The field development plan has been submitted to the Indonesian authorities for approval
The field is located close to the West Natuna Transportation System offering the potential to sell gas into the Singapore market, where a Heads Of Agreement has been recently signed with a gas buyer
Favourable gas pricing in the developed Singapore market, with piped gas competing with LNG import
James Menzies, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Mako is a high-quality asset with a great address: a large undeveloped resource in a prolific basin and close to existing infrastructure with capacity, providing access to a hungry market in Singapore. We are also excited by the exploration potential to more than double the size of the resource – this is very significant, high value, low risk step out exploration located above and beneath the field itself.
The operator, Conrad Petroleum, has done a great job in bringing the project forward and advancing the technical understanding of the field and the surrounding prospects, and we are delighted to now be working with them. We see this as a potential hub for wider value creation in the region and look forward to reporting on our further progress shortly.”
