RIL Boosts Output at KG-D6 Field by 15%

Reliance Industries (RIL) has boosted gas production at KG-D6 fields by about 15% after it added first well in almost four years, news agency Press Trust of India reported earlier this week.

Company’s MA-8 well began production on January 2 taking the output the KG-D6 block to about 13.7 million standard cubic meters per day, Press Trust quoted company officials as saying.
 
RIL and its partners BP and Niko Resources had last month spud the seventh well on the MA oil and gas field in the KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 block in the Krishna Godavari basin.
 
MA-8 is currently producing less than 1.5 mmscmd and is projected to go up to 2.5 mmscmd, Press Trust reported.

KG-D6 has seen sharp decline in production and last month output dropped to about 11.7 mmscmd.
 
According to the news report, current output of 13.7 mmscmd is made up of about 8.7 mmscmd from Dhirubhai 1 and 3 (D1&D3) gas field and about 5 mmscmd from the MA field in the same block.
 
Officials said RIL is also repairing a third of the wells shut at its main D1&D3 gas field to boost output by March.
