Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) commenced production of gas from the Dhirubhai 1 and 3 discoveries of the KG-D6 block in the Krishna Godavari Basin, located off the East Coast of India, in the Bay of Bengal. The gas from offshore is being received at its world class onshore facility at Gadimoga, a small village in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh and delivered to the East West Pipeline of Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Ltd. (RGTIL).
At peak production of oil & gas, the KG-D6 facility is expected to produce over 550,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Production from the Dhirubhai 1 and 3 discoveries of the KG-D6 block will result in a quantum leap towards achieving India's energy security. KG-D6 gas would also substantially reduce wealth transfer from India to other nations due to energy imports and bring down subsidy levels in the fertilizer, transportation and other sectors
RIL has started gas production in six and a half years from discovery, in comparison to the world average of 9-10 years for similar deepwater production facilities.
The initial production of gas from the Dhirubhai 1 and 3 discoveries of the KG-D6 block will be sold to existing gas starved Fertilizer and Power companies resulting in substantial reduction in subsidy burden of the Government.
The KG-D6 block (KG-DWN-98/3) in Krishna Godavari basin was awarded to RIL and Niko consortium under NELP-I. RIL holds 90% Participating Interest (PI) and Niko Resources Limited holds 10% PI in the block.
