Description
Oil and Natural Gas Corp. has reported two offshore gas discoveries in the Arabian Sea. The #1-GKS091NFA was drilled in Block GK-OSN-2009/1 in the Kutch Offshore region. According to the Mumbai-based company, the result suggests the play could extend across a large area. Another well in the Western Offshore Basin, #2-B-203, flowed 783 bbl of oil and 2.775 MMcf per day of gas from an interval within an early Oligocene Mukta Sandstone. A limestone interval in the Heera Formation also flowed oil and gas. The discovery confirmed a westward extension of the WO-4 plays in the down-dip direction.
