Deepwater Field Development in Challenging Times in Eastern Offshore
  • Being a highly capital intensive and involving multi-billion-dollar capital outlay leading to higher risk of capital exposure coupled with supply chain pressures and limited availability of marine vessels and technology challenges. R cluster field is one such which demonstrated the success of overcoming these challenges with well-organized operations in remote and harsh area weather when there is a limited fair-weather window of only 4 months are available in each year.

  • R Cluster (D-34) Field was commissioned successfully in December 2020 and achieved peak production of 13.7 MMSCMD with six wells. Satellite (D-2 & D-22) & Other Satellite Cluster (D-29 Field was commissioned in April 2021, two months ahead of schedule. All five wells have been opened, tested and ramped up, achieving a peak production of 6.3 MMSCMD. Together, the fields are currently producing ~20 MMSCMD, and contributing substantially to domestic production.

  • With the commissioning of R Cluster and Satellite Cluster Fields in December 2020 and April 2021 respectively, production has been ramped up to 20 MMSCMD gas.
