ONGC proves gas in Pukhraj prospect offshore India

Offshore staff

NEW DELHI, India – ONGC has discovered gas with an exploratory well in the Mid-South Tapti license in the Mumbai Offshore area offshore western India.

The Pukhraj discovery well ST-6 flowed gas from the Mahuva and Daman formations and was the first well drilled on the license since it was re-issued to the company in July 2021.

It has opened a new prospective area beyond the established limits of the Mid Tapti - South Tapti fields, ONGC added.

In June the company connected the Panna process platform to subsea pipelines close to 70 km offshore in a water depth of about 65 m. The facilities, part of the Bassein & Satellite asset, should cut costs and minimize the production downtime that was previously associated with tanker changeovers, ONGC said.
