6. Highlights

6.1 Discoveries:
So far, total 18 discoveries have been made by ONGC in 2014-15.

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

  1. Oil & Gas Discovery in well G-1-NE-1 in deep water PML Block Vashishta, KG Offshore, KG Basin
    ONGC has made oil & gas discovery in the well G-1 –NE-1, in Vashishta PML Block (KG-OS-DW-IV) at water depth of 260m in the KG offshore. The well was drilled down to 2,790 m with objective to explore Godavari Clay Formation of Pliocene age and on testing produced oil @ 2842 bbl/d and Gas @ 74,198 M3/D.

    G-1-NE-1 is located 22.6 km from the coast, 31 km SE of Odalarevu GGS. G-1, which is under development and under production is the nearest field to the present discovery. The oil production from this discovery will augment production profile of G-1 field and open up substantial prospective area between the Kanakdurga and producing G-1 Fields.

  2. Gas discovery in well G-1-NE-2 in deep water Block Vashishta, KG Offshore, KG Basin
    ONGC has made gas discovery in the well G-1–NE-2, in Vashishta PML Block (KG-OS-DW-IV) at water depth of 292 m in the KG offshore. The well was drilled down to 3015 m with objective to explore Godavari Clay Formation of Pliocene age. The well on testing produced condensate @ 304 BOPD and gas @ 232279M3/d.

    The well G-1-NE-2 is located about 30 km SE of Odalarevu and about 10 km NE of gas producing well G-1-11 of G-1 field. This new gas pool discovery, being in proximity to the G-1 field is significant for augmenting gas production from G-1 field.

  3. Thirunagari Gas Discovery (MD-5):
    ONGC has made a gas discovery in Cauvery Basin in the well MD-5. This is the second hydrocarbon discovery made by the ONGC in the NELP-IV block CY-ONN-2002/2 which is a new prospect discovery.

    During testing of the Basement section, the well MD-5 flowed gas @ 61,800 m3/d with 9.6 m3/d Condensate through 7 mm bean. The discovery is named as "Thirunagari Gas Discovery" after the name of the nearby village where the well has been drilled. This discovery is envisaged to enhance the commercial viability of the CY-ONN-2002/2 block.

  4. Gas Discovery in GD-11-1:
    ONGC has made a significant gas discovery in the nomination deep water block KG-OS-DW-III in KG Offshore. It is a new prospect discovery. Exploratory well GD-11-1(AA) lies in the PEL block KG-OS-DW-III in Krishna Godavari deep offshore at water-depth of 812 m and has been drilled down up to 2,932m.

    While drilling the Pliocene Godavari Formation about 36m of gas pay was encountered. On conventional testing of object-I in the interval 2,575-2,557 m well flowed gas @ 648,152 M3/d through 32/64"choke. The well has further established the hydrocarbon prospectivity in PEL block KG-OS-DW-III. With the discovery of gas from GD-11-1 from a similar play as that of KG-OSN-2004/1 has opened up a large opportunity and further assessment is in progress.

  5. WO-5-G (WO-5-11), Western Offshore:
    Exploratory well WO-5-11 in BOFF PML of BH-DCS sector in Mumbai Offshore was drilled to explore Hydro-carbon potential of Mukta & Bassein formations. On the basis of evaluation of drilling data, electro log analysis, sidewall cores and MDT results, one object (interval 2,208-2,215m) in Panna Formation was identified for testing which flowed oil @1539 BPD and gas @ 9,974 m3/day through 12mm choke.
  6. Gas discovery in well Damoh-4, Vindhyan Basin, MP:
    ONGC made a new Gas pool discovery in exploratory well Damoh-4 in nomination PEL block of Damoh-Jabera-Katni, Vindhyan Basin in Damoh district in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The well was drilled to a depth of 1652.5m. The well on testing flowed gas @ 443m3/d through 4mm bean. The discovery has opened up new play in Damoh-Jabera-Katni PEL area of Vindhyan Basin for further exploration.
  7. Gas discovery in block GK-OSN-2009/1, Kutch Offshore
    ONGC made a new oil & gas prospect discovery in the well GKS091NDA-1 falling in the NELP block GK-OSN-2009/1 in Kutch Offshore. ONGC is the operator (40%) while other partners are AWEL (20%), GSPC-20% & IOC (20%).

    On testing, the Object-I in the interval of 1593.5-1595m flowed oil @ 154 BPD and gas @ 8337m3/d. Second Object in the interval of1482-1485m flowed gas @194,360 m3/d thru ½" choke.

  8. Madanam-6 (NMAD), Tamil Nadu
    The well Madanam-6 (NMAD) falling in NELP Block CY-ONN-2002/2 was drilled to appraise the MD-3 oil discovery from Basement. It is located about 8.0 km northeast of the Sirkazhi town in Nagapattinam district of Tamilnadu. The block is operated by ONGC having 60% PI and BPRL with 40 % PI is the partner. On testing Object II in the interval 1375.5 – 1374.5m in Kamalapuram Formation, well flowed oil @ 24 m3/d (6mm bean) & Gas @ 35000M3/day. Madanam-6 has been declared as a new pool discovery in Kamalapuram formation. The new pool discovered in Kamalapuram formation is expected to enhance the commercial viability of the NELP block CY-ONN-2002/2.
