RIL east-west pipeline to be ready by Dec
The east-west pipeline that is being laid by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) between Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh and Bharuch in Gujarat, is likely to be ready by December this year. According to senior RIL executives, more than half the work has been completed on the pipeline, which will transport gas from the KG basin to the RIL refinery at Jamnagar. Further, RIL will set up two advanced master control centres at its Nocil facility in Mumbai and at Kakinada to monitor and control the flow of gas through the 7,000-km pipeline using the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA), an optical fibre cable (OFC) network along the pipeline.
