Reliance, BP propose single test to get approval for 3 gas finds

03 Dec 2012 Evaluate

Mukesh Ambani owned Reliance Industries (RIL) and UK’s BP Plc have proposed to do a single confirmation test on three natural gas discoveries in KG-D6 block that have so far not recognized as commercial finds by the Oil Ministry. The technical arm of the ministry - Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) has not recognized the D-29, 30 and 31 discoveries since February 2010 as RIL had not performed its prescribed tests to confirm the finds.

DGH wants three separate DSTs to be done on the three discoveries before approving their Declaration of Commerciality (DoC) but BP India wrote to the Oil Minister saying the proposal to conduct a single DST in one of the three discoveries to physically substantiate flow as forecasted should be enough to establish commerciality of all the three finds. DoC is pre-requisite for any discovery to be development.
