GAIL's proposal for a tie-in with Suvali terminal kicks up a furor: Cairn objects, says gas supply may get hurt

GAIL's proposal for a tie-in with the Suvali terminal in the CB-OS/3 block operated by a JV headed by Cairn India Ltd (other partners are ONGC and Tata Petrodyne) so that the gas major can connect the gas coming out of ONGC's North Tapti field to its Hazira -Vijaipur- Jagdishpur and Dahej-Uran-Panvel networks has elicited a howl of protest from other stakeholders.
8The first to complain was Cairn who claimed that the tie-in will reduce the flow of gas from the CB-OS/3 block to GSPC's pipeline network given that the volume of gas to be pumped from the terminal has gone up.
8Then again, Cairn said that it would want to be compensated for any loss of gas. 
8What is more, Cairn seemed skeptical about GAIL's proposal for tieing in 1.2 mmscmd of gas whereas the capacity of ONGC's North Tapti fields is in excess of 1.20 mmscmd.
8On successful connectivity, GAIL will be able to transport ONGC's North Tapti gas to its consumers.
The scope of work will also include the following: -- 16" x 12.5 KM pipeline from Cairn's facilities at Suvali to Kribhco 
--16" pipeline to NTPC Kawas power plant
-- Associated facilities
