Assam gas blowout: ONGC hopeful of plugging the leak by Friday

ONGC, collaborating with CUDD Pressure Control, achieved a significant breakthrough at Well RDS#147A, safely removing the rig substructure and preparing for the crucial snubbing operation. Hydraulic lines were successfully connected to the existing BOP, validating ONGC’s technical assessment. Favorable weather and a receding Dikhow River further aided progress, with ONGC optimistic about capping the well by Friday.
