Reliance Industries (RIL) and its partner BP Plc of the UK have brought a deep sea pipeline laying ship to their Bay of Bengal block KG- D6. This will help to bring newer gas finds to production by 2020-21.
The company and BP are targeting to bring to production the R-Series and satellite fields in KG- D6 block by 2020, just around the time KG- D6 block's currently producing Dhirubhai-1 and 3 (D1 and D3) fields cease to produce. These fields along with the ultra deep MJ find are to produce 30-35 million standard cubic metres per day of peak natural gas.
Reliance Industries is India’s largest private sector company. The company’s activities span hydrocarbon exploration and production, petroleum refining and marketing, petrochemicals, retail and 4G digital services.
