Bekapai and Handil fields were discovered in 1972 and 1974 and in the Mahakam offshore Permit, East Kalimantan (Fig. 1). They are operated by Total Indonesie in association with Inpex under a production sharing contract with Pertamina. Oil production of the fields is about 200,000 b/d. Associated gas, until the construction of the facilities described here, were flared. Associated gas production is about 200 MMscfd. The Bekapai field is 40 km offshore in 35 m of water. The Handil field, located in the delta of the Mahakam, has a gathering system and platformmounted central process area. After a first stage of separation at the Bekapai production platform and the central process area of Handil, the production of both fields is sent through pipelines to Senipah terminal onshore for final separation, processing, and storage before shipment.
