2.2 STATUS OF PEL / ML:

PEL AREAS:

NELP IV BLOCK RJ-ONN-2002/1: As suggested by Director (E&D), a review study was

carried out on relinquished areas of this block. Few leads were identified within the
block during G&G review and it was planned to validate the leads with additional
seismic data before going for drilling . Accordingly, actions were initiated to carry out
API of 600 GLKM of seismic to reconfirm the structural position and size of the leads
and to upgrade to prospects but the same could not be carried out due to reason
already discussed vide OCR dated 18.12.2009. It is worthwhile to mention here that
one well (Nanuwala-1) drilled north of this block produced crude oil (API 30.33)
during testing. The leads identified in the block are in up-dip direction with respect to
Nanuwala-1 and fall in the same migration pathway. It is suggested to acquire 3D
seismic of around 1000 sq.km covering the identified leads. Alternatively 600 GLKM
2D seismic (2x2 KM grid) can be acquired covering identified leads which was
originally planned for the block. Based on the interpretation of suggested seismic data
drilling may be planned in future.

NELP-VI Block RJ-ONN-2004/2: A review study was carried out on relinquished areas of
this block. Earlier, a G&G review was carried out after heavy oil discovery in Punam-1
well, one independent closure at Jodhpur Formation top level was identified in the
south of Punam structure. The said structure is structurally up dip in respect to
Punam structure and part of greater Baghewala-Punam structural high trend. One
location (Loc.C) was proposed in the structural closure, however, location was not
2
 released and the structure could not be probed by exploratory drilling mainly due to
time limitation to fulfill the MWP work and subsequently the area had to be
relinquished (mandatory). As per G&G review to probe hydrocarbon prospects in the
independent structural closure south of Punam structure by drilling an exploratory
well, the same work program of drilling one exploratory well in the block is mooted
again. A request of retaining of about 10.2SQ.KM area covering the discovery area of
Block RJ-ONN-2004/2 for appraisal and Declaration of Commerciality (DOC) has been
submitted to DG, DGH. However, DG, DGH in the meeting regarding “Monitoring of
Nomination Blocks” indicated that OIL can avail the benefits of proposed OALP for
further exploration and production activity in the block.

PI Transfer:
The process of 25% PI transfer to OIL , the matter is still under arbitration process.
Next arbitration of hearing is expected in the month of May/June 2017. Received
communication from DGH to extend the validity of BG till 30.09.2017 with claim
period upto 30.11.2017.

NELP-VI Block RJ-ONN-2004/3:

Block relinquished w.e.f. 21.01.2012. Payment of Rs. 13,60,43,435/- has been made
towards differential cost of un-finished MWP of the Block.

NELP-VII Block RJ-ONN-2005/2:

2nd Extension of Phase-I:

DGH made a communication in connection with our proposal to relinquish the entire
Block. DGH has asked to submit the cost of unfinished MWP as per article 5.6 of PSC
immediately as well as original and copy of data to DGH. Bank Guarantees was
extended by one year for completion of Minimum work Programme in the Block.

As suggested by Director (E&D), a review study was carried out on relinquished areas
of this block. Out of the eleven prospects identified in-house as well as by consultancy
services, two prospects are at much deeper depth than MWP well depths. Moreover,
these new prospect horizons were not visible by old seismic data. Out of these eleven
locations five locations were released by competent authority and out of these two
locations have been drilled by the consortium. The deeper new prospect identified
based on the last 3D seismic survey could not be probed by exploratory drilling as JV
partners did not agree due to higher financial involvement for deeper target depth in
comparison to MWP well Target and additional payment of 30% LD for the third
extension requiring to complete the drilling of the well . There were also some
concern about the reservoir type due to virgin nature of these prospects . However,
subsequent G&G review indicates possible presence of carbonate reservoir at this
depth.

