???? 據(jù)油氣新聞2月19日消息稱，印度最大的勘探公司石油和天然氣公司財務(wù)主管Subhash Kumar周一表示，該公司希望在2024年從其位于印度東海岸的克里希納·戈達(dá)瓦里（KG）盆地的區(qū)塊中每天生產(chǎn)1500萬立方米天然氣。
????印度是世界第四大液化天然氣進(jìn)口國，該國總理納倫德拉已設(shè)定目標(biāo)，到2030年將清潔燃料在該國能源結(jié)構(gòu)中的比例從目前的6%提高到15%，印度希望提高當(dāng)?shù)靥烊粴猱a(chǎn)量。
????未來的大部分天然氣生產(chǎn)預(yù)計將來自克里希納·戈達(dá)瓦里盆地，ONGC和信實工業(yè)在那里運營區(qū)塊。信實的目標(biāo)是到2023年利用其在該盆地的資產(chǎn)生產(chǎn)3000萬立方米天然氣。
????Kumar表示，ONGC將從5月份開始將KG盆地區(qū)塊的產(chǎn)量提高到300-350萬立方米/天，在2022/23年將進(jìn)一步提高到850萬立方米/天，然后在2024年達(dá)到峰值。
????2020年4月至12月，信實和ONGC的總產(chǎn)量將約為印度公司平均生產(chǎn)的7700萬立方米/天的60％。
????為了使其天然氣業(yè)務(wù)盈利，ONGC已成立了一家新子公司，并希望政府提高當(dāng)?shù)靥烊粴鈨r格。
????目前當(dāng)?shù)靥烊粴鈨r格為179美元/百萬英熱單位(mmBtu)，影響了ONGC的收入。他說，該公司的生產(chǎn)成本為3.5至3.7美元/百萬英熱單位。
????這家公司將把整個天然氣業(yè)務(wù)分拆出來，并入新的子公司。
????Kumar表示，新子公司將競標(biāo)ONGC生產(chǎn)的天然氣，用于該集團(tuán)的煉油和石化計劃。????Kumar說:“就未來幾年而言，天然氣的發(fā)展將對公司的持續(xù)積極表現(xiàn)至關(guān)重要。”

????India onGC sees peak gas output from east coast block in 2024
????India’s top exploration company Oil and Natural Gas Corp hopes to produce 15 million cubic metres of gas a day (mmscmd) in 2024 from its block in the Krishna Godavari (KG) basin, off India’s east coast, its head of finance Subhash Kumar said on Monday
????India, the world’s fourth biggest importer of liquefied natural gas, wants to boost local gas output as Prime Minister Narendra has set a target to raise the share of the cleaner fuel in the country’s energy mix to 15% by 2030 from the current 6%.
????Most of the future gas production is expected from the Krishna Godavari basin, where onGC and Reliance Industries operate blocks. Reliance aims to produce 30 mmscmd gas by 2023 from its assets in the basin.
????onGC will ramp up production from its KG basin block to about 3-3.5 mmscmd from May, which will be further raised to 8.5 mmscmd in 2022/23 before hitting peak rate in 2024, Kumar said.
????Combined output of Reliance and onGC will be about 60% of the average 77 mmscmd Indian companies produced in April-December 2020.
????To make its gas business profitable onGC has floated a new subsidiary and expects government to raise local prices.
????Current local gas prices of $1.79/million British thermal units (mmBtu) have hit ONGC’s revenue. The company’s production cost is $3.5-$3.7/mmBtu, he said.
????The company will spin-off its entire gas business into the new subsidiary. onGC holds stake in downstream gas assets and overseas gas blocks either directly or through its subsidiaries.
????Kumar said the new subsidiary will bid for gas produced by onGC for use in the group’s refining and petrochemical plans.
????“As far as coming years are concerned the story of gas is going to unfold which is going to be critical for the sustained positive performance of the company,” Kumar said.
