The Geng North and Gehem project, in water depths of 1,700 to 2,000 m, calls for the drilling of 16 producing wells and the installation of subsea systems linked to a newbuild FPSO capable of processing over 1 billion scf\/D of gas and 90,000 boe\/d of condensate, with a storage capacity of 1.4 million bbl.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The two projects are expected to come onstream in 2028, with Eni targeting a production plateau of 2 billion scf\/D of gas and 90,000 boe\/d of condensate in 2029. Gas will be transported onshore via an export pipeline feeding both the domestic pipeline network and the Bontang LNG plant. An idle liquefaction train at Bontang will be reactivated as part of the development plan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Combined gas initially in place across the two projects amounts to nearly 10 Tcf, with 550 million bbl of associated condensate.
