Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is planning to establish small liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants to extract natural gas from wells situated in regions lacking pipeline connectivity.
It has identified five sites for setting up the plants in Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Gujarat. The LNG will be transported in cryogenic trucks to the nearest pipelines, where it will be reconverted to gas before being supplied to power plants, fertilizer units or city gas distributors.
