that has been subject of an extensive data acquisition campaign. A well production test (DST) has been successfully performed for a full assessment of the natural gas discovery, and although limited by the test facilities, it has allowed to estimate a well capacity of up to 80-100 MMcfd and about 5-6 Mbpd of condensate.

The natural gas discovery confirms the effectiveness of Eni’s strategy aimed at creating value through its deep knowledge of geological plays and the application of advanced geophysical technologies. The ongoing exploration campaign, along with the recent acquisitions, is in line with Eni’s energy transition strategy to progressively shift its portfolio mix towards gas and LNG, targeting 60% in 2030, and to increase its LNG equity portfolio. Indonesia, and South-East Asia in general, play a relevant role in this strategy.

Thanks to its location and significant size, the natural gas discovery has the potential to contribute substantially to the creation of a new production hub, in the Northern part of the Kutei basin, to be connected to the Bontang LNG facilities on the coast of East Kalimantan, further exploiting its available ullage capacity. It is estimated that, in addition to Geng North, more than 5 Tcf of natural gas in place are present in undeveloped discoveries within the area of interest, while a significant multi-Tcf exploration potential is under maturation through the ongoing studies.

The Geng North natural gas discovery is adjacent to the Indonesia Deepwater Development (IDD) area that includes several stranded discoveries located within the Rapak and Ganal PSC blocks, for which Eni recently announced the acquisition of Chevron interests, increasing its participating interest and acquiring the operatorship.

Significant synergies between the two areas are envisaged in terms of gas development options. The acquisition also provides the opportunity to fast track the development of the Gendalo and Gandang gas project (around 2 Tcf of gas reserves) through Eni’s operated Jangkrik facilities.

The Geng North natural gas discovery comes shortly after the announcement of Eni’s agreement to acquire Neptune Energy, whose completion will allow to further strengthen Eni’s position in the North Ganal Block.
