Figure-1: Monthly Crude Oil Production

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

1. 1. Crude oil production by ONGC during September, 2019 was 1667.55 TMT which is 5.46% lower than the target and 2.55% lower when compared with September, 2018. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-September, 2019 was 10252.18 TMT which is 2.58% and 3.97% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• ESP issues in wells of NBP field and Ratna R-series.
• Two wells put back on production through rig intervention. Rig deployed at NBP-A well platform and rig mobilization planned for remaining wells post monsoon.
• Increase in water cut in certain wells of Mumbai High, Heera, Neelam & B173A fields
• Sub-sea leakage in some well fluid lines of MH Asset leading to flow restriction.
• Production loss due to power Shut Downs & Electrical faults due to rains/winds/ thunderstorms/ water logging in Western Onshore Assets
• Decline in FTHP (Flowing Tubing Head Pressure) & increase in water-cut in Kesanapalli West field in Rajahmundry

1. 2. Crude oil production by OIL during September, 2019 was 259.48 TMT which is 7.15% lower than monthly target and 5.40% lower when compared with September, 2018. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-September, 2019 was 1614.26 TMT which is 4.77% and 4.24% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Major reasons for lower production is less than planned contribution from workover wells and drilling wells.

 

1. 3. Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs during September, 2019 was 719.48 TMT which is 10.63% lower than the monthly target and 11.43% lower than September, 2018. Cumulative crude oil production by Pvt/JVs during April-September, 2019 was 4505.58 TMT which is 8.57% and 10.74% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

 

• RJ-ON-90/1-MANGLA (CEIL): Failure in 220 kV line from state grid.  Delay in making 45 FM-1/4 infill wells on line. Lag in liquidating the inventory of planned work overs and production optimization jobs. ESP failure in FM-3 well M-357, M-359 and M-387.
• Operational issues in Bhagyam, Aishwarya and ABH fields. (CEIL)
• CB-ONN-2005/9 (Mercator): Oil production from Jyoti-1 is stopped. Well closed for long term pressure build up study and could not be put back in production due to non-grant of EC for development campaign.
