The UAE’s Mubadala Energy has awarded oilfield services company SLB “multiple” contracts to drill for offshore natural gas at Indonesia’s Tangkulo deepwater development, SLB said on Thursday.

French-founded and Texas-headquartered SLB, formerly known as Schlumberger, said it won the contracts, which include “drilling, completion and testing services across the full well life cycle,” through a competitive bidding process. 

Initial production is expected to start by the end of 2028, according to a press release. 

Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala Energy, which is wholly owned by Mubadala, signed an interim deal in early December with PLN Energi Primer Indonesia, a subsidiary of state-owned utility company PLN, to supply gas from the field in the Andaman Sea to the North Sumatra and Aceh provinces.

Abdulla Bu Ali, president director of Mubadala Energy Indonesia, called the Tangkulo project “a cornerstone” in his company’s southeast Asian portfolio in a statement.

“This contract award reflects Mubadala Energy’s strategic vision to develop Indonesia’s offshore resources responsibly and efficiently,” he said. 

Gulf investment in Indonesia has been growing in recent months as the region strives to diversify its economic partnerships across the world.

Indonesia’s wealth fund Danantara Indonesia and the Qatar Investment Authority agreed last April to establish a $4 billion joint fund to target priority sectors in the southeast Asian nation, including in the energy sector.

In July, private Saudi and Indonesian companies agreed $27 billion worth of deals, primarily in the clean energy, petrochemicals and aviation fuel sectors.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
