Italian major Eni will share its computing technology with Indonesia's oil and gas regulator SKK Migas in exploration activities in the southeast Asian country under an agreement inked on Thursday, Eni said in a statement.
SKK and Eni will collaborate further on the processing and interpretation of seismic data owned by Indonesia, using Eni’s technologies and facilities, under the memorandum of understanding signed through Eni's subsidiary Eni, according to the statement.
"This agreement represents a further international recognition for Eni's technological resources, in particular the computing and processing capabilities of its Green Data Center in Ferrera Erbognone, where Eni's computer systems, HPC4 and HPC5 supercomputers, are located," said the statement.
The Eni facilities covered by the MoU include the Green Data Centre supercomputers in Ferrera Erbognone, Italy, and seismic imaging algorithms, the statement added.
Eni-SKK cooperation is already one of Indonesia's main partnerships and Thursday's MoU follows the start-up of gas production from the Merakes offshore field in April and positive results announced earlier this month from the Maha-2 appraisal well in the West Ganal block off Kalimantan.
"The successful exploration campaign conducted by Eni in the deep water of East Kalimantan has already delivered the producing projects of Jangkrik and most recently Merakes," the statement said.
Eni’s current equity production in Indonesia is approximately 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
