Reliance gas from KGD6 to touch 60 mnscmd

Reliance Industries will regain its 60 mnscmd of natural gas output level from its KG-D6 fields on the eastern offshore by April. The output has fallen to 50-52 mnscmd in recent times from over 60 mnscmd achieved in 2010 due to reservoir complexities. Currently, natural gas is produced from 18 wells and two more wells have been drilled (but not put on production) and another two are expected to be ready by March. Once all the 22 wells come onstream in April 2011, gas output will again touch 60 mnsmcd. Contact: Reliance Industries Ltd. Tel: 022-2278 5000. Website: www.ril.com
