Unit-wise production details with reasons for shortfall are as under:

1. Crude oil production by ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation) in nomination block during October 2021 was 1641.04 TMT, which is 4.98% lower than target of the month and 3.87% lower when compared with production of October 2020. Cumulative crude oil production by ONGC during April-October, 2021 was 11345.19 TMT, which is 4.21% and 4.35% lower than target for the period and production during corresponding period of last year respectively. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• Less than anticipated production from WO-16 cluster due to delay in mobilization of MOPU Sagar Samrat.
• Less than anticipated production from Cluster-8 fields due to delay in inputs as installation of wellhead platforms got delayed due to Covid impact.
• Loss in oil production in Ratna& R-Series due to delay in H2S package at R-13A wells. 
• Increase in water cut and decline in liquid production in Gandhar field in Ankleshwar.

2. Crude oil production by OIL (Oil India Ltd) in the nomination block during October 2021 was 252.99 TMT, which is 7.18% lower than target of the month and 1.46% lower when compared with production of October 2020. Cumulative crude oil production by OIL during April-October 2021 was 1748.11 TMT, which is 0.34% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year but 3.25% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• Less than planned contribution from workover wells and drilling wells.
• Less than planned due to local disturbance & miscreants activities in main producing area (MPA).

3. Crude oil production by Pvt/JVs companies in the PSC/RSC regime during October 2021 was 618.43 TMT, which is 2.39% higher than the production of October 2020 but 7.97% lower than the target of the reporting month. Cumulative crude oil production by Pvt/JVs companies during April-October2021 was 4343.72 TMT, which is 0.14% higher than the production during corresponding period of last year but 3.82% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• MB/OSDSF/B80/2016 (Hindustan Oil Exploration Company Ltd.): Delay in commencement of production.
• RAVVA (Cairn Energy India Ltd): Production shortfall is due to less water injection in RC-4ST and RC-11z which has caused lower production from producer wells.
• RJ-ON-90/1 (Cairn Energy India Ltd): Production shortfall due to Artificial Lift failures, well failures & Line, leakages in ABH and Bhagyam. Wells running intermittently, Pump failure and Delay in workover of few wells of Satellite fields Guda, Saraswati, NL and Raageshwari Oil. Delay in Polymer start-up in NE field.
• CB-OS/2 ((Cairn Energy India Ltd): Production shortfall is due to Natural decline, increase in water cut observed in aquifer supported pools and sanding/loading issues in the wells.
•  CB-ONN-2004/2 (ONGC): Two development well in VD-3 discovery could not be drilled as planned. The production rate of new development well Vadatal#22 is not as expected.

3.1 CPSE Refineries’ crude oil processed during October 2021 was 11682.83 TMT, which is 8.54% higher than target for the month but3.04% lowerthan the production of October 2020. Cumulative crude throughput during April-October2021 was 73945.76 TMT which is 13.07% higher than corresponding period of last year but 10.02% lower than target for the period. Reasons for shortfall in production are as under:

• IOCL-Guwahati Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to delayed Atmospheric and Vacuum Distillation Unit-1 (AVU-1) start-up.
• IOCL-Gujarat Refinery & Panipat Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to lower product demand.
• IOCL-Paradip Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to Continuous Catalytic Reforming Unit (CCRU) shutdown.
• BPCL-Kochi Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to acid gas limitation.
• HPCL, Mumbai Refinery: Crude throughput is less due to unplanned shutdown of one of the crude processing unit.
• CPCL-Manali Refinery: Monthly Crude processed lower due to revamp activities of Hydrogen unit for RLPNG conversion, catalyst change cum reactor effluent cooler repair at site in OHCU and subsequent stabilization of units which intern led to idling of CDU-II after M&I shutdown.
