Gas production from KG-D6 in the week ended November 4 dropped to 25.11 mmscmd from about 26 mmscmd last month, according to an output status report filed by the company with the Oil Ministry in New Delhi.
KG-D6, where water and sand ingress coupled with drop in pressure led to a drastic fall in per-well output, had produced about 33 mmscmd at the beginning of the fiscal in April.
Production from Dhirubhai-1 and 3, the largest among the 19 oil and gas finds RIL has made in the KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 block, slipped to 20.06 mmscmd.
Together with 5.05 mmscmd output from MA oilfield in the same block, KG-D6 produced 25.11 mmsmcd during the week ending November 4, the report said.
The output is short of the planned 80 mmscmd of gas production for this time of the year.
D1&D3 output has fallen since hitting a peak of 55 mmscmd in August 2010
