T
he Krishna Godavari basin which extends into the Eastern
offshore of India is a major hydrocarbon hub of India with
new developments. Although Hydrocarbons were discovered
in the deep-water regions of eastern offshore in the KG basin
long ago, development of the fields started only recently owing
to the availability of proven and reliable subsea equipment and
controls technology, developments related to vessel and rig
stabilityandimprovedcosteconomics.Thevesselandrigstability
were very important factors because of the weather conditions
that exist in the eastern offshore, India. Vasishta and S1 Gas
fields are two such deep water fields located in water depths
ranging from 300m to 700m in Eastern Offshore, India. VA-S1
field development project in G-1/Vasishta PML of erstwhile KG-
OS-DW-IV block was one of the earliest deep-water projects in
the eastern offshore of India, was undertaken by ONGC with
100% participation interest and was completed in March 2018.
