IGGL lays Asia’s Longest River Crossing Oil Pipeline in Upper Assam

The Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited (IGGL) has accomplished the Herculean task of laying Asia’s longest river crossing oil pipeline of bigger size (24-inch diameter and above), which is also the second longest in the world, connecting river island Majuli with Jorhat in upper Assam.

 

The IGGL said the laying of the hydrocarbon pipeline beneath the mighty and aggressive Brahmaputra by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) method was completed last month.

 

“With the completion of the Brahmaputra HDD, the IGGL has achieved more that 71% physical progress of the North East Gas Grid (NEGG) project and we will be able to complete the Guwahati-Numaligarh section of the NEGG by February 2024. I’m extremely proud of my team, which has worked tirelessly to achieve this milestone overcoming challenges of monsoon rain and floods in Assam. I am also thankful to the government of Assam, which has been extremely supportive in implementing this project,” said Ajit Kumar Thakur, CEO of IGGL.
