As per some media reports, Reliance Industries(RIL) along with partners BP and Canada's Niko Resources have decided to exit the D4 oil and gas block off India's east coast, on account of production problem in the region.

The D4 block, situated in the Mahanadi basin, lies north of Reliance's main D6 block in the neighbouring Krishna-Godavari (KG) basin, where gas output has dwindled sharply over the last year, thereby tainting growth outlook for the Indian energy major and forcing the government to withhold approvals. Reliance wuthh 55% interest in the block, is the operator of the block, Alberta-based Niko has a 15% interest in the D4 block, while BP holds 30%.