5.0 PRODUCTION

5.1.0 Introduction

Year 2016-2017 had been a better year for Team Production (RP) from the point of
view of sale of natural gas produced from Dandewala(DND) and Bagitibba gas fields
as well as the progress made towards heavy oil exploitation in comparison to
previous year. Against the revised targets (RE) of 211.00 MMSCUM and 209.00
MMSCUM of gas production and sales respectively, the achievements were
232.019MMSCUM(109.96%) and 227.071MMSCUM(108.65%) respectively.

5.2.0 Targets & achievements (NATURAL GAS):

5.2.1 Details of Annual Targets & Achievement for the year 2016-2017 of
Production Department are given below:

Target Achievement % of achievement

(RE)
Gas Production 211 232.019 109.96
(MMSCUM)
Gas Sale 209 227.071 108.65
(MMSCUM)

Frequent problems at RRVUNL’s turbines were reported during the year for
which gas supply had to be either curtailed or stopped completely making it not
possible to meet the budgeted target (BE) production of 240 MMSCUM though
production capability was in hand.

5.2.2 A total quantum of 219.410 Kls of condensate was produced (+70 kls
carried over from previous year) and 240.00 Kls were sold to the customer
during the year and another 32.00 kls was utilized at Baghewala– 5 &
Bikampur#1 for chemical stimulation.

5.3.0 Gas production and sales, operation and maintenance of Production

Installation, gas wells:

Gas production and supply targets were planned as per the MOU with GAIL that the
customer would lift gas @ 0.7 MMSCUMD during the year. However, due to various
problems of the turbines of end user M/S. RRVUNL, gas production rate had to be
curtailed as per actual gas off-take by the customer. A total of 5740 hours of turbine
shut- down occurred during the year. As a result the production & supply of NG were

7
marginally below the annual targets (BE). However , the average daily production was
@ 0.64 MMSCUMD against that of @ 0.56 MMSCUMD in the previous year (2015-16) .

5.3.1 Wells on production during the year 2106-17:

Dandewala Field : 19 Nos.
Bagitibba Field : 2 No.

CTU/NPU Deployment: A well activation contract was awarded to M/s. SES

Energy Services India Pvt Ltd, Mumbai to hire well activation and well testing
services on call out basis for 2 years period w.e.f. 18.02.2015 to 17.02.2017, which
was further extended by three months. The CTU/NPU was deployed in all
workover wells completed with permanent packer (DND#4, DND#6, DND#9,
DND#11, DND#14, DND#19, DND#24, DND#25, DND#26, DND#27, DND#28 &
BGT#1) . Loc RBAS(Well Bikampur–1) in Baghewala PML was also activated using
the hired CTU/NPU unit from the contractor.
Workover was also carried out at BGW#5 and hired CTU/NPU was deployed to
activate the well.
5.3.2 Operation & Maintenance of DND-GPC:

The present gas handling capacity of the DND-GPC is 1.0 MMSCUMD. The plant
is on continuous operation since 1996. Due to ingress of formation water in
the produced fluid and continued operation of the plant, maintaining the
equipments to its capacity has been a challenging job.

The overall operation and maintenance of the plant was carried out
satisfactorily during the FY 2016-17.

5.3.3 Work-Over Operations:

Increase in water production and build up of annulus pressure in some of the

wells is a matter of serious concern. Few wells are in production through N-80
tubing which is not desirable in CO2 environment. Hence, it was planned to
carry out workover of 19 identified wells during FY 2015-16 & 2016-17.
Three (3) wells (DND#6, DND#11 & BGT#1) ) having water ingress and four
(4) wells (DND#4, DND#9, DND#14, DND#19)having annulus pressure
buildup were undertaken for workover operation. Also five (5) new wells
previously drilled (DND#24, DND#25, DND#26, DND#27, DND#28) were
undertaken for workover for production testing. In total, workover was carried out
successfully in twelve (12) nos of gas wells of Jaisalmer PML of Rajasthan and one
(1) heavy oil well (BGW#5) of Baghewala during the year.

