The Management Committee approved the exploration work programme for the RJON-90/1 block on 14 February, 2013, post which Cairn India, the operator of the block, commenced the drilling of its first Exploration well, Raageshwari-South-1 on February 25, 2013 located in the southern part of the block.

The technical evaluations indicate 10 metres of gross oil column within Dharvi Dungar Formation.

The volumes of oil in place and the potential resource base associated with this discovery are under evaluation.
