Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and BP on Friday announced the start of production from the R-Cluster, the ultra-deep-water gas field in the KG-D6 block off the east coast of India.
RIL and BP are developing three deepwater gas projects in KG-D6 — R Cluster, Satellites Cluster and MJ — which together are expected to meet around 15 per cent of India’s gas demand by 2023. These projects will use the existing hub infrastructure in the KG-D6 block.
RIL is the operator of KG- D6 with a 66.67 per cent participating interest and BP holds a 33.33 per cent participating interest.
R-Cluster is the first of the three projects to come onstream.
