LONDON--Premier Oil PLC (PRU.LN) said Tuesday that gas
production from the Pelikan field in the Natuna Sea Block A
offshore Indonesia commenced on March 9.
This follows first gas from the Naga field, also on Natuna Sea
Block A, in November 2014, Premier Oil said, adding that both
projects were brought on-stream to budget.
The independent exploration and production company said Pelikan
and Naga will deliver additional reserves into the Singapore and
domestic market under the company's long-term gas contracts.
Premier, with a 28.67% equity stake, operates Natuna Sea Block A
on behalf of its partners KUFPEC, Petermina, PTT and Petronas.
