Reliance Industries has become the largest natural gas producer in the country with its over 50 million standard cubic meters per day (mscmd).
This is the first time it has surpassed ONGC’s 49.6 mscmd output.
Reliance Group gas production from its D6 fields in the Krishna Godavari basin has reached to 50.15 mscmd according to the regular output report Reliance sent to the oil ministry.
India’s gas output also exceeded 100 mmcmd with the contribution from KG D6. The world’s second most populous nation also draws 16 mmcmd from BG India’s Panna/Mukta and Tapti fields.
The ministry official said 22.84 mmscmd of D6 gas is sold to power companies, 15.19 mscmd to fertiliser units and 5.05 mmscmd to steel manufacturers. Refineries, including those of RIL, recently named as additional customers, are drawing about 5 mmscmd.
KG D6 is expected to increase its gas flow to 60 mmcmd by end of December and 65 mmcmd in January.
The project will reach highest peak production of 80 mmcmd in the second half of 2010.
