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

Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL) and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) have signed three hook-up agreements to link ONGC’s natural gas fields to the northeast gas grid (NEGG) project for the transportation of natural gas from the Jorhat, Silchar and Tripura assets of ONGC. IGGL is laying a 1,656 km of pipeline under the northeast 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 metres per day (scmd) from the Jorhat asset, 82,500 scmd from the Silchar asset and 700,000 scmd from the Tripura asset.
