In August 2002, Reliance and HEPI bid
for 15 licences in the NELP-III licence bidding round. The consortium
was successful in being awarded 9 exploration licences. HEPI
has retained an interest in the D9 licence, a deepwater lock
in the Krishna Godavari Basin, and has reassigned the remainder
to Reliance. The retained licence is considered as having high
potential as it is situated adjacent to the prolific Dhirubhai
field discovered and operated by Reliance.
The licence encompasses 11,605 km2
in the Bay of Bengal where water depths vary from 2,300 m to
3,100 m. The participating interests (per cent.) for this licence
are as follows:
