Hazira gas processing complex of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd has reached a throughput level of 28 million standard cubic metres a day (mscmd) of gas to the Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline, 70 per cent of its pre-shut-down level. According to a statement issued by the company here, the processing units are restarting operations, one after another. The fifth processing unit went online on Saturday enabling the plant reach 28 mscmd.

The plant logged 12 mscmd on August 21, and 18 mscmd on August 26. The gas supply scaled 23 mscmd on September 1 and eventually, 28 mscmd the next day, five days ahead of schedule, the statement said. ONGC expects to restore complete processing of 40 mmscmd in the next few days, it added.
