ONGC has discovered gas and condensate in India’s shallow-water Western Offshore basin. Well MBSO51NBA#1 was drilled in NELP block MB-OSN-2005/1 to a depth of 4,181 m. During a test, the 2,596.5-2,599.5 m interval in the Upper Oligocene Daman formation flowed 171,630 cubic metres per day (6.1 MMcfpd) of gas and 93 bpd of condensate through a ½-in. choke. The location is respectively southwest and northeast of the C-37 and B-9 finds, opening a large area for future exploration.
