DECEMBER 20th<\/strong><\/div>\n

Bolstering efforts to meet one of the vital essentials- the energy need for AtmaNirbhar Bharat, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Steel today dedicated the Bengal Basin, the 8th producing basin of India, to the nation.<\/p>\n

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, while dedicating the Asokenagar discovery to the nation, said that the discovery would play a role for India\u2019s energy security. He told that the discovery would definitely add to our commitment towards Hon\u2019ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s clarion call for reducing oil import dependence.\u00a0 Shri Pradhan congratulated ONGC and said that with this discovery, around seven decades of relentless endeavours\u00a0 by scientists and engineers of India have borne fruits, giving a new hope for robust development of West Bengal. Bengal Basin finally looks set to find a place on the oil & gas map of the world, he added.<\/p>\n

The Minister told that the Indian government is committed to fully support ONGC to make this a turning point in its strive to bring more oil and gas from subsurface of West Bengal and help to bring new phase of prosperity for the state and its people with local employment. He told that the formal dedication of production site to the nation today marks this as a moment of national pride and a gift from soil of West Bengal to India.<\/p>\n

ONGC took a huge step by commencing oil production from the well Asokenagar-1, Bengal Basin in 24 Paragana district. The well Asoknagar-1 was completed as an oil producer under Early-Monetization Plan issued by Government of India. This makes ONGC having discovered and put to production 7 out of the 8 producing basins of India covering 83 percent of made oil & gas reserves. ONGC is India\u2019s largest oil and gas producer contributing 72 percent of the country\u2019s hydrocarbon production.<\/p>\n

The well Asokenagar 1 has heralded the end of painstaking search for hydrocarbons in the region by ONGC by sending its first hydrocarbon consignment produced during well testing to IOCL\u2019s Haldia Oil Refinery done earlier on 5 November 2020. Shri Pradhan was accompanied by Shri Jyotirmay Singh Mahato, Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha, Shri Shashi Shanker, CMD, ONGC and Directors of ONGC during the event held at the production site of Asokenagar, around 50 Km from state capital Kolkata. Shri Pradhan commenced the formal production of oil by switching on the Sucker Rod Pump (SRP) amidst a select gathering of senior officials, following Covid protocols. He visited the geophysical party camp and checked the seismic data collection being done for appraisal program of Asokenagar block.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
