ONGC Hits 100th Crude Offloading Mark from Cluster-7 Field
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has achieved a significant milestone in its offshore production operations by completing its 100th crude offloading from the Cluster-7 field, located nearly 210 km west of Mumbai. The FPSO-based system has enabled ONGC to efficiently transport crude from the offshore field to refineries across India.
Since the first crude sale in March 2015, the Cluster-7 field has delivered approximately 5.3 million metric tonnes (MMT) of crude to refineries, generating around ₹21,000 crore in revenue for ONGC. The deployment of an FPSO vessel was a strategic solution for Cluster-7, where conventional pipeline evacuation faced several distance, economic, and technical constraints.
The latest 100th crude offloading demonstrates the sustained operational performance of the FPSO-based system and ONGC’s continued efforts to maximize the potential of its offshore resources. The milestone reflects coordination across the entire supply chain, from offshore production and storage to marine transportation and refinery delivery.
