Cairn strikes oil, gas in KG onshore

24 Aug 2010 Evaluate

Cairn India Ltd has discovered oil and gas in its East Coast onshore block. According to the company, a flow of 75 barrels a day of oil and 0.27 million cubic feet a day of gas was achieved during the initial testing in the block KG-ONN-2003/1.

 

Earlier this year, Cairn had initiated a multi-well exploration drilling campaign in the block that it had won in the fifth round of the New Exploration Licensing Policy (NELP-V). The well and test results are being evaluated to assess the commercial potential of the discovery and to determine the future appraisal programme.

 

Cairn Energy India Pty Ltd (CEIPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cairn India, has notified the Directorate-General of Hydrocarbons of a discovery of oil and gas in the Nagayalanka-1z well, located in the onshore block KG-ONN-2003/1.

 

CEIPL, the operator of the block, has a 49 per cent participating interest and ONGC holds the balance 51 per cent equity. Cairn already has experience in the prolific east coast, as it is producing from the Ravva fields.
