ONGC Connects Assam Facility to North East Gas Grid, Boosting Region's Gas Supply

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has completed its new gas evacuation facility at Khoraghat GGS-1 in Golaghat district, Assam. This project connects surplus associated natural gas from ONGC's Jorhat asset to the North East Gas Grid (NEGG), developed by Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL).

The new connectivity will enable the utilisation of nearly 1 lakh Standard Cubic Metres (SCM) of gas per day. This is a significant development, as it complements the commissioning of the Dergaon, Dimapur Pipeline, which has connected Nagaland to the North East Gas Grid and the National Gas Grid.

ONGC is also working on developing hook-up facilities at Jantapathar and Kasomarigaon to connect additional producing fields of Jorhat Asset with the North East Gas Grid. This will further augment gas availability, reduce flaring, and strengthen the gas-based economy of the region.
