CALGARY (Yosefardi) – Husky Energy is advancing development work on four shallow water gas fields in the Madura Strait.

A contract has been signed to build and lease an FPSO vessel to develop the liquids-rich BD field. Construction of a wellhead platform and pipeline infrastructure for the BD field is under way with first gas planned in 2017.

Tender plans for the MDA and MBH natural gas fields received government approval and a gas sales agreement is under regulatory review. A Plan of Development was approved by government regulators for the MDK natural gas field. Production from all three fields is anticipated in the 2017-2018 time frame.

Husky has a 40 percent interest in the Madura Strait developments.
