Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Reliance Industries Ltd. announced an offshore India gas and condensate discovery at #55-D in the KG-D6 Block, Bay of Bengal. A formation evaluation indicates a gross gas and condensate column of about 155 meters in Mesozoic reservoirs. The well was drilled to 4,509 meters in 1,024 meters of water. During a drillstem test, the well flowed 30.6 million cu. ft. of gas per day with a liquid rate of 2,121 bbl. per day. Flowrates were constrained by rig and well test equipment configurations. An appraisal well is planned to define the field's scale and hydrocarbon quality. Reliance is operator of the KGD6 Block and the discovery well with 60% interest. BP holds 30%, and Niko has the remaining 10%.
