Introduction: 

RIL plans to develop the offshore gas field known as Block KG-DWN-98/3 in the Krishna 

Godavari Basin, Bay of Bengal off the East Coast of India (the “Gas Field”). The Gas Field 

covers an area of approximately 7,500 km2 and is located between approximately 40km and 

60 km south east of Kakinada. The Gas Field lies in water depths ranging between 400 meters in 

the northwest and over 2,700 meters in the southeast. 

In line with the development of the Gas Field RIL plans to construct an Onshore Gas Terminal. 

This Onshore Gas Terminal will process the gas to meet the gas sales specifications. 

The Onshore Gas Terminal will be situated near Gadimoga village in Tallarevu Mandal, about 30 

Km south of Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh, India. The following facilities are envisaged at the 

Terminal: pig receivers, slug catchers, inlet separators, gas dehydration system using TEG, 

TEG regeneration system, MEG storage and continuous injection system through dedicated dual 

6" pipelines, MEG regeneration system, gas turbines for power generation, emergency power 

generation system, utilities, effluent treatment plant, DCS, ESD system and other facilities. The 

KG-D6 field operations will be controlled from the Control cum Riser Platform (CRP).

Pile foundations of pre-cast driven/ bored cast in situ and civil 

works for Onshore Gas Terminal. 

Introduction: 

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL), is setting up an Onshore Gas Terminal near Gadimoga village in 

Tallarevu Mandal , about 30 Km south of Kakinada in the state of Andhra Pradesh, as a part of 

Project for Development of Gas discoveries in the deep water offshore block KG-DWN-98/3 

(KGD6). 

The Onshore Gas Terminal site elevation is being raised upto + 4.2 MSL by filling with granular 

material dredged from Godavari river. 

The civil work for onshore terminal involves installation of pile foundations (approx 3000 nos) with 

varying pile diameters to meet design pile capacities and other associated civil works. 

RIL intends to execute the project on a Fast Track mode. The site would be available for piling 

and civil works from June / July 2006. The major portion of pile foundation may be required to be 

executed in a period of 4 months from mobilization.

The general soil conditions at site is as follows: 

Soils encountered are: 

A) + 4.5 m to 0 m: Reclaimed fill, fine sand with silt / clay upto 15% by volume. 

B) 0 to - 4m / -19.5m from MSL: Very soft clay with loose fine sand partings 

(-ve values are below MSL). 

C) -4 m / -19.5 m to -10 m / -21.5 m : Medium Dense sand, thickness of sand layer is 

as small as 2 m at places and max upto 6 m at other places. 

D) -10 m / -21.5 m to -40 m / 45 m: Medium stiff clay to stiff clay. 

E) -40 m / -45 m: Very dense sand.
