Mumbai, Dec (EPC News): Oil and Natural Gas Corp has found a huge gas deposit in the northeastern state of Tripura.
The new gas pool was discovered at Sundalbari structure in southern Tripura. On initial testing, the low resistivity sand perforated in the interval of 2164-68 metre produced gas at the rate of 160,000 million cubic metre per day.
It is anticipated that this new discovery of gas would open up new avenues and approach for exploration of Stratigraphic Traps in Tripura Fold Belt for adding considerable reserve base and enhance production potential in future.
This discovery of new hydrocarbon would help in meeting additional gas requirements for the commissioning of the 740 MW capacity mega power project in south Tripura's Palatana.
