6. Highlights:

6.1 Discoveries

So far, total 14 discoveries have been made by ONGC in 2015-16

Following four hydrocarbon discoveries have been made since declaration of results for H1:

I. Oil & Gas discovery in the well West Penugonda#1 (WPG-AA), Godavari Onland PML, KG Basin.

ONGC made oil & gas discovery in Exploratory well, West Penugonda#1 (WPG-AA) in Godavari Onland PML of KG Basin in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The well was drilled down to a depth of 4200m to explore sands within Raghavapuram shale formation of Cretaceous age. On conventional testing, produced Oil @ 3.4 m3/d and gas @ 71,275 m3/d, through 6 mm bean.This new pool discovery proves the potential of the area between Penugonda / North Penugonda and Kavitam area in the 7 year Godavari onland PML.

II. Gas discovery in the well Kesanapalli West # 47 (KW#47) Godavari Onland PML, KG Basin.

ONGC made gas discovery in the well Kesanapalli West-47 (KW-47), in Adavipalem-Ponnamanda PML of KG basin in the State of Andhra Pradesh. The well was drilled down to a depth of 2390m to explore the Matsyapuri formation of Miocene age. On conventional testing produced Gas @ 30,000m3/d through 5mm bean. This new pool discovery, outside the Kesanapalli field pool limit, will lead to field extension and will also augment gas production.

III. Gas discovery in the well MBSO53NAA#1, NELP Block MB-OSN-2005/3 in Mumbai Offshore Basin, Western offshore.

ONGC made gas discovery in Exploratory well MBSO53NAA#1 in NELP Block MB-OSN-2005/3 in Mumbai Offshore Basin. The well was drilled down to a depth of 2612m to explore Chinchini formation of Pliocene age. On conventional testing in the interval 932 – 938 m produced gas @ 47,128 m3/d through ½” choke. Another sand in the interval 585 – 589m also in Chinchini formation of Pliocene age too produced gas @ 21,282 m3/d through ½” choke. This is the first discovery beyond the shelf margin and also in Pliocene formation for the first time in Mumbai offshore basin.

IV. Gas discovery in the well GK-28#10 (GK-28-L), GK-28 PML, Kutch Offshore, Western Offshore basin.

ONGC made gas discovery in Exploratory well GK-28#10 (GK-28-L) in GK-28 PML in Kutch Offshore of Western Offshore Basin. The well was drilled down to a depth of 1520m to explore Nakhtarana (Paleocene age) Jakhau (Early Eocene age), Chhasra (Mid Miocene age) formations and Deccan basalt. The interval 1452 – 1520 m in Deccan Trap on barefoot testing produced gas @ 1,34,846 m3/d through ½” choke. This is the first gas pool discovered in Deccan basalts in entire Western Offshore and may prove significant in terms of adding much needed critical gas volumes to GK-28/GK-42 development project.

6.2 Other Highlights​

III. Aryabhata-2, High-performance Computing Cluster inaugurated at GEOPIC

Aryabhata-2, a High-performance Computing& Cluster system at GEOPIC, has been inaugurated on 26th January 2016.Aryabhata-2, among world’s top 500 supercomputers, comprises 250 compute nodes (~6000 cores), 21 front end servers and 23 high end graphic workstations. 650 TB of enterprise class SAN storage, served through 56 Gbps FDR Infiniband interconnect provides the desired resources for much needed number crunching applications. With the adoption of this super computer, advanced processing applications such as Reverse Time Migration (RTM), 3D Surface Related Multiple Attenuation (SRMA), 5D Regularisation, etc. can now be successfully adopted in ONGC.

IV.Hazira Plant receives National Energy Conservation Award 2015

Hazira Plant won the prestigious ‘Certificate of Merit’ in National Energy Conservation Award 2015 organized by Ministry of Power for adopting energy conservation measures.
