Out of 7 wells on MA field, 5 wells are on production.
“One well, named MA—6H is under work—over (repair) since January 16, 2014. Another well namely, MA—7H is kept under shut—in,” it said.
Of the 13.28 mmscmd of cumulative production, 12.58 mmscmd was sold to fertiliser plants and the remaining 0.7 mmscmd gas was consumed by the East—West pipeline which transports the fuel from east coast to the west, the report said.
The KG—D6 fields, which began gas production in April 2009, hit a peak output of 69.43 mmscmd in March 2010 before water and sand ingress shut down well after well.
D1&D3, the largest of the 18 gas discoveries in the KG—D6 block, produced 66.35 mmscmd, while 3.07 mmscmd was the output from the MA field, the only oil discovery on the block.
Besides the fall in output from D1&D3, gas production from the MA field, which had hit a peak of 6.78 mmscmd in January 2012, has dropped.
The company has so far made 19 gas and one oil discovery in the Krishna Godavari basin block in the Bay of Bengal.
