ONCG first deep water project takes off

Chennai: ONGC`s first deep water project, commissioned by the company, saw the unveiling of high-tech spool base facilities at L&T Hydrocarbons` fabrication facility at Kattupalli near the Ennore port in Chennai on Friday.
 
Two drilling rigs have been deployed at deep water Vashishta S1 Fields on India`s east coast. The project will be using remotely operated vehicles (ROV) to drill at 700 metres below sea level.
 
The ONGC project, executed by J. Ray Mc Dermott S.A., Berlian McDermott and L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering, will have the capacity to produce up to 4.5 billion cubic feet of gas, an initiative that will help the union government to move more towards a gas-based economy.
