Reliance Industries Ltd and its partner BP Plc of UK on Monday announced the start of production from the second set of new discoveries the two are developing in the eastern offshore KG-D6 block.
Reliance-BP, who had commenced output from R Cluster in December last year, started production from the Satellite Cluster, the two firms said in a statement.
“Satellite Cluster field comes onstream two months ahead of schedule despite COVID-19 challenges,” it said.
Reliance-BP is developing three deep-water gas developments in block KG-D6 — R Cluster, Satellite Cluster and MJ — which together are expected to produce around 30 million standard cubic meters per day of natural gas by 2023, meeting up to 15 per cent of India’s gas demand.
