L&T bagged an order worth Rs.1,300 crore from ONGC for a major offshore project. The company will execute the entire BCP-B2 Booster Compressor Platform and deliver it within a stringent time frame of over two years.

To be located in the Bassein Gas field, approximately 80 km north-west of Mumbai, the booster compressor platform will rest on the seabed supported by a jacket structure. It will compress natural gas to a pressure of 60 kg /cm2 using turbine driven compressors. The new platform will be bridge-linked to ONGC's existing BCP-B platform.

All critical structures for the project will be delivered from the Company's modular fabrication facility at Hazira. The Company has recently acquired over 100 acres of additional land for a rapid expansion of its complex at Hazira to meet the increasing demands from the oil & gas sector in India and abroad.
