The gloomy portent to India’s worst-ever offshore disaster was a series of satellite images. On May 15, meteorologists in the India Meteorological Department (IMD) in Delhi didn’t have the slightest doubt what the INSAT-3D imagery was showing them. The menacing low-pressure vortex they saw heading north just off India’s west coast was an ‘extremely severe cyclonic storm’, likely one of the biggest cyclones to hit the west coast in decades. The IMD alert that day sounded the warning as the cyclone had begun barrelling towards Gujarat, right over the vital oil fields of Mumbai High operated by the petroleum ministry PSU, the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC).

India s Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has launched a high-level investigation into the barge sinking offshore India that is now confirmed to have claimed at least 22 lives with more than 50 other personnel still unaccounted for.
Disaster struck on Monday when Cyclone Tauktee barrelled across the Arabian Sea and slammed into Oil & Natural Gas Corporation’s Mumbai High asset. Three Afcons’ barges, including Papaa 305 – which subsequently capsized and sank – and an ONGC drillship bore the brunt of the worst cyclone to hit the region in more than 20 years.
