Oil India reports that it has found natural gas in its third exploratory well in an offshore block in the Andaman region. The announcement follows earlier results from the company’s drilling campaign, with Oil India previously reporting natural gas presence in a second exploratory well drilled in September last year. The latest find adds to the indications from the ongoing exploration activity in the same area, suggesting continued presence of hydrocarbons in the block being evaluated.
Both reports describe the discovery as being based on the outcomes from the company’s drilling in the Andaman offshore exploration block, with emphasis on the incremental progress from sequential exploratory wells. While the sources confirm the detection of natural gas, they do not provide further details such as estimated reserves, testing results, or commercial development timelines. Oil India’s continued drilling and reporting of gas presence across multiple wells indicate an effort to assess the subsurface potential of the block and determine next steps in its exploration program.
