RIL Seeks Government Nod to Raise Gas Output

Reliance Industries has sought the Indian government's approval to implement processes which will help it increase output at its natural gas block in the Krishna Godavari region, a senior official of the company said Saturday, the Dow Jones newswire reported. 

The company expects to increase output in about two years after receiving the approval, Dow Jones said. 

Output of RIL’s Dhirubhai-1 (D1) and D3 gas finds from the KG-D6 gas block has been declining and has hit all-time lows recently. Company’s D1 and D3 are currently together producing 953 million cubic feet (27 million cubic meters) of gas a day.
