The domestic gas production stood down for the 14th straight month in January due to the continuous drop in Reliance Industries operated Krishna Godavari Basin D6 block output.The output fell by 8.9 percent year-on-year at 3.963 billion cu m. Reliance Industries has told the government that natural gas production at the producing fields in the bloÂck was likely to fall to an all-time low of 22 million cu m a day (mmscmd) by 2013-14 since it hit a peak of 60 mmscmd in end-2009.
The company has projected that its output for 2012-13 from the producing fields in the block will be about 27.60 mmscmd. Currently, RIL is producing about 36-37 mmscmd. In January, the domestic output from the offshore fields fell 11.8 percent year-on-year at 3.194 billion cu m.Crude oil output dropped for the fourth strÂaight month by 1.9 percent year-on-year at 3.173 million tonne in January.This was mainly because production from Assam fields fell 100 percent.
