Block MB/OSDSF/B-80/2016 (B-80)
The Field Development Plan of this Block involves drilling two new subsea development wells. The major part of the drilling campaign was executed during the COVID-19 pandemic amidst the complete lockdown. Despite facing global sourcing hurdles and navigating local logistics, HOEC successfully completed the drilling campaign. The project involved installation of India’s first Mobile Offshore Processing Unit (MOPU), setting up a Single Point Mooring (SPM) system, and mobilizing a Floating Storage & Offloading (FSO) vessel.
The field was put on production in June 2022 and HOEC became the first company to initiate production from an offshore field under the DSF policy of the Government of India. The first crude offtake was recorded on January 30, 2024.
Block MB/OSDSF/B15/2024
This Block spans over 332.4 Sq. Kms. area in the Mumbai Offshore region at a water depth of about 40m, encapsulating two discoveries B-15A-1 and B-15-2, with potential for further exploration. A total of 6 wells has been drilled in this contract area. Well B-15A-1 tested approximately 1.66 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) of gas and 1833 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and Well B-15-2 tested around 1151 barrels of oil and 0.91 mmscfd of gas from the Panna formation. HOEC is the Operator of this Block with 100% Participating Interest.
