BP & Reliance sanction 2nd phase of integrated KG D6 development

Mumbai, Apr 19 (UNI) BP and Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) on Thursday announced the sanctioning of the ‘Satellite cluster’ project in Block KG D6.
According to a statement here, the companies are moving forward to develop the Block’s discovered deep-water gas fields in an integrated series of projects, bringing new gas production for India.
The ‘Satellite cluster’ is the second of three projects in the Block KG D6 integrated development. The first of the projects, development of the ‘R-Series’ deep-water gas fields, was sanctioned in June 2017.
Together the three projects will develop a total of about three trillion cubic feet of discovered gas resources with a total investment of Rs 40,000 crore (US$6 billion). They are expected to bring a total 30-35 million cubic metres (1 billion cubic feet) of gas a day new domestic gas production onstream, phased over 2020-2022.
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of RIL, said,'' In consonance with our announcements last year to raise domestic gas production, we are delighted to announce the on-schedule progress of the Satellite cluster in the east coast of India. This development
supports the country’s imminent need of increasing domestic gas supply and is a firm step towards making India a gas-based economy.''
Speaking in London, Bob Dudley, BP Group Chief Executive, welcomed the investment decision saying this latest investment was a further demonstration of BP’s commitment to India.
''Through our partnership, Reliance and BP are able to develop these discovered gas resources efficiently and economically, working closely with the Government of India. These new developments will produce much needed energy for India’s thriving economy. Integrated field development of deep-water gas fields.''
The Satellites cluster is a dry gas development and comprises four discoveries with five well sub sea development in 1700 metres water depth, up to 15 kilometres east and southeast of the producing D1D3 fields in KG D6.
The first of the KG D6 projects to be sanctioned, the R-series project, is already in execution phase with all major contracts awarded. The Satellites cluster project will draw on execution synergies with the R-series project being developed concurrently.
India today consumes over 5 billion cubic feet a day of natural gas and aspires to double gas consumption by 2022. Gas production from the integrated development is expected to help reduce India’s import dependence and amount to over 10 per cent of the country’s projected gas
demand in 2022; benefiting India and domestic consumers at large.
