ONGC-led JV commences production from PY-3 Field in Cauvery Basin

26 May 2025 Evaluate

A Joint Venture (JV) of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Hardy Exploration & Production (India) Inc., and Invenire Petrodyne, has successfully commenced production from the PY-3 Field, located offshore in the Cauvery Basin on the east coast of India.

Originally brought onstream in 1997, the PY-3 Field had been shut since July 2011. Since then, a multi-phase revised Field Development Plan (FDP) has been implemented to revive production. Phase I of the revised FDP has now been completed. This included integrity assessment, conditioning, and activation of the subsea well PD3SA; installation of subsea infrastructure; and hook-up to the Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel Svetah Venetia. 

The FPSO is being used to process and separate oil, gas, and water. The produced oil is stored on the FPSO and offloaded to shuttle tankers for transport to refineries. Phase II of the FDP will involve the drilling of additional wells and the application of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques to boost output from this prolific field, which yields light, sweet crude oil.

ONGC is India’s largest government-run corporation and produces about 70% of India’s crude oil and natural gas. The corporation is the biggest public sector commercial organization in India.
