NEW DELHI, India – ONGC has made two deepwater discoveries in the KG basin off India.
In the G-1 PML concession, the G-1-15 (G-1-AC-Shift) well was drilled to a depth of 2,350 m (7,710 ft), encountering oil and gas during tests of three sand intervals in the Godavari Clay formation (Pliocene).
ONGC has declared one of the structures tested, Object-III, a new pool discovery, and also aims to upgrade volumes in Sand-8 (Object-I and II), consolidating the gas reserve base of the G-1 field.
The GS-29-8 Sub (GS-29-AI) well was drilled in the GS-29 Extn. PML nomination block to a depth of 2,600 m (8,530 ft), testing two sand intervals in the Godavari Clay formation (Pliocene). Tests on the Lower and Upper sand intervals both flowed oil and gas.
