Oil India and Indra Dhanus Partner to Boost North-East Energy Infra

05 Sep 2024 CW Team

Oil India (OIL) and Indra Dhanus Gas Grid (IGGL) have entered into agreements to enhance the connectivity and distribution of natural gas resources in the North-East region of India. Specifically, the agreements will facilitate the integration of OIL's natural gas fields located in upper Assam with the Duliajan Feeder Line of the North-East Gas Grid. This connection aims to streamline the transportation and distribution of natural gas from these fields.

Additionally, the agreements address the transportation of natural gas extracted from OIL's DSF block in Tripura. The natural gas will be evacuated through IGGL's Agartala-Tulamura pipeline, which spans 86 kilometers and has a diameter of 12 NB. This pipeline will play a crucial role in ensuring that the natural gas produced from the DSF block reaches the intended markets efficiently.

The completion of these agreements marks a significant milestone in OIL's ongoing efforts to advance energy infrastructure in the North-East region of India. It aligns with OIL's broader commitment to fostering a gas-based economy within the country, supporting both regional development and national energy goals. This step reflects a strategic move towards improving the efficiency and reach of India's energy distribution network.
