DGH Sent An Investigative Mission To KG D-6 Wells

Alarmed by the decline of production in the area of ​​India's largest gas, oil regulator GH has sent an investigative mission to Reliance Industries operates KG-D6 fields to determine the causes of decline production.

team of three members, Gautam Sinha, Director of Manufacturing Director of Hydrocarbons (DGH) will consider a very wise production and reservoir performance of KG-D6 fields April 27 and 28 Sources said that the development of the party.

The agency has signed in 2006 won the government to invest U.S. $ 8.836 billion Dhirubhai-1 and 3 (D1 and D3 fields) in the offshore KG-D6 block this after securing the production of 61.88 million cubic meters 22 days gas wells in April 2011 and 80 MMSCMD of 31 wells in 2012.

But the situation on the ground was significantly different only with confidence to produce about 42 MMSCMD of 18 wells drilled to date on the extent of D1 and D3 in the block KG-D6. Another MMSCMD 8 is produced by MA oilfield in the same block, the total production of about 50 MMSCMD committed against 69.88 MMSCMD, sources said.

The unit said production fell after touching msmcmd 61.5 reached in March last year due to the reduced pressure in wells and drilling more wells will not solve the problem because it will use the same resource.

Sources said the team would reach Vizag GH today where he will go to Gadimoga, landing KG-D6 gas to establish the facts. The team evaluated each of the wells in production is compared with the previously expected production.

Including ramp-up of the history of each well and the maximum sustainable yield from each well was estimated in relation to the well capacity and the possible causes of the current as well as less production per well should be studied.
DGH team will also assess the possibility of increasing the production of existing wells, in addition to space and opportunity for the two new drilled wells that are still connected to the system of production. geological fields D1 and D3, referring to high performance should be investigated. SK.Srivastava, Director General of DGH, said last week that the dependence of the reasons not to drill 22 wells involved in the D1 and D3 fields were far from convincing.

DGH has convened a meeting of the Management Committee of the KG-D6 block, which includes representatives from the Ministry of Petroleum and Reliance, and its Canadian partner Niko Resources, to evaluate the error. The trust regulator wants to drill 11 wells this year, including two wells that were drilled last year.
