Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is pleased to announce the first oil discovery in the onland exploratory block CB–ONN–2003/1 (CB 10 A&B) awarded under the NELP-V round of exploration bidding. RIL holds 100% participating interest (PI) inthis block which is located at a distance of about 130 kms from Ahmedabad in Gujarat in the Cambay basin. The block covers an area of 635 sq km in two parts viz., Part A located in the west with an area of 570 square kilometers & Part B located to the east with an area of 65 square kilometers.
3D Seismic data has been acquired over 80% of the block area and 2D Seismic data has beenacquired over the entire area. Five wells have been drilled in this block. The fifth well,CB10A-A1, which is the discovery well was drilled to a total depth of 1451 m in Part A of the block with the objective of exploring the play fairway in the Miocene Basal Sand (MBS) of Babaguru formation. A gross reservoir thickness of about 15 m was encountered and the well flowed at a rate of 500 barrels of oil per day (bopd) through a 6 mm bean with a flowing tubing head pressure of 360 psi on conventional testing. This Discovery is expected to open future potential within the block.
The Discovery, named ‘Dhirubhai–43’ has been notified to Government of India and
Directorate General of Hydrocarbons. Commerciality of this Discovery is being ascertained through more data gathering and analysis.
This Discovery supplements RIL’s understanding of the petroleum system in this block in the Cambay basin. Based on interpretation of the acquired 3D seismic data in the Contract Area, several prospects have been identified at different stratigraphic levels to fulfill Minimum Work Obligation under the PSC.

RIL is doing a wonderful job, finding hydrocarbons from the remotest areas.
RIL is the only company which had such a successful stint during all the NELP rounds. Without RIL’s discoveries, NELP would have been a complete failure.
RIL probably has the best success ratio in finding oil and gas with such large scale of operation.
RIL is doing the true service to the nation, finding out precious hydrocarbon, operating in harsh working conditions and fuelling energy needs of the nation which predominantly has been dependent on imported oil.
