ONGC commissions gas evacuation facilities at Khoraghat GGS-1 in Assam
Aug-19-2026

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has successfully commissioned gas evacuation facilities at Khoraghat GGS-1 in Golaghat district, Assam. The facility enables surplus associated natural gas from the Upper Assam Shelf to be processed and evacuated through the North East Gas Grid (NEGG) developed by Indradhanush Gas Grid (IGGL). The development complements the commissioning of the Dergaon-Dimapur Pipeline, which has connected Nagaland to the North East Gas Grid and the National Gas Grid. The new connectivity will facilitate utilisation of nearly 1 lakh Standard Cubic Metres (SCM) of gas per day from the company’s Jorhat asset.

The company is also developing hook-up facilities at Jantapathar and Kasomarigaon to connect additional producing fields of Jorhat Asset with the North East Gas Grid. These projects will further augment gas availability, reduce flaring and strengthen the gas-based economy of the region.

The improved gas availability will also create opportunities for households, industry, transport and power, while supporting the economic and infrastructure development of Assam and the wider North-East. Together, the infrastructure strengthens gas connectivity across the region and advances the vision of developing the North-East as a key growth engine of India and a more integrated gas-based economy.

ONGC is India’s largest government-run corporation and produces more than half of India’s crude oil and natural gas. The corporation is the biggest public sector commercial organization in India.
