ONGC Starts Gas Sales from Rajasthan Chinnewala Tibba Block

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has commenced natural gas sales from the Discovered Small Field (DSF-II) Block RJ/ONDSF/Chinnewala/2018, marking the successful monetisation of the Chinnewala Tibba field in the Rajasthan Kutch Onland Exploratory Asset (RKOEA). Gas sales officially began on 25 August 2025.

This development highlights ONGC’s commitment to boosting domestic energy production and strengthening India’s energy security under the guidance of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Located in western Rajasthan, close to the Indo-Pakistan border, the Chinnewala Tibba block spans 73 square kilometres and holds significant gas reserves.

ONGC has initiated sales of 100,000 standard cubic metres of gas per day, contributing to the growing energy needs of the region. Gas evacuation to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) at Ramgarh commenced on 25 August through ONGC’s Gamnewala Gas Collection Station.

The achievement was made possible through the close cooperation of ONGC, the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), GAIL, Oil India Limited, and RRVUNL, ensuring seamless integration of supplies into the regional power grid.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by ONGC Director (Strategy and Corporate Affairs) Arunangshu Sarkar, Director (Exploration) Om Prakash Sinha, and other senior dignitaries.

Speakers at the event emphasised that the start of production from Chinnewala Tibba reflects ONGC’s focus on efficient resource monetisation and value creation under the DSF framework, reaffirming its role as a trusted partner of the Government of India in achieving national energy objectives.
