ONGC plans to double its oil production in the next 5-6 years, Mr Dinesh K Sarraf, Chairman & Managing Director, ONGC said while addressing a gathering during Independence Day celebrations here.

In the past 3 years, despite oil prices tumbling to record lows, we have not only sustained production from our existing fields through incremental inputs but also taken large meaningful and calculated investment decisions to ensure sustained volumes and financial growth.

“Share of gas in India’s energy basket is set to increase from 6.5% to 15%. Government is focused on making our economy gas based”, he said.

Talking about ONGC’s plans, Mr Sarraf said that many of ONGC’s new projects are gas based. “We have flagged off 17 production related projects with a CAPEX of Rs. 76,000 Crore in the last three years. These projects would produce 69 MMT of crude oil and 118 BCM of Natural Gas during their profile period. Cumulative production from these projects would peak during 2020-21 at 6.65 MMT of crude and 13.38 BCM of gas which is 45% of our oil and gas standalone production during FY’17”, he said.

ONGC’s flagship project – development of Cluster-2 of KG-DWN-98/2, continues to be on stream; all activities are going on at fast pace, Mr Sarraf said. The project would produce about 25 MMT of oil and 50 BCM of gas with peak production of 4 MMT of oil and 5.5 BCM of gas. This would be equivalent to 17% and 24% of current standalone oil and gas production respectively– from a single project.
