Deepest oil well drilled by ONGC at KG basin

According to a company statement, ONGC drilled the well 1-D-1 in a block at Krishna Godavari basin. This is the deepest well drilled by the firm at a water depth of 10,411 feet (3,174 meters). The well was drilled at the block KG-DWN-2005/1.

   

The state-owned firm drilled over 100 deepwater wells since 2004. A large number of these wells are in water depth beyond 5,000 feet in environmentally and logistically difficult areas of east and west coast, ranging from Gujarat offshore to Mahanadi offshore, including 6 wells in Andaman offshore.

   

Out of these, around 25 wells have been drilled in water depth of 5,000 feet to 7,500 feet, and 16 wells in water depth of 7,500 feet to 10,000 feet. The current well 1-D-1, which is under drilling, is the 3rd well in beyond 10,000 feet water depth.
