Discovered in 2013 and sanctioned in 2019, the MJ field is located in water depths of up to 1,200 meters about 30 kilometers from the existing onshore terminal at Gadimoga on the east coast of India. This is expected to account for around one-third of India’s current domestic gas production and meet approximately 15% of India’s demand.
