Union Oil Minister Shri HS Puri re-dedicated ONGC’s Sagar Samrat to the nation as a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU), which will handle up to 20,000 barrels per day (BPD) of crude oil and is expected to add 6,000 BPD to India’s production.
The ceremony, which took place aboard the Sagar Samrat on Saturday, was also attended by Oil Secretary Pankaj Jain and ONGC Chairman Arun Kumar Singh. The platform will be able to operate in deep waters as well as will open up new opportunities to access previously untapped reserves.
