Under the contract, L&T’s subsidiary L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) will be responsible for engineering, procurement, construction and installation services for the project.

The company will construct a process platform with gas processing and compression facilities, one nine-slot well head platform, and complete topside modification on existing platforms, associated subsea pipelines and one living quarter platform at the field.

Planned to be completed by December 2017, the project is part of ONGC’s plan to increase gas recovery from the field.

Over its operations until 2028, the Bassein field is estimated to produce 19.56 billion cubic meters of gas, 1.97 million cubic meters of condensate and 1.83 million metric tons of oil.
