Kanawara
Project Details
The Kanawara field covers an area of 6.3 km² and is located in the Tarapur block and to the north of Khambhat town, Gujarat, India. The field was discovered in February 1971 by ONGC through the drilling of exploratory well K #2 and K#3 wherein Hydrocarbon presence is established. Subsequently, in the year 2001 field was awarded under Production Sharing Contract and since then GNRL acted as Operator representing Contractor partner with JV partner M/s. Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited.
To date, JV undertook drilling of 7 appraisal wells. All wells are established as oil and gas producers from Eocene Pay-IV within Kalol formation and all the wells are kept under regular production after taking up required HF stimulation jobs.
Strategies are put in place to achieve optimum recoveries through the implementation of optimal reservoir technologies. In 2017, Field development plan (FDP) envisioned was approved by Ministry of Petroleum, Government of India pursuant to which six development wells and one appraisal wells have been proposed for drilling towards optimal exploitation of field reserves. The cumulative production from the Kanawara field crossed 86 MMm3 of gas and 287 Mbbl oil as on 31st March 2022.
As a part of FDP studies, 1st phase of development drilling has been commenced on 8th November, 2022. Two wells (K #11 & K #15) have been drilled and waiting for hydrofracturing job for commercial production. Drilling of third well K #14 in progress.
Kanawara field Operated by GNRL Oil & Gas Limited in JV participation with Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited, had commenced planned development drilling and successfully completed drilling of 3 wells viz., K#11_st, K#14 & K#15. All the three wells drilled are established as producers from Eocene reservoir pay section. Drilling results are quite encouraging and has added reserves down dip for further exploitation. Newly drilled wells are put on regular production from April 1, 2023 after carrying out Hydraulic fracturing.
With the addition of new wells , increment in Oil & Gas production is 600% & 300% respectively vis-à-vis base production prior drilling. Operator GNRL currently contemplates to take up further drilling in the area as per approved Field development program. Further drilling shall commence next year after firming up predictive field performance model of the field.
