The production of domestic natural gas increased 19.2% to 2,898 million standard cubic metre (mscm) in August on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, mainly due to higher production from Reliance Industries and BP’s ultra-deep-water field in the KG-D6 Block of the Krishna Godavari basin on the east coast.
The output had fallen 8.1% y-o-y to 28,670.6 mscm in FY21.
