    Unit-wise production details with reasons for shortfall are as under:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Crude oil production by\u00a0ONGC<\/strong>during March, 2020 was 1778.11 TMT which is marginally higher 0.56%when compared with March,2019 but 14.57% lower than the target for the month. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-March, 2019-20 was 20626.95 TMT which is 6.89%and 1.97% lower than target for the period andproduction during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:\n
        \n
      • Non realization of production from WO-16 cluster due to unavailability of MOPU.<\/li>\n
      • Less production from B-127 Cluster due to increase in water cut.<\/li>\n
      • ESP issues in wells of NBP and Ratna fields.<\/li>\n
      • Increase in water cut in certain wells of Mumbai High, Heera, Neelam& B173A fields.<\/li>\n
      • Less oil production due to restriction of movements for field operations in onshore fields due to COVID-19 lockdown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Crude oil production by\u00a0OIL<\/strong>during March, 2020 was254.07 TMT which is 13.65% lower than the monthly target and 8.64% lower than the March, 2019. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-March, 2019-20 was 3106.61 TMT which is 9.29% and 5.66% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:\n
          \n
        • Rise in water cut in wells & decline in total liquid production of wells as a consequential effect of the wells shut-in during bandhs.<\/li>\n
        • Impact on progress of Workover and Drilling operations due to COVID-19.<\/li>\n

            \n
          • RJ-ON-90\/1: Less than planned contribution from workover and drilling wells. ESP and Operations issues etc. in the Mangala, Bhagyam Aishwarya, ABH and Satellite fields.<\/li>\n