5.3.4 Drilling and Field Development:

8
 It was proposed to drill five wells in Dandewala field to sustain the gas
production potential from the Jaisalmer Basin. Two development wells
namely, DND#24(Loc.RJBH) & DND#25 (Loc. RJBJ) were completed
successfully in 2015-16. The production testing of these wells was carried out
with workover outfit in the year 2016-17. Drilling of DND#26(Loc. RJBI) was
completed in 2016-17 along with DND#27 & DND#28. Production testing for
these wells was also carried out during this period. Moreover a water disposal
well(WDW) was also drilled during this period for disposal of effluent water.

The contract for laying SS flow lines for these wells is already in place and job
is under progress. Already work is completed for BGT#1 and the well is
flowing through the new layed line .

5.3.5 Production & Disposal of Formation Water:

Total quantity of Formation Water Produced: 35253.39 Kls.

Total quantity of Formation Water stored in evaporation pit: 35253.39 Kls.
The produced formation water is stored in a concrete evaporation Pit near
adjacent to the plant.

5.4.0 Heavy Oil Production/Exploitation :

5.4.1 New well completion:

In the year 2016-17, drilling of one well Loc RBAS (Bikampur-1) was
completed and production testing is presently under progress.

5.4.2 Exploitation of heavy oil from BGW # 1, BGW#4 & BGW#5

At BGW#4, a surface unit of SRP was installed (shifted from Punam#1) for
artificial lift and experimental production started in the month of November,
2016 after installation of a reducer gear box.

After workover operation at BGW#1 in the year 2015-16, the well was bought
into production with the help of artificial lift (SRP). The surface unit was
received from field Headquaters, Duliajan and installed in the month of
December, 2016 and experimental production was started after installation of
a reducer gear box.
Workover operation was carried out at BGW#5 in January, 2017 and a hired
unit of SRP was installed to bring the the well into production. Experimental
production from the well started since the month of February, 2017. The
details of the production of heavy oil from the wells are as under :

9
 WELL NO PRODUCTION (BBLS) PRODUCTION (Kls)
BGW#1 672.00 112.0
BGW#4 1097.3 183.0
BGW#5 36 6.0

Out of the total production, we have dispatched 249.2 bbls of heavy oil to M/s
ONGCL, Mehsana through hired bowser services.

5.4.3 Exploitation of Heavy oil from Baghewala Field:

Based on the results of the experimentation, it was decided to drill one no of
vertical well and one no of horizontal well as pilot wells at Baghewala field. As
a part of the project it was decided to hire consultancy services having
adequate knowledge and past experience in the field of Heavy Oil production.
Accordingly, a contract was awarded to M/s. Belgrave Oil and Gas Corporation
(BOGC) from Canada. A final report was submitted by the consultant and the
same is under review at present.
A timeline has been prepared for the pilot project and accordingly various
services and material procurement have been either initiated or completed.
We intend to use Progressive Cavity Pump & Electric Down Hole Heater in the

6.2.0 NELP IV BLOCK RJ-ONN-2002/1: As suggested by Director (E&D), a review study

was carried out on relinquished areas of this block. Few leads were identified within
the block during G&G review and it was planned to validate the leads with additional
seismic data before going for drilling . Accordingly, actions were initiated to carry out
API of 600 GLKM of seismic to reconfirm the structural position and size of the leads
and to upgrade to prospects but the same could not be carried out due to reason
already discussed vide OCR dated 18.12.2009. It is worthwhile to mention here that
one well (Nanuwala-1) drilled north of this block produced crude oil (API 30.33)
during testing. The leads identified in the block are in up-dip direction with respect to
Nanuwala-1 and fall in the same migration pathway. It is suggested to acquire 3D
seismic of around 1000 sq.km covering the identified leads. Alternatively 600 GLKM
2D seismic (2x2 KM grid) can be acquired covering identified leads which was
originally planned for the block. Based on the interpretation of suggested seismic data
drilling may be planned in future.

