Gas – ONGC (BCM)	5.385	5.862	-8.1%	22.096	23.853	-7.4%
Gas – JVs (BCM)	0.199	0.178	11.8%	0.720	1.042	-30.9%

Despite country wide lock-down due to COVID-19 pandemic, ONGC has almost reached last year’s production levels in case of Crude oil from its operated blocks. The shortfall in Natural Gas production is primarily due to less offtake by customers due to COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted in production shortfall of Condensate and Value Added Products (VAP) as well. 

4. Exploration Performance:

ONGC has declared total 10 discoveries (3 in onland, 7 in offshore) during FY 2020-21 in its operated acreages. Out of these, 6 are prospects (1 in onland, 5 in offshore) and 4 are pools (2 in onland, 2 in offshore). With the monetization of Ashoknagar-1 discovery, the Bengal basin became the eighth sedimentary basin of India from which hydrocarbon has commercially been produced. This has resulted in up-gradation of Bengal basin to Category-I basin as per the new three tier category -classification of sedimentary basins of India.

(a) The details of latest two prospect discoveries notified since the last press release in this regard on 13^th February 2021 are as under:

• Exploratory well GK-28-14 was drilled in GK-28 Nomination Block in Kutch Offshore. On testing, flowed Gas @ 80,206 m³/d, Condensate @ 06 BPD

(API- 53.10°) from Late Jurassic, Jhuran formation. The discovery in GK-28-14 will aid in both exploratory stepping out and improving monetization economics.

• Exploratory well WO-5-13 was drilled in BOFF PML (7 Year) block in Mumbai Offshore Basin. On testing, flowed oil and gas from two intervals in Lower Bassein Formation viz. (i) Oil @ 1019 bbl/day and gas @ 1,18,598 m³/day and (ii) Oil @ 806 bbl/day and gas @ 2, 06, 258 m³/day. This lead has established new hydrocarbon find towards south of main Mumbai High Field and opened up area for further exploration.
