IGGL, ONGC signs three hook-up agreements to link ONGC’s natural gas fileds to NEGG

IGGL and ONGC have signed three hook-up agreements to link ONGC’s natural gas fields to the north east gas grid project for transportation of natural gas to consumers from Jorhat, Silchar and Tripura Assets of ONGC. IGGL is laying 1,656 km pipeline under the north east natural gas pipeline grid project connecting eight north eastern states. Under the agreement, the withdrawal of natural gas from ONGC’s assets is expected to be substantial, with 185,000 standard cubic meters per day (scmd) from Jorhat Asset, 82,500 scmd from Silchar Asset, and 700,000 scmd from the Tripura Asset. The linkage of ONGC’s gas fields to IGGL pipeline will enable efficient evacuation of natural gas along with contributing to the overall economic growth of the country.
