GSPC hits big gas at KG basin yet again

GUJARAT State Petroleum Corporation has discovered another gas reserve in the hydrocarbon-rich Krishna Godavari (KG) basin, on the eastern coast. The company, however, is very tight lipped about the size of the discovery. The gas discovery was made in the new well of deepwater block of KG 22. The company recorded gas flow at the rate of 27.3 million cubic feet per day through a choke of 28/64 inches. GSPC managing director D J Pandian told ET, "We have again discovered gas. The flow rate is good. The size of the discovery could only be ascertained after the testing results.'
