State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has made promising offshore oil and gas discoveries in the Mumbai Offshore basin that could help augment production in the near future. The discoveries have been made in blocks awarded under the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) regime, the state-owned firm said in its fourth-quarter earnings statement. The discoveries, which have been named Suryamani and Vajramani, were made in OALP-VI block MB-OSHP-2020/2 and OALP-III block MB-OSHP- 2018/1, both in the offshore Mumbai basin. Exploratory well MBS202HAA-1 on Block MB-OSHP-2020/2 flowed 2,235 barrels per day of oil and 45,181 million cubic metres a day of gas during testing done in the January-March quarter. "This is the first discovery in Basal Clastics in OALP Block MB-OSHP-2020/2. The success in well MBS202HAA-1 was notified as New Prospect Discovery and rechristened as 'Suryamani'," ONGC said. Subsequently, during the current quarter, a second zone was tested on the same wel

A joint venture of Shell, Reliance Industries Ltd and ONGC has successfully completed India's first offshore facilities decommissioning project with the safe removal of installations on the mid and south Tapti gas field in the Arabian Sea, the firms said on Monday. Once a field stops producing oil and gas, the facilities that were erected to bring out hydrocarbons from below ground or under seabed, have to be safely removed - a process called decommissioning. The Tapti field, lying 160 km north-west of Mumbai, stopped producing in 2016. Certain facilities at the mid and south Tapti fields, known as the Tapti Part A Facilities were handed over to state-owned ONGC while the remaining facilities, which included 38 wells, 5 wellhead platforms and four pipelines, known as Tapti Part B Facilities were abandoned by the joint venture. In 2017, the joint venture started preparing to decommission the Tapti field, where Shell owned 30 per cent interest, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) .

The government will now allocate natural gas to CNG and piped cooking gas retailers two quarters in advance to give city gas companies greater clarity, the Oil Ministry said Friday. With city gas retailers like Indraprastha Gas Ltd, Mahanagar Gas Ltd and Adani-Total Gas Ltd reporting pressures on margins after the allocation of cheaper administered price or APM gas to them was cut without giving enough advance notice, the ministry decided to tweak the allocation policy. "From Q1 (first quarter) of FY 2025-26 (April 2025 to March 2026 financial year), domestic natural gas allocations for CNG (Transport) and piped natural gas (domestic household cooking gas) segments will be done on a two-quarter advance basis," the ministry said in a statement. Besides the lower-priced APM gas produced from old fields given on a nomination basis, the allocation will also now include gas from new wells drilled on the nomination fields of state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India
India's top oil and gas producer ONGC has seen a drop in natural gas production from aging fields that supply CNG and piped cooking gas, resulting in supply reductions for city gas distributors like IGL, MGL, and Adani-Total, officials said. Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is offsetting the natural decline in output from ageing gas fields by drilling new wells. However, gas from these new wells is sold at a higher price to cover the added costs, officials said. Natural gas extracted from the ground and seabed is converted into CNG for vehicles and used as cooking fuel when piped to households. Gas from fields allocated to ONGC on a nomination basis is priced by the government and referred to as APM gas. This APM gas serves as the feedstock for city gas distributors. APM gas is priced at 10 per cent of the monthly average rate of the crude oil basket India imports for its energy needs. However, the price is capped with a floor of USD 4 per million British thermal units and a .
