Project Commissioning Details
ONGC successfully commissioned gas evacuation facilities at Khoraghat GGS-1 in Golaghat district, Assam, on 18 August 2026. 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 Limited (IGGL).
Gas Capacity and Utilization
The new connectivity will facilitate utilization of nearly 1 lakh Standard Cubic Metres (SCM) of gas per day from ONGC's Jorhat asset.
Infrastructure Integration
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.
Future Expansion Plans
ONGC is developing additional 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 and reduce flaring.
Regional Economic Impact
The improved gas availability will create opportunities for households, industry, transport and power sectors, while supporting the economic and infrastructure development of Assam and the wider North-East region.
Strategic Vision
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.
