Bojonegoro, E Java (ANTARA News) - Mobil Cepu Limted (MCL) has begun calling tenders for Full Field Development (FFD) projects of the Cepu oil/gas field in Bojonegoro, East Java, MCL spokesman said.

"The tender for several FFD projects is now in progress and in deciding the winners it would involve various parties," MCL external relations officer Deddy Afidick said here on Sunday.

Deddy did not disclose the schedule of the tender but a number of Cepu oil and gas projects, which were also called FFD, were facilities designed to put the oil block in full production.

Based on the production scenario, the Cepu peak production would be achieved in 2013. "We hope this tender would proceed smoothly," Afidick said.

The FFD included the central processing facilities (CPF) and other well facilities in the Cepu Block area, he said.

Besides, there would also be a 72-km long onshore oil pipeline network from the Banyu Urip, Cepu Block in Ngasem sub-district, to the sea in Tuban. From the coastal lines to the sea there would also be a 23-km long undersea pipeline network.

A floating storage would be built on-shore which will function to contain oil before it is loaded onto tanker ships.

Supporting projects which are not less important in the Cepu Block included civil works and other supporting infrastructures called engineering procurement and construction (FPC), he said.
