Hindustan Oil Exploration Company Ltd Temporarily Suspends Production in Block B-80 Due to Adverse Weather Conditions
AI Summary
Hindustan Oil Exploration Company Ltd has temporarily suspended production from Block MB/OSDSF/B-80/2016 (B-80) due to adverse weather conditions. The Floating Storage Offshore (FSO) unit was de-moored from the Single Point Mooring (SPM) and anchored at a secure location for over a week. The wells are secured with diesel and chemicals, and the export flowline is flushed with water. Production is expected to resume once the weather improves and the FSO is re-moored to the SPM. The disruption is on account of adverse weather conditions during monsoon, which is normal in nature for any offshore oil and gas E&P operations.
