McDermott International, Inc. announced that early first gas has been achieved on India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation's (ONGC) 98/2 Block in the Krishna Godavari Basin, offshore India. Awarded in October 2018, the large subsea project in India brings together leading subsea equipment and services to provide ONGC with end-to-end project delivery. The integrated subsea package includes the supply of all subsea production systems (SPS), including 26 deepwater trees, and the installation of subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) at a water depth of between zero to 4,265 feet (1,300 meters). Early first gas involved the tie-back of a single well to the existing Vashishta facility. At 4,265 feet (1,300 meters), the first well that has been opened for early first gas is the deepest water depth opened by ONGC.
