Reliance, BP start production at Satellite Cluster ahead of schedule

Reliance Industries (RIL) and BP on Monday announced the start of production from the Satellite Cluster gas field, in block KG-D6, ahead of schedule. The second of the three deep-water gas developments, planned jointly, was expected to start production in mid-2021.
 
RIL and BP have been developing R Cluster, Satellite Cluster and MJ in the KG-D6 block — which together are expected to produce around 30 mmscmd (1 billion cubic feet a day) of natural gas by 2023. It will meet up to 15 per cent of the country’s gas de­mand, said RIL in its ex­change filing on Monday.
