	C. REASONS FOR SHORTFALL
	Company / State											Reasons for shortfall
	ONGC (offshore)											Less production from few wells of NBP field / ESP reinstallation in three wells in Mumbai High. Out of three wells requiring workover, one well put on production and rig -deployment planned in remaining two wells in Nov/Dec 2014. Restricted production in Heera-Neelam due to clamping of sub-sea lines
	ONGC (Gujarat)											More than envisaged decline of base potential in Kalol, Ahmedabad & Limbodara fields and closure of wells due to less off-take by M/s. GAIL affected production. Natural decline in brown fields, increasing water cut & more than envisaged decline in Gandhar and Nada fields affected production.
	ONGC (Assam)											Natural decline in brown fields & frequent power failure affected production.
	ONGC (Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu)											Closure of wells due GAIL pipeline incident affected the production.
	OIL (Assam & Arunachal Pradesh)											Less production due to consequential effects of Bhands & Blockades. Un-expected rise in water oil ratio/ gas oil ratio in few high productive wells  ( Bazaloni-3, BRK-8, MRN-37, BGN-14). Less contribution from drilling due to  non-availability of drilling Rigs: (a)One rig package has to be transferred from Assam to Mizoram for time bound NELP drilling. (b) Non-mobilisation of Drilling Rig by the contractor despite issue of LOA in advance and repeated follow up.
	Pvt/JVCs  (Arunachal Pradesh)											Due to repeated sand ingress in existing wells.
	Pvt/JVCs  (Gujarat)											Well ceased due to high water cut and SRP failure in two wells.
	Pvt/JVCs  (Off-shore)											MA-6H Well underperforming, MA field was shutdown due to cyclone from 11-13 Oct 2014. 4 Wells in MA field are closed due to water loading in Eastern Off-shore.

	C.     REASONS FOR SHORTFALL
	Company / State													Reasons for shortfall
	ONGC (Rajasthan)													Less offtake by consumers.
	ONGC (Andhra Pradesh & Tamil Nadu)													Closure of wells due GAIL pipeline incident affected the production.
	ONGC (Tripura)													Less offtake by consumers.
	ONGC (Offshore)													Closure of wells (G1-10 & G1-11) as M/s GAIL stopped taking gas due to pipeline issues at their end. Production  resumed from one well from 31-Oct-14 in Eastern Off-shore. Less than envisaged production from Bassein field
	OIL (Assam & Arunachal Pradesh)													Low gas withdrawal by gas customers. Due to pending commissioning of Gas Cracker plant by BCPL withdrawal is only @ avg. 0.02 MMSCMD against planned withdrawal rate of 0.535 MMSCMD (shortfall 16.5 MMSCM)
	OIL ( Rajasthan)													RRVUNL :  frequent shutdown, operating at low efficiency due to grid problem.
	Pvt/JVCs  (West Bengal)													Delayed forest clearance received and Prolonged dewatering in new wells.
	Pvt/JVCs  (Madhya Pradesh & Jharkhand)													Incidental CBM gas being produced in small quantities
	Pvt/JVCs  (Off-shore)													Natural Decline of the RAVVA field. Non-associated gas wells are closed from 3-7-2014 after GAIL pipeline accident near Tatipaka and partial off take had begun wef 19.10.2014 by GAIL. 4 wells of MA and 10 wells of D1 D3 fields are closed due to high water cut and sand ingress. Less production due to well integrity issues & water loading of well in Western off-shore.

	III.  A. REFINERY CRUDE THROUGHPUT
	(IN TERMS OF CRUDE OIL PROCESSED)
	Month / Period		Planned Target (TMT)									Actual Production (TMT)												%age achievement							Surplus(+) Shortfall(-) Vis-à-vis target             (in %age)								Surplus(+) Shortfall(-) over last year          (in %age)
	October, 2014*		18629.731									19115.370												102.6							2.6								4.2
	April,2014-October, 2014*		130204.702									127798.043												98.2							-1.8								-1.7
	April,2013-October, 2013											129996.224
	*: Provisional.
	Note:
	The crude throughput in IOC (Gujarat & Bongaigaon ), BPCL (Kochi), HPCL(Mumbai & Visakh), NRL, (Numaligarh),  HMEL (GGSR), BORL (Bina), EOL (Vadinar) and RIL (Jamnagar DTA )  refineries have exceeded their planned target. Crude throughput in BORL (Bina) and IOCL (Gujarat) is higher than the planned production due to deferment of planned shutdown.
	The crude throughput in  IOC (Guwahati, Barauni, Haldia, Panipat, Digboi & Mathura),  BPCL (Mumbai), CPCL (Manali & CBR), MRPL (Mangalore), ONGC (Tatipaka) and RIL (SEZ) refineries was less than their planned target.
	Company / State				Reasons for shortfall
	IOCL, Panipat				Marginally lower crude throughput in line with HSD demand.
	IOCL,Guwahati				Throughput is in  line with Assam crude receipt.
	IOCL,Barauni				Throughput is restricted due to low demand of HSD.
	IOCL, Haldia				Marginally shortfall due to low demand of  HSD.
	IOCL, Mathura				Throughput is in  line with black oil demand.
	BPCL, Mumbai				DHDS unit was shutdown for 20 days in the month of Oct`2014 for RGC motor repair job. This has resulted in build-up of HS HSD intermediate stock. Increase in intermediate stock. Increase in HS HSD stock has resulted in reduction of crude throughput.
	CPCL , Manali				Crude throughput lower than plan due to CDU II shutdown for Atmospheric column tray modification jobs.
	CPCL , Narimanam				Throughput is lower than planned due to reduced  availability of Crude (KG-D6 not available after April`14)
