GUWAHATI, Sept 23: Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC) discovered 35 new oil and gas fields in the Northeast during 2007-2008. The number of new discoveries during the period from April to August has reached nine, said ONGC’s Chairman-cum-Managing Director RS Sharma in a press conference here last night.
The new potential oil and gas fields discovered this year are: Disangmukh in north Asom, Kunjaban and Sundalbari (both gas) in Tripura and Bebejia in Asom. The oil giant also discovered new pool at Panidihing and Mekrang in Asom, ONGC sources said.
Meanwhile, ONGC’s basin manager (GGM) S Choudhury said exploration of oil in Cachar district still continues. Though the project, initiated about 15 years back, has been hampered due to some technical problems, the search for oil around the South Asom town of Silchar continues, since the 3-D survey has established the fact there is a potential reserve in Cachar district, he said.
