D&M REPORT ON KG D6 BLOCKs RESERVOIR CONTINUITY WITH

ONGC
Mumbai, Oct 16, 2015

Dear Colleague:

This refers to various media reports on the subject.

RIL has scrupulously followed every aspect of the Production Sharing Contract and has
confined its petroleum operations within the KG D6 Block. All wells drilled by RIL were
strictly within the KG D6 block boundaries, as per the Development Plan approved by the
relevant authorities under the PSC.

Migration of oil and gas beyond block boundaries is a natural phenomenon which the
contractor has no means to control. Therefore, any suggestion that RIL has breached any
obligations or violated any provisions of law or of the PSC is incorrect.

As regards migration, hydrocarbon resources belong to the nation and the main objective
of the PSC is for the contractor to expeditiously develop and produce such resources for
the benefit of the nation. The PSC thus provides for the Contractor who has incurred
capital and operating costs to develop this resource, to get compensated for the same
from the revenues generated. Given the circumstances, RIL does not believe that there
is a claim of any nature against RIL.

After submission of the final report by D&M, RIL, while reserving its rights under the PSC
and in law, will continue to fully cooperate with the MOPNG and any actions it takes to
comply with the Hon'ble Delhi High Court's Order.
