Shell, Reliance Industries Limited, and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) have successfully completed India鈥檚 first offshore oil and gas decommissioning project by dismantling mid and south Tapti field facilities in the Arabian Sea.

The project involved removal of five wellhead platforms, infield pipelines, and onshore load-in at a dismantling yard. It also included the safe plugging and abandonment of 38 wells. The Tapti fields ceased production in March 2016.

This achievement highlights advanced planning, strong collaboration, and adherence to regulatory standards, with an emphasis on safety and environmental sustainability. The initiative demonstrates India鈥檚 growing capacity for complex offshore infrastructure operations.

The Tapti fields were operated under the Panna-Mukta-Tapti (PMT) joint venture, a production sharing contract with the Government of India. The joint venture included ONGC with 40 per cent participating interest, and Shell through BG Exploration & Production India, along with Reliance Industries.

This large-scale operation represents a milestone in responsible decommissioning practices and supports the government鈥檚 鈥淢ake and Break in India鈥� vision. It also enhances local capabilities in offshore dismantling and sets a precedent for future energy infrastructure projects.
