Reliance to supply 40% of India's gas, oil!

September 22, 2008

Highlights of initial production of hydrocarbons at KG-D6:

  • The field produces sweet crude of 42O API which can be processed by any refinery in the country.
  • From the time of its discovery, RIL has started production of oil in KG-D6 in just over two years making it one of the fastest green-field deep water oil development projects in the world.
  • This production has been achieved against challenges like difficult ocean conditions, lack of adequate sub-sea data, low sea bed temperature (5O C), severe supply chain constraints and shortage of technical manpower. The KG-D6 Block is located in the Bay of Bengal at a water depth of 8000 ft. and 50 Kms from the nearest coast of Kakinada in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
