The Jangkrik discovery was made in 400 metre water depth in the Kutei Basin. It confirms the high potential of Eni's portfolio in the area.
Eni said it planned to proceed with the appraisal of Jangkrik discovery and to assess the technical and commercial viability of a fast-track development of the new field.
In the nearby Tarakan Basin, Eni has in recent years made two other important hydrocarbon discoveries, Aster and Tulip, both of which are now in an advanced appraisal phase, it said.
Eni holds overall working interests in 11 permits in Indonesia and operates six of them. The offshore activities are located in the deep waters of the Tarakan and Kutei Basins and north of Sumatra Island.
