Husky Energy and its partners have achieved a significant milestone in advancing the Madura Strait BD gas-condensate field offshore Indonesia towards production. The jacket and wellhead platform for the liquids-rich gas development were sailed out in late October and have been successfully installed in about 55 m of water. Development drilling is expected to begin soon, and the project remains on target for first production in 2017. The BD Field is the first of a series of gas developments the company is advancing offshore Indonesia. Construction of an FPSO vessel to process gas and liquids production from the field is about 30% complete, and all major long-lead time items have been ordered. Husky said it is continuing to progress a series of other gas developments offshore Indonesia that are expected to add production in 2017 through 2019. A tendering process is underway for a floating production vessel and related engineering, procurement, construction and installation contracts for the combined MDA-MBH fields, also located in the Madura Strait. The MDA-MBH fields are expected to produce about 1.4 MMcm/d of gas at peak production. A third discovery, the MDK Field, is planned to be tied into the MDA-MBH Field infrastructure. A plan of development has been approved, and the field is expected to produce about 0.28 MMcm/d (net) at peak. Longer term, the company has four other Madura Strait discoveries that are under evaluation for development. It holds a 40% interest in all of the Indonesia projects, which will be developed in partnership with CNOOC (as the operator) and an affiliate of Samudra Energy, Indonesia.
