An official announced on Saturday that the ONGC has signed gas selling contracts with GAIL India and Assam Gas Company Ltd (AGCL) to monetize its forthcoming field at Khubal in the North Tripura area. According to the agreement, Khubal Gas Gathering Station (GGS) would supply 50,000 standard cubic meters of gas to both GAIL and AGCL.

Khubal will be ONGC’s 10^th producing field in Tripura once it begins production. According to him, Khubal GGS will have the ability to process 0.44 MMSCMD (4,40,000 standard cubic metres) of gas, and construction of the facility has already begun.

According to Tarun Malik, asset manager for ONGC Tripura, “it marks a momentous occasion not just for ONGC, GAIL, and AGCL but for the people of Northeast as well since it means more gas will make its way into companies and people’s homes, positively influencing living standards.”

“The GSA for gas produced from Khubal wells represents more than merely a development in ONGC and GAIL’s partnership. It shows the region’s growing integration with the rest of the nation, “R Choudhury, the CGM-zonal head of GAIL, remarked.

The GSA represents a significant turning point in the development of any gas business, indicating commercial viability for producers like ONGC while assuring that the product is delivered to the final customer through marketing and transportation intermediates like GAIL and AGCL.

According to officials, the Khubal gas field will begin producing in 2024, the same year that the Indra Danush Gas Grid Line (IGGL), a vital and significant infrastructure project for the Northeast region’s gas sector, would be put into service.
