Figures-1: Monthly
Crude Oil Production
1.2 ONGC’s
crude oil production during September, 2015 was 1856.795 TMT which is 2.07%
lower than the target for the month and 2.56% higher than the production
achieved in the corresponding month of last year. ONGC’s cumulative production
during April-September, 2015 was 11241.436 TMT which is 0.75% lower than the
cumulative target and 1.61% higher than the production during the corresponding
period of last year. The shortfall in ONGC’s production was due to following
reason:
v Offshore: Less than
expected production from Cluster-7 due to closure of 1 well closed due to high
CO2 content and 1 well converted to water injector. Less than planned
production from WO-16 cluster.
v Ahmedabad &
Mehsana, Gujarat: closure of Kalol-Ramol GAIL line leakage; Increase in water
cut in North Kadi; Less air injection in Santhal field; Power shutdown
affecting artificial lift operations.
v Assam : Power shut
down, low gas injection pressure.
1.3 OIL’s
crude oil production during September 2015 was 261.514 TMT which is 10.87%
lower than the target for the month and 6.34% lower than the production
achieved in the corresponding month of last year. OIL’s cumulative production
during April-September, 2015 was 1649.661 TMT which is 6.44% lower than the
cumulative target and 3.41% lower than the production during the corresponding
period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are given below:
v The shortfall is
mainly due to bandhs, blockades and flood because of continuous rainfall.
v Retrieval of
wellhead potential by workover effort has exhibited a diminishing trend because
of ageing of the major oilfields.
v Potential build-up
by drilling effort falls short of expectation because of limited structural
traps which can be exploited, and plateauing of majority of the established
oilfields.
1.4 Pvt.
/JVs’ crude oil production during September, 2015 was 924.06 TMT which is 4.97%
higher than the target for the month and 3.21% lower than production of
corresponding month of last year. Pvt./JVs’ cumulative production during
April-September, 2015 was 5789.666 TMT which is 8.25% higher than the
cumulative target and 0.69% lower than the production during the corresponding
period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are given below:
v Cairn: Under
performance of Bhagyam well and Ravva
v RIL: Under
performance of wells in KG-D6
v JV of
ONGC,BG&RIL: Natural decline in Panna Mukta
v GEOENPRO:
Production lower due to sand ingress in Kharsang
2. Natural Gas Production
2.1 Natural
Gas Production during September, 2015 was 2750.054 MMSCM which is 6.53% lower
than the target for the month and 0.88% higher than the production during
corresponding period of last year. Cumulative natural gas production during
April-September, 2015 was 16448.835 MMSCM which is 5.56% lower than the target
for the period and 2.14% lower than the production during corresponding period
of last year. Unit-wise and state-wise natural gas production is given at
annexure-II. Unit-wise natural gas production for the month of September, 2015
and cumulatively for the period April-September, 2015 vis-à-vis same period of
last year has been shown in table-2.1 and month-wise in figure-2.1.

Figures-2.1: Monthly Natural Gas Production
2.2 ONGC’s
natural gas production during September, 2015 was 1815.394 MMSCM which is 9.28%
lower than the target for the month and 2.08% higher than the production
achieved in the corresponding month of last year. ONGC’s cumulative natural gas
production during April-September, 2015 was 10837.888 MMSCM which is 7.40%
lower than the cumulative target and 1.29% lower than the production during the
corresponding period of last year. Reasons for the shortfall are given below:
v Bassein &
Satelite: Seizure of 4 wells in Bassein field. Lower than envisaged production
after repair of South Bassein Heera Trunk line. Two wells of B193 kept closed
due to AGDU breakdown.
v EOA: Delay in
commencement of production from one deep water well planned in Eastern
offshore. Restricted withdrawal by GAIL in view of pipeline safety issues.
v Ahmedabad: Closure
of wells due to unplanned shut down of GAIL Gas line from Ahmedabad/Kalol to
Ramol. Decline in associated gas production in South Kadi, Limbodara &
Gamij fields.
v Tripura: Less off
take by OTPC due to operational issues
v Rajahmundry: GAIL
Pipelines in Tatipaka-Lanco & Endamaru- Oduru sectors still under repair.
v Cauvery: Less gas
production due to less demand by GAIL.
2.3 OIL’s
natural gas production during September, 2015 was 227.080 MMSCM which is 14.05%
lower than the target for the month and 4.25% higher than the production
achieved in the corresponding month of last year. OIL’s cumulative natural gas
production during April-September, 2015 was 1343.965 MMSCM which is 9.26% lower
than the cumulative target and 1.94% lower than the production during the
corresponding period of last year. Reasons for the shortfall are given below:
v Production affected
due to less gas withdrawal by the potential customers like BVFCL, NTPS, LTPS,
BCPL and RRVUNL.
2.4 Pvt.
/JVs’ natural gas production during September, 2015 was 707.580 MMSCM which is
4.52% higher than the target for the month and 3.06% lower than the production
achieved in the corresponding month of last year. Pvt. /JV’s cumulative natural
gas production during April-September, 2015 was 4266.982 MMSCM which is 0.82%
higher than the cumulative target and 4.30% lower than the production during
the corresponding period of last year. Reasons for the shortfall are given
below:
v RIL (KG-D6):
Underperformance of MA wells.
v JV of BG, RIL &
ONGC (M&S Tapti): Under performance of recently drilled 6 wells. Operator
proposed for field abandonment.
v GSPC
(KG-OSN-2001/3): Less than expected trial gas production from 3 wells.
v CBM: Extended
dewatering in Raniganj South (GEECL), Delayed forest clearance in Raniganj East
(Essar)
3. Refinery Production (in terms of Crude oil processed):
