Mubadala Energy, an Abu Dhabi-based international energy company, has been awarded the Southwest Andaman exploration production sharing contract (PSC) under Indonesia’s Gross Split scheme.

The block, granted by DG MIGAS in the 2025 second bid round, will be 100 per cent operated by Mubadala Energy.

Adjacent to its existing Andaman acreage, the block complements South Andaman, Central Andaman, and Andaman II holdings.

Identified in 2022, the opportunity progressed through a joint study agreement in 2023 and a bid in November 2025.

Southwest Andaman continues the proven Bampo DHI play, with first drilling expected in years four to six, following full 3D seismic interpretation.