6.3.0 NELP-VI Block RJ-ONN-2004/2: A review study was carried out on relinquished
areas of this block. Earlier, a G&G review was carried out after heavy oil discovery in
Punam-1 well, one independent closure at Jodhpur Formation top level was identified
in the south of Punam structure. The said structure is structurally up dip in respect to
Punam structure and part of greater Baghewala-Punam structural high trend. One
location (Loc.C) was proposed in the structural closure, however, location was not
released and the structure could not be probed by exploratory drilling mainly due to
time limitation to fulfill the MWP work and subsequently the area had to be
relinquished (mandatory). As per G&G review to probe hydrocarbon prospects in the
independent structural closure south of Punam structure by drilling an exploratory
well, the same work program of drilling one exploratory well in the block is mooted
again. A request of retaining of about 10.2SQ.KM area covering the discovery area of
Block RJ-ONN-2004/2 for appraisal and Declaration of Commerciality (DOC) has been
submitted to DG, DGH. However, DG, DGH in the meeting regarding “Monitoring of
Nomination Blocks” indicated that OIL can avail the benefits of proposed OALP for
further exploration and production activity in the block.

PI Transfer:
The process of 25% PI transfer to OIL , the matter is still under arbitration process.
Next arbitration of hearing is expected in the month of May/June 2017. Received
communication from DGH to extend the validity of BG till 30.09.2017 with claim
period upto 30.11.2017.

6.4.0 NELP-VI Block RJ-ONN-2004/3:

Block relinquished w.e.f. 21.01.2012. Payment of Rs. 13,60,43,435/- has been made towards
differential cost of un-finished MWP of the Block.

6.5.0 NELP-VII Block RJ-ONN-2005/2:

2nd Extension of Phase-I:

DGH made a communication in connection with our proposal to relinquish the entire
Block. DGH has asked to submit the cost of unfinished MWP as per article 5.6 of PSC
immediately as well as original and copy of data to DGH. Bank Guarantees was
extended by one year for completion of Minimum work Programme in the Block.

As suggested by Director (E&D), a review study was carried out on relinquished areas
of this block. Out of the eleven prospects identified in-house as well as by consultancy
services, two prospects are at much deeper depth than MWP well depths. Moreover,
these new prospect horizons were not visible by old seismic data. Out of these eleven
locations five locations were released by competent authority and out of these two
locations have been drilled by the consortium. The deeper new prospect identified
based on the last 3D seismic survey could not be probed by exploratory drilling as JV
partners did not agree due to higher financial involvement for deeper target depth in
comparison to MWP well Target and additional payment of 30% LD for the third
extension requiring to complete the drilling of the well . There were also some

19
 concern about the reservoir type due to virgin nature of these prospects . However,
subsequent G&G review indicates possible presence of carbonate reservoir at this
depth.

6.15.0 Cost Cutting & Energy Conservation: Completion of drilling well during the financial
year 2016-17 was done successfully. With an idea to achieve cost control it was decided to

22
 carry out production testing in the drilling wells using workover outfit instead of the
drilling rig . Additionally, based on the current p roduction behavior and neighboring well
correlation, we were able to cut down drilling depths instead of drilling down to earlier
planned objective depths in one well which saved us drilling time as well as drilling cost of
the reduced metreage . All possible measures were adopted in the Department to cut down
cost and conserve energy consumption. Electrical appliances were used judiciously only
when required .

