(a)ONGC has declared 11discoveries (6 in onland, 5 in offshore) throughout FY 2023-24 in its operated acreages. Out of those, 6 are prospects (1 in onland, 5 in offshore) and 5 are new pool (onland) discoveries.

(b)7hydrocarbon discoveries have been monetized in the course of the FY 2023-24 together with the threediscoveries notified in the course of the fiscal of 2023-24.

(c)The particulars of newest discovery notified for the reason that final press launch on this regard on 10.02.2024 are as beneath:

(Discoveries notified throughout This autumn FY 2023-24)

(i) East Lakhibari-6 (ELDA)in A&AA Basin –The improvement Well East Lakhibari-6 was drilled right down to 2271.86m with a revised goal depth to discover the HC prospectivity of Cretaceous sediments. During testing Object-II (2162.5-2165.5m, Cretaceous) flowed oil @ 23.444 m³/day with feeble gasoline and Object-III (2144-2148m, Cretaceous) flowed oil @ 43.2 m³/day and gasoline @ 500 m³/day. The Hydrocarbon Strike from the Cretaceous Sequences in effectively East Lakhibari-6 in Upper Assam Shelf-South is important milestone as it’s first Hydrocarbon Discovery from the Cretaceous sequences in total Assam Shelf and thereby marking the New Play Opening within the A&AA Basin.

(ii) West Amod-1 (CBONH212A-A) in Cambay Basin –The exploratory effectively West Amod-1 (CB-ONO-AD-A) was drilled in OALP block CB-ONHP-2021/2 to discover HC potential of Hazad Sands GS-1(P) and GS-3B (S). During testing, Object-ll (2914.5-2918m, GS-1 Sand) flowed oil @ 9.23 m³/day and gasoline @ 6533 m³/day. The success within the effectively, established presence of business hydrocarbon within the OALP block and opened up the block space for additional exploration and improvement.

(Discoveries notified throughout Q1 FY 2024-25)

(i) Ranaghat (WBON5-4-NA-H) in Bengal Onland –The exploratory effectively Ranaghat-2 (WBON5_4-NA-H) was drilled in WB-ONN-2005/4 NELP block to discover HC potential of Mio-Pliocene sands. During testing Object-I (2657-2664 m, Pandua Formation/Miocene) flowed gasoline @ 147215 m³/day and condensate @ 8.40 m³/day. The success within the effectively has established hydrocarbon gasoline within the north japanese a part of NELP block and opens up areas for re-evaluation and future exploration.

(ii) Neelmani (MBS191HDA-1) in Mumbai Offshore (SW) –The exploratory effectively MBS191HDA-1 (MBS191HDA-A) was drilled in OALP block MB-OSHP-2019/1 in Mumbai Offshore (SW) to discover HC potential of Pliocene Pay. During preliminary testing Object-IB (909-915m in Chinchini Formation) flowed gasoline @1,70,799 m3/day. Subsequently, Object-IA (925-931m) was added by way of Metrol crossfire expertise. The effectively flowed gasoline @ 1,66,571 m3/day.

(d) Reserve Accretion (Estimated Ultimate Recovery:EUR,2P): FY’24

(e) Reserve Replacement Ratio (RRR) of ONGC-Operated Domestic Areas

Reserve Replacement Ratio (2P) from home fields (excluding JV share) was 1.15. ONGC has achieved Reserve Replacement Ratio (2P) of a couple of for the 18^thconsecutive yr.
