Figure-2: Monthly Natural Gas Production

 

  1. Natural gas production by ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation) in the nomination blocks during June 2022 was 1637.24 MMSCM, which is 0.6% higher target for the month but 2.8% lower than the production of June 2021. Cumulative natural gas production by ONGC during April-June, 2022 was 5086.56 MMSCM, which is 0.19% and 0.69% higher than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively.
  • Less Free gas production in MH field and normalization of gas throughput towards Uran after hook up jobs for new slug catcher, leading to less sweet gas towards Hazira side.
  • Delay in HF in Mandapeta & Natural Decline in Psarlapudi and Kesanapalli-W fields in Rajahmundry.
  • Potential decline and ceasure of wells in Gandhar field in Ankleshwar Asset.
  • S/D of OTPC unit#2 for Annual Maintenance since 23.05.2022 in Tripura.
  • Decline in AG in Geleki field & FG in Laiplingaon field in Assam Asset.
  1. Natural gas production by OIL (Oil India Ltd) in the nomination block during June 2022 was 246.75 MMSCM which is 19.24% lower than the target for the month of current year but 7.22% higher than production of corresponding month of last year. Cumulative natural gas production by OIL during April-June 2022 was 742.78 MMSCM, which is 19.68% lower than target for the period but 10.01% higher than production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
  • Low upliftment/demand of gas by the major customers.
  • Less than planned contribution from drilling wells and old wells.
  1. Natural gas production by Pvt/JVs companies in the PSC/RSC/CBM regime during June 2022 was 928.80 MMSCM, which is 0.43% lower than the target for the month but 7.69% higher when compared the production of June 2021. Cumulative natural gas production by Pvt/JVs during April-June, 2022 was 2723.82 MMSCM, which is 2.1% lower than target for the period but 11.59% higher than production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
  • AAP-ON-94/1 (HOEC): Production Shortfall due to Low consumer demand.
  • CB-OS/2 (VEDANTA): Shortfall due to delay in Drilling campaign.
  • MB/OSDSF/B80/2016 (HOEC) Production shortfall due to D1 well is shut-in due to operational issues and Plant shut-down multiple times due to process shut-down.
  • RJ-ON/6 (FEL): Less offtake of gas by buyer for two days and natural decline from wells.
  • RAVVA (VEEDANTA): Production shortfall due to RE wells were shut for rig move activities, leading to reduced monthly realization and Increased water cut in RE-5
