Eni in pact with SKK Migas for exploration in Indonesia

Italian oil and gas company Eni has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SKK Migas for cooperation on exploration activities in Indonesia.

As explained by Eni on Thursday, the MoU defines the framework for further cooperation in the processing and interpretation of seismic data owned by Indonesia by using Eni’s proprietary technologies and facilities.

This includes the Green Data Centre supercomputers in Ferrera Erbognone, Italy, as well as seismic imaging algorithms.

According to Eni, this agreement represents a further international recognition for its technological resources, in particular the computing and processing capabilities of its Green Data Center in Ferrera Erbognone, where Eni’s computer systems, HPC4 and HPC5 supercomputers, are located.

Therefore, the cooperation between SKK Migas and Eni in Indonesia continues. The company, following the start-up of gas production from Merakes last April and the positive results of the Maha-2 appraisal well in the West Ganal block off the coast of Indonesia in June, is considered as one of the country’s main partners.

Eni has been operating in Indonesia since 2001, where it has a large portfolio of assets in the exploration, development, and production phases.

The successful exploration campaign conducted by Eni in the deep water of East Kalimantan has already delivered the producing projects of Jangkrik and most recently Merakes.
