New Delhi: Reliance Industries has not kept its commitment on drilling wells on the prolific eastern offshore KG-D6 field that has seen drastic fall in production, the oil regulator DGH said today. Reliance had committed to drill 22 wells on Dhirubhai-1 and 3 fields - the largest of 18 gas discoveries in the block KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 block in Bay of Bengal, by April 2011 to produce 53.4 million standard cubic meters of gas per day. Another 8-9 mmscmd output was to come from MA oilfield in the same block, taking the total output committed in the Field Development Plan (FDP) to 61.88 mmscmd by April 2011. Against this, it has so drilled and completed 18 production wells on D1 and D3 fields giving a combined output of about 42 mmscmd, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) Director General S K Srivastava said today.
