In August 2005, Reliance and HEPI were
awarded, under NELP V, a second licence in the deepwater Krishna
Godavari Basin. The D3 block encompasses an area of
3,288 km2 and is situated in the emerging world class Krishna
Godavari Basin in India. It is in water depths ranging from 400 m
to 2,200 m and is located approximately 45 km offshore. The block
is operated by Reliance.
The minimum work programme for phase one of the licence requires
the drilling of six exploration wells. To date, three exploration
wells have been drilled, one well has been pre-drilled and one is
currently being drilled. In its technical evaluation report, GCA
noted that the presence of an unconventional biogenic gas
petroleum system in deepwater offshore India has been proven in
the D3 block.
