Worley subsidiary INTECSEA has been awarded a project management consultancy (PMC) contract by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) for the MJ Field deepwater gas and condensate project offshore India.

Under the contract, INTECSEA will provide PMC services for the development of Reliance’s subsea gas and condensate resource located in approximately 1,000 meters water depth.

The contract covers the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phases and involves subsea facilities and offshore processing using a floating production storage and offloading facility (FPSO) and existing gas trunk line, Worley said.

“We are pleased to continue our relationship with Reliance and support them in their deepwater development,” said Andrew Wood, Chief Executive Officer of Worley.

RIL and BP announced in June that they will jointly develop the deepwater MJ project (also known as D55). The development is the third of three new gas projects in the Block KG D6 integrated development plan, and its approval follows sanctions for the development of ‘R-Series’ deepwater gas field in June 2017 and for the Satellites cluster in April 2018.

The MJ project is expected to begin production in mid-2022.
