State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation’s (ONGC) first deepsea project in the KG basin was hit when a floating oil storage vessel got entangled with fishing nets, prompting the state-owned firm to seek help for the Indian Navy.
Armada Sterling V floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, which ONGC will use to produce oil from its KG-DWN-98/2 or KG-D5 block, got entangled with long nets, according to the company’s social media posts.
The company sought help from the Indian Navy whose divers helped remove the nets after a month-long operation. Commissioning operations resumed after that.
