The CY-OS/2 block is located in the
northern part of the Cauvery Basin immediately offshore from
Pondicherry and covers approximately 859 km2. HEPI is the operator
of this block.
The CY-OS/2 licence comprises two retained areas. The northern
area includes the Ganesha (Fan A -1) discovery. The southern area
lies immediately adjacent to the HEPI-operated PY-3 field.
Another commercial gas field (PY-1) lies within the southern part
of the acreage. The PY-1 field is owned by Hindustan Oil
Exploration Company Limited and is expected to begin production in
2009.
The
PY-3 oil field and PY-1 gas field are both contained within
the CY-OS/2 licence but have been ring-fenced out, each with
a separate PSC.
Ganesha gas discovery (Fan A-1 well): On 8 January 2007 the
Company announced that the Fan A-1 well had discovered
hydrocarbons.
