ONGC to drill seven development wells in Bengal

15 Dec 2022 CW Team

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.
