15 Jan 2013 Evaluate

Reliance Industries' KG-D6 gas field’s production has dropped to just 22.04 million standard cubic meters per day as the company shut over a third of wells due to high water and sand ingress. The output is made up of 17.66 mmscmd from D1&D3 and 4.38 mmscmd from MA field.

The company had shut six wells till 2010 end and further closed its seventh well on November 29. The same problem has led to shutting of one-third of the wells on MA oilfield in the same block.

Meanwhile, of the 22.04 mmscmd of cumulative production in the December 24-31 period, 14.64 mmscmd was sold to fertiliser plants and 4.47 mmscmd to power plants. The remaining 2.93 mmscmd gas was consumed by other sectors such as LPG and the East-West pipeline which transports the fuel from east coast to the west.

Reliance Industries has so far drilled 22 wells on D1&D3 fields but has put only 18 to utilization so far. D1&D3, which started gas production in April 2009, had touched a peak of 55 mmscmd in August 2010 before beginning of water and sand ingress in wells.
