Major oil explore, Cairn India has discontinued operations in two blocks in the second quarter ended September 30, because of constant intervention by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

Force majeure stated by Cairn India in the KG - OSN -2009/3 and MB - DWN -2009/1 blocks, has been accepted by the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) in view of the denial of Defence clearances to carry out seismic surveys. After that the operations in the two blocks have been stopped in the July-September quarter. Force majeure is a common clause in contracts that essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance occurs beyond the control of the parties.

The company has requested the DGH assurance that it will receive free and continuous access to the entire block and carry out the planned 3D seismic survey for six exploratory wells in initial phase. However, as there was constant intervention by the MoD in both the blocks, the oil major opted for force majeure which the DGH permitted. The company is in the process of seeking environmental clearance to enable acquisition of a 2D survey during the first quarter of 2012.
