Chevron has achieved first natural gas production on Wednesday from the Bangka field development project in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

The Bangka project has a design capacity of 110 million cubic feet of natural gas and 4,000 barrels of condensate per day, the company said in its statement.

Chevron has a 62 percent interest in the Bangka project with the other joint venture participants being Eni with a 20 percent interest and Tip Top with an 18 percent interest.

A final investment decision was reached in 2014, following government approvals. Chevron began drilling the development wells in the second half of 2014.
