1.2       ONGC’s crude oil production during February, 2016 was 1780.73 TMT which is 3.93% lower than the target for the month and 4.39%higher than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. ONGC’s cumulative production during April, 2015-February, 2016 was 20497.88 TMT which is 1.18% lower than the cumulative target and 0.90% higher than the production during the corresponding period of last year. The shortfall in ONGC’s production was due to following reason:
Ø  Gujarat, Mehsana: Less air injection in Santhal field, increase in water cut and power shut down.
Ø  Gujarat, Ahmedabad: Delayed / less gain from Gamij field. Power shutdown & lift optimization.
Ø  Gujarat, Cambay: Less than envisaged production from Vadatal-1, NELP field due to increase in water cut to around 80%.
Ø  Assam: Low gas injection pressure, power shutdown & closure of wells.
Ø  Tamilnadu, Karaikal: Less than anticipated production from Madanam field & closure of wells due to less / nil off-take by consumers.
Ø  Mumbai High: Delay in commencement of production from B127 cluster. Less production from Cluster-7 & WO-16 cluster.

1.3       OIL’s crude oil production during February, 2016 was 246.21 TMT which is 15.96% lower than the target for the month and 3.61% lower than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. OIL’s cumulative production during April, 2015-February, 2016 was 2957.19 TMT which is 9.81% lower than the cumulative target and 5.31% lower than the production during the corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are given below:
Ø  Rise in water cut in wells in Salmari, Dikom, Greater Chandmari and Greater Hapjan Fields
Ø  Permanent loss at Makum & Hapjan OCS
Ø  Temporary cessation of flow at well Makum No.48
Ø  Loss of production due to Assam bandh.
Ø  Miscreant activities in a number of wells affected gas lift operation leading to crude oil production loss.

1.4       Pvt. /JVs’ crude oil production during February, 2016 was 869.73 TMT which is 2.19% higher than the target for the month and 4.81%lower than production of corresponding month of last year.

Reasons for shortfall in production are given below:
Ø  Cairn: Natural decline in Ravva, Mangala and underperformance of Bhagyam wells in RJ-ON-90/1.
Ø  RIL: Under performance of wells in KG-D6.
Ø  GSPC: Well completion issues in KG-OSN-2001/3.
Ø  M&S Tapti field proposed for abandonment.
Ø  GEOENPRO: Sand ingress in Kharsang.

2.2       ONGC’s natural gas production during February, 2016 was 1730.87MMSCM which is 11.48% lower than the target for the month and 4.45% higher than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. ONGC’s cumulative natural gas production during April, 2015-February, 2016 was 19533.88MMSCM which is 10.46% lower than the cumulative target and3.07% lower than the production during the corresponding period of last year. Reasons for the shortfall are given below:
Ø  Eastern Offshore: Delay in commencement of production from one deep water well (S2AB) planned from June’15 and restricted withdrawal by GAIL.
Ø  Bassein & Satellite: Consequential losses post BPA shutdown as the wells are yet to achieve original potential. Less than expected production from new development/side track wells and decline in Bassein field.
Ø  Mumbai High: Delay in commencement of production from B127 cluster.
Ø  Gujarat:Closure of wells due to unplanned shut down of GAIL Gas line from Ahmedabad/Kalol to Ramol. Decline in associated gas production from Jhalora South Kadi & Gamji fields.
Ø  Andhra Pradesh:Closure of 36 wells as GAIL pipelines in Tatipaka-Lanco & Endamaru-Oduru sections still under repair.
Ø  Tamil-Nadu: Closure of wells due to less off-take by consumers in Ramnad / Kovilkallapal area in Karaikal.
Ø  Assam: Decline in associated gas production in Geleki, Lakwa & Rudrasagar fields.
Ø  Tripura: Less off take by OTPC, Baramura TSECL & NEEPCO Monarchak, etc.

Reasons for the shortfall are given below:
Ø  RIL (KG-D6):Underperformance of wells due to sand ingress and water loading.
Ø  GSPC: Well completion issues in KG-OSN-2001/3
Ø  Other operators: Natural Decline in Gas production of Ravva, Panna-Mukta, PY-1 and Hazira. Operator proposed for M&S Tapti’s field abandonment.Less off-take by GAIL from RJ-ON/6. Delay in start of production in PY-3
