Eni tests Geliga-1 gas discovery offshore Indonesia

Eni has successfully tested the Geliga‑1 gas discovery, located in the Ganal Block within the Kutei Basin, offshore Indonesia, in which the Italian company holds an 82% stake (18% Sinopec) (Eni press release, 07/05/2026). The tested reservoir flowed at rates of up to 60 mcf/d (1.7 mcm/d, or 620 mcm/year); based on these results, the Geliga‑1 well is estimated to produce a sustainable rate of approximately 200 mcf/d (5.7 mcm/d or 2 bcm/year) of gas and about 10,000 bbl/d of condensate.

The Gelinga-1 discovery is located next to the undeveloped Gula gas discovery, which may hold 2 Tcf (57 bcm) of gas in place and 75 mbl of condensate. When combined, Geliga and Gula could jointly produce around 1,000 mcm/d (28 mcm/d or 10 bcm/year) of gas and 80,000 bbl/d of condensate.

Eni has been present in Indonesia since 2001 and produces around 90 kb/d of oil, mainly from the Jangkrik and Merakes fields offshore East Kalimantan.
