India’s offshore energy landscape is entering a new phase of growth with several Indian deepwater projects driving exploration and production potential in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. These projects represent the next frontier in India’s quest for energy self-reliance, tapping into challenging terrains where advanced subsea technologies and global partnerships play a vital role.

Key projects such as ONGC’s KG-DWN-98/2, Reliance Industries and BP’s KG D6 expansion, and Vedanta’s deepwater prospects in the East Coast have become central to India’s long-term energy vision. These developments are not just about discovering hydrocarbons—they reflect India’s commitment to building offshore infrastructure, expanding domestic output, and reducing LNG import dependence.

According to Indian Petroplus, investment in Indian deepwater projects is expected to exceed USD 20 billion over the coming decade, with production from these high-pressure, high-temperature fields set to add significant natural gas volumes to the national grid. However, the road ahead is marked by complex geology, high capital costs, and the need for advanced drilling rigs and subsea systems.

Government support through improved fiscal terms under the HELP regime and streamlined clearances is providing much-needed momentum. With rising energy demand and the global shift toward cleaner fuels, deepwater gas offers a strategic bridge in India’s transition to a low-carbon economy, Subsea India, Offshore Exploration, Deepwater Drilling, FPSO India, Energy Security.For access to many such exclusive stories, please register on www.indianpetroplus.com

India’s offshore energy sector is witnessing a strong surge in activity, with subsea projects in India gaining momentum to tap into deepwater and ultra-deepwater hydrocarbon reserves. These subsea developments, primarily in the Krishna-Godavari (KG) Basin and Mahanadi offshore, are critical to enhancing India’s domestic oil and gas output and reducing import dependency.

Leading operators such as ONGC and Reliance Industries are driving major subsea projects in India through the deployment of subsea wellheads, flowlines, manifolds, umbilicals, and riser systems. The KG-D6 block operated by RIL-BP is a flagship deepwater project that involves complex subsea infrastructure to bring gas from deep reservoirs to the surface.

ONGC’s Cluster 2 development in the KG Basin is another high-profile project where multiple subsea wells and tie-backs are being developed using cutting-edge technologies. These projects demand high precision engineering and extensive collaboration with global subsea equipment providers.

Indian Petroplus, a trusted platform for oil and gas intelligence, actively tracks ongoing and upcoming subsea projects in India. From tender announcements to contract awards, project milestones, and contractor involvement, Indian Petroplus offers unmatched visibility into the evolving subsea landscape.As India shifts focus toward deepwater exploitation, subsea projects in India are set to play a pivotal role in unlocking hidden offshore reserves. With growing investments and technical advancements, the country’s subsea capabilities are expected to expand rapidly, Subsea India, Subsea Projects India, Offshore India, Deepwater India, Subsea Engineering.
