Chevron Indonesia said the Bangka field in Indonesia has produced its first natural gas.
The Bangka project has a design capacity of 110 million cubic feet of natural gas and 4,000 barrels of condensate per day.
The project is Chevron’s Indonesia Deepwater Development project in East Kalimantan.
Chuck Taylor, Chevron’s IndoAsia Business Unit managing director Chuck Taylor , said: “The project represents Chevron’s commitment to bring global capabilities and advanced technology to Indonesia and applies best practices and expertise from our deepwater developments around the world.”
Chevron has a 62% interest in the Bangka project with the other contributing joint venture participants being Eni with a 20% interest and Tip Top with an 18% interest.
A final investment decision was reached in 2014, following government approvals. Chevron began drilling the development wells in the second half of 2014.
