Cairn India, the operator of India's biggest onshore oilfield in Rajasthan, is reportedly planning to commence the commercial sale of gas from the block to fertilizer firms in Gujarat from this month. The company will be supplying gas from March 23, 2013 after a formal announcement by oil minister Veerappa Moily.
In starting days, the company will limit the sale to 5 million standard cubic feet per day. It has identified gas prospects in the block, which will enhance gas output significantly in near future. State run firm also aims to receive about $5 a unit price for the gas, which is the prevailing rate charged by state oil firms to consumers in Rajasthan and south Gujarat.
The entity has also decided to invest about $600 million to drill about 100 exploration wells in the prolific Rajasthan block to augment oil and gas production. Cairn, which has recently received government's approval to continue exploring the block, is making all efforts to expeditiously raise the output to 300,000 barrels per day in two-three years.
