Reliance pumping out over 50 mmscmd gas from KG Basin: Government

Reliance Industries (RIL) is currently producing over 50 million standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd) of natural gas from the KG Basin D-6 fields, the government said.

"The current gas production from the D-1 and D-3 gas fields is about 48 mmscmd and from MA (oil) field is about 2.3 mmscmd in the KG-D-6 Block," Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Jitin Prasada told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.

The gas produced from the KG-D6 Block is being allocated and sold as per the directives of the Empowered Group of Ministers, he said, adding the peak gas production of about 80 mmscmd from the field is likely to be achieved by the middle of next year.

"The government has not, till date, fixed or approved the quantum of marketing margins for sale of natural gas by any contractor," he said, adding "the issue is discussed and decided between the seller and the buyer, as a part of the settlement of the terms and conditions of the gas sales and purchase agreement (GSPA)."
