Reliance Industries Ltd, and its partner bp Plc on Friday announced the start of regular production from MJ oil and gas field in the KG-D6 block, helping scale up India’s output of clean fuel to over 100 million cubic meters a day.
MJ is the third and the last set of discoveries in the KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 block, off the east coast that the consortium was working on. All three sets of discoveries, with MJ being the deepest, were made more than a decade back and have been progressively put into production.
Together, the three sets of discoveries at their peak production will make up for 15 per cent of India’s demand, the companies said in a statement on Friday.
