The concession, issued under Indonesia’s second conventional oil and gas bidding round 2019, is a new gross split production-sharing contract covering 1,129 sq km (436 sq mi), adjacent to the Eni-operated Muara Bakau and East Sepinggan PSCs in the Makassar Strait off East Kalimantan.

Eni and its partners were already co-operating in the producing Jangkrik field in the Muara Bakau block.
