The Aceh projects, combined with Conrad\u2019s Mako gas project in the Natuna Sea, will help support the country\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n<p>The two parties will seek to cooperate in the development and maintenance of possible small-scale LNG infrastructure, sales and broader project development.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Scaling up <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To date, total prospective resources identified within the two PSCs amount to 15 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of recoverable gas (11 Tcf attributable to Conrad).<\/p>\n<p>Several multi-Tcf targets have been identified in the deep-water areas which are a longer-term focus and are attracting interest from larger upstream companies looking for impactful exploration opportunities. Recent major discoveries by other operators offshore Aceh has put this region back into regional exploration focus.<\/p>\n<p>This year CRD plans to acquire 3D seismic data over the cluster of discovered resources in the Meulobah block, which currently only has sparse 2D seismic data that was acquired in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>That 3D data may also assist in identifying new prospects in the vicinity of the cluster, where vintage 2D seismic supported close to 70% exploration success rates in the Miocene shallow-water carbonates.<\/p>\n<p>CRD managing director Miltos Xynogalas says the MoU is an important step towards commercialisation of the discovered resources in the two PSCs and may become a key component of any future development plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConrad has been evaluating the offshore Aceh areas for more than five years and is excited about their potential,\u201d Xynogalas says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been a host of major gas discoveries recently announced offshore Aceh which has brought the region back into international focus for gas exploration companies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur PSCs lie within a proven biogenic gas region containing flow tested gas discoveries, as well as high impact deep-water exploratory potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shallow-water discoveries are of near-term interest for PGN and appear suitable for commercialisation via small-scale LNG plants\u2014an already proven solution for gas deposits of this size elsewhere in Indonesia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Conrad Asia Energy, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