7.2.0 Adoption of all state-of-the art technologies, innovations and performance of

excellence with resultant benefits attained there from.
a. The oil string stage drilling of Development well Loc. RJBF (well depth 2865m)
where bottom hole temperature was higher than anticipated (218 degF), was
carried out using 9.9 ppg KCl-polymer mud with proper mud parameters. The
oil string hole was true gauge throughout and and there was no problem
towards lowering oil string casing.
b. Designed and executed oil string cementation (thermal) with M/s Weafri at
Loc: RJBF (BHT: 218 F) successfully, though there was no provision of high
temperature cementing chemicals in the cementing contract.
c. Low density Bentonitic Cement slurry of controlled setting time was highly
successful in controlling mud loss at Loc. RBAS.
d. DND#14, one cement plug was placed in an unconventional way to repair 5 ½”
casing leakages and successfully set WF spool.
e. Incorporation of Sodium Format solution in Work Over wells as Packer fluid
which itself is a Corrosion Inhibitor and also environment friendly. It is likely
to resist Casing damage (Production Casing) by preventing Corrosion
especially for Gas Wells.
7.3.0 All outstanding achievements and records made, breakthroughs achieved and
milestone crossed.
25
 A notable breakthrough was achieved during drilling of Loc. RBAS, where severe loss
circulation was encountered and well progress was very low for hole instability combined
with hole cleaning. A unique High Concentration Unswelled Bentonite (HCUB) pill was
developed and found to be highly successful in addressing hole instability and loss
circulation problem and the well could be completed successfully.

7.4.0 Cost saving measures adopted and cost saved in terms of money.
Strict and round-the-clock monitoring had helped in controlling cost in terms of
consumption of drilling fluid chemicals in drilling of the aforesaid wells . Minimized cost on
travel to fields by combining with Drilling/ Geological Personnel .

7.5.0 Energy conservation measures adopted and resultant saving in terms of energy
and money.
All possible measures were adopted in the department to contribute towards energy
consumption. All electrical appliances were used judiciously.

7.6.0 Environmental protection and pollution control measures adopted with

resultant benefits attained there from.
All drilling effluents were stored in HDPE lined effluent pit. No effluent was allowed
to flow out of effluent pits.

9.0 DRILLING DEPARTMENT:

9.1 Target and Achievement (Drilling & Work-over Activities):

Type of Target Achievement Percentage

Well (m) (m) (%)
Exploratory 1250 1278 100.24
Development 8000 8054 100.67
Overall 9250 9332 100.88

 Development wells drilled in the financial year 2016-2017 are Loc: RJBI (DND#26),
Loc: WDW#1, Loc: RJBG (DND#27) and Loc: RJBF (DND#28) in Jaisalmer PML area of
Jaisalmer basin. The development well RJBF was drilled down to 2865 m with
conventional coring in (2555 m – 2575 m ); (2680 m-2698 m);( 2698 m- 2717 m) &
(2738 m – 2750 m) in stages, Also Side Wall Coring was taken in this well from
2780.5 m – 2512 m.
 Exploratory well RBAS (Bikampur #1) drilled in the financial year 2016-2017 in
Baghewala PML area of Bikaner Nagur basin. The well (Loc: RBAS) was spudded on
26.12.2016 and at the end on the F.Y. the well was drilled down to 1278 m. Total mud
loss occurred at 559 mtrs in 12.1/4” section in upper carbonate formation. The loss
could not be arrested even after placing 22 no. LCM pills and 11 no. of cement plugs.
Subsequently lowered 9.5/8” casing at 559 mtrs and cemented. The well was
subsequently drilled to 1278 mtrs with no return to partial return. The innovative
way of putting two bentonitic cement plugs and eight numbers of high concentration
unswelled bentonite LCM pills before each pulling out bit trip helped to achieve the
mud return. 5.1/2” casing was landed at 1269 mtrs and cemented with partial return
(80- 85) % of mud. Subsequent log showed moderate to good cementation against
Bilara and Jodhpur (pay zone) formations The Drilling Rig (John#12) De- hired on
16.03.2017 at 7.00AM.
 Work-over achievement in terms of number of jobs completed was 14 (fourteen) as
against annual target of 13 jobs. Work-over jobs were carried out in the following
locations
DND#14,DND#19,DND#11,DND#9,DND#8,DND#25,DND#24,DND#22,DND#26,DND
#04,BGT#01 & DND#06(live perforation) ,BGW#5 . At the end of the extended
contract period , the Work over Rig GTC-100-03 was de-hired on 05-02-2017.
 In the financial year 2016 - 2017, Rajasthan project have achieved drilling meterage
of 9332 m as against 9250 m of annual target and completed a total of 14 number
work-over jobs as against annual target of 13 jobs with one Drilling Rig and one
Work-over Rig operation in Rajasthan Project . For the last two consecutive years,
our achievement in drilling and work-over front in RP was more than 100% of annual
target . This commendable performance could be achieved because of sincere &
dedicated efforts put forward by all of us involved directly or indirectly in field
operations.

