ONGC to drill seven development wells in Bengal

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation intends to drill seven development wells in the state, laying the groundwork for the long-awaited commercial exploitation of hydrocarbon deposits in the Bengal basin.

In the coming months, the ONGC board will be presented with a proposal to drill wells in and around Ashoknagar in North 24-Parganas, the epicentre of the PSU's exploration activities in Bengal. If the field development plan is approved, it will be submitted for final approval to the Directorate-General of Hydrocarbons (DGH).

ONGC believes Ashoknagar has the potential to produce 45,000-50,000 cubic metres of natural gas per day. It would require approximately two years to drill the development wells, which will generate a mix of oil and natural gas. The wells will be located within a two-kilometer radius.
