    WASHINGTON, D.C -- The Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) has approved a $400 million long-term loan guarantee to support US exports of equipment and services to Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) of Mumbai, India, for its onshore and offshore oil and gas E&P activities in the Krishna Godavari basin in the Bay of Bengal.

    RIL will use the Ex-Im Bank-guaranteed financing for its purchases of US engineering services, oil field equipment, offshore platform support, and drill and well services. A small portion of the financing will be used to support ongoing work at the Jamnagar refinery, which received Ex-Im Bank support in 2007 and is currently under construction.
