ONGC's KG basin struggles to deliver on deepwater production promise
Oil output from ONGC's flagship KG-DWN-98/2 block in the Krishna-Godavari basin has slipped to about 20,000 barrels per day (bpd). The peak target was 45,000 bpd. Complex reservoir geology makes steady production hard, and ONGC is trying to arrest the decline. For anyone tracking India's domestic oil supply, this means slower growth ahead. Keep an eye on the company's updates.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Oil output from ONGC's flagship KG-DWN-98/2 block has fallen to around 20,000 barrels per day.
- The block's peak production target was 45,000 barrels per day.
- Complex reservoir geology is making it hard to sustain production there.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you track energy companies or plan around domestic oil supply, follow ONGC's own official updates on KG-DWN-98/2 output before you take any investment or supply-planning decision.
