State-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has temporarily ceased operations at two drilling rigs in Western Coast, owing to the death of an employee and another 54 testing positive for Covid-19. The two rigs were placed in two of the most lucrative assets of the company – Mumbai High and Bassein.
A company official said the work stopped temporarily only at two rigs and remaining 34 rigs in the offshore were operational. He added there was no impact on the company’s production.