9.2 Reasons for shortfall from Target –

37
 Drilling & work-over targets in RP were achieved by 100.88 %.

9.3 Tendering and Contractual Progress -

LOA of Contract (No. 6208205) for hiring the services of one 1000 HP Mobile Drilling
Rig Package (John#29) against Baghewala PML area of Bikaner Nagur basin has been
issued. The tendering process for hiring Cementing and BHP services; Coring services;
Horizontal drilling and Liner Hanger services are on progress . Procurement process
of L80 casing for two horizontal and two vertical drilling wells is on progress. The
above services are required towards drilling of well with thermal completion in
Baghewala PML area of Bikaner Nagur Basin in Rajasthan.

9.4 Cost Saving Measures -

 Completed five numbers of drilling wells including one Water Disposal Well within the
stipulated time period.
 Faster ILM in case of both drilling & work-over wells than the stipulated time-frame as per
Contract thereby increasing Rig utilization time resulting in overall improvement of
performance.
 Optimum utilization of bit life in order to reduce quantity of drill bit consumption vis-à-vis
number of bit trips in a well.
 Use of integrated small cementing set-up attached to Work-over Rig for cement plug/squeeze
jobs in almost all the work-over wells.

9.5 Energy Conservation Measures -

1. Use of Rig & Mud Pump Engines on load requirement basis only.
2. Maintaining the Power Packs/Engines in switch-off mode during well-logging &
production testing operations.
3. Use of Portable Gen-Set for lighting purpose at night.
4. Strict adherence to periodic servicing & pro-active maintenance of Engines resulted
in fuel efficiency thereby saving HSD & lubricants.

9.6 Environment Protection & Pollution Control Measures -

1. Effluent disposal was restricted to the pit lined with HDPE sheet to prevent flow of
effluent to surrounding areas and percolation of the same to the soil underneath.
2. Use of environmental friendly water base mud system in drilling well minimized
pollution control hazards.
3. Erection of brick-wall bunds around diesel storage tank, power-packs minimized
pollution risk caused by accidental spillage of HSD.
4. Use of acoustic Gen-Set at well-sites & camps helped reducing noise pollution to a
great extent.
5. Use of ear & nose muffs to minimizing noise & health pollution.
6. Collection of burnt lube oil in drums during servicing of power-packs/engines in
drilling & work-over wells and safe disposal thereafter.

11.2.2 Vendor Meet: It has always been an endeavour of M&C department to

encourage more and more participation of vendors against its tenders and to achieve the
same, understanding of Company’s Procurement Procedures is very essential on the part of
the vendors. It was, therefore, felt very essential to organise a “Vendor Awareness Program”
at Jodhpur to bring in awareness among the vendors of Rajasthan Project and accordingly,
Vendor Awareness Program was arranged on 11th November 2016 at Hotel Taj, Hari Mahal,
Jodhpur to share the procurement procedure and e-tendering process of OIL. The event was
conducted very successfully wherein around 36 members from vendor representing 22
vendors attended the program. An interactive session was conducted between the
participating vendors and Panel of senior executives from OIL towards the end of the
program, wherein the vendors/representatives were asked to put forward their issues, if
any, as well as suggestions to OIL. The interactive session went-off very well with very
positive feedback from the participating vendors. The presence of Independent External
Monitor (IEM) added value to the sessions. There was also representation from OIL’s other
spheres and vigilance department as well as representation from other PSU like ONGC,
Jodhpur.
