Unit-wise production details, with reasons for shortfall, have been given in following sub-sections:
1.1 Crude oil production by ONGC during September, 2016 was 1803.68 TMT which is 1.77% lower than the monthly target and 2.83% less when compared with September, 2015. Cumulative crude oil production during April-September, 2016 was 11028.90 TMT which is 1.32% lower than target for the period and 1.89% lower than the production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production in some fields are as under:
v Less than planned production from matured and marginal fields & increase in water cut in few wells of Heera field.
1.2 Crude oil production by OIL during September, 2016 was 261.84 TMT which is 4.32% lower than monthly target but 0.13% higher than production in September 2015. Cumulative crude oil production during April-September, 2016 was 1604.78 TMT which is 0.87% lower than target for the period and 2.72% lower than the production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
v Less than planned contribution from high producing areas like Greater Hapjan, Greater Chandmari fields & Naharkatiya fields on account of rise in water cut.
v Loss in production of 1236 MT on account of bandhs and miscreant activities/local problems at various locations during the month
1.3 Crude oil production by Pvt. /JVs during September, 2016 was 851.90 TMT which is 4.51% lower than the monthly target and 7.81% lower than September, 2015. Cumulative crude oil production during April-September, 2016 was 5429.96 TMT which is 0.70 % lower than target for the period and 6.21% lower than the production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
v Panna-Mukta: Lower production due to closure of wells in PC, PG (till 23rd Sept’16) & PF (till 16th Sept’16) due to riser integrity issue.
v Less production from RJ-ON-90/1 due to downtime related to wells intervention in Mangala, Bhagyam & Aishwarya; higher than expected water cut from Bhagyam wells & EPS/Packer failure in 2 wells in Aishwarya.
v Natural Decline in Ravva & CB-OS/2
