OIL Discovers New Natural Gas Reserve in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan

Oil India Limited has recently discovered a new natural gas reserve in Rajasthan’s Jaisalmer district, giving a major boost to India’s energy sector and domestic gas production.

According to the company, natural gas flow has started for the first time from the Sanu Formation in the Dandewala field located in the Jaisalmer district.

Oil India said the newly discovered gas zone is currently producing around 25,000 standard cubic metres of natural gas per day. Officials described the initial production results as encouraging and said output may increase further after detailed testing and development work.

Energy experts said the discovery could strengthen India’s efforts towards energy self-reliance and help reduce dependence on imported oil and gas. Increased domestic gas production is also expected to improve energy security and lower import-related expenditure.
