* Operator: Interoil
* Country: Papua New Guinea
* Location: PRL 15 license in the Gulf Province, onshore PNG
* Production start: Expected 2026
* Partners:
* Type: Gas
* Estimated Reserves:
* Production Volume:

=== Description ===
* The field covers an area of approx. 14 km x 7 km and contains two disconnected condensate gas reservoirs of Eocene to Late Miocene age. Elk-Antelope reservoirs are separated by a major thrust, with combined initial gas in place ranging from 6.2 to 7.5 Tcf of gas with the Antelope structure accounting for about 95% of the resources.
* The development strategy proposes the construction of 2 well pads with up to 12 wells, a Central Processing Facility (CPF), separate single phase gas and condensate evacuation pipelines and 2 liquefaction trains.
* The fields will provide gas to the [[Papua LNG Terminal Project]]
