d. The details of the recent discoveries (notified after the last press release on February 9, 2018) are as under:
1. GS-71-2 (GS-71-AB) in GS-15/23 PML Block, KG Offshore (SW), KG-PG Basin.
The well GS-71-2 in GS 15/23 PML of KG Shallow offshore was drilled to a depth of 3600m. Out of the five objects identified for testing, Object-I in the interval 3437-3440m & 3441.5-3444m produced oil @567 BOPD (90.14 m3/d) and gas @3,35,365 m3/d through 32/64” choke. Further four objects will be tested which indicated presence of hydrocarbon from MDT results. Production from this well can be monetized through GS-23-1 platform connected to Odalarevu GGS.
2. BU-6 (BUAF) in Bhubandar PML Block, Cachar District, A&AA Basin.
The well BU-6 (BUAF) was drilled on Bhubandar prospect in Bhubandar PML of Cachar part of Fold Belt in the state of Assam. The well was drilled to the target depth of 2185m and terminated within middle Bhuban Formation. Four objects were approved for conventional testing. Object-I in the interval 1997.5-2002.5m on testing yielded mild gas. Object-II in the interval 1954-1957m is a new sand developed in Upper Bhuban Formation which on conventional testing has produced gas @ 14093 m3/d with QL@0.14 m3/d ( oil / condensate) thru 5mm bean. The success in this well has resulted in a new pool discovery from Upper Bhuban Formation and will lead to an exploration impetus to the area which may add up to the hydrocarbon volume.
In addition, the following 3 discoveries have been notified in the year 2018-19 so far:
1. Babejia -2 (BJAB) in Golaghat Extn-IIA ML.
The Exploratory well Babejia-2 (BJAB), Golaghat Extn-IIA ML located in Upper Assam South was drilled down to 2631m. On testing, Object-II (2361-2357 m) within Sylhet Formation flowed oil @ 89 m3/day and gas @ 5,512 m3/day through 6 mm bean. This has resulted in a new pool oil discovery from Sylhet play. Besides, Object- I (2631-2535m) in Basement, on barefoot testing flowed gas @ 13,680 m3/d through 6 mm bean. Hydrocarbon success from Sylhet play in Babejia structure away from Khoraghat and Nambar fields is an important exploration lead in Upper Assam South and will lead to renewed exploration thrust for deeper plays in the area.
2. GD982NA-M#6 in KG-DWN-98/2 NELP block (Cluster-II PML).
The exploratory well KG-DWN-98/2-M-6 (KGD982NA-M-AE) located in Cluster-II PML of KG-DWN-98/2 NELP block was drilled down to 2750 m at the water depth of 341 m. On testing, Object-I (2654-2666 m, Godavari Clay) produced oil @ 597 BOPD (90.8 m3/d) and gas @ 13137 m3/d through 16/64” choke whereas Object-III (2448-2465 m, Godavari Clay) produced oil @ 2370 BOPD (360 m3/d) and gas @ 62,254 m3/d through 32/64” choke.
The discovery of new pool has enhanced the value of the block KG-DWN-98/2 and has opened up further area for exploration.
3. Rokhia-75/RO-75(ROBE) in Konaban PML
The Exploratory well RO-75(ROBE) in Konaban PML located AAFB,Tripura was drilled down to 3230m. On testing, Object-I (3035-3042m, 3042-3048m, Middle Bhuban) flowed gas @ 1,86,000 m3/d thru 8mm bean. The interval is a new sand in Konaban field and is being considered as a new pool gas discovery. The success in this well has further reaffirmed the hydrocarbon prospectivity of new Middle Bhuban sands in northern part of Konaban prospect in Tripura.
