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.
