Reliance Industries shuts down D1/D3 gas field in KG-D6 block
MUMBAI : More than a decade after being put to production, Reliance Industries shuttered its D1/D3 gas field in the KG-D6 block on Monday as the field ceased to produce, the company said.
Touted as India’s first deep-water gas field located in the Bay of Bengal, D1/D3 was put to production in April 2009.
Production started declining from April 2010 after hitting a peak of 61.43 millionmetric standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd) in March 2010. RIL had an estimated 10 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, but due to the reservoir’s complexity and sand and water ingress, production declined. Last quarter, the field produced an average of just 1.5 mmscmd.
