India's Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) has awarded Genesis a contract to undertake front end engineering design (FEED) on the MJ field deepwater development in block KG-DWN-98/3 in the Bay of Bengal.
This project will consider a seven-well gas condensate discovery producing via two subsea drill centers and tied back to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO).
The work will be managed from the Genesis head office in London. Genesis is a TechnipFMC company.
The D6 Block offshore India is operated by Reliance Industries. In 2015, the MJ Discovery was estimated to have 1.4 Tcf of unrisked contingent resources offshore India, according to partner Niko Resources.
D6 is in the Krishna-Godavari basin and spans over 1.88 million acres. Dhirubhai 1 and 3 MA gas and oil fields are also located in the block.
