Figure-1: Monthly Crude Oil Production

Unit-wise production details with reasons for shortfall are as under:

 

• 1. Crude oil production by ONGC during December, 2017 was 1862.08 TMT which is 6.40% lower than the monthly target and 2.23% lower when compared with December, 2016. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-December, 2017 was 16848.70 TMT which is 2.78% lower than target for the period but 1.32% higher than production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production with respect to target are as under:
• Delay in implementation of ‘Conversion of Sagar Samrat to MOPU’ & ‘Integrated Development of B 127 Cluster’
• Production from NBP field in western offshore affected due to ESP related issues.
• Increase in water cut in wells of Heera, Neelam and B-173 fields.
• Frequent power shut down hampered artificial lift operations and caused unexpected well closure in Mehsana.

 

1. 2. Crude oil production by OIL during December, 2017 was 288.38 TMT which is 9.07% lower than monthly target but 2.78% higher than production in December, 2016. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-December, 2017 was 2548.42 TMT which is 9.41% lower than target for the period but 4.85% higher than production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

 

• Less than planned contribution from old wells – Rise in water cut in wells and decline in total liquid production of wells of Greater Hapjan and Greater Chandmari Fields.
• Less than planned contribution from work over wells

 

1. 3. Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs during December, 2017 was 840.61 TMT which is 6.9% lower than the monthly target and 3.37% lower than December, 2016.

Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

 

• RJ-ON-90/1 (CIL): Around 90 wells are closed either due to high water cut or require WOJ. Underperformance of reservoir in Bhagyam. Production affected in Dec’17 from Guda and Kaameshwari West due to non-availability of tankers.
• Panna-Mukta (Shell): Lower production due to closure of re-perforation wells and loading of well PC-14H.
• CY-ONN-2002/2 (ONGC): Full fledged production yet to be realized owing to non-grant of PML.

Figure 3: Monthly Refinery Production

               

1. 1. CPSE Refineries’ production during December, 2017 was 12793.63 TMT which is 2.96% higher than the target for the month and 5.75% higher than the production achieved in the corresponding month of last year. Cumulative production by CPSE refineries during April-December, 2017 was 108059.43 TMT which is 4.72% higher than the target for the period and 5.16% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year. Reasons for shortfall of refinery production in some CPSE refineries are as under:

 

•  IOCL, Barauni: Throughput lower than previous year due to M&I shutdown in Jul-Aug 2017 and HSD / naphtha containment.
• IOCL, Haldia: Throughput lower due to M&I shutdown and VGO containment.
• IOCL, Mathura: Throughput lower due to M&I shutdown.
• IOCL, Paradip: Throughput lower due to VGO containment.
• BPCL, Mumbai: Crude processing for Apr-Dec’17 is lower than Apr- Dec'16 due to planned outage of CDU3/ Hydrogen /Hydrocracker units for turnaround & revamp and annual turnaround of FCC/CCR and DHDS.
• HPCL, Visakh: Throughput lower due to CDU deferred shutdown taken for T&I in Nov-Dec, 2017 planned in vis -a-vis July-Aug 2017.
• CPCL CBR: Throughput lower due to product upliftment constraints.
