KG-D6 row: Niko tells SC ONGC didn’t develop fields, rejects gas theft claim

Mumbai: In the ongoing KG-Basin gas migration dispute, Canada’s Niko Resources has told the Supreme Court that state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (ONGC) did not adequately develop its adjacent gas fields and is wrongly alleging “theft” of gas from the block operated by the Reliance-led consortium.

The case is part of a long-running legal battle over alleged gas migration in the KG-D6 basin, which was operated by a consortium led by Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL).
