Reliance-BP to get ‘Ruby’ from South Korea to boost KG-D6 gas output

Ruby, a floating production storage and offloading vessel destined for Reliance Industries Ltd’s MJ deep-water oil and gas development project in KG-D6 block, has set sail from South Korea, partner BP plc’s CEO Bernard Looney said.

MJ is the third and last of a set of discoveries that Reliance and its partner BP of UK are developing in the eastern offshore block. The two will use a floating production system at high-sea in the Bay of Bengal to bring to production the deepest gas discovery in the KG-D6 block.

“‘Ruby’ has just set sail for the 5000-km journey from South Korea to Kakinada, India where she’ll help ramp up domestic gas production.
