Singapore’s KrisEnergy has announced that it has reduced its working interest in the Block A Aceh production sharing contract to 15% in alignment with its revised business plan to reduce future capital expenditure while maintaining exposure to a high-value gas development in Indonesia.
Proceeds from the transaction will be applied towards funding KrisEnergy’s share of the capital expenditure for the Block A Aceh gas development.
The operator of Block A Aceh, PT Medco E&P Malaka, has acquired 26.6666% of KrisEnergy’s working interest and increased its holding to 85%.
“This farm-out is in line with our recently announced revised business plan to reduce exposure to contract areas where we have a high working interest in order to mitigate risk and reduce future capital expenditure commitments given the continued volatility in oil and gas markets. However, we remain a partner in Block A Aceh and will benefit from long-term revenues and cash flow once the gas fields are developed and on stream,” said Jeffrey Macdonald, interim ceo of KrisEnergy.
