India’s biggest energy explorer, plans to increase spending on redeveloping its largest oilfield to stem more than two decades of decline in output. ONGC has appointed oil and gas consultant Gaffney, Cline & Associates to advise on redeveloping the oilfield beyond 2012.
ONGC is extending Mumbai High’s life and spending 260 billion rupees to develop smaller fields as it targets a 12 percent output increase in 2013. Oil supply from its domestic fields has stagnated at about 25 million metric tons in the past three years.
Oil production at Mumbai High, 100 miles (160 kilometers) off the coast of India’s financial capital, may increase by as much as 10 to 12 percent after ONGC completes the 150 billion rupee ($3.3 billion) project in 2012. Annual output at the field, discovered in the 1970s, peaked at 20 million tons two decades ago and is currently 11 million tons.
