Gas floater onto Indonesia radar

Four top-tier floating production companies are in the hunt to provide Kangean Energy Indonesia with a gas floating production, storage and offloading vessel for the Terang Sirasun Batur (TSB) fields off East Java.

Monaco-based SBM Offshore, Japan's Modec, and Norwegian pair BW Offshore and Fred Olsen Production have just submitted technical proposals for the floater, and commercial bids will follow in due course.

The TSB fields will produce at a peak rate of 300 million cubic feet per day of gas, with all volumes feeding the domestic market for 18 years. The fields will also produce some associated liquids.
