New Delhi, Sept 21 (NVI) India’s State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) Limited today said it has struck gas in deep waters of Mahanadi Basin, which can benefit the country towards meeting the energy requirements.
MDW-28, the maiden well of ONGC’s current deepwater campaign in the Mahanadi Basin is flowing gas with encouraging rates and sustained reservoir pressure, it said in a statement.
The well was perforated on September 18 following evaluation of subsurface data. It is currently flowing with a good gas rate and healthy reservoir pressure.
This find, along with other discoveries in the area, can be a candidate for development through shared facilities enabled by the PNG Rules, 2025, bringing deepwater resources onstream, ONGC said.
ONGC will continue to push into deep and ultra-deepwater frontiers in the search for hydrocarbons, and towards India’s goal of energy security, it added. (NVI)
