NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries and its partner BP plc of the UK on Friday announced the commencement of natural gas production from Asia’s deepest project, putting the second wave of discoveries in the KG-D6 block onstream.
The production from ultra-deepwater R-Cluster, the first of the three deepsea projects Reliance-BP are developing in the eastern offshore block, started production, the two firms said in a statement.
Reliance and BP are developing three deepwater gas projects in block KG D6 ‘R Cluster, Satellites Cluster and MJ’ which together are expected to meet about 15 per cent of India’s gas demand by 2023.
