ONGC to start pumping oil from $5 billion KG block next fortnight

State-run ONGC will start pumping crude from its $5-billion project off the Andhra coast in the next fortnight, bringing on stream the delayed project that is pivotal for reversing the company’s declining fortunes as a result of maturing fields. Output from the KG-DWN 98/2, the second deep sea project in the east coast after RIL-BP’s KG-D6 acreage, will give a fillip to domestic oil production at a time when dependence on imports is rising on the back of expanding oil demand.
