ONGC deploys 200-ton crane at Assam gas leak site as well capping preparations advance
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has commissioned a 200-tonne crane with an 80-metre boom at the site of well RDS#147A in Assam’s Rudrasagar field, the company said on Tuesday. “This marks a significant advancement in the preparatory phase leading to the well-capping operation,” a statement issued by ONGC said. The oil major said that it “continues to make measured and strategic progress in the well control operations at RDS#147A, despite persistent rainfall and challenging site conditions.”
The crane is now fully operational and is actively supporting critical tasks at the site. Its deployment follows extensive stabilisation work to ensure safe use amid persistent rainfall and challenging ground conditions.
“Several site stabilisation and preparatory activities were undertaken to ensure the safe deployment and operation of the heavy-duty crane,” ONGC said. “ONGC teams responded promptly, reinforcing the location to maintain momentum in the ongoing operations,” it added.
