PETROWATCH

Reliance has released estimates of initial in-place gas at the NEC-OSN-97/2 block offshore Orissa where last month the company announced a significant discovery. Reliance last month told the oil ministry that the three discoveries at the NELP-1 block hold a total of 960 billion cubic feet of 'initial in place' gas.

On June 24th, Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani told shareholders in Mumbai that the Dhirubhai-9, 10 and 11 wells (named after group founder Dhirubhai Ambani) drilled at NEC-OSN-97/2 could hold between three to five trillion cubic feet in-place gas. ONGC had drilled about 60 dry wells on this block before it went to Reliance.
