Reliance Industries (RIL) has raised its crude oil production capacity from the D6 block of the Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, the largest find in the country, to a maximum level of 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the earlier 18,000 bpd. The company has drilled two more wells and resumed commercial production on Sunday night, after 35 days of a planned shutdown. The production will increase to 40,000 bpd only in a month’s time, depending on how the resource reacts to the capacity enhancement.

The entire crude produce would be sold to Chennai Petroleum Corporation, a subsidiary of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), at the existing international crude price.
To raise the capacity, the company had temporarily stopped crude oil production from its east coast block from March 22. Before the shutdown, RIL was producing about 18,000 bpd from two wells. The company began oil production from the KG block in mid-September.
