ONGC Boosts India's Energy Supply with Arabian Sea Gas

The state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has commenced gas production from the Daman Upside Development Project in the Arabian Sea, a move aimed at fortifying India's domestic energy supply amid worldwide disruptions.

In its filing, ONGC reported that the project, located approximately 180 kilometers northwest of Mumbai, achieved a landmark on March 29 when gas started flowing from Platform B-12-24P. The gas is currently being sent to the Hazira Plant.

Built in under two years, the project is designed to generate a peak production of 5 million standard cubic meters per day. With aspirations to produce 21.5 billion cubic meters of gas, ONGC has deployed four new wellhead platforms and constructed 140 kilometers of pipelines.
