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

1. 1. Crude oil production by ONGC in nomination block during July, 2020 was 1738.56 TMT which is 3.24%lower than target but 0.42%higher when compared with July 2019. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-July, 2020 was 6806.96 TMT which is 2.42%and 0.89% lower than target for the period andproduction during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• Production planned from WO16 cluster from June’20 could not be realized due to delay in MOPU (SagarSamrat) as activities at GPC yard Abu Dhabi got affected due to Covid restrictions/lockdown
• Production planned from new wells in Ratna field affected due to non- availability of ESPs due to implications of COVID-19.
• Production planned from new wells from Cluster-8 project has been affected due to toppling of D-30-2 platform jacket during installation and further delay in installation of new platforms due to COVID implications

• 2. Crude oil production by OIL in the nomination during July, 2020 was250.61 TMT which is 5.99% lower than the monthly target and 8.48% lower than the July, 2019. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-July, 2020 was 997.0 TMT which is 3.33% and 7.72% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:
• Less than planned contribution from workover and drilling wells.
• Less than planned contribution from Old well due to rise in water cut in wells & decline in total liquid production of wells.
• Loss of oil production due to bandh/blockade by local people /union /association after the blow out at BGN#5 and nearby areas.

1. 3.

• RJ-ON-90/1 (Rajasthan Block): (1) Mangala - Near term impact of pre-production and optimization jobs including zone conversions. (2) Bhagyam – Higher PCP & electrical failures, delayed start-up full field polymer injection and additional downtime due to OHL/Grid failure (3) Aishwarya – Delayed startup of polymer injection in full field, lower UF VRR and additional downtime due to ESP failure in 3 producer wells. (4) ABH - Delay in hookup of ABH Stage-2 wells. (5) Saraswati - Sara1 is shut-in (SRP stopped) due to no liquid flow observed. (CEIL)
• CY-ONN-2002/2: Well MDDD was planned to put on production in June 2020, however, it could not be taken up due to local agitation. (ONGC) 
• CB-ONN-2000/1: (1) Well PK#2 is not producing due to casing collapse and soil breakthrough in the well. (2) Well SE_DEV#1, SE#1A and SE1#A1 is shut-in due to unavailability of effective demulsifier to break tight water and oil emulsion. (3) Minor shortfall in production in SRP operated well (PK2#A1, PK2#A2 & PL#1) due to power failure by UGVCL (power distributer). (GSPC)
• KG-ONN-2003/1: Delay in completion of new infill wells on account of pending FDP submission and decline in production from 02 wells. (ONGC)
