INDIA'S largest oil-and-gas exploration and production company, Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), is moving towards making a final investment decision (FID) on the delayed development of the Vashishta and S-1 fields, after receiving a winning bid from US-based international contracting group.
The bid by McDermott came within a revised project budget, and beat competing commercial bids from two other qualified contenders, Subsea 7 and Technip in an international tender. The US company's bid at US$366 million is understood to be over US$100 million off the next-lowest submission.
