ONGC Connects Khoraghat Gas to North East Gas Grid, Boosting Regional Energy Access
ONGC commissioned gas evacuation facilities at Khoraghat, Assam on August 18, 2026. This connects the Upper Assam Shelf to the North East Gas Grid, enabling utilization of 1 lakh SCM of gas daily. Additional facilities are being developed to further boost gas availability and reduce flaring.
The project enhances regional energy infrastructure and economic development, impacting ONGC's operational efficiency and market presence in the North East.
The commissioning of new gas evacuation facilities and the development of additional hook-up facilities are positive developments that will increase gas availability, reduce flaring, and support regional economic growth.
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has successfully commissioned gas evacuation facilities at Khoraghat GGS-1 in Golaghat district, Assam, on 18 August 2026. This new facility will allow for the processing and evacuation of surplus associated natural gas from the Upper Assam Shelf via the North East Gas Grid (NEGG), which is being developed by Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL).
This development is a significant step forward, complementing the recent commissioning of the Dergaon–Dimapur Pipeline. This pipeline has already established a vital connection for Nagaland to both the North East Gas Grid and the National Gas Grid. The new connectivity from Khoraghat will enable the utilization of approximately 1 lakh Standard Cubic Metres (SCM) of gas per day from ONGC’s Jorhat asset.
ONGC is further enhancing gas availability by developing additional hook-up facilities at Jantapathar and Kasomarigaon. These facilities are designed to connect more producing fields within the Jorhat Asset to the North East Gas Grid. These ongoing projects are expected to significantly reduce gas flaring and bolster the gas-based economy in the region.
The increased availability of natural gas is poised to unlock new opportunities across various sectors, including households, industries, transportation, and power generation. This initiative will play a crucial role in supporting the broader economic and infrastructure development of Assam and the entire North-East region. Ultimately, these combined infrastructure enhancements are strengthening gas connectivity across the region, aligning with the national vision to develop the North-East as a primary growth engine for India and fostering a more integrated gas-based economy.
