RIL-BP start output from second gas field
Reliance Industries and its partner BP Plc of the UK have started production from the Satellite Cluster gas field in the deepwater KG-D6 block, two months ahead of schedule.
The Satellite Cluster is the second of the three developments to come onstream, following the start of the R Cluster in December 2020. It was scheduled to start output in mid-2021.
The field is located about 60 km from the existing onshore terminal at Kakinada on the east coast of India in water depths of up to 1,850 metres.
The three clusters — R Cluster, Satellite Cluster and MJ — are together expected to produce around 30mmscmd (or 1 billion cubic feet a day) of natural gas by 2023,
