According to a status report from Reliance Industries (RIL), gas output from its KG-D6 block in the week ended May 6 dropped to 32.66 mscmd. 
 
 Production from Dhirubhai-1 and 3, the largest among the 19 oil and gas finds RIL has made in the KG-DWN-98/3 or KG-D6 block, slipped to 26.51 mmscmd during April 30 to May 6.
 
 Together with 6.15 mmscmd output from MA oilfield in the same block, KG-D6 produced 32.66 mmsmcd during the week ending May 6. 
 
 KG-D6, where water and sand ingress coupled with drop in pressure has led a drastic fall in per-well output, had produced 34.62 mmscmd in the beginning of March.
 
 The KG-D6 output has fallen since hitting peak of 61.5 mmscmd in March 2010 as RIL shut wells after water and sand ingress.
 
 During the week under review, a "total of 12 wells were on production and 6 wells (A2, A6, A10, B1, B2 & B13) were kept closed due to high water cut/sanding issues, the report said.
